Short on time? Here’s my Blimburn Seeds review for 2024
Blimburn Seeds is a high-quality seed bank with completely unique top-notch strains for affordable prices. However, the company’s lack of information, lack of payment options, and the prior inability to ship to America may dissuade some customers from buying from them.
If you want to buy from a seed bank that has fast shipping to the USA, excellent customer service, and lots of payment options, then I would recommend using ILGM or Weed Seeds Express.
Continue reading for a full list of the pros and cons of ordering from them, and to see how they stack up against the best seed banks to order from.

Blimburn Seeds Alternatives
This Blimburn Seeds review is part of my seed bank reviews series. I am reviewing popular seed banks to see which ones are worth using and which ones are not.
Here are the results so far…
Is Blimburn Seeds Safe?
Yes, Blimburn Seeds is safe!
They have been verified as a legitimate seed bank by the countless third-party seed banks they source seeds to and by their loyal following of customers, totaling over 78,000 on Facebook.
History & Reputation
Blimburn Seeds is a Spanish seed bank that was founded in 2002.
They were created with the goal to breed completely unique strains with top-notch genetics, high psychoactive levels, and the maximum amount of stability.
There isn’t a lot of information on the foundation of the seed bank or the people behind it.
This in large part is due to the lack of effort they put into marketing or encouraging online reviews.
I found the lack of information on them unsettling, since buying from online seed banks can be very touch-and-go, and as a consumer, you want the most possible assurance that your investment is safe.
However, they have been recognized by numerous marijuana blogs and professionals for having legitimately quality seeds.
Seed Quality
Blimburn’s main focus is quality, they strive for the perfect flavor, potency, production, and psychoactive effect levels.
They spend years developing seeds and take extra measures to ensure the quality fo their seeds, like packaging them once every 2 months to ensure their freshness and breeding plants from seeds instead of cuttings.
Blimburn has a catalog of strains that include old European glories and replicated strains from the US, that they have bred and finessed using their very own gene stock.
Their seeds are stable and pure, producing powerful crops that do not need a vegetative growth cycle but rather can pass directly to cycles of 18 hours of light.
However, as quality as their seeds are, they do not have a listed germination guarantee, which in my opinion, is the best way for a company to stand behind the quality of their seeds.
For example, I Love Growing Marijuana has a strong 100% Germination Guarantee because they know their seeds are good.
They have even been reported to replace full orders when only a couple of seeds go bad.
Seed Selection
Blimburn Seeds offers completely unique quality strains. They offer feminized, autoflowering, and CBD seeds.
Their offerings are:
- 11 Feminized American Seeds
- 8 Original Feminized Seeds
- 11 Certified Feminized Seeds
- 2 American Autoflowering Seeds
- 3 Original Autoflowering Seeds
- 7 Certified Autoflowering Seeds
- 1 CBD Feminized Seed
- 1 CBD Autoflower Seed
They have a pretty solid selection of over 40 seeds.
While this is a reasonable amount of strains, if you are looking for even more selection, check out Herbies Seeds and Seedsman which both have strain varieties in the thousands.
Seed Prices
The prices of Blimburn’s seeds are very fair, especially considering the quality of the strains.
Below is a breakdown of Blimburn Seeds’ prices compared to other seed banks.
Girl Scout Cookies Price Comparison
Obviously, Seedsman has the cheapest seeds.
Because they are a weed superstore, with thousands of strain options, they are able to charge less for their seeds.
However, considering Blimburn’s small selection, their prices not being that far off from Seedsman’s is very impressive.
- Blimburn Seeds 9 Feminized Girl Scout Cookies are $81.20 That’s $9.02 a seed.
- Seedsman – 10 Feminized Girl Scout Cookies are $64.19 That’s $6.42 a seed.
- MSNL – 10 Feminized Girl Scout Cookies are $116.60 That’s $11.60 a seed
Payment Methods
You can pay for seeds with your card or bank transfers.
To pay with a card, after you “purchase” the seeds you will be sent a link.
You can then use the link to enter your card information and pay.
This is the quickest way to pay because your payment will be processed within 24 hours of that business day.
While paying with a card is definitely not the most discreet way to pay, Blimburn keeps it lowkey by appearing on your statement as “Mixart – Merchandising.”
For bank transfers, you will receive an email with Blimburn’s bank transfer details.
Transfer the total amount requested without bank fees.
Transfers can take 1-3 days to process so this is definitely the slower method.
