Seed Bank Industry, reviews, and update

Many people often wonder about buying seeds to start with their growing of the great cannabis plant. The fact is with so many seed banks online and retail locations in various countries around the world, seed banks have become a viable business and are continuing to grow in strains and breeders.

Seed Banks started back in the early 80s and have grown to over 200 companies in 2005. There have always been seed banks that were underground but recent changes in laws as well as the internet has allowed seed banks to become a growing industry. Some seed banks have retail stores, offer online credit card payments, have phone numbers and a full time staff of diligent seed bank workers making sure orders and inventory are correct.

Many people with conservative attitudes ask "how is this possible" and "why are these seed banks allowed to exist?" Keep in mind that no country owns the internet, so often times people will complain and write rude comments to seed banks saying that they should stop what they are doing. These people don't realize that these seed banks have purchased business licenses and pay taxes on their income.

4 Types of Seed Banks

There are 4 main types of seed banks that you will find all around the world.The first one and most common is the retailer. This is a brick and mortar seed bank company that will represent not only itself but many strains from breeders that they carry as a distributor. An example of this seed bank is "Amsterdam Marijuana Seeds"

The second type of seedbank is one that reviews strains and seeds from various breeders and companies in aspects such as easy growing, feminized, sizes, shipping, indica, sativa and other elements that help with buying seeds and choosing good strains. try "Marijuana Seeds & Strains"

The forth type of seed bank is a breeder/retailer. This is a company that has their own strains of marijuana seeds that sells directly to the public as well as to various seed banks that retail their seeds for them. An example of this seed bank is "Nirvana"

The third seed bank is an affiliate seed bank that send you to the original site to complete your purchase. They are paid a small commision for finding you and completing a sale. An example of this is "Mary Jane's Garden "

Benefits of buying your own seeds

The great news about seed banks is that it is putting the commercial grower out of business and giving people their own quality control. When buying off the street you never know what your going to get and it can be expensive. The majority of people that buy seeds from seed banks are not commercial growers but instead are the small hobbiest that just wants to stop the underground trade and have their own cannabis for personal use. Cannabis growing is similar to home brewing and wine making except that marijuana has never been known to kill anyone and is a naturally occuring plant.

Yes, the seed bank industry has come a long way and has a long way to go, but it is here to stay. There are some shady seed banks that do exist so please be careful when choosing a reliable seed bank.

How To Germinate Your Marijuana Seeds

Making New Plants

When we think about how to grow new plants, most of us think of planting seeds. Each seed is really a tiny plant in a package. Seeds are protected by a seed coat that can be thick or thin. Seeds have all of the materials inside of them that they need to form leaves, stems, and roots. But, seeds stay dormant until the conditions are right for them to begin to grow, usually warm and wet. Germination is when a root and a shoot begin to grow out from the seed. This is the beginning of a new plant!

There are many ways to Germinate seeds, this is my favorite way and seems to be the most reliable.

• 85 - 90 degrees F is best and required to make the seed germinate. For good germination, lay a few layers of paper towels in a dish.
• Place seeds in center of dish. Lay 2 or 3 layers of paper towels on top of the seeds. Moisten with sterilized water (boil it).
• Place dish/bowl in warm area or by heat or atop a heating pad. This is true also if you germinate seeds in rockwool, Oasis cubes, or other medium, keep it moist and warm.

• When the seeds sprout, and the white shoot emerges, transplant (root down) into your soil or rockwool or whatever medium you are working with. Treat very gently, don't break the root tip.
• Some seeds take up to 12 days to start germination, but most will germinate within 24 to 72 hours. Be patient, give your valuable seeds a chance to sprout before tossing them out.
• Do not let seeds dry out - place Saran Wrap over the dish and store in a dark place. Add small quantities of water when needed to keep moist
