The Seedsman story is one of ambition and love for cannabis. It all began in 2002 when two visionary cousins transformed their passion into a mission. Their goal? To unite the world's top breeders and seed collectors to safeguard the cannabis gene pool, which was at the time under siege by global prohibitionists. Their journey was nothing short of epic – globetrotting and web-surfing, relentlessly seeking seeds, wisdom, and cannabis culture. From these spirited beginnings, Seedsman evolved into a cannabis leader, a bastion of quality, integrity, and innovation at the forefront of the industry. Here, collectors and cultivators find an unrivalled treasure trove of authentic seeds from world-class breeders, alongside precious landrace strains, preserved by nature and gathered by local botanists.
The Seedsman Story
Founded in September 2002 by the enterprising cousins, Will and Tom, Seedsman began as a family venture and remains so today. Will, with his experience in hemp cultivation and product sales, and Tom, armed with knowledge from a university course in food marketing, were a formidable duo.
Their journey kicked off with a whirlwind of preparation – designing packaging, crafting a website, and creating marketing materials. Seedsman made its grand debut in March 2003 at the Cannatrade Show in Berne, Switzerland. The company's early image and branding was deliberately mainstream, aiming to resonate with a broad audience to reflect the diversity of people who love cannabis, rather than cling to a traditional hippy or stoner image. In an era where cannabis use crossed all societal boundaries, Seedsman's brand strategy was clear – to appeal to everyone, regardless of lifestyle.
The initial seed collection was an abundance of treasures from legendary cannabis breeder Sam The Skunkman, and boasted iconic strains like Original Skunk #1 and Original Haze, along with a diverse array of F1 hybrids. Seedsman swiftly expanded the catalog, adding classic strains like Mexican Sativa and Durban Poison, driven by a fervent commitment to preserve crucial genetics.
Growth was steady, yet the journey was not without its challenges. Will eventually stepped back to focus on family, leaving Tom to steer the Seedsman ship. Under his guidance, the company continued its steady ascent.
A pivotal moment came in 2005 when Tom discovered Lowryder, a groundbreaking Canadian strain by The Joint Doctor. This strain, with its rapid growth and flowering cycle, sparked immense interest and marked a new chapter in cannabis cultivation – autoflowering cannabis strains. Despite mixed initial reviews, Seedsman championed Lowryder and it soon took off, igniting a trend that would see other seed banks following suit.
In a volatile cannabis seed market often plagued by quality issues, Seedsman stands out as a trusted and superior quality supplier globally. Unlike the largely unregulated markets in Europe and the U.S., where scams and misrepresentations are common, Seedsman guarantees authenticity. We offer original, unaltered strains, directly from renowned breeders and seedbanks, ensuring no compromises in quality.
With the Seedsman Advantage, customers gain access to detailed, accurate information about each strain, aiding informed and confident purchasing decisions. Our transparency is further highlighted by displaying honest, unedited customer reviews, providing deep insights into our offerings. Customers are encouraged to share their experiences to enrich our review base.
