I'm now a Pacific Northwest Grower; this February 2024 purchase was probably my fifth or sixth order from Hemp Depot (www.hempdepot.ca), and I paid by sending cash by mail. Hemp Depot sells seeds from numerous seed sources most of which you are likely familiar with including Dinafem, DJ Short, Green House, Humboldt, and Lucky 13.

I've been growing off-and-on for more than 50 years mostly in Texas, and I've purchased from many seed sources over the years. Unfortunately as many of you have probably discovered, many seed banks are not honorable seed purveyors.

I've had major difficulties growing outdoors in the Pacific Northwest despite moving here almost 3 years ago. I missed the first year grow because I moved here in July 2021, I was unable to plant in 2022 due to health issues, and unfortunately most varieties of last summer's grow were abject failures due to contamination from Mold. The plants that failed, however, were not from Hemp Depot as the seeds were mostly leftovers from my days in Texas. Thankfully, I did have some luck with some other seed lines that didn't develop the Grunge.

For this year's grow, Brad helped me select varieties that have shorter maturities along with lower susceptibility to Mold. The "10" rating above for Product Quality is not yet appropriate regarding the February 2024 purchase, but for all those other Hemp Depot purchases that led to primo weed. Fingers are crossed regarding the recently acquired seeds, and I'll provide an update after this season's grow.

Of Particular Note: if you type Hemp Depot into your favorite search engine, you will likely be directed either to a company (www.hempdepotco.com) that sells gummies, topicals, and CBD products or possibly directed to another company (www.hempdepotwholesale.com) that also sells CBD products. No offenses intended to either of those companies, but those companies are not the Hemp Depot that sells seeds that I've purchased from numerous times (www.hempdepot.ca). Hemp Depot sells seeds from numerous seed sources most of which you are likely familiar with including Dinafem, DJ Short, Green House, Humboldt, and Lucky 13.

By the way, I don't work for Hemp Depot, and I wasn't paid for my views. Finally, thank you to Seedfinder for its on-going due diligence regarding seed sellers in the Seedbank Reviews section.

Been ordering for yrs. all kinds of banks,Brad is prompt and polite res. to email,my order took 9 days to arrive and a whopping 17 to get to me. I inquired and was told that CA mail/customs is slow,and true to word the order showed. Brad is getting up there in yrs. and the business model is old school. If your looking for some unique he has some off the path breeders w/interesting genetics. I haven't popped the beans yet but they are all dark/mature if a bit small/could be the strains genetic however. Got a 2/1 on Chemdawg from HSO that is not stocked anywhere(prob old but are healthy looking),now the 2 off the path breeders Lucky 13 a small fam owned Canadian breeder w/solid old school worked lines for outdoor,and Beanhorder another Canadian w/alot of worked old lines also.

Crazy efficient and awesome customer service! Took a shot and ordered; received a reply right away with instructions etc. Love the etransfer- makes things SO easy. Beans in the mail with tracking. 5 days from order to delivery.….thumbs up! …all this while still waiting for seeds to arrive from another seed supplier for over a month and a half. Hope they germinate etc. but so far AWESOME experience

I’ve ordered for 20 plus years from HD. Seeds used to come in original packaging. Now they come in generic packaging. (White label seeds) I never knew good genetics until it was legalized in Virginia. I have now found fire genetics with another seed bank. No more HD for me. And HD freebies really suck. Freebies consist of regular seeds of shit you don’t want to grow.

I have been ordering from here for about 7 years. I had issues with the last few orders a total of 5 packs of about 20 packs of seed would not pop. Sent email asking about these old seeds that did not pop no response. These guys will accept your money fast and ship you dead seeds. Great work.

I mailed an order from California on July 6th. They received it on July 21st (over two weeks to get there!). Brad processed and shipped the order right away and I received my beans yesterday, July 28th, exactly one week from when he got my money order.

Brad responded to every email I sent. I checked in 9 days after mailing to see if he got my letter and he was polite. I got original breeder packs and the one "expensive" pack I got had a breeder security seal on it... looked official to me. I spent a couple hundos and got 15 free seeds.

That was my second order from Brad in 5 years. Both went good for me.

This is my second time ordering from Hemp Depot. The first time was about four years ago. I had no problem then and no problem this time either. I sent an email with an image of my order form before sending the money order. I do this to make sure I get a reply and find out if anything is wrong with the order or if any of my selections are out of stock.