While it’s convenient that they include the card option, they not including payment options like
PayPal or Bitcoin is definitely frustrating.
Replacement Seeds
Blimburn does have a pretty strong replacement seed policy- if you are a frequent customer.
If you have bought from Blimburn before they will replace the seeds you were unhappy with in your next order, free of charge.
If you don’t want to wait until the next order, you can ask them for a flexible replacement.
If you are a new customer who is unhappy with their seeds and wants a replacement or refund you have to notify Blimburn within 14 days of delivery.
They will ask for pictures or for you to send them so they can further investigate the situation.
If you want a fast replacement you have to pay for shipping and replacement seed fees:
- Fee per replaced seed: 2,50€ per seed
- Economy shipping: 7€ (takes 2 – 4 weeks)
- Premium Shipping: Depends on Your Country
While it’s nice that Blimburn offers deals and steps to take to replace and refund seeds, their policy is unimpressive compared to other seed banks who replace disappointing seeds free of charge, like I Love Growing Marijuana.
In fact, I Love Growing Marijuana is so committed to their 100% Germination Guarantee that they give you 20% free weed seeds with each order.
Blimburn Seeds Customer Service
Blimburn is as basic a seed bank as it gets, so they make few promises when it comes to their customer service.
They have a Contact Form for reaching out to customer service but provided no phone number which is less than ideal considering that talking on the phone about growing problems can be much more productive than communicating back and forth over email.
They do promise to answer all queries through the communication form by the end of the next business day.
They also have an active social media presence with Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter accounts.
Otherwise, the lack of promises they make about their customer service, and the lack of reviews on it, reveal little about how good it is.
If you want to ensure that the seed bank you buy from has great customer service, buy from I Love Growing Marijuana, they provide friendly, fast replies to questions and go above and beyond to make sure customers are happy.
Shipping
Blimburn seeds ships to Austria, Belgium, Canada, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Malta, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, United States.
They are based in the US and are widely regarded as one of the best seed banks in the world, with a great selection, 100% germination guarantee, and premium seeds.
Discreet Delivery
They use discreet packages and have guaranteed delivery.
If you don’t get your parcel they will refund and replace your order.
If you decide you no longer want your order after it never arrives at your home, then they will refund the total amount.
Shipping Cost
They do not list the cost of shipping on their website which is frustrating, nor do they list any deals on shipping if you spend a certain amount.
When I looked, it seems shipping comes out around the 15 – 25 euro range which is fairly pricey.
Shipping Times
The shipping times they listed on their website were:
- Europe and US: 1 – 3 business days
- Canada: 2 – 5 business days
They provide a tracking number with each shipment which is nice.
Blimburn Seeds Review
With top-notch, completely unique strains, affordable prices, and an excellent return policy, Blimburn seeds has a lot going for it.
I would give them a favorable review but with their lack of information online and the lack of payment options, you may want to check out other seed banks.

I live in America and order from Blimburn alot and have never had a problem. i usually get my order in 4 working days or less.
If you don’t ship to America, why tease me with adds?
Lol, they probably just advertise all over the place t raise their profile. ILGM and WeedSeedsExpress both ship from inside the US – I recommend that anyone in the US use them!
They do ship to America, they have a hub in NYC lol. They also have over 900 strains, ship free over 70 dollars (literally anywhere), and all orders in the US come with free delivery and germination guarantees. I’m not sure where this author got their info, but they’ve clearly never even visited the website. I’ve got a pile of seeds coming from them day after tomorrow, they ship within 1 business day of your order.
The review has been updated to reflect that they do now ship to the US and your experience with them. Thanks for your comment!
This is my eleventh year of growing indoors with a super closet grow box. I messed up everything for the first 2 or 3 seasons. Sorry to say, but true. This is my first order from Blimburn seeds. I must say that when i received them the first thing I noticed was how immature they looked. I never complain about stuff but dang. They had a BOGO thing going so i ordered some. Out of 5 that I started. Only 1 has popped. I know everyone is going to say that it is my screw-up, so let it be but I have never tried to pop such young seeds. When one orders from a place at half price … Understand you get what you pay for.
Not at all Rusty. I’ve been stung by poor-quality seed banks several times, which is why I only use WeedSeedsExpress now. Only had good results with them.
Sorry to hear about your bad experience with Blimburn Rusty. CHeap seeds are always tempting but in my experience never worth the hassle they cause.
