Anyway, Attitude is a waste of money, they do not back up their products.
Attitude is in the U.K. It is legal there to sell and own seeds, but not to germinate and grow them. Due to legalities Attitude cannot talk about germination issues or growing issues etc. Doing so could cost them their business and someone might end up in jail. It is too big of a risk to take for one dissatisfied customer who could have gotten help from them if the dissatisfied customer knew how to talk around the issue while still being clear in what they were saying.
Over the last few years or so I have known two people who purchased seeds from Attitude (both times cheap seeds from low-grade breeders) and had terrible germination rates. When it happened to the first he sent an email about the unacceptable germination rate and did not even receive a response of any sort.
He bitched like you and I asked him if he'd never seen "Goodfellas" or never watched any episodes of "The Sopranos?" He didn't have a clue what I was hinting at so I told him. I said if he'd ever watched any mob movies or TV shows he would have noticed how the mobsters will talk about things they have going on or did but never in a direct way where if it was overheard/taped could be used as evidence or clue about some ongoing criminal enterprise. Did you talk to the guy about the thing, you know pork chop boy, not a friend of ours, a friend of theirs?
My friend tried again and wrote something along these lines. On such and such a date I placed an order for one of your novelty items, order number (or maybe he said tracking number, I don't remember) for such and such an amount and it was shipped on such and such a date. Upon arrival I unpacked my order and tried to use it and found it was totally inoperative. I have purchased many similar novelty items in the past and am very familiar with their operation and in this case there is no doubt that that the cause of it's failure was a manufacturing flaw.
He received a replacement pack of seeds with a couple of that month's freebies add to it.
When it happened to my second friend I told him the same thing and said how my other friend did it and received replacement seeds. He knew him too and asked him what he wrote, he wasn't as creative as the first, and he got the idea, wrote almost the same thing and he received replacement seeds and there were also a couple of that months freebie seeds with them.
You cannot expect any employee of Attitude to talk about, either in person or on the telephone, or discuss in emails or letters, anything that is illegal. Attitude could be closed down and people could go to jail. For as massive as their sales numbers are they would rather have the odd unhappy customer, like you, bitching about them than risk being closed down and some people possibly going to jail. They know that for every one person like you who claims Attitude is terrible there will be 25, 50 or 100 who will respond saying they have used Attitude many times and never had any problems whatsoever and that will more than counter the amount of bitching one person will do now and then.
But if you know how to talk to them, how to talk around the issue so nothing even borderline illegal is said or needs to be said in reply, but you are still able to make yourself totally understood, then you have a chance of receiving replacement seeds plus a few extra as an apology for the first not living up to your expectations.

Greetings growers this is for medical marijuana users and those who can use the information legally. Seedbank ratings are farther down and the links to growing information are near the end.
The seedbank update has now racked up over 13 continuous years of service to growers and seed buyers. Many people count on it to avoid the many many ripoffs who are out there. It would not be possible without you, the buyer who sends in your report.
I've been getting a lot of complaints about bcbuddepot. Most of the complaints were about non delivery or very slow delivery like several months. A few complaints were about quality of seeds. They will remain in the not recommended section. The high rated seedbanks have been in business for years and years and try to satisfy their customers. That's how they get their good ratings.
The post office in the USA often gets funny about delivering letters. People many times use a fake name to get orders sent to them. The trouble is that the letter carrier may not deliver it if they do not recognize the name. Before you send your order, send a letter to yourself using the name and see if it arrives. Then make your order. Ask the company first if they send to your country. If no reply, do not order.
If you have bought from a seedbank send in your report so that other people will know how good or bad it was. No seeds are sold from this site. This center is only for information. You may also send in a grow report on a variety you grew out.

This group I've heard good things about. Those with four stars or more are the most reliable. They will send to most countries. I've tried to list those that ship worldwide. Those with a relatively low rating may just be new to the ratings.
It takes a while to earn a good rating. A 1/2 means they are half way to the next star.
I keep getting bad reports on bc bud depot. Non delivery or poor quality seeds if they do arrive.

The limited area seedbanks and a list of bad ones to avoid will be found farther down
Check out the new and unrated seedbanks at the
New page. These are seedbanks I've heard good things about but haven't had enough reports on to make a rating.
I don't have time to answer individual questions so I usually just tell people to do some reading. I have information on my site and links to other sites with even more info.
Would you like to see your grow report in the SU? Please include the name of the strain, where obtained, how it grew, potency and yield. Tell us the names of other strains you grew or smoked for comparison. Cultivation tips and news items are also welcome. You can get credit under any name you prefer or stay anonymous. If you like I will rewrite it for you.

This is a report on which seedbanks are reliable and give good service. I also list some bad ones to stay away from (crooks). Reports from people who have ordered from cannabis seedbanks are welcome. That's what this is based on, reports from people like you. You can send your report to me at
seedbanks@ZZZ37.com (remove ZZZ) If you send a report please state what bank you ordered from, how long it took and roughly how far away you are from them. I'd like to know if the packaging was stealty (well hidden) and what method used and if any seeds were crushed. Any other info you think is important will be appreciated. Reports on how the crop turned out are good too.
I don't rate companies on price, that's up to you to compare. The more stars, the more reliable. F = faster than average, no letter = average, S = slow.
I have a system of additional ratings. They are a one (1) for accepting payment by money order or certified check without charging extra for it. A two (2) will be given for free stealth shipping. A three (3) will be given for accepting credit cards. This leaves a paper trail but is quick and easy. (4) indicates that they use PGP code for privacy on request. A five (5) means Western Union is accepted. A six (6) indicates customer complaints about seed quality. An example of the new rating might be Ed's seeds (***) (1,2) which means three stars and he gives free shipping and takes money orders with no extra charge.
These seedbanks send to certain countries only.
Dr Chronic 3 star and 1/2 (F***1/2)
Pukka 2 star (**) (1)
Sensi Seed 4 star and 1/2 (****1/2)
Nirvana Shop3 star and 1/2 (***1/2)
Seeds of Passion2 star (**)
These are seed breeders and wholesalers primarily. While they have a good reputation, I don't have enough information about their mail order seed business to make a rating.

This is the rip-off section. The following seedbanks I've heard many bad things about. They are NOT recommended. aka means also known as. X means they seldom or never send the product. N means sending non viable seeds (non sprouting seeds) M indicates they send very inferior seeds or nothing at all

Richies Seedshack (X)

Weedseed (X)
Pot a Gold (X)
These seedbanks are not recommended due to excessive complaints. This is a judgement call and some customers have said they were satisfied. The nature of the complaints are as follows: 10 = non delivery, 11 = very poor customer service, 12 = inferior quality or misrepresented seeds, 13 = unethical conduct by seedbank owner.
