YES THAT’S THE ANSWER! Smiley Frequently Asked Questions

Got a question? A query? A desire to know more? A Smiley FAQ, if you will. Then look no further, my FAQs which you’ll find below should answer just about anything and everything you need to know. If I’ve happened to miss something, then no worries, just get in touch with me directly and I’ll get that answered for you!

  • How many seeds come in a Smiley’s pack of seeds?
    • Smiley Seeds are now available in 1+1 Seeds, 3+1 Seeds and 25 Seeds packs. 1 + 1 does not equal a rugby post it = 2 seeds per pack. The same logic applies for my 3+1 = 4 seeds per pack. I also have a straight up bigger farmers pack at 25 seeds in a single pack. 
  • Why the do I have to confuse things with the +1 on my pack labels?
    • Because despite what some folk think my seeds aren’t that cheap and I still do need to make some dollar here. The extra seed, +1 is on me. So in the very unlucky misfortunate event when you followed my germination technique to the T and you got unlucky with that 1 out of 100 non-viable seeds, I've already made up for it. 
  • Why are Smiley Seeds more affordable?
    • I’m not greedy! My seeds are sourced directly from my friends, the breeders. No middlemen! I buy bakkie loads of seeds at better prices and pass the saving onto my loyal fan base. And you’re also not paying for the Gucci brand name, but still getting the same great quality beans.
  • What are Smiley Coins?
    • When you make a purchase I give you a percentage of your order value back in Smiley Coins. Think of Smiley Coins as the Cherry on top, that extra something something to seal our next deal. Expect to receive 5% back but it does go up or down depending on the promo I’m running. I’ll keep them tucked away safely in your Smiley Wallet which you welcome to check on anytime. You’ll find it in your user details. Sweet.
  • Do I wholesale?
    • When i started out I didn't but as time went due to popular demand with the workload becoming too much I enlisted the help of trusted inner circle to spread the love. You can find a list of my trusted authorised resellers here.
  • Can I buy weed seeds if I’m not 18?
    • No! And you shouldn't be reading this either.
  • What am I selling here?
    • Smileys Seeds is a South African seed bank that specialises in the sale of high-quality cannabis seeds, aka dagga seeds, weed seeds, marijuana seeds or beans. I almost forgot; I have some really dope merch on its way too. Got any cool suggestions? I'm all ears.
  • Why am I doing this?
    • Because I want to. My mission is to make A-1 quality cannabis seeds of awesome genetics readily available for all South African adults to grow at home. 
  • How many plants can I grow in my private space?
    • For now, as many as you want. My advice: keep it tidy and out of site.
  • Are seeds legal in South Africa?
    • That’s a tough one to answer. I guess with the current state of affairs, since the ruling, it’s all up to interpretation. You are allowed to grow in your home, you need seeds to do that! That’s where I come in. Hiding behind selling bird seed and souvenirs doesn’t fly in South Africa. Anyone telling you they imported seeds legally in sealed breeders packs is also lying. Seeds need to be inspected before leaving a country and on arrival in South Africa, so how would that work?
  • Where are Smiley’s seeds from?
    • I have friends in Europe and the US. No name dropping here, nor do the breeders want me shouting out their names from rooftops. I refer to them as a collective - let’s leave it at that. I do not buy or sell what’s commonly referred to as “bulk seed” from unknown sources. I know where my beans are from, how and who made them.
  • Why no germination guarantee?
    • What? I do offer a *germination guarantee. The excuse that it is always the grower’s fault is bs and does not fly with me.
  • What’s the best technique to germinate seeds?
    • Keep it simple, follow my germination for dummies *guide and you’ll be good to grow.
  • Do you include FREEBIE seeds with my order?
    • Hell no! I’ve already slashed the prices down to rock bottom. My missus will have me and my plants out on the street. The +1 is not a freebie per say its included in the pack. Wink wink!
  • How should I store my seeds?
    • It’s not rocket science. Maintain a constant cool temperature between 4 and 11 degrees with little to no humidity and in the dark. Avoid heat, water, and light. If stored optimally, seed germ rates will only start to drop off after 3 to 5 years. Seeds of 10 plus years have been known to germinate. Put the little guys with silica gel packs in a rubber sealed glass jar or lock Tupperware container in a cool dark cupboard/fridge. If you find yourself with a boat load of seeds, get a lab fridge from my friends at Minus 40.
  • What colour and size should a seed be?
    • How the seeds were bred and their genetics will impact both size and colour of the seed. Seeds come in different sizes and shades of brown to black and tiger’s eyes. I dont sell smaller white, grey or green immature seeds. My seeds are meticulously checked twice. If you find an immature seed please contact me immediately!
  • My feminized plant is a male WTF?
    • I’m not in the habit of selling bad seed. I only sell feminized seeds so there is no chance that my teammates sent you an incorrect reg seeds. So, it’s down to environmental stress that may have caused a female plant to Hermie, with heat spots under grow lights being the main cause. Also, the freak 1 in 2500 Autos seeds are male, consider yourself lucky if you have one.
  • What makes Smiley’s seeds good?
    • Because my seeds are the bomb! They deliver as advertised if grown under optimal conditions. The proof's in the flower.
  • Is it safe to assume that the seeds will grow exactly like you say?
    • The details about my cannabis seeds come directly from my breeder friends. They nurtured these plants indoors under optimal conditions. Consider it a helpful guide for choosing a strain, but please be aware that I'm not liable if the strain doesn't meet your expectations. I am confident, though, that you are going to be super stoked with the end results.
  • Where do you ship to?
    • Smiley Seeds is a proudly South African cannabis seed bank. If you’re in South Africa, I’ll get you your seeds asap! It took me a great deal of effort to get the seeds into SA, so no, I don’t send orders outside of our borders! If you want my seeds, you will need to arrange for a friend to forward them onto you.
  • Do I sell hemp seeds?
    • Technically speaking yes, as cannabis seeds do not contain THC making them a hemp product. But if you are referring to industrial hemp seeds sold by the kilogram, not a chance you will find that here.
  • What makes seeds bad?
    • It all comes down to the breeding process. The quality of the genetics used. The age of the seeds. How the seeds have been stored. Bottom line, know your seed plug! Always do your homework. Do not get caught with your pants down - you don’t want to end up buying bird seed, old seeds, seeds that banana (hermi), or seeds that have been sitting in a shop display cabinet.
