Pacific Seed Bank Seedbank-Rezension

Ordered through Pacific Seed bank, specifically Mendocino farms seeds. Popped 4 of supposed to be the same strain, feminized photo's but only 2 were even similar, 1 was an auto flower and the last one was a male. Didn't get any response back. Popped another 4 from same breeder, but different strain, all 4 were hermaphrodites with no signs of stress. （ no nanners, seeds sacks anything like that） my grow room is dialed and I've been growing for 25 years, so I know a little on how to grow this plant. Emailed them, got a response about sending all kinds of pictures and questions pointing towards grower error. Popped 5 more from same breeder, 1 male, 1 auto, 1 true hermi. I wished I had done a little research on this breeder and seed bank before I bought like 50 seeds from them. So inconsistent, Buyer beware. I only buy from directly from 3 breeders now. Who have good genetics and stand behind their product. Very expensive seeds, but don't cheap out on genetics growers. It's not worth the time and trouble.

Ordered 24 seeds, of those 4 popped, one was so weak it had no starter leaves .
Junk seeds from them, so don’t waste your money!!

I order 2 strains one was ok the other was a mutant messed up instead of 2 leaves was only 1 leaf and was 4 inches when other plant was 13 inches planted same day. I would never buy from them again when you sell seeds that are deformed, then I will shop at better seed places. There are some really great seed banks not trust these people. Wish I could add a photo to show you how messed up this plant is. You been warned use a better seed company.

I've ordered from Pacific several times since my state made it legal in 2021. I've ordered approximately 20 different strains over 4 orders. I've had Pacific answer questions using their live chat feature on their website, so that was cool. Prices are good and they carry a ton of strains. Shipping times are decent.

Have tried to grow 8 different strains of theirs so far, the rest are in cold storage. 6 of the 8 strains have all been successful, 2 strains had zero luck with. No complaints with the strains that were successful, all were healthy plants with decent production, and respectable THC % amounts （I test my buds THC using tCheck 2）. The seeds for the 2 strains that I had zero success with I believe were old seeds, had 3 seeds per strain, and none germinated. I did contact Pacific about that, hoping they would either replace them or refund my money. They never replied to my 2 emails regarding it.

So my opinion of Pacific is mixed. I still have quite a few different strains that I bought from them that I have yet to try to grow. I am hoping that I have good luck with most of them. Would I recommend Pacific to a friend? Yes, but I would tell them about all of my experiences and let them decide for themselves.

This is a seller seed were no good 2 out of 3 no good

the worst genetics I have ever had! DO NOT buy anything from them. Grew out 4 strains from 4 different breeders on their site. One plant was ok, the rest were compost. absolutely the worst. I will NEVER do business with them again.

Placed order for AK-48, Blue Dynamite, American Kush, and Fucking Incredible. All Autos. My first grow as well. They survived temps as low as 25 degrees, and are now 3/4 looking pretty good and 2 weeks from harvest.

Started a 2nd grow with same 4 strains. AK-48 did not make it past 1 week, but that was likely my error with new lights I was playing with. The other three are all huge at week 8, strong as I could hope for.

Already have a 2nd set of seeds from Pacific, just waiting until I have room to get them going...

I ordered 15 total seeds. 5 germinated. And other never did. They haven't even emailed me back. I wouldn't recommend. This place at all. Yes seeds were very small. I put all my seeds in water for 16 hrs. To tell if they are good. They always go to the bottom of cup. That's if they are good seeds. 65% of them floated. Which means they are junk. Disappointed and passed. Don't ever use these people.. dam worthless

This company has gone from good to worst I ever dealt with. Customer service is not even good, can't get responses. I was promised a refund 3 weeks ago and I have not received it. It's ridiculous they claim they refund money and they do not live up to their word. I'm disgusted with them their seeds are junk not even what they claim. I'm filing a report to the BBB on them after reading a lot of other people's reviews, not good either.

