Shoppin’ Beans FAQs

What are “Autoflower” seeds?

Plants growing from autoflower seeds can do so independently of the photoperiod, meaning the ambient light cycle doesn’t matter. They can grow anywhere, but we recommend rearing them outside for the bulk of their growth period.

Why would I choose to buy Autoflower seeds?

Celebrated by the easy-growing groupies, autoflower is perfect for people who are dipping their toes in the home cultivation craft. Generally an easy-going plant, it is also prized for its small stature. So, growers interested in a more stealthy approach to their practice, or simply want to take up less space with their project, would prefer autoflowers. Also, due to their diva-free demeanor, they are favorable for their fast growth periods. Growers that are hoping for rapid yield would be attracted to this variety. 

What are “Feminized” seeds?

Feminized seeds boast an almost 100% yield of female plants. We recommend growing them in a controlled, indoor environment.

Why would I choose to buy Feminized seeds?

These are the seeds for growers with the buds-before-bros mindset. That is: achieving an ample yield of legal limit-potency THCa and consumable flower, while minimizing interference from male pollen. As such, they’re a cost-effective option for folks who want seeds specifically for a single, stellar crop.

What are “Regular” seeds?

Au naturale, as the plant would occur in the wild. Adult plants from these seeds have a 50/50 chance of being male or female. They are non-preferential in terms of growing inside or outside.

Why would I choose to buy Regular seeds?

For folks who want seeds from plants with very little genetic tinkering, regular seeds are the way to go. These buyers can dapple in their own strain-creation by accruing a pollen bank for DIY breeding projects. Regular seed consumers are typically already versed in the industry and excited to develop their muscles for creativity within the cannabis craft.

How do I know the seeds I received are of the strain I want?

Keep your friends close and your seed sources closer. That’s because we meticulously source our seeds from top-breeders and geneticists by the strain. We’ve curated an impeccable stash for every kind of grower with every kind of preference. Each seed is categorized by their type: either Autoflower, Feminized, or Regular. From there, you can go down a whole rabbit hole of filtrations.

What’s your return policy?

Our promise extends through our community of growers from a place of sincere respect for the product. While we have successfully replicated our approach innumerable times and work tirelessly to source the highest-possible quality seeds, it’s inescapable that planting and growing cannabis is a biological process. And so, not every seed will germinate! 

Customers can receive replacement seeds when:

(1) both seeds from a 2-count package do not germinate and/or 5 or more seeds from a 10-count package do not germinate; or,

If customers are eligible for replacement, Funky Beans will ship only the number of replacement seeds for those that did not germinate. Seeds that do not germinate due to grower deviation from the grow guide, or that are lost/damaged after receiving them, will not be replaced. 

If seeds have been damaged during shipping, please send a photo of your shipment to [email protected] within 21 days of receipt to receive replacement. For more information, view our Terms & Conditions.

What’s your exchange policy?

Unopened seed packages can be exchanged within 21 days of receiving them. Contact [email protected] to initiate an exchange.

Poppin’ Beans FAQs

How do I know my seeds are healthy?

All seeds will be thoroughly checked before shipment. However, it’s always good practice to check them yourself, too! Healthy seeds are brown and plump, sometimes with stripes. Unhealthy seeds are pale green or white.

How should I store my seeds?

Stick to the 40/40 rule! That’s 40% humidity at 40°F in a dark place for an expected shelf life of 12 months.

Does your grow method always work?

We’re not only committed to getting you the best seeds on the market, we also want you to feel confident rearing healthy, mature, harvestable cannabis plants. That’s why we put together this easy Beans-to-Green Grow Guide, making the craft of growing cannabis accessible to everyone.

And if you’re the kind of grower who values having more of an explanation for each directive, here’s our 6-step blog series “Beans-to-Greens Homegrown Cannabis: the Easy Funky Beans Method.

A part of the fun of growing any plant from seed is getting to experientially participate in a fascinating biological process. So, results are dependent on a litany of conditional and environmental factors. We’ve pulled from our immense collective experience to bring you a tried and tested method for controlling as many factors as possible to render consistent results. 

Follow our method, step-by-step, and enjoy the pride you’ll feel from growing your own greens.

Do I need special equipment to get started?

In short: yes. 

While it is absolutely possible to grow bud without special equipment, you’ll find it easier to control conditions and render more consistent results with quantitative values and exceptional products. 

You can read all about the use of these tools in each step of the 6-step blog series “Beans-to-Greens Homegrown Cannabis: the Easy Funky Beans Method.” But here’s a quick list of what we recommend: 

  • A PAR Meter like this one.
  • A device to monitor the temperature, relative humidity, VPD, PAR, and Co2. We recommend getting one that knocks out all these measurements at once like this one or a less expensive option like this one.
  • Proper lighting. There’s a full explanation on lighting options for each step in the blog series. But especially if you’re planning to grow inside, you’ll need to invest in grow lights that meet the needs of your plants. 
  • Growing medium, an inert soil is best for planting your seeds. 

Soil enriching agents. We swear by these products, which you can find directly in our Supplies Shop: Soil-Activating Mycrobes, Growth-Promoting Coconut Powder, and Organic Aloe Vera Flakes.

Is it legal to buy seeds and grow cannabis at home?

We dutifully comply with all industry regulations and standards. Purchasing THCa seeds is not illegal. Check with your local regulatory guidelines to see how you can adhere to your state’s specific laws for growing.
