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

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.

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.

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.
