About Us
Welcome to the D.C. Seed Exchange! We were founded in 2015 and are one of the oldest independent seed banks on the East Coast. Our focus is on rare and exotic breeder-certified genetics. Based in Washington, DC, our mission is to create a space showcasing genetics from the top breeders in North America and highlighting local talent from the Mid-Atlantic region.

If you are having issues germinating your seeds we suggest lightly scuffing the shell with 120 grit sandpaper before placing them in a shot glass filled with bottled water and a drop of hydrogen peroxide for 24-48 hours. If no tap roots are showing, place your seeds gently in a damp paper towel, storing them in a dark place (like a closet) for another 24-48 hours or until you see a tap root. Once you see a taproot, carefully transplant into the medium of your choice.