I’ve been looking at their selection of strains and it did look quite impressive. That’s about as good as it got. Their BOGO deal doesn’t make any sense(they claim I get free seeds but the math says I’m paying for it). Their site has insane issues as I cannot add items into the shopping cart and their support team is pushing that I solve the issue by creating an account after all their other advice failed. Received a promo for registering for their newsletter only to find out I can’t use it(nothing about exclusionary details when I got it) just a gimmick to get me to their site and shop. Oh, and no phone contact possible. Not impressed and will be getting my seeds elsewhere.
I had all good experiences up till I started flowering.(blimburn seeds),Apple Fritter auto. I picked four she/males out of the twenty three I started, now I have seventy seven seeds useless to me! I am one out of four so far ordering seeds! I do not think that is RIGHT. My time , money, and electricity. I have been doing this for A very long time. I have my own auto regular seeds very high in thc level, if I have to go threw them and pick males out I mise well stick with them.
Placed a small order with Blimburn and was shorted 4 seeds of a specific variety. When I emailed them explaining the situation, was told we sent you the full order and communication came to an end. The emails I received from them almost seemed automated and never felt like it was a real person trying to sort out the issue. I finally filed a dispute with my credit card company and suddenly received an email from them trying to sort out the issue. Will never order from this company again based on their terrible customer service. Save yourself the trouble and purchase seeds elsewhere.
This information is inaccurate. Blimburn does deliver to the US. I’m there. Got mine…..they also have over 5 different ways to make payment. Next time you write a review do your research. Be truthful. A false review can effect companies negatively. They don’t deserve that. All my Blimburn seeds popped within a day.
In spite of the 2023 year reference, this is an old review in terms of payment and shipping. I checked their website and you are correct. This website will be amended. Apologizes that the changes weren’t noticed sooner.
We just ordered directly from Blimburn since they have great looking flower and we’re putting on their BOGO sale. We had another order ready to purchase but wanted to wait until we received our first order and needless to say, their seeds came like it was packaged in a garage. We received our 4 different strains plus one free pack of seeds all in vials with a label wrapped around them and in one pack. Then when you choose cash app to pay it says you will get 3 free seeds. We did not receive those. It’s a cheap lazy way and not a good way to start off rebranding.
Don’t do it. I went for the “all strains BOGO”, and the largest item, of course, did NOT get BOGOed. I immediately informed them to save them from extra postage replacement, and they admitted THEIR mistake, which was clearly reflected on the bill, but would only replace with a coupon for a later order (which even then I was ok with at first) but only IF I SENT A PHOTO OF THE MISSING SEEDS. THAT’S THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH! I NEEDED PHOTOS OF MISSING SEEDS! When I tried to leave a review for them, which was entirely professional, but obviously not positive, they of course didnt print it.
I always bought my seeds from ILGM but since a couple of years I have switched to Blimburn Seeds, their catalog is amazing. The customer service and the different payment methods have pleased me, these guys are working hard. High THC Seeds.
Fck! I have saved a great deal of money buying here at blimburnseeds.com over 960 crazy strains! so far they have all germinated and super fast shipping. Good feminized seeds, good team !
I grow blimburn seeds I bought from North atlantic seed bank and the gush mintz I bought germinated and flowered perfectly some of the stickiest dankest bud I’ve grown and I got more from them oreoz and apples and bananas and it’s gonna be yall don’t know what your doing Blimburn the goat bro
I bought 6 CBD seeds from Blimburn Seeds (AC/DC) and they all serially failed to develop beyond sprouting. Unfortunately, It was only then that I re-examined their website – THEY OFFER NO GUARANTEE FOR WHAT THEY SELL NOR DO THEY LIST ANY CUSTOMER SATISFACTION POLICY. My mistake was in not noticing that Red Flag BEFORE I ordered.
They responded to my email(s) by offering to replace 3 of those seeds IF I ORDERED MORE SEEDS. Send them more money?!! This is not how a legitimate vendor operates. Beware!
the are a scam. I purchased seeds as well and have grown for over 25 years. I had other seed sprout and nothing happened and I waited a month now and still nothing and their customer support sucks. who would take a video of what you do ever day for 5-7 days and I don’t recall saying you had to do this for their guarantee. what a waste of time & money. everyone stay away
I bought seeds from Blimburn this growing year (2024) and I am highly disappointed. They had an extremely low germination rate, and those that did (with the exception of Black Widow strain) did not produce rapid growing, healthy plants. I am chalking it up as a loss and moving on to a previous more expensive Bank. I guess that you get what you pay for.