I bought 5 different strain’s and only 1 seed germinated but never made it was very pissed will never ever buy from again hundreds of dollars down the drain for crap seeds.

Medical grower in Colorado since 2008. I ordered 3 harlequin feminized seeds from PSB and they arrived in good time in quality packaging. 2 of the 3 germinated last one tried but turned itself upside down and sent the root into the air. 6 weeks later both that sprouted have no vigor and are auto flowering under a 17/7 light cycle. Pathetic 10-inch-tall plants still in vegetation no stager not even in pre flower and pistols with tiny buds forming Who knows what strain they are. Total waste of time and medium. Do Not Use This Company! There are at least 2 companies located in the U.S.A. that are excellent. Initials AG and SS both are awesome every time and SS has way more selection. AG has real deal old school genetics.

I bought seeds from them a few months ago and their seed quality is the poorest I’ve ever had. I bought 3 seeds and the two were absolutely horrid, scrawny looking things that should never be sent to customers. Surprise, surprise they didn’t germinate! BTW my seed germination rate has been 100% for like 20+ years as long as the seeds look even half way decent. They refuse to send replacements without additional funds even though it’s their own poor business practices that created the situation. In addition to my original order, I was sent three free seeds. I was asked what type I wanted and confirmed I wanted photoperiod fems. They sent me autoflowers. They plants started showing pistols on the nodes and cola after 5 weeks at 24 hour of light. The short of it is, they’re not worth dealing with especially with so many better options. Avoid like the plague.

DO NOT RECOMMEND
I purchased 9 seeds from Pacific Seed Bank in October 2022. All AutoFems as I had planned to grow only 2-3 plants at a time. Results were disappointing at best.
I am not a beginner as I have 3 successful grows previous..
Seeds were pale, small and turned out inferior. First three （grapefruit OG） only 1 germinated with tail, however this produced a small micro plant that grew no larger than my thumbnail.. other two cracked open, but no germination..
Second set of three seeds were Cactus AF,, no germination at all, two cracked open but no tail, third one just sank right away and did not even crack open.. Third set of 3 seeds are Cactus AF, and I had all three germinate and got them in soil.. However after about 8 days, small plants that have NOT generated second set of leaves.. Staying small , wimpy plants. I suspect inferior seed quality .. I am growing in a loam soil mixture that I have successfully used previous, with a 1000 watt MARS Hydro led grow light.. Watching PH levels for well- water being used , etc. as I have grown in the past..
Their “germination guarantee is only for 60 days, so really did me no good. With long shipping time, final set up of grow, etc the “guarantee” was worthless.. They state if less than � percent germinate, they will replace.. BUT I would have to germinate all my seeds at once to see if I get this germination rate. I was only planning on growing 2-3 at once as I am small at home grower.. by the time I tried first seeds, they failed, I tried second set of seeds, they failed, NOW the 60 day guarantee was useless… All I can say is I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND PACIFIC SEED BANK

So, I've ordered from Pacific Seed Bank twice now, once this year and once in 2021. In 2021 I ordered seeds 5 different strains, and successfully germinated all of the seeds that I decided to try, they all popped with no problems... grew healthy plants. The shipping time was bad, but then again COVID-19 was in full swing so everyone's shipping times were bad. So, no real problems in my book. Fast-forward to 2022... shipping time was much better. Again, I had no issues with the 4 strains I ordered... got everything I was supposed to and all of the seeds that I germinated have become nice seedlings so far. From what I understand, Pacific Seed Bank used to have quite a few issues. Everything from slow shipping, missing seeds, and the wrong seeds... to poor quality customer service, seeds and germination issues. My guess is they have improved over time and have ironed out a lot of their issues. I doubt they are perfect, but I have yet to have any problems with the 2 times I have ordered from them. I will order from them again, I am sure.

