Free Cannabis Seeds

What does it mean when most online cannabis seed retailers offer Free Cannabis Seeds?

It is no secret that a large number of cannabis seed retailers offer free cannabis seeds with every order or sometimes every order over a certain price. In this article we’ll go into a little bit of detail as to how this works and what it means for you the customer! It most likely won’t be a surprise to you that very little in life is in reality actually free!

Having operated in cannabis seed retail for over a decade, we feel we have the inside information needed to be able to pass on to you what free cannabis seeds in your order actually means. Different retail websites treat free cannabis seeds differently but this tends to vary only 2 different ways. Either you get a large number of unidentifiable seeds with enticing names with your order or you receive a smaller selection of branded seeds from established breeders.

Free Seeds end up Costing You Money

When a cannabis seed retailer offers a large number of unidentifiable seeds this is usually seeds that are well passed their “best before date” and have been purchased from a large seed wholesaler for incredibly low prices as they need to clear out stock. This is often bad as whilst cannabis seeds can be stored effectively for years, they are very often not stored correctly and will degrade rather quickly. There is little point in receiving a large number of free cannabis seeds that are of a low quality as this causes more issues than it solves.

What actually are the free seeds that you received? Well this is an important question and it is particularly important when you see large seed retailers offer a variety of seeds that have enticing trending names that do not appear elsewhere. These are often simply lower quality or out of date seeds that have been renamed to fit the latest search trends to encourage you to make your purchase at their store.

What about branded free seeds that are available in lower quantities on cannabis seed retail websites? Well you may ask about retailers that offer well known seeds by trusted breeders for free in generally lower quantities than the unbranded alternatives? There are two ways in which this can go! The first is that the seeds are not actually the same seeds they receive when they order branded seeds and are instead a strain with similar qualities that they hope the customer will not realise is different. The second is that the seeds are what they say they are but in order to cover this cost they are effectively increasing their prices which means you are basically just buying extra seeds that you most likely do not want.

To summarise what free cannabis seeds actually mean, it is either that you are receiving something of a low quality that is going to cause more issues than you would like or that you are actually receiving the seeds you think you are receiving but are paying extra on the seeds you ordered to receive them. The best solution? Don’t fall for the offer of free seeds and simply save money by buying from retail websites that do not offer them. Whilst they may have attractive names they are rarely what you think they are and you would be 99% better off buying what you want at a lower price.
