Pacific seedbank?

Hey. New Canuck user here but I've been checking out the site for a bit. Just thought I'd put my 2 bits in on Pacific Seed Bank. As a new grower who has gardening experience, I've only ordered from Crop King for some auto's. Thought I'd try PSC because they carry the strain that is one of my favs....Blue Mystic. Much like others have suggested, I put in my order in around June 2020. They emailed me saying they got the money and then I waited. As I was waiting for the seeds, I came across a few threads like this questioning the genetics, the customer service, etc.. so I was getting a bit nervous. About 2 months later I got the seeds in the mail in an unmarked vial packaging. Quite a bit different than what the experience from Crop King has been. Dropped 2 seeds to germinate and both did just that. One was fine, the other had a hard time breaking out of it's husk to start. I'm now in week 7 of flower with them and am at the point of not really giving a shit if they true genetics or not. They both grew a lot different, one being taller and one shorter and stocky. But they both smell and show the same traits so far so I'm hopiong the genomes may be a bit different is all.

Not sure if I can fully agree with the complaints the company is getting just due to the fact I seem to be getting what I paid for. I certainly don't know enough about the thousands of genetics out there now to determine if they're the "real deal" or whatever so I'm just hoping for the best after cure. They seem OK to me.

Agree with the 2 month not being acceptable. Not worried about packaging but I agree if it says Norcal Farms on the site, it should come in that packaging. Wonder what the vetted seed producers think about this practice.

I keep running into this puffy low yielding pheno in the fruity crosses they have. Anyone else have that? It was worst in their anesthesia, 3 of 3 beans. Grapefruit only 1 of 5 is doing it.

Love how the rest of the beans have grown out and the puffy pheno reeks of sweet candy, so not all bad.

I'm really new to growing so I don't know the industry like others here. Seems Norcal Farms IS Pacific Seed Bank or very closely related. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt based on when I ordered (middle of a pandemic), pricing, and the yet to be determined quality of the bud. For all we know the packaging was different because they ran out of it and couldn't get it shipped in time..lol. I'm not too worried about a seed bank being a bit disorganized and such. I got my seeds and they're growing good.

Gran daddy purp came out to 1034g wet so guaranteed 9 ounce probably closer to 11 as stalks were small.

I placed a small order with them, about $150.00 back on March 15. 3 days later they cut a shipping label thru the postal service, but that is it. I've contacted them more than a half dozen times to only get lip service; they blamed the delay on everything from COVID-19, delays in the postal service, and then they back tracked to, it takes 5 to 7 days for them to process orders but couldn't answer why it's been more than 2 weeks and the order isn't processed and had no idea when it would be. Hear it is April 2 and no reply on my email asking when the seeds will be shipped.

I suspect they don't have the seeds and I what they do send, if they ever send the order, will be junk or dead seeds marked with the name of seeds I ordered. I'd be really surprised if the seeds even sprout.

Looking back on the order process, the first sign of problems to come with Pacific Seed Bank should have been their payment method: buy a gift card thru a third party, sounds just like the scams you hear about on the internet.

Wow, sounds like they have really gone downhill I'm glad I decided to leave them for Nirvana. Got my eye on a few strains from Great Lakes Genetics breeders too.

I wish I'd found all this before I ordered from Pacific Seed Bank. I got my seeds relatively quick, but I'm questioning what I actually got.

I ordered Harlequin CBD fem, photoperiod. 6 weeks into my grow, under 24/7 lights, they are flowering.

Granted, they sprouted in less than 48 hrs, growing strong and look great... But WTAF did they send me?
