To Well-Known Members: is this breeder list close?

I've been reading several forums that appear to be sufficiently active to reflect current conditions in the seed buy game. RIU is the best, though IC and GrassCity are pretty decent, too. It's hard for a noob to discern wazzup as there are diffs of opinion and trolls who can be competitors to the breeders can easily dump trash. I've tried to cull and go with well-known faves in this list of breeders (NOT distributors).

Plz tell me if there's any here you'd drop, any too obscure or somebody vital that I've missed. (I know such lists can't be perfect and are subject to change over time). One last note: the number of asterisks generally reflect a lot of forum respect, in this list.

Karma Genetics (NL)****
HortiLab (NL)***
Exotic Genetix (UK)**
Cabin Fever (US)***
Rare Dankness Seeds (US)***
Greenpoint Seeds (US)**
RedEyed Genetics (WA)**
Reserva Privada (US)***
Archive Seed Bank (US)***
GreenBeanz Seeds (unsure of location)
TGA Subcool Seeds: (OR)**
Mr.Nice (SP or SW?)***

Those folks have websites, above.

Siteless Breeders (as near as I can tell), with good reps, include Bodhi, Loompa Farms, OGraskal, TopDawg.

I'm sure my list is way too short, but I'd like to get your feedback and to hear echoes of that feedback so I'll know that several agree on any changes. Thanx!

I meant to have Mandala seeds in that list, too.

about a pound

Dude... This, what? What are you trying to do?

I'm thinking he's asking if he were a bean distributor is this a good list of what to stock. Am I correct?

If so the list looks pretty good minus TGA. IMVHO out of place with the rest of the list.

Then I'd give RD and MNS the axe next.... But pretty nice list.

Yeah, I was close to dropping TGA (and have done so now). I read a lot of old threads elsewhere where he seemed pretty popular before he imploded his rep. I was on the fence with RD, too. Hadn't heard anything so bad about MNS other than the split that Arjan tried to capitalize from without the degree of quality that MNS continued with after.

And I know there's no way I can be all-inclusive, but is there anyone off the top of your heads that I might wanna add to the list? My goal is to find a short list of breeder stock to look for at the retailers, for sale or as freebies. All I'll need to go shopping then will be my car keys and a serious case of the munchies.

Illuminati, pisces, Connoisseur would all be good bets IMO.

Thanks, added MotaRebel, too. Couldn't find a site for any of your three, but I see some retailers that carry PG and CG..

regardless of wether or not his rep is good or bad the man has some solid genes in his stable even if he wasnt the one to breed or stabalize them.

It's a joke to use the word "stabilize" in the same sentence as "TGA Seeds." I have had a couple of good plants from TGA, but the results are all over the map. As far as the list, I'd add Humboldt simply from the exceptional results I had from their Bubba Kush.

Bodhi for sure. Dynasty is another one that seems to have a good reputation, and the CCK I'm growing of theirs looks really good so far. Sin City is another one to look at, and I'd also consider some of Sannies lines as well.

DNA/Reserva Privada - Elemental- Og Rascal- INDOOR/OUTDOOR
HSO for my outdoor Although Dinafem is good for the price also

I'm trying to add and organize. I get the impression Dynasty is out in Oregon, si? (and it looks like they try to keep vendors honest). I added Humboldt, from Spain, I already had Reserva Privada, and Sannie's and OG Raskal.

I'm guessing Sin City is from Vegas (or is it SoCal?) Elemental looks like Calif. Dinafem is Spain? DNA Genetics is clearly NL.

Thanks, guys!

I also added Jordan of the Islands, from Canada

My list is getting pretty long now, with 20 I classify as seed BREEDERS (though a few sell direct) and 35 Retailers (though some of them breed, too.).

just from checking prices, I think Seedsman and Original Sensible Seed are pretty inexpensive. And I added the Single Seed Centre as I like the idea of ordering smaller packets at times.

Btw, has anyone used http://seedscanner.com/ ? It locates multiple sources and shows their prices if you're seeking a particular strain. I know strains can vary considerably, but

World of Seeds, Ace Seeds and the Real Seed Company advertise a number of original or close to it ... landrace strains. Have any of you tried any?

If you really like RIU, you must try Breeders Boutique.

The asterisks kinda indicate which ones get the most mentions here and at two other site forums, so a lot of asterisks means I look for them first.

@Cowboy Kahlil what are you trying to accomplish with your lists? Are you just bored? Trying to figure out reputable seedbanks or breeders? Are you planning on opening a seedbank?

I ask because it seems like you are putting in alot of work/effort into what ever you are doing, and I think you will get alot more answers/info/feedback from more members here if you go a bit more in detail into what your overall goals are for this thread.
