Cannabis is becoming very popular among Australians, especially for medicinal purposes. In line with this trend, business are slowly emerging in the country to meet the demand for cannabis seeds.
When searching for Cannabis Seeds from Australia quite a few companies appear, but when you go to make a purchase, they send you to an overseas site? For example, weedseedsaustralia are obviously an affiliate site for herbies seeds which come from Europe. So you go there expecting to buy from an Aussie company only to find out you’re paying overseas and waiting up to 4+ weeks for your seeds and with all the risks of customs confiscation etc etc.
IS IT LEGAL TO BUY CANNABIS SEEDS?
The laws are still so vague in Australia, that most legit companies do not want to deal with the risks. There are however a few around who have found a bit of a loophole. Cannabis Seeds on their own are actually not technically illegal. It’s just a seed…. But as soon as you put that seed in water to germinate it, you’re suddenly committing a crime. Unbelievable really…. So some companies sell the seeds for collectable purposes with no referencing to the growing aspects of the seed. If you think about it, that makes sense. Who says you can’t own a seed? It’s not illegal to own a seed, and even if it was do you think the authorities are going to bring in the SWAT team on you?!
One Aussie co that appears to be having a proper go, is CG Australia. So we thought what better way than to give em a try and find out for ourselves?
NEGATIVE REVIEW AT TOP OF GOOGLE?
If you’re trying to figure out if CG AUSTRALIA is a scam, you’ll likely see this article at the top of the search engine. This article references a thread on reddit from someone seeking info on CG in order to buy Cannabis Seeds from Australia. The redditt post had a few comments, but none actually claiming CG was scam, even though a couple were just disgruntled customers. Despite this, the weedseedsaustralia post concluded that CG Australia was indeed a scam and that instead you should buy from them!
OK, nothing to see right folks! 🙂
Upon closer look it’s obvious the Weed Seeds Australia article is a hit piece from a competitor trying to discredit CG Australia.
Firstly, an article slandering a service but written by the competition? After our experience with CG (see below), we tried posting a positive review in the comment section of that page….. It never appeared on the article! Of course they have a vested interest to keep things negative….
COLLECTIBLE SEEDS – DO THEY GERMINATE? AND WHAT ABOUT THE GENETICS?
CG Australia state in their T&C’s that seeds are sold strictly for souvenir/collectable/storage purposes only. Therefore germination and growing support is not offered.
While this is understandable it’s a bit concerning when you’re spending a fair wack on your precious gems…. This also begs the question:
“Are they just using that loophole to pass off worth less crappy seeds with poor genetics?”
WE HAD TO PUT IT TO THE TEST DIDN’T WE!
We purchased 2 lots of seeds. The first was Guerilla Glue Feminized. A 5 pack was $75 + $5 shipping. Placing the order was simple. Just add to cart, name/address then pay with direct deposit or crypto. We paid with direct deposit via our bank. Was great to see it was an Australian account we were paying into. 2 days later we received an email from CG with the tracking number. 3 days after that, the package arrived in the post. Shweeet!
We germinated them using the paper towel method. Just a couple seeds on wet paper towel in a ziplock bag. They germinated in 2 days. Nice strong, healthy little germs. On the 3rd day we planted in a small pot with 70% coco coir / 30% perlite then and then watered with hydroponic nutrien at an EC of 1.0 for the first few days increasing to 2.0 after a week then transplanted into largeer pots.
These things went totally balistic!
As it was late September when we started, they took 2 full months to veg, but we’re talking 7 foot tall bushy bohemith plants with a base stem almost the size of my wrist. We were very happy to see that all plants were indeed female as expected. Another 6 weeks later and each plant over 1 pound dried! Legit high quality resounous, flavourful Cannabis. Un-fricken beleivable!
On the 2nd round, we purchased Auto White Widow. Same results for germination (100% germ) and this time the plants started flowering after 4 weeks (about the 5th node). We were harvesting 5 weeks later from then, and the buds were super dense, crystally and flavourful!
Conclusion: Yeah, don’t worry about the ‘souvenir/collectable’ thing… these guys are obviously sourcing high quality genetics….
ARE THE REVIEWS ON THEIR SITE LEGIT?
CG claim to have over 600+ customer reviews the vast majority of which are overwhelmingly positive. You can find these at the bottom of the buy cannabis seeds page.
Some would say, they’re too positive and they’re likely just fake… Honestly, have a squiz through them and you’ll see they look pretty genuine. Yes everyone seems super stoked but they appear to be different writing styles….
Anyway, we posted a review on the guerilla glue fem seeds page and it’s still there today in the same format that we provided it, so we know for certain it’s legit. Of course we did give it 5 stars so not sure if CG would post something with 1 star! Although you can see they do have 2 star, 3 star and 4 star reviews also all published, so that’s a pretty good sign actually…
Upon closer look the few negative reviews typically relate to poor germination so that is somewhat of a concern given CG will likely not discuss germination but then again, does the person actually know what they’re doing?

