Seed brand suggestions?

I've only used bag seed so far and I've had pretty great results but I'm at the point now where I'd like to try picking a specific strain instead of just rolling the dice and hoping for the best.

So I know some people here use Herbies and/or Attitude seed bank and I was wondering what brands you guys have tried and what kind of success you have had with them. Maybe ones to avoid or look into. I'm overwhelmed with the sheer number of vendors offered on each site and the prices vary so drastically.

Any advice is appreciated!

Ive had some success with NIRVANA, Fem Northern Lights is excellent, Papaya is a no kidding knock you on your ass indica---also--despite almost universal criticism Ive had good results from Barneys Farm Laughing Buddha in particular---just now im growing Star 47 from World Of Seeds and its looking good----and although Ive never bought from them lots will swear SANNIES SEEDS is one of the best seed suppliers out there.

I like Breeders Boutique. They have some really good strains at a great price. They even hook you up with more freebies than most places, normally a 10 pack.

Sannie's for sure, but if you are going with attitude go with one of these breeders..

303
Ace
Bodhi
Cannabiogen
Homegrown Fantaseeds
Mr. Nice
Sensi Seed
Serious Seeds
TGA

There are other reliable breeders on Attitude as well, but you can't go wrong with most those ^ guys.

Everyone is going to have their own list of course, but here's my personal preference of "cant go wrong" breeders:

Feminised Seeds availible- Bomb, Sweet, Kannabia, Reserva Privada, OGraskal, DNA Genetics, Connoisseur Genetics

Reg Seeds only- TGA, Dynasty, Gage Green

I have had great, fast shipping with Herbies every time. Never a complaint and reasonable pricing

A couple years ago I did same as you, I started out with bagseed to get the feel of it. Then I wanted to try something from the seed bank and I ended up ordering the Herijuana from Sannies. It was just amazing. Its an easy to grow and fast finishing mostly indica that can survive some newbie mistakes. I would highly reccomend you look into it. And the strain itself is well known for its hard hitting stoner high. Now they even have it in female seed. Even the freebies Sannie provides are first rate. If you go that route I promise you wont regret it.

Many good companies out there including white label, tga, g13, delicious, paradise, dinafem, and more that I just don't have personal experience with...its almost easier to tell you what to avoid based on the general consensus that they just aren't worth the crap shoot so for me and many others those are Cali connect, Barneys farm,greenhouse, and Dutch Passion..maybe couple others but those are the companies ive personally gotten something from that I was not happy with

Considering the sheer number of vendors offered on each site ya'll have helped tons by narrowing the list considerably. Thanks for all the recommendations it's much appreciated. =D
