Fast Buds if your seeds are so "american"...

[thumpthing]

why do you refuse to sell directly to americans?

I presume the genetics are U.S. sourced where claimed, but that does not mean the company even has any US-based operations, which is what you are apparently presuming. Are you sure that Fast Buds does not actually produce their seeds in Spain like seemingly most every seed company?

The more US-based the company is, the more I can understand it seeking (needing to) avoid directly selling to US customers. There are presumably good federal-level illegality-based reasons why there seemingly are no US-based cannabis seed companies (doing both manufacturing and distribution themselves within the US). Can anyone cite any decent-sized (not 1 or few persons) cannabis seed companies operating in the U.S.? If nothing else, how and where in the U.S. could a company legally do seed breeding, testing and production at needed high volumes?

Also, even where U.S. states have legalized commercial growing, don't they just license growing of cannabis, not cannabis seeds manufacturing? Does any state allow manufacture of seeds for interstate transport (out-of-state sales), much less export and international sales? I presume states are all wimps and simply avoid getting involved in or outright consider it still illegal to manufacture and market cannabis seeds, particularly for out-of-state sales, which would be required to have a "U.S" seeds company.

There are several major seed companies that are well respected and well known world wide, just in the Emerald Triangle area of Cali alone. I mean, the who's who of breeding.. Not just random pollen chuckers..

I think his the point the post was trying to make is that Fast Buds markets their seeds as "American Made Autoflowers".. (Its their tag line) But yet you can't order from them directly if you live in America. I've personally questioned that marketing strategy for years myself.. I guess certain other countries must think highly of American genetics..

I only am familiar with autoflower-carrying seed companies. Are these CA-based "major seed companies" actually both growing and selling seeds themselves vs. having some insulation, having others do the marketing/distribution to end-users? And are these US-distributing "major"companies actually major players, such as do any have actual R&D departments/labs., such as I recall Dutch Passion and Dinafem have?

I just noticed that CA-based Humboldt Seeds does not itself sell its seeds to end-users, who must go through "retailers" located in just 4 U.S. states (besides the international seed selling companies which the Web site omits even mentioning). So like I said, there must be good legal-related problems that keep US-based seed manufacturers from directly marketing their products US-wide.

Do you know the names of any of them and if they sell directly

Fast Buds tag line is American Autoflowers. Not American made, that's an important distinction to make, they use American genetics but don't claim to be American made. They're Spanish

I only am familiar with autoflower-carrying seed companies. Who are these CA-based "major seed companies," and are they really major if they don't breed and sell many or maybe any autoflower strains? Are these CA-based "major seed companies" actually both growing and selling seeds themselves vs. having some insulation, having others do the marketing/distribution to end-users? And are these actually "major" companies, major players, such as do any have actual R&D departments/labs., such as I recall Dutch Passion and Dinafem have?

Lots of questions, lol. Let's see here..

A#1: Afcianado, CSI Humbolt, Emerald Mountain, Riot Seed Co., MeanGene, etc..

A#2: Yes they are major, to anyone you ask in the industry, whether or not they make autos (which they do not make or sell autos). All have won cups from all around the globe.

A#3: Yes and No.. All of the breeders/seed companies I mentioned have websites to buy direct.. They also use seed banks. Im sure they have marketing teams as well (to some degree, some are known enough to not need marketing)

A#4: R&D? Labs? Lol.. If you mean having decades of history, while growing acres of cannabis in the best outdoor climate in America, and testing it. Then yes.. If you mean, weed nerds walking around A building in white lab coats, holding beakers.. Then no, lol.

Keep in mind that autos are not considered commercial crops yet.. They are a quick way to make a dollar.. But you can't do much testing or preserving of an auto.. So Im not sure what type of R&D you may be thinking of.

As far as I know , seeds have very little if any thc and therefore like hemp is legal in the US- especially if sold as souvenirs or to collectors