It took fifteen days for my letter to get there. I got worried at day nine and sent an email asking if they received it. I got a reply the same day saying they hadn't, but the mail is slow due to "the VID". I got an email the day they got it saying they did and that my order would be processed right away... BIG SIGH OF RELIEF. The package was delivered to me exactly one week later.

I spent two hundred and wound up with the 52 seeds I paid for "and" 30 free seeds, most were extra of something I ordered so I AM STOKED! Several selections were in breeder packs, others were not. All the beans look healthy to me. Hemp Depot is legit and I will do business with them again no doubt. Green Thumbs Up!

Everything about this first order went as Hemp Depot promised Got free seeds I didnt know were coming, so I am obviously happy about that as well. Hemp Depot is a safe place to order from. I would place another order with them next time I was in need.

I had a lot of inquiries and they answered all of them so I decided to place my order. I ended up ordering on a Sunday and the Monday was a holiday! Seeds still came by the end of the week. I do live in the same country and on the same coast. Still, I was impressed. They came in a really well done bubble wrapped envelope. Also, as a bonus, maybe because I ordered a decent amount of seed, they threw in 5 freebie seeds. Indoor strain, probably average stuff, but who cares... free seeds are free seeds. Also, I ended up switching one of my seed choices based on their recommendations based off of questions I asked. They actually made a little less money because I was going to buy a more expensive strain, but they recommended something closer to what I had inquired about. No up-selling there. No problem with the seeds. Out of 20 seeds that I have used, only 1 did not germinate and it could have been my fault or a dud... youre still dealing with nature after all. Hope this helps.

One of THE best Seedbanks I have dealt with out of dozens and dozens transactions with others. Communication is outstanding, prices are very reasonable and the order arrives within a week or so after they have received payment. If you check it on the order form, they will even email you a scan of your package. I would recommend with absolutely no reservations, Ive just placed a large 2nd order and have found unique genetics there.

They are called hemp depot because most their offerings are nothing more than Marijuana pollen on feral hemp female plants.Good luck getting high. Fast service,good customer service till you confront brad, then he will stop responding.Look up info on feral hemp then look at what comes out of their seeds.Only sealed breeders packs of known companies might be legit, but they are probably old with a poor germination rate

Hemp Depot is great. Brad ships the seeds the same day hevrecieves your order. He ships a small bubblewrap envelope by regular mail which is stealthier than something you have to sign for. Ive also received FREE SEEDS with each order.

I have ordered twice from this op. Both times were excellent in all areas. Dare I say Most Excellent? But then, I live close. I am only here because they have changed their mailing address (name, actually) from a numbered company to "H. Depot". And THAT makes me wonder... Well yeah, and seeing a duck in the middle of the city makes me wonder, too.... Another order will be placed to this so-called "H. Depot" and I shall report back............. as long as I am still outside of the barred room.

They worked out well being my first encounter. I filled out the order form as instructed and mailed my m.o. from NW USA. Seven days later I got an email. Seven days after that I got my order just as described. Hopefully, the rest will work out. Business wise...everything went as advertised.

Jai toujours payé en argent comptant (2 a 4 dollars de plus vu que je paye en papier) et jai toujours eu un paquet de graine mixte(male-fem) au hasard en bonus. Je commande juste des féménisés.Cest le seul avec qui je fait et ferai affaire.Yé dure a battre.++++

Did not get full order and when asked why.? Get this, I was told that the seeds I got were worth twice what the catalogue said. So I get charged say 75 dollars for something marked 48. Then they kept the rest of the money. Nice people hey! CROOKS. Do not use them

ordered 10 strains from 4 different breeders. Everything arrived fast, customer service emails you to say your order was received and shipped. Only one seed out of 100 didnt pop. All strains were in sealed breeder packs except the canadian strains, which we still what they were supposed to be and off high quality..... i sent a money order from the bank, shipping was discreet and fast, obviously i live in canada so i dont know about what makes it out of the country, but i met a customs worker that said they would never confiscate seeds. hempdepot has very cheap, quality canadian bred strains!

I ordered a few packs of seeds from the Hemp Depot, 3 times. The first experience was perfectly fine as I got my seeds that I ordered. The second time was good as well with same results of seeds arriving in good condition. 3rd order was placed and received after waiting for specific stock to become available. On this 3rd order I did not receive the item I was waiting for. When I emailed the Depot to ask why they told me they were out of stock when I placed the order. I asked if they could send the seeds since they were obviously IN STOCK and they refused. I DID get seeds, just not what I ordered and when I asked about it I was refused customer service. I feel that they treated me unfairly after I contacted them about their screw up.
