Frequently Asked Questions

General Queries

• How can 420-Seeds offer seeds that are so affordable?

  We have a couple of secrets at 420-Seeds that allow us to keep our costs low while still providing our customers with the highest quality product. We start by purchasing seeds straight from the best breeders, cutting the costs of the middleman. We also offer a range of seeds of our own white label seeds bred for us, but buy them in bulk so that we can pass even more savings onto our customers. The strains listed on our site from specific breeders are usually bought direct from them, without the need of a distributor so we can afford to list them cheaper than many other sites out there. Do not worry though, they are 100% legit strains directly from those breeders in their original packaging and sealed up to keep them in mint condition for you. This also allows us to keep only the freshest seeds, with most being turned around after only 60 days. While we have the seeds in stock, they are always kept in commercial fridges to help maintain maximum freshness.

• How do I know 420-Seeds is a reputable company that I can trust?

  We are one of the original seedbanks since 1999, and we’ve been serving happy customers ever since that time. We work hard to make sure that each and every one of our thousands of customers around the world receives a high-quality product that they’re satisfied with from the time they place their order to the time it arrives at their doorstep. If you have any concerns that the seeds you order from us are not on the level, contact the breeder of teh seeds you are interested in or have a look on their site. Most breeders list the legitimate re-sellers somewhere on their site and you can usually find us there. You can always order your seeds in their breeders packs to be extra certain.

• How do I know my seeds will germinate, and how many will be female plants?

  The seeds sold by 420-Seeds are meant for souvenir purposes only, as the germination (or sprouting) of them is illegal in many parts of the world. However, in those areas where growing marijuana is a legal activity, we also pride ourselves on having the highest-quality seeds that boast germination rates of near 100%. But, seeds are still a natural product and so slightly unpredictable. For this reason we do not provide guarantees on the germination of any of our seeds. When buying regular seeds, there is no guarantee of female plants. Much of this will depend on growing conditions, as better conditions will yield more females and poor conditions will yield more males or hermaphrodite plants. We do offer feminized seeds, which are engineered to produce 99.9% female plants. However, even these plants can turn into hermaphrodites or males when they are placed under great stress.

• How long can seeds be stored?

  Optimal storage condition for seeds is in a cool, dark and dry place. Under these conditions seeds can be kept fresh for at least two years. To extend the shelf life of seeds even longer, keep them in an airtight container in refrigerated conditions of about 4 – 6 degrees Celsius.

• I’m new to growing and want to know more. Can you help?

  Unfortunately not. At 420-Seeds we sell our seeds for souvenir purposes only, as the cultivation and germination of marijuana seeds is illegal in most parts of the world. If however you live in an area where seeds can be germinated legally, you can find plenty of information online, including online retailers such as Amazon.

• What if I’m looking for a strain that’s not on your site?

• Will I have to sign for my order once it arrives?
