A seed bank is a business or organization that stores, markets, and sells cannabis seeds from one or more breeders.
WHAT ARE CANNABIS SEED BANKS?
Seed banks act as distributors rather than creators of genetics. They source seeds from multiple breeders and offer them in one place, often alongside payment processing, shipping, and customer support.
Some seed banks also produce their own in-house genetics, but most function as resellers.
HOW IT’S USED
Seed banks are commonly used by growers to:
– Access multiple breeders in one order
– Purchase seeds that are no longer available directly
– Order internationally
– Compare strains and genetics easily
They often provide strain descriptions, availability updates, and promotions.
WHY IT MATTERS
Seed banks:
– Make genetics more accessible
– Help preserve and distribute strains
– Serve as a bridge between breeders and growers
– Allow growers to explore a wide range of options
For many growers, seed banks are the primary way they acquire seeds.
LIMITATIONS & NOTES
Quality and authenticity depend on the seed bank’s relationship with breeders. Reputable seed banks are transparent about sourcing and breeder partnerships.