I've ordered from these guys maybe 6 times in the last 3 years. I always get what I order, shipping is a little slow, sucks they only give freebies if you pay by mail. I think they've recently updated payment methods, now they take cc or zelle, etc. i've called them in the past - live customer service is a major perk. What seedbanks have that? Very few. I have not grown out any of the seeds. I have many many seeds and I just don't have time but the seeds all look the same and the breeder packs have made up names. I wish someone with knowledge would grow out a bunch of strains and establish whether or not they are what they're being sold as. If they're legit strains, this is a good, not great, place to get some great strains.

Stay far away, do not support/order from them, Pacific Seed Bank is a total scam company! Website sucks you in with its layout, strains available and great strain reviews. However it appears that seed stock never runs out, seed breeders are bogus names with no other info available elsewhere, somehow all seed breeders tie back to Pacific Seed Bank, customer service is abysmal and more importantly you have no idea what you are growing.
Ordered （all feminized photoperiod） DJ Short Blueberry, Forbidden Fruit, Blueberry CBD and Suzy Q CBD on 02/13/21. After 3 weeks of waiting I called PSB repeatedly, finally got CS and the person told me he has no idea when it will be shipped, that eventually someone will take it to Sacramento, CA to mail it. Beginning of April, 6 weeks after the initial order a package arrived with all the seeds marked but strangely packed in identical containers.
All seeds germinated, however, Blueberry CBD and Suzy Q CBD all turned out to be autoflowers so not sure what they really were; they had very little aroma and looked very similar to each other. The Forbidden Fruit and Blueberry were photo fems but also had very little aroma in the flowering cycle. I have grown both of these strains （FF and BB） multiple times before and these were unrecognizable. They did have typical hybrid structure but the buds were relatively small and again the relative absence of familiar terpenes would suggest that these also were not what they were marketed as.
In the end, rather than throwing everything away I donated all the plant material for someone else's salve production.

So I ordered from these guys in 2020.. got six or so strains. Great that you can by as little as 3 seeds of any particular strain. I didn't immediately notice that the growers logos do not corroborate with actual seed companies. Seems kind of odd. I had some hesitations and so I called the 800 number. Maybe twice. Both times I got someone who answered most of my questions. I never grew any of the seeds except one Trinity - the seed was extremely aggressive with a large tap root and I accidently broke it in the transplant. I ordered more seeds in Nov or 2021, and now again in early January of 2022. The first batch came quickly, and the second one is moving at a good speed also via tracking statistics. I'd recommend all of it except for whatever they're actually selling. Not to say the seeds aren't what they say they are, but its the one part of the deal that seems shady... lets hope one day they're cleared from being potential fakes.

I had heard of Canadian genetics named Freezeland from friends. I searched on google and landed on your site. After reading the negative reviews on Google and other sites, I decided to try your seeds anyway. The seeds arrived by post in normal time. I found a few seeds a bit small. All the seeds have grown into beautiful plants. I am satisfied with the quantity and the quality of the Freezeland. As I write, the plants are drying out and I will be consuming them soon. I am satisfied with the product. Why am I giving 4 stars and not 5. Because you do not have a good reputation on referral sites and that does not give consumers confidence and I found the seeds to be a bit smaller.

Received two seed packs from this company as a gift. Cultivars included "Puna Budder Autoflower" and "Cat Piss", two of my favorites. Seeds were delivered in under a week. However I can't get any details on genetics here, and Pacific won't give you any. I can't find any information on the breeder/seed companies on the packages either. I will be running the auto's soon, but I fear that they won't be the same.

The Jillybean seeds I ordered from Pacific had a paltry 20% germination rate with the paper towel method. Other vendors' seeds worked fine.

Customer service wouldn't answer very basic questions about the parentage of the seeds, even when pressed. This makes me suspect that something is up here. Jillybean is a strain from a small breeder, and Pacific isn't one of their officially approved vendors. So now I'm not even sure this is the right strain, much less what generation it is.