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, CG Australia is not a scam and is a legitimate cannabis seed supplier in Australia. As with any business, negative reviews will exist, but overwhelmingly, the reviews on CG are positive. Be careful in trusting reviews on competitor websites. They obviously have a vested interest in descrediting a genuine Aussie seed service. Don’t listen to the naysayer
Great easy purchasing. This is my second time purchasing and both times quick postage and descrete delivery. I got Gelato femenised and AK47 femenised seeds. 2 out of my 10 didnt germanate but the ones that did all eneded up being huge plants i had to tie down and snap and crimp branches to keep them down. Both strains had beautiful sweet smelling crystaly chunks some crownies as long as my arm. Smoke wise they are both really nice. The Gelato being indica has a real strong punch creeper couch stoned and my favourite of the 2 the AK 47 is so sweet smelling and smooth as on the throat and the stoned for me is a nice happy motivational stoned great for during the day. My second lot which im about to germanate for this season is the Blue dream femenised and the Bubblegum femenised and they legend guys at cg gave me a bonus couple of sour diesel seed to try. So stoked with everything so far and if these ones are as good as the first lot im goin to be a happer smoker. Cheers CG legends… Paul… SA
Purchased from CG multiple times. Fast shipping and quality seeds. Successful germination rates and feminised. 100% legit. Will never use clones again.
Purchased 5 gorilla glue Auto flower.
All seeds received in excellent condition and in a plain package. The pricing is competitive and the delivery is fast.(1 week East to West) I will be purchasing again!!
I’ve bought from CG seeds a few times now and everything done the way they say! Prompt service and emails and great germ rate on the beans over 95%!! Totally worth wile and not a scam!! Which some other sites can’t say!!! Don’t doubt !! Do it!!
I’m very happy being able to get seeds within Australia now. Communication, excellent, and arrival of seeds within 2 days….I highly recommend them, and I will purchase again.
A little late on delivery but arrived safely, it did say free seeds with this purchase but I didn’t receive them only the ones I ordered, other then that I am interested to see how the seeds go and would use this site again.
I gave up on trying to order beans in from overseas seed sites.
It wasn’t a problem …. up to a few years back.
I’m 70 years of age…old Bondi boy who started smoking in 1971.
32 years of Hydge experience…always top shelf genetics.
Nowadays, most if not all seed suppliers overseas don’t want to know about Aus. Too hard..our border security guys are very good at what they do.
I had some time ago tried a few “Aussie” sites…all bullshit fronts for some sus overseas seed place.
Pay by Crypto…NO CC. NO Guarantee your beans will turn up…and no reposting your order if it fails to arrive
Same deal for MSNL.com….Sensi Seeds….TH Seeds…etc etc.
NOT SO with CGAUSTRALIA….this sites is genuine, 100%.
I have placed 4 orders with these guys, pay by EFT..Fantastic, too easy.
Beans turned up in 3 to 4 days.😀😀😀
5 x Bubble Gum, 5 x Gsc, 5 x OG Kush, 5 x Bruce Banner.
I am fully confident these beans will sprout when I’m ready for them.
Top marks to CG Australia…way to go guys !!!
Efficient, fast service good germination rate My amnesia Hayes autos are looking pretty good at five weeks at negative to GC is they could supply more growing and strain information
Yes they are legit. I’ve ordered through CG Australia, the letter arrived quickly and I thought they did very well to keep my items private. All were labelled and the seeds are growing into cute little plants right now. No complaints. I’m a happy customer. Will order more next year!
Service was quick and efficient all though I had a few problems with some and had zero reply’s from anyone after a few attempts I guess these things happen maybe ?
The genetics look good. Arrived quickly. Had 3 out of 25 that didn’t germ but they chucked in freebies with a ten pack and all my pots are filled. I’ll use them again for sure.
I highly recommend CG Australia, prompt discreet delivery and no hassle what so ever, great customer service and great seeds, germinated each and Everytime and plants smell Devine and so many trichomes.
I just did a harvest and it was like I had a tub of superglue on my hands
Did purchase gem g glue and gelato for a friend cracked sprouted in two days nice and healthy no complaints he grew for 8 weeks turned to flower 3 weeks still no sign of sex is this what they mean by there ornamental he ain’t happy
Was a simple process you get an order number you pay an Aussie bank account and make reference to your order number. Email to say payment received and then three days letter seeds arrive. I’ve used them three times now. Germinated every time. I’ve ordered from US and Canada and had a few very expensive seeds not jump. Ordered Sour D and very happy with quality.
Wasn’t sure at first, I’m not one to trust anything on the intawebs especially media run my organised crime government’s. But cg deliver fast to Brisbane within a couple of days. Risk verses reward paid off! have a go!
CG Australia totally legit, very satisfied customer. Put in 3 orders so far, all orders were delivered within the 2 to 7 day mailing period as stated. Will continue to put in orders with CG and hope that they broaden their seed selection in the near future as their company grows bigger and better.
I have got 4 different seed types and received them all!! I have tryed all the other places including Herbies that got confiscated by customs!! $200.00 gone just like that! I will be sticking with CG!!
Thank you!
No way they are legit. Well they do send seeds but you simply have no idea what they send you.
Purchased thc and cbd seeds.
When I asked simply if they had my order I got a barrage of abuse.
I then got a replacement for the thc as they had run out.
6 months down the track I ended up with 2 thc plants.
Who knows if they are both indica that I ordered.
They didn’t answer my email asking for replacement so I put a review on their page. That review doesn’t show up so they must remove the bad ones.
They seen my review straight away and sent me an email within one minute yet didn’t have time previously.
They offered a discount if I buy more seeds. Lol.
Yeh right. Get another load of dodgy seeds.
I wouldn’t buy again from this company
Def legit. Purchased 3 times and keep going back for more! Genetics are tops. I tried weedseedsaustralia (Herbies) last year…. Got 1 lot through but other was confisgated by customs.:-( $150 gone… no help. Will keep using CG.
Quick service and delivery
