Question 1

How do I choose the right cannabis seeds?

Accepted Answer

Work backwards from your space. Decide indoor or outdoor first, then how much height you can allow, then how long you are willing to wait. Only after those three answers do effects and flavour matter, because a strain you cannot finish in your conditions is the wrong strain regardless of how good it sounds. Beginners generally do best on autoflowering or feminized seeds.

Question 2

What's the difference between regular, feminized, and autoflowering seeds?

Accepted Answer

Regular seeds produce both male and female plants, roughly 50/50, and you cull the males. Feminized seeds are bred to produce only female plants, which are the ones that flower. Autoflowering seeds switch from vegetative growth to flowering based on age rather than on a change in light cycle, which removes the timing decision entirely.

Question 3

Should a first-time grower buy autoflower or photoperiod seeds?

Accepted Answer

Autoflower, in most cases. They finish faster, stay smaller, and do not require you to manage a light schedule — the single most common thing new growers get wrong. The trade-off is less control: you cannot hold an autoflower in vegetative growth to build a bigger plant, so what you get is what it gives you.

Question 4

What does indica, sativa and hybrid actually tell me?

Accepted Answer

Less than most listings imply. As a rough guide indica-dominant plants grow shorter and bushier with heavier effects, sativa-dominant plants grow taller and looser with more cerebral effects, and hybrids sit between. For predicting how a plant will actually grow, flowering time and stated height are far more reliable than the label.

Question 5

What is a CBD or high-CBD seed?

Accepted Answer

A variety bred so the cannabinoid ratio favours CBD rather than THC. The plant grows and smells much like its THC-forward counterpart, but the effect is substantially milder. They suit growers who want the terpene profile and the growing experience without the potency.

Question 6

How much THC is high?

Accepted Answer

Anything at or above roughly 20% is potent by current standards, and the mid-to-high twenties is the top of the commercial range. Published figures are ranges rather than guarantees, because the same genetics express differently depending on how they are grown, when they are harvested, and how they are cured.

Question 7

How many seeds should I buy?

Accepted Answer

Buy more than the number of plants you intend to finish. Not every seed germinates, not every seedling thrives, and with regular seeds roughly half will be male. For a first grow, starting three to five to bring one or two to harvest is a sensible margin.

Question 8

How do I germinate cannabis seeds?

Accepted Answer

The paper towel method is the most reliable. Place the seeds between two damp — not soaking — paper towels on a plate, invert a second plate over the top, and keep it somewhere warm and dark. Check daily, and move each seed to soil once the taproot reaches a quarter to half an inch. Handle the taproot as little as possible, and plant it pointing down.

Question 9

How long does germination take?

Accepted Answer

Most seeds crack within 24 to 72 hours and are ready to plant within three to five days. Older seed can take a week or more. If nothing has happened after ten days, that seed is unlikely to come.

Question 10

Why didn't my seeds germinate?

Accepted Answer

The four usual causes are too much water, too little warmth, planting the taproot upside down, and handling the seed too much once it has cracked. Age matters too — viability declines steadily after about three years even when storage has been good.

Question 11

How deep should I plant a germinated seed?

Accepted Answer

About a quarter of an inch below the surface, taproot pointing down, with the soil pressed lightly rather than packed. Too deep is a far more common mistake than too shallow.

Question 12

Do I need special equipment to start?

Accepted Answer

No. A warm dark spot, paper towels, two plates and a pot will germinate seed successfully. Equipment becomes worth buying once the plant is growing — lighting and airflow are where money makes a difference, not at germination.

Question 13

What is the difference between flowering time and time from seed?

Accepted Answer

Flowering time counts only from the point a photoperiod plant begins to flower, so you must add your vegetative period to know the total. Autoflower listings usually quote time from seed to harvest, which is the whole grow. Comparing one against the other is the most common way growers misjudge how long a strain takes.

Question 14

How tall will my plants get?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the variety and on how long you vegetate. Autoflowers commonly finish under 80cm. Photoperiod plants stretch substantially — often doubling — in the first two weeks of flower, so plan your headroom around the height at the flip rather than the height when you flip.

Question 15

Can I grow these outdoors?

Accepted Answer

In a suitable climate, yes. Photoperiod plants need a season long enough to finish before cold and damp arrive. Autoflowers are the safer choice for short seasons because they run to their own clock and can be started later.

Question 16

How should I store my cannabis seeds?

