Frequently Asked Questions

About Seeds 🌱

What’s the difference between photoperiod and autoflower seeds?

  • Photoperiod seeds: These plants need a change in their light cycle to start flowering. Outdoors, that happens naturally as the days get shorter at the end of summer. Indoors, growers usually switch the lights to 12 hours on / 12 hours off to “tell” the plant it’s time to flower. They often grow bigger and can produce larger harvests, but they take more time and attention.

  • Autoflower seeds: These plants don’t care about light changes — they automatically start flowering after a few weeks of growth. That means they’re usually faster to finish and smaller in size, which some people like for a quicker turnaround. The trade-off is they don’t usually yield as much as photoperiod plants.

How should cannabis seeds be stored for best longevity?

Keep seeds in a cool, dark, and dry environment. Short-term, in the airtight bag/ tube/ tuppaware, in the back of a cupboard or draw is fine. Long term, ideal conditions are around 6–8 °C (e.g., a fridge in an airtight container with a silica pack). Avoid temperature swings and moisture, which can shorten viability.

How do I choose which seeds to get?

It depends on what kind of experience you’re looking for:

  • For collectors who like big, classic plants → Photoperiod seeds are the traditional choice. They take longer to finish but can produce larger, more vigorous plants.

  • For those who prefer speed and simplicity → Autoflower seeds are quicker to mature and don’t rely on light cycle changes. They’re smaller, more compact, and finish faster.

  • For personal preference → Indicas are usually linked with relaxing, body-heavy effects, while Sativas are often associated with uplifting, energising effects. Hybrids sit somewhere in between.

👉 If you’re new, many collectors start with autoflowers for their simplicity, then explore photoperiod strains once they’re more comfortable.

Ordering & Shipping 🚚

How quickly do you ship orders?

We dispatch most orders on the same or next business day once payment has cleared. During peak periods or public holidays, dispatch may occasionally take a little longer, but we process orders as quickly as possible.

As soon as your order is packed and lodged, you’ll receive an automated email with your tracking number so you can follow its progress. If you haven’t received tracking within a reasonable timeframe, it usually means your order is queued for dispatch and will be on its way shortly.

If you ever have questions about your order, you’re welcome to reply to your confirmation email and we’ll be happy to help.

How long will it take for my order to arrive?

Delivery times depend on your location.

Australia Post guidelines are that 3–7 business days after dispatch

Remote or regional areas may take a little longer, and delivery times can be extended during peak periods or public holidays.

Once your order has been dispatched, you’ll receive a tracking number by email so you can follow its progress with Australia Post.

Do you guarantee delivery?

Yes. As long as the address you provide is correct, and we have confirmed the package is lost (and not just delayed) we offer a delivery guarantee. If your package does not arrive for any reason, we’ll resend your order at no extra cost.

How discreet is the packaging?

All orders are sent in plain envelopes with no branding or identifying marks. There’s nothing on the outside to suggest what’s inside. We use biodegradeable and bags and bubble wrap to protect the package, and using this method we have close to 100% success in shipping seeds that are healthy and undamaged.

Seed Quality & Testing 🌱

Do you guarantee germination?

Seeds are living, organic material, and like all biological systems, natural variation is part of the process. Expecting every seed to germinate in every situation isn’t realistic — even with high-quality genetics and careful handling.

That’s why our focus is on strong overall viability, not absolute perfection. A germination rate in the 80–90% range is considered healthy and normal across the industry, and outcomes like 4 out of 5 seeds germinating fall well within expected parameters.

To support our customers, we offer a Germination Guarantee. To make a claim under this guarantee, customers are required to test seeds using the paper towel method, and to provide:

  • their order number

  • clear, time-stamped photos showing the seeds during testing

  • a brief outline of the testing conditions used, including temperature, water source, and timeframe

Where a claim is approved, support is provided at our discretion in the form of replacement seeds included with a future order or store credit. This approach allows us to resolve issues fairly while maintaining consistent standards across all cases.

How do you test your seeds?

We use the paper towel method to keep our checks consistent and fair. Seeds are placed on damp tissues (not soaked), kept in a dark covered container at a steady ~22 °C, and monitored daily for up to 5 days. We always use pure water (rain or filtered) and clean tweezers, never bare hands. [Read more → How We Test]

What methods are not covered by your Quality Guarantee?

Only the paper towel method at 22-25 °C with pure water is part of our testing process. Other approaches — including direct to soil, peat pellets, rockwool, hydroponics, or outdoor sowing — add too many variables and are not covered.

Why do you use tweezers instead of fingers?

Tweezers protect seeds from skin oils, dirt, and pressure that can damage seed coats. This keeps handling consistent and prevents contamination during our tests.

What type of water should I use?

We recommend rainwater or filtered water only. Tap water often contains chlorine or other additives that can interfere with seed viability.

Payments & Privacy 💳

What payment methods do you accept?

We currently accept bank transfer and cryptocurrency. If you can’t make a bank transfer, we can provide a secure link so you can pay by card. The reason we do not accept credit/ debit card payments on checkout is for your own privacy and safety. Trust us, bank transfer is the best way.

Is my payment information secure?

Yes. All card payments are processed through trusted third-party gateways. We don’t store or have access to your card details. Bank transfers and crypto payments are also handled securely outside our site.

Will my card/bank statement show anything sensitive?

No. As long as you just use your order number when making payment.

Collector Information 📦

What does “souvenir/collector’s item” mean?

It means seeds are intended for collection, preservation, and display. Many collectors value them for their genetics, heritage, and rarity — much like vintage coins or trading cards.

How should I store seeds for long-term collection?

Keep seeds in a cool, dark, and dry place. Avoid direct sunlight, temperature swings, and excess moisture. Many collectors use airtight containers with a silica pack for added protection. Stored properly, seeds can remain viable for years. Learn more here.

How can I learn more about seed collecting?

We have a lot of learning resources here in our blog. 

We also suggest you join a forum like: 420Forum where you can connect with many highly experienced, helpful and passionate collectors.
