Welcome!
This is an open thread. Feel free to add your favorite breeders. I will actively add more to this list whenever I can. I am not affiliated with any of these companies.
I’ve seen several topics asking about reputable seed breeders both here and on other forums so I wanted to make a specific post to address this commonly asked question.
“Where can I find reputable seed breeders with strong genetics?”
There is an overwhelming amount of breeders available online and it’s hard to figure out which ones are selling strong genetics vs. the ones selling dirt. Everyone has their opinions but this is what I have found so far in my research & from personal experience.
// Seedsman Seeds - General
A reputable source for seeds supplied by various breeders from around the world. I live in Canada and have ordered from them several times without issue. They ship globally and the packaging is discreet if that’s a concern for you. I would recommend Seedsman to anyone new to cannabis cultivation because it gives you a huge variety to choose from and introduces you to a bunch of different breeders.
// Square 1 Genetics - Premium

All I can say is, wow! I haven’t been lucky enough to snag any seeds from these guys yet but they have some outstanding genetics. Their Instagram page speaks for itself but I have also seen it in action from a friend who first mentioned them to me and again, wow! That being said, if you’re a beginner I wouldn’t recommend starting here. Growing premium genetics also requires a very strong skill set for the plants to reach their full potential. Don’t assume your crop will be next level just because the genetics are!
This is their most recent IG post:
// Dinafem Seeds - Premium
Another top breeder in my opinion. Quality genetics, highly regarded, home growers can’t go wrong with these guys.
// Mephisto - Premium
Mephistso is a great buy and you’ll rarely if ever be disappointed in the quality. The genetics are solid and they produce highly reliable, consistently good plants. I have heard nothing but great feedback about Mephisto throughout the community. Especially about their Autoflowers!
// Humboldt Seeds
Reputable breeder, quality genetics. Great choice for anyone!
// Sebring Seeds - FREE

Yes! That’s right, free!
I came across this legend on Instagram and I thought it was a joke. Turns out, it’s legit. This guy gives all his seeds away for FREE, the only thing you need to pay for is shipping. There are several strains to choose from but when they drop they move FAST so you need to be quick. I have personally ordered and received a pack of 15 seeds from him. I haven’t popped them yet but I will start a post when I do.
There is a 2 strain limit on your purchase. Packs vary between 5-15 seeds. All FREE!
Honestly, I debated whether I was going to post this one but this guy is doing what he can to help people and I’m not going to selfishly hoard everything for myself.
This is a tiny fraction of the breeders available and I will do my best to keep this up to date. If I find some fire genetics I will post it asap!
I think most of these are available on the Seedsman website but always check the individual breeder’s websites as well!
Hope this helps!