Oh yeah, and Pacific waited 10 days before they even bothered putting my order in the mail. The Shipping & Delivery section of the website says "Shipments will arrive within 5 to 7 business days." However, when I emailed customer service, they changed the story: "It can take 5-10 business days to drop off the order at the USPS facility."

Seeds are an investment. I'm going to do better research in the future so I don't waste money and time on sketchy stuff like this.

I ordered a total of 6 strains from them, they were all autoflowering types. I don't trust them enough to get a replacement. Horrible horrible experience

Never have I encountered worse customer service - anywhere. My email inquiring about my extremely late order was actually mocked!

I think they're a scam.
Ordered in March and still waiting for 6 seeds. On my second mailing label to USPS which still hasn't received the package. Several emails, an online chat and calls to customer service, and all have different explanations. None can tell me when my product will ship.

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. Here it is 18 days later, no response from my last email asking when they are going to process the order.

I suspect they don't have the seeds and 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.

Professional packaging and only 5 Day delivery!!

I got a order no.sent a postal money order for that amount waited 2weeks called they said the order no. Did not match so they created a new order no.was waiting to recieve money order.3 weeks later they said the same thing called the usps they said the money order was cashed 2 weeks ago after 3 calls and emails they said they had no record of it. It will cost me 5 dollars at USPS to get a receipt for them to prove they cashed it.Do not use this seed bank !!!!!

Slow as a snail to receive seeds but the freebies turned out better than the purchase.
I’m only a 2 hour drive in Commiefornia but seeds took 3 weeks to arrive.
Great quality seeds all popped and produced

Ordered White Widow auto a month ago, never shipped, no replies to email. Total fraud, stay away !!

So .... I am not sure what to think about these guys. Was waiting to sample first strain before commenting.

The order/delivery process was NOT smooth. It took them ~ 3 weeks to confirm - after contacting their customer service. They then took another 2-3 weeks to deliver （to Las Vegas - I had already gone home）.
They did send exactly what was ordered. All of the seeds came in the same sized packaging of different colours and brands （which I thought was suspicious - most seed banks send in original packaging from growers - which is never all the same）.

I have so far tried 1/4 strains ordered - Lamb's Bread （have never been able to find feminized seeds of this strain before）. The initial plant was quite scrawny/droopy so didn't flower, but cloned. One of the clones was a much stronger plant, so did take it to flower. That plant, grown with mainline technique, stayed quite short compared to other strains （lamb's bread is tall?）, but grew many medium-sized airy colas, smelling strongly of lemon. The smoke is easy and strong - a very nice sativa. I cannot complain about the quality. Is it truly Lamb's Bread （or possibly a cross of it）? Hard to say.

Am planning to grow another of their strains. Am curious to see if it will be same or different, as it is also a Sativa.

Don't buy from these people.

I ordered over $300 worth of seeds from Pacific Seed Bank and they shortchanged me on 1 order. When I contacted them by email about it, they said this:

Thank you for reaching out to us. Your inquiry has been placed in priority sequence and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
Please bear with us during this pandemic and the busy growing season from March to July. We are working diligently to make sure every inquiry is
responded to in a timely manner. We appreciate
your patience and understanding during this
difficult time. And We look forward to serving you
in the near future.

But the order was placed on August 4th, fulfilled on Aug 11 （a full week later!） and received on Aug 21. It now October 1st and I have't heard a word from them.

Not only that but the 1st five seeds I planted failed to germinate at all. Meanwhile the same technique germinated 10 other strains from Nirvana Shop.

Use this company if you want problems and to have to chase after your money or product.

Literally the worst company to deal with in my opinion. I would highly advise not buying from them, and if you don't believe me good their company reviews and read the comments. I'm still trying to get my money back for weeks. They never answer their phone, ignore emails, and their chat keeps saying they will send it or it's been sent but i received nothing. The worst, i don't know how they expect to stay in business treating their customers this way.

This is a WARNING. This is a con job. The seeds are duds and NOT what they say!!! These breeders do not exist !!! I know , been growing and buying and leaving reviews for years. Stay away, you have been warned.

