JOTI has been phenomenal, germination has been unparalled so far.

I picked up the blueberry seeds from Joey weed and was pretty disappointed. Out of ten seeds, none had any berry flavour. They were pretty inexpensive, but I was really looking forward to finding a blueberry pheno.
On the positive side they were pretty nice to grow, and the finished product was not too bad.
If you’re looking for some really cool crosses, check out Bean Hoarder at Hemp Depot. Definitely worth it,

JOTI blueberry is really good, decent price and throws a good variety of phenos. He'll give you lots of freebies too.

I popped a pack of Sensi Star beans from JOI a few years ago. I think I had 10 or so, ended up with 4-5 females. Picked one to flower out in a small 3’ x 3’ cab. It was some of the best pot I’ve ever had. Wish I took a cut but didn’t really have the right set up back then. Just ordered a new pack, hope to find a similar pheno it really was an incredible plant, and tasted more like mint cookies than any GSC I’ve ever had

If you are looking at good price/genetics, I can recommend https://www.highgrade-seeds.com/
Canadian and free shipping in NA.
My favourite strain from them is the GG#4, dense, good high and one pheno turned out white.

@VILEPLUME This seed bank does NOT list the breeders which raise big arse red flags! No thanks!
Yeah,I checked the site out.
Definitely looks shady to me...

I have to agree 100% with this, I've used his blueberry seeds before and they were awesome. Grew well indoors in the hydro and I put some clones outside last year and they did great outdoors. Had to cut them early at the end of Sept because we had over a foot of snow.
I just ordered and received my order from vancouver seed bank for hash plant seeds and the transaction was fine even though im not the biggest fan of sending emts. So I guess they're legit, even though it was better when they had an actual store I could go to.

Any world wide shipper will o fine Attitude seedbank has been around for a long time always done great job and never sends bunk and does alot of singles when most wont. Also Choice seedbank is basically their sister site but works well world wide no issues and pretty quick shipping about 10-14days since there over seas but I don't get scared with reputable over seas companies like Supreme Seedbank too is legit and Oregon Elite seeds is extremely legit super fast shipping I think in Ca too but just Google world wide seedbanks they will give you the best ones and there's plenty of reviews on the top 5 for guaranteed quality & shipping anywhere in the . I think Midweek Song does world wide also and is extremely legit and very fast shipping no playing they get it to ya in about a week same with Oregon Elite seeds granted these aren't the easiest to find everything your after because they do such a good job everyone uses them.

You know I'm not sure about true North but I think so I tried to look at them a few weeks back but I never used them tbh but have you Messaged the IG account for truenorth to see whats up if he responds or not? You don't have an order with them do ya ? If so Id be on Ig Dm them pretty hard but with a good attitude of course even though you have a right to be upset it wouldn't be helpful of course we catch more bees with honey

Im not on IG.
Have read a bunch of bad reviews on them since my past order, just wondering if that is actually the case, or just haters hating.

Like I said I don't know for True North but what is it your looking for which strain I can probably help u with a company or a bank that I know? I just hate sharing my jewls they are hard to come by these days without everyone wanting to blow them up and tell the world which I did enough of in years before and helped out too much lol but these few I told you about always try to make whatever problem right and have great selection plus have amazing freebees and get the goods to you even during the covid holidays so if they get lost or siezed 9/10times they'll resend more as long as u don't loose your cool in emails or something they'd rather you be happy and post good news then bad it definitely hurts them cause what we say and talk about really matters on RIU this is one of the main platforms used from Google searchers asking these questions. I'd say Oregon Elite seeds is one of the best right now but hard to get what your after u prob know that by now same with Neptune and I believe both ship world wide now . But my main jewel I know will make it to you fast with awesome selection is Insane seeds they are your best bet right now they have the newest fire with the best deals and are extremely quick guaranteed shipping world wide with stoopid fire freebees and so much more. I hate even saying that one on here tbh its one of my crown jewls but now its starting to sell out faster so alot of growers know insane hes smart about who he chooses to work with but ya they have the best deals when they have them its random so u won't even know it that strain might go on sale for a few days you were looking at yesterday I've had it happen to me no reason why hell just do it and then I just bought it for full price the day before one time lol but I've made a handfull of purchases through them . They have one of the best Cult Classics selections and Envy genetix selections granted hes got everyone thats hot tbh but alot of the super hot ones like Compound granted hes got compounds stuff too but every now and then his price will be higher but very rarely the crazy sought after stuff just sold out a week or so ago with Thanksgiving granted there's a bunch more reposted like Envy Genetix if you don't know about them go take a serious look you will guaranteed have the best fat healthy viable seeds I guarantee in his packs all are gonna germ and give you Fire like his Jacky Moon Tropicana Cookies x CaliSunset or Blowpops lol I forget he has a handful with both males Blow Pops is Private Reserve Og x Sunset Sherbert and ClaiSunset is special pheno of BlowPops I believe or a BX of sherb dom Blowpops Male to Sunset Sherb basically is Cali Sunset and its bad Assss I don't have any skin in the game lol I just luv the guys stuff and one time had a very small issue with one pack reached out to him not only did he send me newer ones of that cross guaranteed to be better but he sent me 2 full packs of his Booger Sugar and Tropical Popsicle with A1 beans inside them so I couldn't say enough good about the breeder as a person and a solid breeder he's got all kinds of hotness like Gelatti x Blowpops =Crumbs & Runtz x Blowpops =Lickz but on Insane seeds sometimes people won't pay for an order so something random will pop back up and just be 1 so u have to keep a look out on his site its the best one I can give you right now tbh I would guarantee him he's gave me 2 sweet deals so far I was more then pleased with and good freebees like 80 breeders or something I think maybe more hes growing every week and really has an amazing site he has a Forums section that rivals this one for real its a special seedbank I've never seen anything like it ever and he's got apparell on a separate section but got qlot to offer the canna community tbh.

