Quality and Selection of Freebie Seeds

According to discussions in cannabis enthusiast communities, most freebie seeds are not particularly special. They are typically run-of-the-mill high-demand strains that breeders have in large quantities. However, some customers report finding very special plants from single freebie seeds.

The approach to seed buying has evolved, with more breeders directly offering freebies with their orders. Some seed banks are stepping up their freebie offerings compared to previous years when Nirvana and Dinafem freebies were more common. Examples mentioned include getting real Cindy from Grimm, which is valued even if it's Cindy XX, and Blueberry Gum.

Eligibility and Redemption Process

The process for claiming breeder freebies varies by retailer but generally follows these patterns:

1. Automatic Addition: Some freebies are automatically added to qualifying orders at checkout.

2. Selection at Checkout: Many retailers require customers to select their freebies during the checkout process. If customers don't make a selection, the retailer cannot guarantee what freebie they will receive or if they will receive one at all.

3. Qualification Requirements: Most freebies require purchasing a specific number of packs or reaching a certain purchase amount. For example:

   • Buy 2 packs to qualify for a freebie
   • Spend a specific dollar amount ($80, $90, $100) to qualify

4. Stock Limitations: All promotional items are limited to stock on hand and may be changed without notice. Freebies that are out of stock will not appear in the customer's cart.

5. Exclusions: Some promotions exclude specific products like fundraiser packs.

Non-Cannabis Breeder Support

While most of the freebie information relates to cannabis seed breeding, one source (BreederWise) offers personal support for dog breeding programs. This service includes:

1. Advice on setting up breeding programs, breeding dogs, or raising puppies
2. Creation of professionally written documents or forms specific to breeder needs
3. Program assessment and planning services for those starting out
4. In-person assessment of breeding facilities to determine efficient space usage

Services are offered on a fee basis, with fees starting at $25.00 per 30 minutes for document creation and customized quotes for program assessments.

Conclusion

The cannabis seed industry offers numerous freebie programs and promotional opportunities for breeders, growers, and collectors. These range from free seed packs with qualifying purchases to discount multi-packs and promotional items. Customers should review each breeder's specific terms, as eligibility requirements, redemption processes, and stock availability vary. While many freebie seeds are common strains, some customers report discovering exceptional genetics through these programs. For those seeking personalized support in animal breeding, professional services are available on a fee basis.
