Legit how?
Will you get seeds? yes
Are they the best source for quality
Probably not

us seed banks are so expensive for no reason and I don't wanna buy 20-30 seeds at I time I can only grow 2 at a time
How is stateside better besides speed? Because it seems like the u.s seed banks are way over priced even for low end seeds but I've only grew a few times so I dont know the difference
If your usa id go with jamesbeanseeds they guarantee germination and have some good breeders too unless theres something from europe etc your after of course?
Lol give it time my friend buying seeds become as addictive as growing em in the end most people find that out for themselves eventually i for one have more seeds than i can proly grow in a lifetime i like having variety myself and theres still stuff i want ...

With just a few exceptions, you're looking at vastly better genetics on average coming from an American bank rather than herbies, since they are in deep with all the old Euro brands that have sort of fallen from grace. A lot of those places produced amazing plants in the 90s but let things slip. I used to always order from Attitude, and they would still be a good bet for you if you want to stick with the same breeders, but you won't regret trying one of the good American breeders. Heck, RIGHT NOW, today only, you can go to the Tiki Madman site, look for his "flag promotion" which is his large 3X5 flag, and it comes with a pack of testers and stickers all for $30! I doubt you will find better seeds anywhere for $30 AND get a pirate flag!! Yarrr

Aww, that sucks, I missed the last one but was up at 3 am this morning and suddenly remembered the promo was today.

My experience with herbies is great. My plants look to be doing awesome and they have shipped faster than any bank I've bought from before. A+
@Herbies Shop
And how does one find out about these promos beforehand?

I think the part that matters is if you want the testers, and who doesn't want a giant pirate flag?

Instagram, but I don't have Instagram so a VERY nice person here let me know the other day. Most of these breeders use Instagram for this kind of thing nowadays, I guess I should get onboard.

Linda Seeds is just awesome. The US growers and company sites like DC Seed Exchange, JBC Seeds, AK Bean Brains, Shoreline Genetics... reliable, great
Karma has some great stuff but I find him hard to deal with...
Really though, some of the best vendors I've dealt with are small timers on strainly.com

I'll vote for DC Seed Exchange too. You can order packs for really reasonable prices that produce great plants. There's plenty of more expensive choices there, but breeders like GuamMaineian Gardens, Brisco's Bargain Beans, Useful Seeds and Bob Bitchen's Beans sell 10 packs of regular seeds for as low as $39. There's some killer plants to be found in those guys genetics, just take a look on the seed and strain forum for their threads. They ship quickly and have killer customer service as well.