True North: I ordered from them a few times. They're a little hit or miss for speed, one order took a month, another took 2 days. But I got my seeds, some good freebies, and they have regular sales.
Canuk seeds is their in house brand, and some of the lineages listed are questionable. For example, Amnesia auto should at least have an Amnesia photoperiod in there somewhere, not White Russian crossed with Lowryder #2. (They may have changed that one since then)
Some people have complained that Canuk seeds are crap, but the plants I have grown from them were pretty good, and they seemed to be the strains I ordered.
Pacific seedbank: I ordered from there once. Got the seeds within a reasonable amount of time, although it took them a while to process my payment. Then it took a while for them to print a label, and then a while to actually send it. No freebies. Seeds seem to be what I ordered. Mailed from within Canada, but I'm not entirely sure where they're based.
Crop King: Blueberry was...good. Not great. Was definitely Blueberry though. Other strains were weed. Shipping was within standard mailing times. No freebies.
I haven't ordered from any of the others listed so far yet. While they're still relatively small as far as I can tell, I have only heard good things about JOTI and Dr Seeds, and considering how quick and far bad news spreads, especially on sites like this one, that's saying something. I will be looking at them next time I order seeds. Won't be for a while though, I have seeds for a decade or so stored away, not counting some of my own crosses, and accidental pollination from neighbours.
Hope that helps.
Don't know why there isn't a sticky for Canadian seed banks. Probably has something to do with advertising.

True North is fine, nothing changed as far as I know. They respond to emails faster than any other seedbank in my experience this year. I like them because they have delivery insurance, and they carry a TON of Ace Seeds varieties that other banks don't-limited editions and breeders packs n'stuffs. BUT....dun dun DUN...they are pricey. Attitude is totally professional and reliable, Sensible Seeds is too (and the cheapest for the common euro breeders), and Seedsman is fine too, but got too big for their britches and now take forever.

Found these guys they got good reviews and are strictly Canadian bankhttps://www.canadaseedz.ca they have a good selection of Archive seeds and to be honest I would Not Ever wast my precious time with most Canadian breeders not saying yall suck but the American breeders got you covered with the read deal stuff. I would pay the extra with Archive maybe get their fems if u can afford the higher priced stuff they have excellent fems but their genetics aren't half ass or anything close to iffy. They have the best Og crosses hands down and the Dosido or the Moonbow crosses which I recommend strongly but don't cheap out and try to save money when it comes to genetics spend a little extra with these higher priced genetics there's a reason because your going to get their love and hard work that will bless you with at least 1 but typically multiple keepers per pack.

https://www.canadaseedz.ca Has a lot bad reviews on IG. The selection is awesome, The customer service is garbage. You can't buy seeds from another bank or he will block you from his site and IG, You can't repost anything from other seeds banks because he will block you, He hardly ever sends freebies even thought the seed breeders say they gave him freebies to give away, and he goes around reporting other Canadian Seeds banks. He has paid people to report accounts until they have been banned on IG. and FYI If you have ever ordered from https://www.canadaseedz.ca your personal info was sold is and is now online (Your name address email and payment mention)