Accepted Answer

Cool, dark, dry and stable. Around 6-8°C (42-46°F) at 20-30% humidity, in a sealed container. A refrigerator works well. The enemy is fluctuation — repeatedly warming and cooling seed damages it faster than storing it slightly too warm at a steady temperature.

Question 17

How long do cannabis seeds stay viable?

Accepted Answer

Three to five years when stored properly, and often longer. Germination rates fall gradually rather than suddenly, so older seed is worth attempting — just start more of it than you would with fresh seed.

Question 18

Can I freeze cannabis seeds?

Accepted Answer

It is not recommended without proper preparation. Any moisture inside the seed can form ice crystals and destroy it, and condensation on removal causes its own damage. Refrigeration in a sealed container is the safer approach for almost everyone.

Question 19

How can I tell if a seed is still good?

Accepted Answer

Appearance is a weak signal, but healthy seed is usually firm, dark, and often tiger-striped, while pale, green or crushable seed is frequently immature. The only real test is germination.

Question 20

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

Credit and debit cards, bank transfer, and a range of cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin. Payment details are encrypted in transit and processed by the payment provider.

Question 21

Will 'cannabis' appear on my statement?

Accepted Answer

No. Billing statements show a generic company name with no reference to cannabis or to seeds.

Question 22

Can I change or cancel an order after placing it?

Accepted Answer

Only before it ships, and orders are picked quickly. Contact us as soon as possible — once a parcel has been dispatched it cannot be recalled.

Question 23

Do I need an account to order?

Accepted Answer

No. An account keeps your order history and tracking in one place, but you can check out without one.

Question 24

How long does shipping take?

Accepted Answer

Domestic orders typically arrive within 3-7 business days. International delivery varies by destination and usually runs 7-21 business days. Express options are available at checkout. Full detail is on the Shipping page.

Question 25

Do you ship discreetly?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every order goes out in plain, unmarked packaging with nothing on the outside indicating what is inside or who sent it.

Question 26

Can I track my order?

Accepted Answer

Tracking is provided on most shipments and is sent by email once the parcel is dispatched. Some international services offer limited scanning after the parcel leaves the country of origin.

Question 27

What if my order doesn't arrive?

Accepted Answer

Contact us if the expected window has passed. We will use the tracking to locate the parcel where possible, and in the rare event a package is genuinely lost we will look at reshipment or refund.

Question 28

Do you ship internationally?

Accepted Answer

Yes, to many destinations, though delivery times are longer and customs handling varies. It remains the buyer's responsibility to know whether importing seed is permitted where they live.

Question 29

My package arrived damaged. What now?

Accepted Answer

Photograph the packaging and the contents before unpacking any further, then contact us with the images and your order number. Seed is small and robust, and most crush damage still leaves viable stock, but we would rather look at it than have you guess.

Question 30

Are your seeds guaranteed to germinate?

Accepted Answer

Seed is selected and tested for viability, and a limited germination guarantee applies: if fewer than 80% of your seeds germinate when correct technique has been followed, contact us about replacements. Germination also depends on storage, technique and conditions after the seed leaves us, which is why the guarantee is conditional rather than absolute.

Question 31

What counts as 'proper technique' under the guarantee?

Accepted Answer

Broadly: a warm, dark, damp start such as the paper towel method, no soaking beyond about 24 hours, minimal handling of the taproot, and planting at around a quarter of an inch. Keeping a few notes and photographs of your setup makes any claim far easier to resolve.

Question 32

Are these seeds feminized?

Accepted Answer

It varies by product and is stated on each strain's page. Where a listing does not say feminized, assume regular seed and expect roughly half to be male.

Question 33

Where do your genetics come from?

Accepted Answer

The catalogue is drawn from established breeder lines rather than unlabelled bulk seed, which is why the same strain names recur across reputable seed banks. Each strain page lists the cannabinoid range and flowering window published for that line.

Question 34

Is it legal to buy cannabis seeds?

Accepted Answer

It depends entirely on where you are. In many jurisdictions seeds may be bought and held as collectors' or novelty items while germinating them remains restricted or prohibited. Laws differ by country, by state, and sometimes by city, and they change. Knowing and following the rules that apply to you is your responsibility.

Question 35

Can you tell me whether it's legal where I live?

Accepted Answer

No. We cannot give legal advice, and we are not in a position to interpret your local law for you. Check your own jurisdiction's current rules, and if the position is unclear, take proper advice before ordering.

Question 36

Do you provide legal advice on growing?

Accepted Answer

No. Everything on this site is general horticultural and product information, not legal guidance, and nothing here should be read as encouragement to break the law where you are.
