Hey, thanks for stopping by AFN. Ready to bring you real deal experiences with multiple banks throughout a decade of exploration. I will preface by stating: "The opinions expressed by the forest-dwelling sasquatch are not necessarily those of the AFN family. AFN can in no way be held responsible for a sasquatch's rudeness and inability to articulate his personal opinion in a clear, concise, and objective manner. We appreciate if you do not feed the sasquatch in question, he is on a diet of Jack Links. Thank you, sincerely The Guy on the Couch".
Now, if you'll step right through here, we can begin.
 
How the hell does a sasquatch afford to live on jack links, on a sasquatches wage!! Jeezuz those rare release pcs of said sasquatch must sell for a shatload on ebay!! ;) :D

Also how much Jack Links does a sasquatch eat in a day after smoking fantastic weed!? I am guessing a lot!!
 
1) The first thing to mention is that on one occasion years ago, I dealt with one of the most generous companies. I had by this time cultivated Critical Jack Auto, but nothing else automatic. At the time I also had a yt channel, but that has since been taken down. I had been a tester of genetics, but when the members of that group disbanded, there was no reason to continue with a channel dedicated to it. While I did have my hundreds of subscribers, I decided to reach out to Joint Doctor. I sent them a message explaining my passion for automatics, my reasons for coming to them, and a bit about my channel. I also inquired to see if they would provide a small sample of Joint Doctor genetics to exhibit on the channel. There was a bit of back and forth. They then provided me with a few different varieties of theirs to test. I was flabbergasted, having been hoping to be given just one bean to test at the most. A 3 pack of each was astronomical to me. I had never known such generosity, even to this day Seedsman has been the top in my mind. Surprisingly, I haven't ordered from them due to specific varieties being out of stock when such procurement is financially possible. Reg. Autos of specific lineage usually or TGA. Lowryder was always out, as were many CBD enriched varieties. They never requested anything of me, merely that I enjoy and spread the Joint Doctor and Seedsman word. This was my first intro to the Purple Jems and Mossy's work. I feel that even though I haven't had direct business, their willingness to assist an enthusiastic amateur, and generosity, makes them reliable and worth doing business with. I wonder what the Doctor is up to now, as many of his varieties are out of stock, and his site is stagnant. Last I saw of him was on urbanremo at the Champ's show in Canada.

2)The first successful time was with everyonedoesit. They provided my first genetics, KC Brains Mind Bender and Northern Light Special. They came stealthily for no extra charge, and came in breeders original paper packs. There was a lapse of several months before I could begin, however once I could get a lil setup, it all germed without issue. I became overwhelmed with possibility and tried to order more in earnest. This was my first intro to ......Customs.
I'm sure this is familiar with some, things the second time around were less than favorable. So as I examined my first ever opened mail, my heart began racing. I had healthy fear as I filed away my letter from chi town, thinking I was royally bollocksed. So early in the game, but that fear has never left me. Every single time I procured genetics I had insane anxiety, which would only exacerbate in the future. I am not, nor ever have been crazy, even when my beliefs were considered conspiracies. Everything was proven true about the level of invasiveness we all endure, the willingness of corporations and politicans to sacrifice their constituents. NO POLITICS beyond this point though . Healthy fear meant it would be sometime before I ordered again, for fear of reprisal from uncompassionate authorities. It would have to be dealt with, and I merely had to choose my venues much more carefully. I am always split on risk vs. reward, but if a company was willing to do what was needed, I was willing to try again. There is no other way, as so many breeders protect themselves using seedbanks as brokers, its how the business I love must work for everyone's sake. Just a necessary piece of the puzzle

3) I had heard many times through various avenues about the Attitude. So the most reviewed seedbank on AFN was my second venue. I was still assuming all genetics available were equal, and still chose more KC Brains also reordered the two strains I had cultivated previously. I had not been saavy enough to make any seeds or clones and save myself time and headache. It all worked out very smoothly. No hangups at all, and back then things arrived in about 6 days. Was pleased with how professional Attitude was. Stealthy, expedient, and in a crushproof case with freebies and original breeders packs. I was floating on Cloud 9, beside myself. I believed enough in them to begin spending more, bit by bit. Starting new companies and strains. It led to the AK48 from Nirvana and eventually to TGA Chernobyl. Dinafem's Critical Jack Auto would follow, my first Ruderalis Hybrid. I was hooked on good business, genetics collecting, and terpenes. They stayed my steady seedbank for a few years.

4) The Choice. The Choice, as I understand it, is the sister site to the Attitude. CC purchases are possible, but shipping options vary. Transactions are always smooth, parcels arrive on time. One difference being that signature is required where it wasn't so for Attitude, no issues. Another difference is that now there are two main options. Either you can keep your breeders packs and not have guarantee, or have extra guarantee and relinquish original packs. If you purchase the guarantee, regardless if you request original packs, they will be removed anyway. The genetics come with a small piece of the original pack to ensure authenticity, but sometimes it doesn't, just a handwritten name. The only stark contrast. Trust is required, but everything is legitimate. Their customer service is very prompt and courteous. The only place with such variety including several reg autos. They clean house every now and then, and discount certain varieties, which are usually just overstocked or stock they are wanting to refresh. These discounts make genetics very affordable for those on shoestring budgets.