Made 3 seperate orders. 80% of the seeds did not germ or germinated and died at day 3. Of the seeds that were successful: I have 2 strains that I managed to nurture start to almost harvest （Michigan）. The plants look 100% different from leaf type to flower. I have no idea what I'm growing.
I contacted customer service several times. They finally agreed to replace seeds bit when they sent me the invoice they were replacing one 3 pack of a single strain. Ummmm, no. So that was months ago and they have never answered any of my emails asking for clarification.
I will NEVER buy from Pacific Seedbank again. They are a JOKE.

After 30 days I inquired about my order via email. They don’t respond to emails other than acknowledging receipt of email via auto response. I got scammed and ripped off . Stay away from these jerks

Took nearly 8 weeks to deliver, missed the growing season. Almost half my seeds didn't germinate, they wanted to charge shipping again （but more expensive this time） for the germination guarantee. Not worth the time

In January, I ordered J-1 seeds from Pacific Seed Bank. J-1 is a sativa dominant hybrid. On May 1 I germinated three of those seeds from one packet. Earwigs took one seedling, so I planted one seed from a second packet.

In mid June, two of the three plants revealed themselves to be autoflowers that didn't even resemble each other. The third plant is an obvious sativa at 6' tall but it's not a J-1. So neither of the packets contained the strain I ordered, no did they even contain the same strain between them. Random bag seeds.

I have received no reply from the seed bank to multiple emails since mid June. They do have time to send out marketing emails and tweets, though.

This represents 1/2 of my legal garden in California that usually produces all I need for a year. Half of my garden.

Pacific Seed Bank is a fraud.

Order placed on 4/21/2020. I was informed via email that a shipping label was created on 5/11/2020.
I have attempted to contact customer service multiple times, via email, the online chat and Instagram. I seem to get the same response each time, a pretyped email, saying alot of nothing.
I then received and email on 6/8/2020 telling me that the seeds will be arriving tomorrow. I am now 2 days later and still no seeds, no package, no person actually calling me up and discussing with me.
I have tried to cancel my order and was informed via email that they cant cancel an order once a shipping label is produced. That I can return the seeds when i receive them and they will give me a refund.
I trully believe that this is a huge scam. Additionally, I have attempted to reach out to all the "breeders" that they work with. None of those breeders exist, or if they do exist, they have no online information at all.

Quick to take your money and slow to send your seeds. E-mail support@pacificseedbank and there is no response. Online chat is prompt and [email protected] does what she can it seems. My first order took exactly 30 days to arrive and shipping is $9.99. 2 of 6 seeds did not germinate. I tried again since I would be sent replacements according to their guarantee. Ordered on 4/28/20 and I’m still waiting on 5/19/20. Seeds are coming from Sacramento area to AZ. Not one free seed for the wait. Two other orders from different seed banks delivered in 4 days and 7 days both with freebies.

Fake trash genetics from china.
Made up breeder names, wont answer questions in IG responds with B.S.

bin sehr zufrieden. klasse service , einfache bestellung auch durch die vorkasse. wende mich jederzeit wieder gerne an euch!

I ordered a pack of 5 seeds on 4/7/20 and was required to pay via the Zelle app. My money was accepted immediately and an email was generated to me saying as much. In the email it told me that my order was being processed and I would receive a second email when packaging began, and a third email upon shipping including a tracking number. The process was quoted at 1-3 business days. Then shipping could take an additional 5-10 days.

I know things are slow with everyone due to COVID-19, but my issue comes with their customer service. I have sent 3 emails, placed 2 phone calls with messages left on a machine, and started multiple “chats” with absolutely no communication in return. If someone would just answer my question about when my order should be shipped, I would be more confident. As of right now, I feel as though I may have been scammed due to lack of customer service. I have an account set up through PSB and my dashboard shows my order, but it has sat in the same status since payment was accepted. I will update if/when seeds send.
