Shipping and Packaging: Unlike our competitors who use standard envelopes, we ship our seeds in USPS 3-day padded envelopes to ensure they arrive quickly and securely. This method protects the seeds from being crushed during transit, guaranteeing that they reach you fresh, viable, and intact.
Seed Quality and Sourcing: Our strains are meticulously sourced, rigorously tested, and confirmed to be 100% authentic. We predominantly offer Izmir Strains and Izmir Crosses, along with other occasional rare seeds. Each batch is grown, seeded, and undergoes a germination check before it is sold. Our seeds are suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, and every order includes extra seeds.
Germination and Genetic Quality: Our seeds are renowned for producing multiple flowers and are quality checked for high germination rates, seed count, and size. We select seeds from the largest flowers with the best characteristics to promote superior genetic qualities.
Source and Authenticity: All seeds are sourced either directly from the "Izmir Oil & Spice Company in BC, Canada" or from verified sellers who have bred the plants for several generations.
