SeedFinders NewsFlash

Welcome in the new year - and on our new server in the Netherlands! The move is almost finished and everything should work again - if not, please get in touch with us! But not only the server emigrated from Germany - the complete Seedfinder team (klaas) has moved - greetings from the sunny south of Tenerife! Now we are ready for a lots of nice updates, new options and changes - but more info later ;-) Up to this time: Have fun with the new server and see you later!

Recently we collect and store cannabinoid test (THC, THCA, CBD, CBG, THCV, CBC and CBN) for the different varieties of cannabis. This thin layer chromatography and gas chromatography tests have been provided by breeders and testing labs (user upload will follow soon) and allow us to integrate the major cannabinoids and acids in our search, comparison and sorting options. Furthermore, we can now also provide detailed profiles and comparisons for each variety. For the beginning we have only about 230 tests to approximately 80 strains in the database - but the main work is done and many more tests will be added soon!

A summary of the average values for all the tested strains (as well as some charts for the subspecies) can be found in our research area. If you like to search, filter and sort strains based on the test results - just use our Strain Wizard and it's possible filters and display options for cannabinoids! Furthermore you can find a short chart and some classifications (compared to other varieties) on the respective strain-info-page! You will see the box at the left side if there are any tests in the database - and also check out the link below this box to view the detailed profiles and test-results including pictures.

Here the most important links and an example for a detailes strain-test-profile:

Last week we updated our seedbank review area a little bit!

Btw... Also the upload area got a small update, you now are able to upload your reviews very simple - and without any registration at our pages! If you made any good or bad experiences with a seed order in the last time, please add your review here, its done in a minute and will help a lots of other growers worldwide! (The Review-Area is now also available in german, spanish and french!) And last but not least - if you are missing a shop in our list - no problem - simply upload the shop-info together with your review and we will add it to the list as soon as possible!

Because of a big database problem we've lost the data from around the last 3 months! If you have uploaded something in this time, please do it again, this would be very nice! (Maybe you also need to recreate your user-account!) I'm very very sorry for the hazzle and the stress and the time you have lost while adding your information - Sorry again! :( Btw... I was able to restore at least the strain-data and breeders as like as some shop-reviews and pictures from the memcache, so we are up to date again with the strains and the genetic info :)
