Are there any USA based seedbanks that carry World of Seeds seeds?

Can be hit or miss with World of Seeds. None of the most recently acquired Afghan Kush would sprout (from over 20), but all 7 of the Afghan Kush Early Harvest sprouted. I've never been able to germinate any of their Kilimanjaro, tried 3 times with over 50 seeds. Zip. Kwazulu sprouts and grows Great, so does the Wild Thai. Strawberry Blue sprouts healthy too.

Well after hearing this I don't think I'd be willing to buy anything from world of seeds.

Their Neville's Ryder is a bad Bitch for an Auto. Never had problems with it sprouting. Will soak 5 tonight and update in a few days.

With so many killer options in the USA and being able to pay with credit card why would waste your time popping old seeds / mids?

These are brand new. I just bought them a couple weeks ago.

I've had no problems at all with seed cellar

I have a fresh pack of these right now. Maybe I'll try those next.

It's too bad this happens. I understand growing from any seed, auto or photo has a certain amount of success. One seed pops and it great. The next seed pops, but it too weak to finish. The third doesn't pop at all. That's what pheno hunting is about. However, with autos, the undesirable trait of not liking transplanting or up potting is unfortunate because it takes a lot more space. Space that I do not have.

So, I am going to be starting the rest of my WOS autos in solo cups. I am experimenting with a method using 2 cups. The inside cup is bottomless and split down the side. The second cup holds it together until transplant time. When it comes time to transplant, I can pull off cup #2 and set the entire cup #1 into the ground and just slide the cup off. This is about a minimal root disturbance as I can imagine. Worth a try.

On another good note, all this new auto and seed stuff I am being forced into is providing me an opportunity to play with a ton of new varieties. I have one growing now (Zour Apples from Seed Cellar) that has single fingered leaves coming out of the biggest fucking cola I have seen yet on an auto. So, every dark cloud has an opposite side.

I agree. The Zour Apples I just described above was a freebe from them on my last order.

How is there wild thai?

 

[FletchF.Fletch]

The Wild Thai is very nice. Here are some lowers on a stump from an indoor grown Hydro plant.

Here is a shot of that Zour Apples from Seed Cellar. Odd looking compared to what I'm used to. Starting to get frosty. About week 8 right now.

Thanks! I’ve seen a few other companies reselling WOS wild thai reproductions, might be one of there more popular strains.

100 % germination from Neville's Haze Ryder.

 

[Ringodoggie]

I put a Neville Haze Ryder in dirt 7 days ago and it finally came up today. Looks dark colored and weak. I planted a Sweet Seeds Caramel Cream the same day and it came up in 3 days and is already working on it's second set of leaves.

I must say, this batch of World of Seeds genetics sux a giant donkey dick. And, they came from 2 or 3 different seedbanks. What the fuck is up with that? Definitely my last run of WoS genetics. I have a super strong WoS Afghan but it's all stems. The fucking trunk looks like a Redwood but there are no leaves and buds only at the ends. There is one really nice WoS Sweet Coffee Ryder. Since that was my main quest, I am pretty happy with that. I planted another WoS Neville Haze when the first one didn't sprout. So, maybe that one will come up stronger in a few days.

I harvested a CannaGenetics Farm Northern Lights auto yesterday. Damn, I'll bet this fucker is 4+ ounces when it's dry. Nice buds. One main cola and 4 or 5 real nice secondary colas. If all auto's were like this, it wouldn't be so bad. I harvested an auto a couple weeks ago that barely weighed an ounce. That's not worth 10 weeks and the space in my tent. I get at least 2 or 3 ounces from any photo plant I ever grew.

On the good side, I will have 20 or more strains under my belt in no time so it's nice to have the variety.

Wild Thai were my favourite from WOS. Some variation but there are some amazing Sativa phenos. I found a wispy one that gave thin buds. Completely covered in resin. Tasted of orange liquor and gave otherworldly effects. Massive mind expansion. Shit yield though so didn’t last long.

 

[Ringodoggie]

Another World of Seeds sad story. That weak sprout is dying. Another WoS Neville Haze is still not up after 7 days. I don't expect it to sprout.

Everything else in my stable is doing just fine. A couple of the WoS plants are doing OK but most of the WoS seeds never sprouted and the ones that did were weak and died off. Like I said, ALL the other seeds from other breeders are sprouting and growing just fine. So, I don't think it's anything I am doing. The odd thing is, I got these seeds from more than one seedbank.

@FletchF.Fletch ... Did your WoS Neville Haze Ryder come in an envelope with a tapered plastic tube (centrifugal tube) inside the envelope? Or, did they come in a straight plastic tube slid into a folding card? (See pics below)

I wish they would put lot numbers on their seeds. It's not bad enough seeds are crazy expensive these days. More the time lost in failed seeds. I have 6 or 8 weeks in failed WoS seeds and that would be an entire plant, start to finish (almost). Fuckers cost me a quarter pound of "weed time". LOL

Here are 2 seeds planted a few days apart with the WoS almost dead and the Sweet Seeds doing great. Same conditions. I can only call it bad genetics.

So here is my only experience with word of seeds. This past growing season I ordered South African Kwazulu from the seed celler and germinated and grew them outside. I germinated 6 out of 12 they all sprouted just fine. I had crazy cutworm problems this year and even with taking precautions only 2 survived both were females.The two were completely different from one another with total different form , one was really airy with leafy resinous bracts. The other had more compact buds with a much higher rate of flowers. Over all not bad but hardly a pure sativa land race

Wow, you sure were right about not finding those genetics in the USA. I cleared my CC for international use, I am 3D secure and I still can't get 5 different EU seedbanks to take my credit card. LOL Guess I'll go back to the old days of sending cash.

So, I finally move to SoCal where I can do what I love legally and not face prison like Ohio. I give the seedbanks sites my real name and address. Easy Peazy.... so I thought. LOL I guess the more things change, the more they stay the same.

I was surprised to see that The Vault no longer takes credit cards. What happened there? Herbies let me down. Attitude. Even World of Seeds, directly. For whatever reason, all the EU seedbanks turn down all 3 of my credit cards.??? Go figure. I just used it at walmart.com and it worked great. I like dealing with Great Lakes and CannaGenetics but they just don't have breeders I know and trust. Never thought I would run into this with all the legalization going on in the world.

I have this same problem. There are genetics on seedbay, seedboutique, RGS, I want and can’t get cc’s cleared.

 

[IndicaFarmer]

beautiful plant piney. you would be surprised, with good growing techniques, and long enough veg and flowering period, some of the African varieties can have some mass to their flowers. but yeah, its pretty well known that wos varieties are not 100 percent landrace. they prob use some other stable frosty variety to cross it with to bring flowering time down and add some density and weight. a giveaway would be skunkiness in the terpene profile. the leaves look passable though. did you make any seed of that? looks killer.

 

[Old Piney]

did you make any seed of that? looks killer.

Unfortunately because of the damn cutworms I had only two females .I did make a few seeds with a Durban male. that one with the loose sticky bracts is just crazy stinky , my best description is just stinky pot.When it was growing it stunk up a 200’ radius. If I open a jar it stinks up the whole house

 

[FletchF.Fletch]

Hey @Ringodoggie , sorry I missed your question. Mine came straight from World of Seeds, but unpacked and sent in labeled plastic bags.

When I've purchased their seeds in original packs, they have come in both forms. The folding card with tube is their older packaging, and the sealed pouch with tube inside is the new version.

Here are some Neville's Autos at day 18. Gotta transplant.
