6 Main Features Every Seed Bank Needs To Have
By PAGE Editor
Seed banks are places where seeds are stored, cultivated, and grown. Most people have absolutely no reason to deal with such institutions. However, if you are a Cannabis user, then you might. The reason for this is that in places where the plant is legalized for recreational use, it is legal to grow it. A lot of people choose to grow it at home, because that way, they don’t have to pay excessive amounts of money for small amounts of the drug.
If you are planning on buying your own Cannabis seeds, then here’s what to look for in a seed bank.
Genuine Seeds
Unfortunately, there are a lot of manufacturers and distributors selling dud seeds on the internet. Buying products from such places will inevitably cause you to lose a lot of money. You always need to be sure that the place you are buying seeds from is genuine. One of the best ways to do this is to select a seed bank from an expertly curated guide, recommended by somebody who knows what they are talking about. You can learn more here about such guides. Before buying any product, make sure that you read the product’s reviews, too. If you can’t find information on them then consider making a post on a forum like Reddit, where you can speak to other Cannabis growers and figure out whether or not the seeds you want to buy or genuine.
Extensive Research
One of the hallmarks of a good seed bank is research. The seed bank that you choose to work with should constantly be researching Cannabis and Cannabis seeds and creating new strains. Most genuine seed banks do this. Those that do will publish information about their research on their website. Make sure that you only ever shop with a seed bank that has a commitment to their craft, and who is an authority on it. Ideally, they should have a blog on their website that tells you all about seeds, their research, and what their strains are like.
Organic Growth
If you are able to, then only buy organic seeds. While it is certainly true that it can be more difficult to grow organic seeds (because the plants they produce are more susceptible to pests and infection), it’s worth it. Organic seeds contain no pesticides, chemicals, or additives; they are 100% natural. This means that the plant that you grow from your seeds will be too. That said, of course, if you do not care about organic seeds (and don’t want to pay extra for them) then you can go ahead and buy ordinary ones.
Cannabis Strain
Some seed banks create their own Cannabis strains, as mentioned previously. However, you don’t have to buy unique strains from the seed bank that you are shopping with, you can just buy already popular strains, like White Widow or Purple Haze. In addition to finding a seed bank that sells unique ones, try to find a seed bank that sells very popular ones, too. You yourself need to do a lot of research about the strain that you want to grow, also. If you don’t know what you want to grow (or why you want to grow it) then you won’t be able to choose a good strain.
Customer Service
Good customer service is always a desirable quality in a seed bank. Many seed banks’ customer support departments will actually be able to answer questions about growing Cannabis, so if you encounter any problems then you can get in touch with them. They will also be able to answer any questions about your seeds or resolve any problems with delivery or placing orders. Ideally, the seed bank you work with should have a dedicated phone number for you to call, a live chat service, as well as an email address.
Good Reviews
Finally, good reviews are very important. If a site doesn’t have good reviews then you can’t buy products from them, it’s really that simple. A website’s reviews will give you a glimpse of what it’s like working with them, through things written by their past customers. Bear in mind that it’s also unfortunately very common for businesses to post fake reviews nowadays. If the reviews you are reading seem too positive (or seem to have all been written by the same person) then it is a strong indication that they have purchased positive reviews from an agency offering them.
Seed banks can be hard to choose. There are various things that you need to consider before you can begin working with one, from their reviews to the strains that they offer. Give each point here serious consideration so you can make the best decision for yourself.
