Frequently Asked Questions

Accessing and viewing information about cannabis seeds is legal in most jurisdictions worldwide. However, purchasing, possessing, and growing cannabis seeds varies significantly by location. Some countries treat cannabis seeds as legal collectibles, while others have restrictions. It is always your responsibility to understand and comply with your local, state, and federal laws before making any purchases.

Autoflowering seeds are ideal for beginners and quick harvests. Unlike photoperiod strains that require specific light cycles to flower, autoflowers transition automatically based on age (usually 2-4 weeks). Benefits include faster growing cycles (8-12 weeks total), compact size perfect for small spaces, and the ability to grow multiple harvests per season outdoors. While yields may be smaller than photoperiod strains, modern autoflowers offer excellent potency and are perfect for new growers.

Feminized seeds produce 99%+ female plants, eliminating the need to identify and remove male plants during cultivation. This makes them ideal for growers focused on flower production. Regular seeds produce both male and female plants in roughly equal ratios, making them essential for breeding projects and maintaining genetic diversity. Most home growers prefer feminized seeds for simplicity and guaranteed flower production.

Properly stored cannabis seeds remain viable for 2-5 years or longer. Store seeds in a cool (6-8°C/43-46°F), dark, dry environment with low humidity. Many reputable seed banks provide germination guarantees for fresh seeds, and some offer replacement policies for seeds that fail to germinate. Avoid temperature fluctuations and moisture exposure to maximize seed longevity.

Seed Radar is a comparison platform - we don't sell seeds directly. When you find a strain you're interested in, you'll see a list of verified seed banks offering that strain with pricing and availability. Click "View Seeds" or "Buy Now" to be redirected to the seed bank's official website to complete your purchase. This ensures you're buying directly from authorized dealers with their full guarantees and customer support.

Each seed bank profile includes detailed shipping policy information and destination lists. You can also use our location filter when browsing strains to only show providers that ship to your area. Most reputable seed banks offer worldwide shipping with various stealth packaging options, but shipping policies and costs vary by destination and local regulations.

Most established seed banks accept cryptocurrency (Bitcoin, Ethereum), bank transfers, and cash payments. Some also accept credit cards and digital payment services. Cryptocurrency payments often receive discounts (5-15% off) and provide additional privacy. Always verify payment options on the seed bank's website and use secure payment methods from reputable providers.

Most cannabis strains can be grown in both environments, but some are optimized for specific conditions. Indoor growing offers complete environmental control, year-round cultivation, and privacy, while outdoor growing can produce larger yields with natural sunlight and lower costs. Check each strain's description for optimal growing conditions, flowering times, and climate recommendations to ensure successful cultivation.
