The landscape of promotional offers in the cannabis seed industry includes a variety of freebies and bonus seeds provided by seed banks and breeders. These promotions are typically structured as incentives for purchasing specific seed packs or for ordering certain types of seeds. The available information details several distinct promotional programs offered by U.S.-based seed banks, outlining the specific freebies, eligibility requirements, and conditions associated with each offer.
Understanding Seed Bank Freebie Structures
Promotional offers in the cannabis seed market are generally tied to purchase requirements. The most common model involves receiving free bonus seeds when a customer buys a pack from a specific breeder or seed type. The details of these promotions are often outlined on the seed bank’s website under a promotions or freebies section.
For example, one promotion offers two free, randomly selected seeds from the Humboldt Seed Organization. This offer is triggered when a customer buys any pack from the Humboldt Seed Organization. The free seeds are randomly selected from a list of specific strains: Mouth Wash, Banana Sapphire, Blue Dream, Chocolate Mint OG 2.0, White Runtz Fast Flowering, and Peanut Butter Breath Fast Flowering. The randomness of the selection means the customer cannot choose which strains they receive as part of this promotion.
Another seed bank employs a tiered system for its freebies, which are based on the type of seed purchased. The bank categorizes its freebies into two main bundles: one for photoperiod seed orders and another for autoflower seed orders. This structure ensures that the freebies are relevant to the type of cultivation the customer is pursuing.
Photoperiod and Autoflower Order Freebies
Seed banks often differentiate their promotional bonuses based on the biological type of the seeds ordered. This allows them to provide freebies that match the customer’s intended use.
For photoperiod seed orders, the freebie bundle includes: - A free 3-pack of Grass Skirt Seeds “FREEBIE PACK” Feminized Photoperiod seeds. - A free 3-pack of DNA Genetics “BISCOTTI SHERB x HONEY BANANA” Feminized Photoperiod seeds.
For autoflower seed orders, the freebie bundle is different: - A free 5-pack of “PEANUT BUTTER STUTTER” (Peanut Butter Breath x Sugar Titz) Regular seeds with every 808 Genetics pack ordered. - A free additional 5-pack of “SOUR GARLIC CANDY” (GMO x Runtz BX2) Regular seeds with every 808 Genetics pack ordered. - A free 12+ pack of either “SHERM HEMSLEY” or “THISTLE BEACH” Regular seeds with every Bean Drop Genetics pack ordered. - A free 5-pack of “ZAWTZ x SPRITZER BX2” Regular seeds with every Cannarado order. - A free additional 5-pack of “GUSHERS × SPRITZER BX2“ Regular seeds with every Cannarado order. - A free 10-pack of “CRAB APPLE” (GMO x Sour Apple IBL) Regular seeds with every Colonial Farms pack ordered. - A buy-one-get-one (BOGO) offer on all Colonial Farms packs—buy one, get an additional pack of the same kind free. - A free 6-pack of “MOON BLOW” (Moon Bow 112 x Blow Pops BX1) Regular seeds with every Envy Genetics order. - A free “V5 AUTO” Feminized Autoflower seed with every ETHOS Autoflower pack ordered.
It is important to note that if a customer’s cart contains both photoperiod and autoflower seeds, the freebies will match whichever seed type was added to the cart first. This policy ensures that one freebie bundle type is applied per order; customers do not receive both photoperiod and autoflower freebies on a single purchase.
Breeder-Specific Bonus Offers
Beyond the general seed bank freebie bundles, many breeders include their own specific bonus seeds with the purchase of their packs. These breeder-specific freebies are in addition to the standard freebie bundles offered by the seed bank.
Several breeders have distinct promotions: - Savage Genetics: A free 3-pack of “GELLY CREAM CAKE” Feminized seeds is included with each Savage Genetics pack ordered. - Mosca Seeds: A free 3-pack of “RASPBERRY RIPPLE” (Sherbert Ripple x Raspberry Boogie) Feminized photoperiod seeds is provided with each Mosca Seeds order. - Wolfpack Selections: A free 3-pack of Feminized seeds is included with every Wolfpack Selections pack ordered. The specific strains for this freebie are randomized and may include GARY PAYTON x (BCC x JEALOUSY) or ZOOKIES x (BCC x JEALOUSY). - ETHOS Genetics: A free “CHERRY DIESEL” (Cherry Punch x Lilac Diesel #22) Feminized Photoperiod seed is included with every ETHOS Genetics pack ordered. - Fat Cat Labs: A free 5-pack of “SCREAM CREAM” (Red Pop x Maximum Carnage) Regular seeds is provided with each Fat Cat Labs pack ordered.
These breeder-specific offers are subject to availability. The documentation notes that if a specific freebie is not added to the cart at checkout, it means the seed bank has run out of that particular bonus. Some freebies are pre-sealed, and the customer does not know which specific strain they will receive until the order is fulfilled.
Key Policies and Conditions
Several important policies govern the distribution and selection of freebies. These rules are designed to manage inventory and clarify customer expectations.
- Random Selection: Many of the free seeds are randomly selected from a list of strains. For instance, the Humboldt Seed Organization freebies are randomly selected from six specific strains. Similarly, the freebies from Wolfpack Selections are randomized and may include one of several possible strains.
- Availability Constraints: The availability of freebies is not guaranteed. The documentation explicitly states that if a freebie is not added to the cart at checkout, the seed bank has run out of that particular item. This highlights the importance of checking the current promotions page at the time of purchase.
- Order Type Matching: The seed bank’s policy is to match the freebie bundle to the seed type in the order. Photoperiod orders receive photoperiod freebies, and autoflower orders receive autoflower freebies. Mixed orders result in freebies based on the first seed type added to the cart.
- One Bundle per Order: Customers receive one freebie bundle type per order. They cannot combine the photoperiod and autoflower freebie bundles on a single purchase.
Conclusion
The available data outlines a structured system of freebies and promotional offers within the cannabis seed industry. These promotions are primarily purchase-based, requiring the acquisition of specific seed packs to trigger the receipt of bonus seeds. The offers are categorized by seed type (photoperiod vs. autoflower) and are often supplemented by breeder-specific bonuses. Key conditions include random selection of some strains, availability constraints, and policies that match freebies to the order type. Consumers interested in these offers should review the specific terms on the seed bank’s promotions page at the time of their purchase to understand the current freebies available and their associated conditions.
