This is a review from a few seed banks I just ordered from: First off I am not employed by anyone in this review nor am I bias towards any seed company out there. I used my own money to buy seeds from everyone listed below. All seeds I order Sat April 9th 2011.
About me: I've been growing a few years now and have ordered from nirvanashop.com about 2 years ago with good results, of about 85% pop rate out of 100 seeds I had ordered at that time.
This is a new year and I wanted to try some new strains out so I figured I would order seed's from a few different banks out there to see what they had to offer. Let the soggy began:
All seeds were ordered at the same time and I live on the west coast of the USA. I will add details as reviews change:
Review's in order of seeds that got to me in the mailbox.
First up: cannabisseeds.com
I bought the $200 500 seed special. I've heard horrendous things about this seed bank but I gave them a shot anyhow. First the shipping was crazy fast took total time of 3 days (sent airmail). Came in a bubble pack in tubes. This is how they claim it is crush proof, and unless someone stomps on the package they are correct. Seed Count came in correctly at 100 seeds a tube. All seeds seem to be about the same size nice and fat. The one thing that concerns me the most is that the seeds all look the same even when they are to be different strains. There support is non existent as I emailed a few times to make sure they got my order and never received anything back. not even a conformation of my order via email. (worrisome to say the least)

Ordered $45, 10 seeds of purple widow: Heard mixed reviews about this company. Shipping was very fast at 4 days I got the beans. This was by far the most unusual shipping style I've seen yet. They hot glued X's to heavy paper (red circle in picture) then used cotton back tape to hold them in place. Very effective and no seeds arrived crushed, was not very professional and left a lot to be desired. All seeds were significantly smaller then CS's seeds and not very unformed in size or color with 14 total seeds, but 2 were runts seeds(junk) guess that counts as freebies? They did send email updates as to when order was received and shipped so no need for me to contact them.

I have used them in the past with success but by far the slowest shipping they show order going out today so it took them 1 full week just to ship!!! I'll update when I actually get the seeds. Customer service is good and responded in a fair manner.
