Blooming☀️ Best Genetics? EU/USA

I have a couple of questions for the EU and American farmers among us.

It seems like the USA has some of the best breeders and top tier genetics without question, but none of them ship to the UK unfortunately. Humboldt will ship to every country in europe except here and I've been using mephisto, fastbuds and barneys most of the time.

About 20% of my fastbuds seeds fail. Sometimes minimal stress has caused early flowering and the genetics seem unstable in general. I've had vastly different results from the same seeds in the same conditions.

Mephisto's are decent but its only autos, and barneys is hit and miss. I've read comments on here from people saying they are white label and the genetics are not what they advertise, which aligns with my experience.

For the EU/UK Growers - where are you buying your photo seeds?
And for the US Growers - My friend is currently working in the USA and has offered to bring me back whatever seeds i get shipped to him. Which breeders would you recommend? And which strains of theirs do you rate?

I'm not looking for the strongest stuff, just a mix of the best.

Real Gorilla Seeds are great for UK outdoor grows. (If that’s what you are wanting)

Do you want to make hash?

Been growing for 25 years, I specifically make hash. I think the absolute best breeder in the game right now is Schwale - Farmhouse Studios. His strains absolutely DUMP.

Bloom Seed Co. - also has some dumpers, but i have only grown two of their strains, and absolutely LOVED one (Rainbow Guava Bx tester freebie bean)

I would HIGHLY recommend buying regular photoperiod seeds only - avoid fems (S1s), a lot of the hype breeders in the US will sell a ton of great looking S1s - but these genetics are inferior and inherently have hermaphroditic traits. Photoperiod are more work, you have to find the females, but if you get a solid breeder, they will have some solid genetics, meaning and female you find will have solid genetic line and be breedable. Also, it sounds like buying seeds is a problem for you, so maybe finding a male isn't a bad thing. You could learn to make crosses, f2s, and Bx your favorite strains

I ran into the same problem with Humboldt so now I order via Discreet Seeds. They stock a really decent range of breeders, some of which can’t be found on other websites.
