Pacific Seedbank Germination Guarantee

Hey, just wanted to let the community know about my experience with Pacific Seedbank. In December, I ordered 5 Girl Scout Cookies, 5 Godfather OG, and 5 New Glue seeds. They threw in 3 Cateract Kush autos. I germinated the whole lot using their recommended paper towel method, and got miserable results. 1 Godfather, 2 Girl Scout Cookies, 3 New Glue germinated. 2 of the 3 free ones popped. I took pics of the failed ones, emailed them to customer service, and a day later they sent me an email with a code for the dollar value of the bad seeds. I have until June to use it. I hope the replacement seeds do better than the first batch. Pleased with the customer service.

I have just done a purchase from them. Your posting kills the rest of my confidence in them.
I bitched to them about no freebies when I spent over $200 and they argued about how great there CS was and they only give out freebies when there is issues.

I understand that but when a fair amount of seed dealers that do it is a fair question to ask. Plus with the price of seeds normally over 10 $ it is a reasonable request I think.

With the number of seed sellers it is a good way to make an impression on a customer so he or she returns for more purchases.

I've been getting my seeds exclusively from Pacific Seed Bank for 4 years now. I've never had any issues with any of my orders. I get >90% germination every time; usually it's 100%. I did use their recommended seed germination method for the first year. When I felt that I had mastered that method I started trying other methods and have had success with those as well.

I always pay by mail and get 3 free seeds every order. I've ordered autos and feminized seeds from them but not regs. I will say that I like some of the breeders better than others, but that would probably be true for any seed bank.

I live in CA and wanted to spend my money in CA. Funny, but there's a lot of seed banks in the UK, Europe, Canada and elsewhere, but I didn't find too many out of NorCal.

Do yourselves a favor and never buy pacific seedbank gear, it's a white label outfit, so that strain you THINK you're growing isn't actually what you think it is, probably has almost no relation to whatever you're growing. I mean come on guys, you're literally on a cannabis forum, there's sooooo many legit breeders you could buy from, but you got it in your head that you wanted a certain strain and saw it was available on pacific and purchased not knowing its completely fake lol I mean yes, seeds do show up, they germinate and grow into plants, some of which might even be OK smoke, but if you bought girl scout cookies from them expecting authentic girl scout cookies, you're barking up the wrong tree lol here's some tips to avoid being ripped off in the future: 1. When you like a certain strain, do the bare minimum and actually Google who bred said strain and at least attempt to aquire the seeds through whoever created it if they have seeds available
2. Don't buy seeds from seedbanks that don't have a breeder you can point to and who stands behind the brand, for example: jay beezy of seed junky genetics bred wedding cake, and I wanted wedding cake seeds, so I bought a pack of wedding cake f2 from a seedbank that carried seed junky genetics gear, get it?!

100%

That's the rub. You really have no idea what you're actually getting.
