If you’ve read through GrowWeedEasy.com, you probably know how often I talk about genetics. Genetics make a HUGE difference when it comes to your results while growing cannabis. Some seeds produce slow-growing plants, low-quality weed, and awful yields no matter how great your skill. I’ve grown with seeds from tons of different sources and low-quality seeds can be extremely discouraging. You may think you’re a bad grower when the real culprit is the genetics. No one wants to spend time and money to grow bad weed! That’s why I highly recommend ordering seeds from a proven breeder as opposed to growing random seeds you find in your weed, or seeds from an unproven breeder.
If you’re going to spend 3-4 months to grow weed, don’t you want to ensure you’re happy with the results at the end?
There are lots of great cannabis seed banks available today. More than there’s ever been! The problem is it can be hard to know which seed banks are trustworthy and which are a scam. You also want to ensure that your seeds germinate well, produce healthy plants, and give you high-quality buds at the end.
At GrowWeedEasy.com, we try to order seeds directly from the breeder if possible. However, many of the best breeders don’t sell their own seeds, and instead, offer them through seed banks. Over the years, the seed bank I’ve come to use the most is Seedsman. Why?
NOTE: Seedsman updated their website in October 2021, which unfortunately made the site more difficult to navigate. Read the note below from Tom, a founder of Seedsman, to learn more.
GrowWeedEasy.com has recommended Seedsman.com as a trustworthy seed source for almost a decade. However, rumors were rampant after the website changed, and people (including GWE) thought that their business was under new management.
Tom is a founder of Seedsman and this is his story in his own words.

Regarding the Seedsman website upgrade
Seedsman is my life’s work. I’ve dedicated my time and energy to this site for almost 20 years, so it was devastating to see it hit so hard by Covid and Brexit. First Covid slowed down mail delivery which led to big delays to orders, and then Brexit turned our entire supply chain upside down.
On top of that, the Seedsman website was in desperate need of an upgrade. It was getting slower over time and we couldn’t make the new and big improvements we’d been dreaming about for years. It was time. We knew that migrating such an enormous website onto a new platform was going to be a huge undertaking, but we had no idea what was to come.
Let me be frank. There have been multiple failings in our business over this project. When we released the new version of the website it had broken links and functionality problems. During this transition, our communication and service were not up to our standards. I take full responsibility.
We now have a full team working on the site and are also working with a development agency to get the site to where it should be, learn from customers to make the improvements you want to see, and greatly improve the user experience.
And this upgrade, despite all the growing pains, was not in vain. Seedsman.com is quicker, more secure, and translated into 12 different languages. We also brought in a new payment system with added functionality that is being rolled out. When we open in the US next year we will have PayPal, CashApp, reliable card payment, BillPay, and more. We also have brought back a loyalty program and will be building it out continuously over the coming years.
Regarding our shipping and delivery. We are well aware in the days of Amazon that 2-4 weeks for delivery is poor. We will soon be running warehouses in three different jurisdictions, with different stock in each. It’s a complicated system that is still in progress but will bring a greater selection of seeds to more places with faster shipping.
We pledge to make it right for anyone who has had issues. We’ve tried to be as clear to people as to what is going on on our social media channels, but that is now a whole load harder because Instagram removed our page with 130,000 followers. Possibly due to some complaints.
Lastly, I really understand people’s frustration and disappointment – we can and will always do better. Our customer service team has really suffered from abuse. They’ve received vile messages because of this. We now have 5-6 full-time customer service staff who are really proficient and keen to help – we just ask that anyone is polite to them, even if they have had some issues. We will take care of you.
Thanks,
Tom
