What's your go-to breeder nowadays?

First of all, not trying to start a seedbank war here, just some friendly info-exchange


Second, please excuse my ignorance. I'm somewhat rusty on the topic, did most of growing in early 2000s, so I'm out of date on a thing or two.

I'll spend a few days in Amsterdam and I'll buy some seeds, to have a fridge-collection and to grow some as well.
Now, these days it seems like there's more seedbanks than pistils on a female plant, white-lable businessman replaced old-school breeders and every other bro is a "breeder".
Also, I'm a bit confused with Blue gorilla balls cookies lemon super zkittles OG haze-kind of varieties, seems it went a bit too far :biggrin:
But anyway, guess that's what market wants, and we can't be stuck forever with skunks, white this and that, AKs and other old-school legends.

So, considering all that, who is still putting in the real work and producing some great beans? Which breeder do you buy from when you shop for some seeds?
I'd rather leave some money to a breeder that puts in the work and effort, than to a McDonalds of seedbanks.
Btw. I'd appreciate suggestions for stuff you can buy in a shop in Amsterdam. I'm not paying and ordering anything weed-related online, my EU country still puts you in jail for that.

I'll start the list with Simon of Serious seeds and Shantibaba.
Maybe Soma?

@conor c might be a good one to ask. Dude is based in Scotland I think, and orders from several European seed banks. Also is a wealth of strain knowledge, like a human library.

Mean Gene is an experienced breeder that puts in the work to make sure his genetics are stable and his plants turn out killer! https://freebornselections.com/

Thanks dude haha I try

In the Uk used to love sensi range . Also big budda seeds and mr nice

Cricket and cicada, akbeanbrains, and Tony green's tortured beans are some of my favorite. C&C have some nice old school crosses and I've always gotten at least 95% germination rate. The skunk x puck is probably my favorite thing I've smoked in the last 25 years. Beanbrains has old school stuff with a few modern crosses. His americana, vintage bb. And nl5hz crosses are all really nice. I've really enjoyed his gear. Tony Green is the gg4 master. He sends full tubes and has a great germination rate. His crosses are dank. Those are my tops.

sensi all the way, although i haven't tried many other seed banks

as far as i know barneys is from the netherlands so you might find them somewhere around your location. but i usually got them online from herbies, no laws problem so far ahaha

Amsterdam Seed Center. Id would look into the ACE Seeds genetics. They also have many others. Karma is good. Connoisseur Genetics.
