Most seed banks are OK when everything is OK. When something is not as it should be, e.g. the seeds do not want to germinate, problems begin to get your money back.

Freebies is a great perk, I prefer to buy from seedbanks that offer freebies.

Ordered directly from a few breeders and most don't include freebies, a bit sad especially when they charge $120+ for a pack of 6 fems.

I kinda prefer regular seeds, though.

Got these from Beleaf, they included a Beleaf Cookies x Permenant Marker freebies. Very nice packaging. Paid through Zelle, that was convenient for me.

Shipping took a bit longer than other spots I've ordered in the last month.

those are not breeders, those are scam artists, a seed shouldn't cost more than 2usd.

$2 a seed , really ?.
That way to cheap , we got to eat to 😆.

I agree seeds are very expensive but worth the money if just 1 keepers is found.
Also a reason we charge so much is seedbanks double up any price we charge them so If seedbank sell for $100 max breeder gets is $50.

I try and offer really nice deals especially to icmag.com members ( best deals I offer anywhere) with FREEBIES and 20% discount with every order , thats the best i can offer( or 33% off seed pack price but no FREEBIES).


If you started selling seeds for $2 I'm sure you would be moving alot of seeds and a big success in no time .
Just you won't make any money unless you grow outdoors and don't need to pay for electric and can grow huge plants to get 1000's of seeds every plant

High prices for seeds does not equate to quality. There are so many shit herms coming from US stock at overinflated prices these days. And so many US clones have hops latent virus to boot.
Why even the definitive Neville’s Haze, Super Silver Haze and Mango Haze from Mr. Nice can regularly be had for less than $5/seed purchased thru their auctions. 18 seeds/pack guarantees 2-3 keepers. Reg seeds best for breeding and germination is typically greater than 95%. I’ve never had a problem with service. Shanti has always made my orders right with no arguments or mind fucks. As they say, caveat emptor.

I dunno, Nelson Garden sells most of their seeds for cents and they seem to be pretty much everywhere.... I'm messing, what I kind of purposefully left out was the part where I say:" If the conditions were ripe for a global legal market of cannabis seeds, a seed would cost 2$" i tend to get lost in my own thoughts and I tend to type what I really mean without offering context, I'm sorry. Not really.

I've been making bubble-hash recently, I'm about to start a pheno hunt for a good washing strain. I've bought seeds from about 3 different breeders who breed high hash strains and it's hard to find $2 seeds that wash well.

AVO is a Michigan breeder who's known for his amazing hash hybrids. Ice Cream Truck is Purple Ice water x GaryI95 f2.

Sorry man, but when I pop seeds for a selection to find a keeper to work with - seed costs are dwarfed
Some people put a lot of effort into selections and sell the seeds as genetic stocks and not as growing tools.

Having said that, price does not guarentee quality in any way. You can find very nice, stable, seeds at 2-3 $/ seed, and there are a lot of seeds I would never bother pop at over 100 $ / seed

When i expect to pay around 2000 $/ month electricity for growing in a few months, the 400 $ Im about to spend on seeds for the christmas sales should pay for themselves easily

Wasting time and work on growing seeds that do not match my needs is more annoying than the few hundred dollars


Keep boutique breeders alive

I am not dissin the honest sellers (the few), but when you think how much an afghani or moroccan farmer could make if they tapped in a tenth of the market the Dutch or American seed companies make, they would stop making hash, all I'm sayin...thank god they haven't found out too soon either...

If you reflect their work in selecting, keeping parents, crossing and testing - probably not much

Making seeds is very easy (grown also as bird seeds)
Making top shelf cannabis seeds comes with a competition and takes work

agreed, but the amount of people that sell seed that saw work done around them instead of on them is too damn high....
