Just ordered my beans Saturday and they came today! Shipping was fast I couldve even got them subday if the post office wasn't closed but I do only live 45 mins from D.C. I'm loving all the freebies and the free pack of copper orgi from brisco county genetics but would love to get more information and pictures of the strain.

If you haven't subscribed already, the latest DCSE newsletter is pretty cool, and announces a new stocked fem strain by my amigo @Useful....among some other items.
Yea, saw they rounded up a couple more this week. Must be something about their honest faces at DCSE, you guys keep trusting them. Their growth is really startling and amazing to see, the the weed business is booming like the internet all over again.
Missed out on your beans, Amos but knew that mug the second I saw it.

Got a nice catch last week, some Vanilla Rose to hatch out this winter.
Just can't ask for better packaging service and delivery. Everything is taped and sealed just right with tracking, and always some bling.

I really like DC seed exchange.
Its U.S. based. its fast.
They take paypal. website was until about a month ago easy to navigate. I have ordered 2 or 3 times. 2 weeks left for gorilla glue#4 and its survived me. . First vial of gg4 all popped. second vial of 5, none did. Fairly new to this so not sure if its me or bad batch. Due to limited plant count and space I only buy fems. cant take a 50/50 bet.

2 problems with them
***is I cant go on a site like leafly. to search for strains by conditions. for instance I have glaucoma another family member has ADHD. I want to find a strain that is high THC that helps both conditions. Also I want a strain that helps pain for sleeping (bad back pain).
***Second problem the freebies I APPRIECIATE. but please have them marked fem or regular.
just threw Thor (whitelightningx trainwreck) in the soil.. but doesn't say reg or fem)
….. I may have missed instructions on your site as to if freebies are reg or fem by default.....

Because of the last vial of gg4 did not pop and i had no more fem seeds. I also needed to throw more in soil quick. AND not having a way to search for conditions I went with attitude this time. because they had atomical haze/granddaddypurple. Strains I could search for. by condition.... really hoping granddaddypurple helps with that. those seeds wont arrive in time so I have to run 50 percent fems and 50 percent regular seeds and hope.

I have, I would, and will buy from DC seed exchange again.
database idea is probably not reasonable.

Thank you for your feedback. All great points! It is widely recognized that unless otherwise stated seeds are regular, but we will work to improve on these issues for your next donation. :peace:

Majority of the strains available nowadays are polys so you're getting a lot of variation in phenos. So even though a seedbank may say "this is good for x" or "this is good for y" you may find only a portion of the seeds actually help with what they're listed as. For example, you may get a "sativa" leaner and a more "indica" pheno right next to each other out of the same pack that have different medicinal effects. That's why I actually think its BS when seedbanks do that.

I tend to agree with you especially on the variations within F1 poly-hybrids. You also get into some issues with HIPA and not being a doctor, etc. Some breeders such as DJ Short breed for "effect" to help with specific issues like anxiety (Blue Heaven comes to mind) or PTSD for example. We do include that information from the breeders in the strain descriptions so people can use the search feature to find those particular strains, but DCSE itself does not make those recommendations or claims. We work with a lot of vets and in my experience each one if different. I've got a vet buddy who wouldn't smoke "sativas" due to his PTSD and anxiety. I then introduced him to a C99 cross from Green Work Seeds and now he can't get enough sativa strains in his life and has never felt better. I am afraid unfortunately at this point in time all we have is anecdotal evidence along with trial and error which is why I try to encourage people to review their strains on our website to help other growers in selecting their beans.

So do I have to just order every strain or just about any seed and hope I get lucky that it might help with the effects I am looking for?
im confused. Are you telling me sites like leafly are useless for helping find strains to help with medical issues? or are you telling me that they only TEND to steer you in the right direction. But growing stress... individual genetic variation.... or individual body makeup….. will tend to impact the effects also?

how do I choose a strain/strains for glaucoma/depression/ADHD/backpain?
I love pot, so im not gonna complain as long as its decent weed.
however each grow takes my most valuable resource...Time.
I would like to get a strain that gets me decently stoned AND is decent for medical effects same time.

What can I say, DCSE is as awesome as they say.
Made an impluse buy with Amos Otis' (Brisco Beans) Sweet Dixie last night. Suffice to say that I made the right call cuz all 5 remaining packs were sold out by morning. BBB has some straight fire mamas (FPOG cross, orgi) and Amos is such a cool, experienced dude, I think everyone should try to jump on a pack before they're all gone :)

Man, I'd sure rather be over valued than under. :cool: Thanks for your support of DCSE;s vet day sale. I just posted pics of my sweet dixies in the chuckers paradise thread. I hope you have some great ladies in your future. I much appreciate your kind words.

It takes time and research dude. The best strain for my depression and back pain may not be the same as yours or anything close. Me personally I stay away from Leafly. From what I’ve read they compile information on strains for another company that is Basically run by the government. Screw them. Some things you just have to look up on your own. Shoot Paul an email, he’s more than happy to help. That’s what we’re all here for. I would check out some strains that are higher in cbd based off what you’ve written. We’re dealing with genetics of plants, different growing styles and environments, there’s a lot of things to take into consideration. Your definitely in the right spot at riu, and an even better seedbank that’s US based.
