How to Buy from reputable Seed Banks?

Now that you know what’s a reputable site and what’s a scam site, you are now ready to order your first batch of seeds online. Here’s how to do it:

 

• Prepare a list of the strains you want to purchase.

 

So you won’t end up buying things and seeds that you don’t need, make a list of the strains you want to buy. Have a clear picture of how many seeds you plan to grow in your growing area and if you need additional growing equipment.

 

Some seed banks online also sell growing equipment like grow lights, soil, nutrients, and pots. It’s just practical to buy everything you need from just one site, right?

 

 

• Select a reputable online seed bank

 

It’s time to choose a seed bank where you will buy your seeds. Remember the red flags to look for to identify which seed banks are reputable or not.

 

IMPORTANT:

The seed bank that you chose should be able to deliver to your location. If you are in Canada, a legal Canada seed bank is a good choice. For seed banks overseas, see to it that it delivers to your location. This should be indicated on the site and if not, check by calling customer support to find out.

 

If you are located overseas, it is possible to pay for higher shipping and delivery fees.  

 

 

• Check the seed bank’s products pages

 

Now that you have a seed bank site to buy from, scan the home page and the products page. You may use the search pane to make it easier to find the specific strain. If you can’t find the strain you had in mind, try another seed bank.

 

 

• Choose the seeds you want to buy

 

Assuming that you were able to find the seed you want to buy, click on it to find the description and the price. Read the description closely. Once you are done, determine the number of seeds you want to buy.

 

IMPORTANT

Some seed banks will deliver their seeds still inside breeders packaging. These packaging usually come in packs of 3, 5, 10 and so on. Getting seeds still in their packaging is a good thing because these will be protected from light and humidity. However, if you decide to deliver seeds stealthily, you may never get your seeds still in their original packaging.

Just a few payment methods accepted by most marijuana seeds sites are credit cards, bank transfers,  Western Unions and PayPal. You may also come across with seed banks that accept cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Litecoin as well as cash on delivery options.

You need to check for a confirmation message to be sent to you just to tell you that your order was received and that it will be on its way. Depending on the shipping or delivery method you want to use, a  tracking number may be provided to you. Keep this as a reference so you can ask any question about your delivery and to track it anywhere around the world.
