What Love Growing Weed Is
Love Growing Weed is an independent cannabis home-growing resource. We cover three things:
- Seed bank reviews. Real experiences buying from US-shipping banks. Shipping times, germination rates, strain selection, customer service, and whether each bank is worth the price.
- Strain picks and grow guides. Which strains are beginner-friendly, which are worth the hype, and how to actually grow them.
- State law explainers. What's legal where, with deeper coverage of Michigan since that's home base.
We do not sell seeds. We do not run grow operations. We are a publisher, not a vendor.
How We Review Seed Banks
Every seed bank review on this site is based on an actual order placed at retail price. We do not accept free seeds in exchange for reviews. We pay like any customer pays, and we test what any customer would test:
- Order process and payment options
- Shipping time and stealth packaging quality
- Germination rate of the actual seeds we bought
- Customer service response time and problem resolution
- Grow results across multiple plants
Reviews get updated when our experience changes. If a bank's quality slips or improves, the review reflects it. We do not delete negative findings to preserve affiliate relationships.
Editorial Standards
Three rules we follow on every piece of content:
- If we haven't tested it, we don't recommend it. Strain picks come from actual grow reports. Seed bank rankings come from actual orders.
- Every affiliate link is labeled. You always know when a link pays us. Disclosure is at the top of every page with affiliate content.
- Updates, not rewrites. Our articles get updated with new information, but we don't silently rewrite them. If something changes materially, we note the date and the change.
Affiliate Disclosure
Love Growing Weed participates in affiliate programs with seed banks and grow equipment vendors. When you click a link and buy something, we may earn a commission. This costs you nothing extra; the vendor pays us out of their marketing budget.
Affiliate relationships do not influence our reviews or rankings. We recommend what's best for the reader, not what pays us the most. Some of our top recommendations have no affiliate program at all, and we recommend them anyway.
Legal Disclaimer
Nothing on Love Growing Weed is legal, medical, or financial advice. Cannabis laws vary by state and change frequently. Federal law still classifies cannabis as a Schedule I controlled substance. Consult a licensed attorney for legal questions and a licensed physician for medical questions.
This site is intended for adults 21 and over. We do not recommend or describe illegal cultivation. Readers are responsible for understanding and complying with the laws where they live.
Who Writes This
Articles on Love Growing Weed are written by the Love Growing Weed Editorial team. Collectively we've been home growing since 2019, placing seed bank orders annually across multiple US-facing banks, and running indoor tents and outdoor grows in Michigan. The editorial byline is intentional: cannabis is still federally illegal, and protecting contributor privacy matters. That doesn't mean the information isn't real. It means the people sharing it have personal reasons for not putting their full names on the internet.
