As outdoor cannabis growers and backyard gardeners get ready for the 2025 season, an increasing array of cannabis seeds and clones is available in many provinces.

British Columbia carries seeds from BC growers like Weathered Islands Craft Cannabis and Kootenay Aeroponic Inc., as well as Alberta’s ANC Inc., under the banners Bag Seed Co. and 34 Street Seed Co.

Some stores in the province also carry cannabis clones offered through BC’s direct delivery system, which allows small-scale BC producers to ship products directly to retailers. 

In Q1 2024, which covered April, May, and June, BC sold $94,598 worth of seeds (4,460 units) through their central warehouse, as well as $1,162 worth of seeds (53 units) and $59,491 worth of plants (2,537 units) through direct delivery. 

In Alberta, stores can carry seeds from Weathered Islands, 34 Street, and HomeGrow with Freedom from Ontario’s Montrose Cannabis and Edmonton’s Palm Gardens.

In Saskatchewan, stores carry seeds from 34 Street and Bag Seed Co., BC’s Erbaceous and Pristine, Saskatchewan’s OneLeaf, Pristine, and Encore, as well as BC’s THC BioMed.

In Manitoba, no cannabis seeds or clones are yet available. While the province quietly passed legislation late last year repealing the previous government’s ban on growing cannabis at home, details on those rules and when they come into force are still unknown. A recent memo from the provincial regulator informed retailers they would “soon” be able to order seeds. 

In Ontario, home growers can choose seeds from HCBD Organics, Bag Seed Co., the Autoflower Breeders’ Club, Homegrow with Freedom, Automatic Ganja, Weathered Islands, and Green Rose Seeds. 

Quebec does not allow people to grow cannabis at home, so seeds are not available. 

Those who want to grow their own cannabis in New Brunswick can get seeds from brands like Green Rose Seeds, ECO N.B. Proudly Grown, and AAA Cuts. Clones are also available in New Brunswick cannabis stores on a limited time basis, annually, as well as through farmgate stores, including Canada’s only farmgate nursery located in Moncton.

In PEI, people can choose from Green Rose Seeds, 34 Street, Humboldt Seed Company, and Parkland Flower.

In Nova Scotia, the provincial retailer lists 12 varieties from 34 Street, while in Newfoundland and Labrador, there are three options from 34 Street. 

Retailers in Yukon carry Pristine Seeds, 34 Street, Humboldt Seed Company, and Dutch Passion. There are no seeds available in Nunavut or the Northwest Territories. 

This is not an exhaustive list. Did we miss a seed brand in your province? Let us know!

And, of course, we would be remiss if we didn’t acknowledge the numerous unregulated sources of cannabis seeds and genetics available in Canada, which is likely a factor in why there are not more options in the legal market.
