Seeds & Plants

We grow from seed.  Feminized seeds.  Back in the old days, before recreational cannabis was legal in California, we could buy plants from the medical marijuana dispensaries.   That changed with full legalization; now there are rules about that sort of thing.  The state Bureau of Cannabis Control issues licenses for cultivators, manufacturers, retailers, distributors, microbusinesses, testing laboratories, and event organizers.  


To wit:

Bureau of Cannabis Control Emergency Regulations regarding the sale of seeds and live plants:

§ 5408. Live Plants

    (a) A retailer shall only sell live, immature cannabis plants and seeds if all of the following requirements are met:

        (1) The plant is not flowering;

        (2) The plant or seed was purchased from a nursery that holds a valid Type 4-Cultivation Nursery license under the Act; and

        (3) A label is affixed to the plant or package containing any seeds which states “This product has not been tested pursuant to the Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act.”

    (b) A retailer may not sell any other live plants.

    (c) A retailer shall not apply nor use any pesticide, nor cause any pesticide to be applied nor used, on live plants.

Online retailers


Our absolute favorite place to buy seeds is True North Seed Bank.  This is a Canadian company, so anything you purchase will be shipped across the border.  Keep that in mind.  True North has a phenomenal offering of sativa, indica, hybrid, feminized, regular, high THC, high CBD, auto-flowering and photo-period seeds from all over the world.  Just their collection of feminized seeds alone has 1313 varieties.  You can find seeds from Cannabis Cup winners and from 46 different seedbanks/breeders.  Prices vary; one of our favorites, Atomic Bomb, sells for $63 for 5 seeds, and most seeds are priced similarly to what you can find locally.  Best part is you get free seeds with every order.  https://truenorthseedbank.com/
