One Million Seeds

One Million Seeds opened their site in 2014, though their website says they have thirty-seven years of experience in the cannabis industry. They’re based out of Brampton, Ontario which is a part of the Greater Toronto Area. They appear to ship worldwide, At time of publication they carried nineteen feminized strains, seven autoflowers, six unsexed regular, and eleven different high CBD or otherwise medicinal strains. They carry a lot of strains with black market name recognition, like Orange Bud, Train Wreck, Sour Diesel, Afghan, and Master Kush. Most of their seeds are available in threes, fives, tens, and twenty-five packs. The header for their website is organized into seed types, and clicking on the header itself takes you to a mainpage that describes for those unfamiliar what an autoflowering or feminized or unsexed seed is and then lists the ones they carry.

Some of the information pages on their seeds are very clear and well-written. They have headers that describe the plant traits, harvest and yields, tastes and smells of the buds, and effects of their ingestion. The tab format helps to keep the information streamlined and the page looking clean. The plant trait section talks about the estimated height of the plant, including its potential THC contents. The harvest and yield section is pretty self explanatory. Since this site is meant to be used for both recreational and medicinal patients, the effects section has a split of both recreational and medicinal effects. Some of the other strains are slightly less consistently written up, though there’s always a good few hundred words of information on each page. Some of their strains lack these easy to read and eye catching headers. Combined with the white writing on a black background, they don’t really inspire thorough reading. We recognize this is a design flaw and not really something significant. But when you’re selling a product, design can mean the difference between making a sale and a client losing interest. There’s also a place on each product page where customers can review the seeds they’ve bought so other potential buyers can get the inside scoop. You might know that we love it when seed banks give customers this option. One complaint we have about One Million Seeds is that much of their writing is done in prose style, but adheres to grammar rules for lists. This makes reading their blurbs confusing and clunky, since the writers haven’t bothered to use things like indefinite articles or casual speech. It feels a little cold and rushed. That being said, this is one of the easier to navigate cannabis websites we’ve seen, and it’s possible to scan a list of all of their strains simply by rolling over the dropdown menus on their main page. Especially for seed houses that have the kind of small run that these folks do, we find that’s one of the best ways to make your site stand out.
