Mosca Seeds is a US cannabis breeder known for old-school lines such as Cinderella 99 BX and Old Time Moonshine and for newer feminized and autoflower releases like Raspberry Boogie, Strawberry Yum Yum and Baja Blast S1. Its own website is a catalog without a shopping cart: the buy buttons send you to The Seed Bazaar, a direct-sales shop that describes itself as a co-op of Mosca Seeds and Dark Horse Genetics. Our verdict: a genuine breeder-direct store with free tracked US shipping and fair prices for breeder packs, held back by the lack of any germination guarantee, an all-sales-final policy and shipping and refund pages that contradict each other. We score it 5.9/10.
This review is based on the published policies of moscaseeds.com and The Seed Bazaar, current prices in the store and the independent customer feedback we could find. All facts were checked on November 11, 2026. We did not place an order.

Buying From Mosca Seeds in the USA
For US buyers the setup is simple. The home page of moscaseeds.com promises “ALWAYS FREE SHIPPING” for “Domestic USA Orders, Seed Bazaar Only”, and the Seed Bazaar shipping policy confirms that domestic orders always ship free by USPS Priority Mail with tracking. There is no minimum order for free shipping in the policy.
Mosca’s terms and conditions require buyers to be over 18, or over 21 in the USA, and both sites sell the seeds as novelty or collectible items, leaving it to the buyer to follow local law. The Seed Bazaar footer adds that its products are “Federal Farm Bill Compliant”; that is the shop’s own statement and not a legal guarantee. Read the legal note in the shipping section below before you order.
Who Mosca Seeds Is
According to its About page, Mosca Seeds is led by the breeder known as Mosca Negra (or simply MOSCA) and works mainly with indica and skunk strains. The company says it is “particularly known for preserving and protecting strains such as Cinderella 99 and Old Time Moonshine”, has been breeding for 15 years or more, and has won several Cannabis Cups in Europe, IC Mag 420 cups in Amsterdam and a silver award at a 4/20 High Times Cup in Sacramento. We could not confirm these awards independently, and the company’s own figures for how long it has been breeding vary (over 10 years in the About page’s search description, 15 or more in its text, and a “25th year of creating Cannabis Genetics” in a Mosca grow blog). Mosca has written for trade media: Cannabis Business Times published its breeder’s brief on Raspberry Boogie in January 2021, describing it as the company’s best-selling strain.
The contact page describes Mosca as “a small mom and pop company” that is often out in the fields, and gives a P.O. box in Denver, Colorado. Mosca also sells through other seed banks and local stores in the US and abroad. This review covers buying direct, through The Seed Bazaar.
How The Seed Bazaar works
The Seed Bazaar home page calls itself “A Dark Horse Genetics and Mosca Seeds Co-Op”, and its About page says it was set up so that breeders keep the purchase price instead of sharing it with seed banks. Its FAQ adds that The Seed Bazaar “does not actually hold any seeds”: orders are filled by breeder reps from several locations. If you buy from both breeders in one order, expect separate parcels that can arrive days apart, and only one tracking number (the shop suggests placing a separate order per breeder to get tracking for each). The store itself runs on Ecwid inside a Wix site, with an account area for tracking orders.
Catalog and Seed Types
The Mosca catalog on moscaseeds.com lists 157 strain entries. On November 11, 2026, 97 of them were in the active seed menu: 65 feminized, 23 feminized autoflowers, 2 regular lines and 7 box sets. The other 60 sit in a “Gone Daddy Gone” section for retired or sold-out strains. Beyond the main menu, The Seed Bazaar sells older regular packs from “Mosca’s Seed Vault”, such as Cinderella 99 BX, Old Time Moonshine, Old Time Bubba Kush, Blue Iguana and Pink Bubble Gum.
The feminized range includes Mosca’s own lines (Raspberry Boogie S1 and S2, Frosted Raspberries S1, Blumosa S1, Indiana Bubble Gum S1 and BX, Pink LemonAid S1, Baja Blast S1) and newer drops such as Chrome Frost, Banana Diesel, Strawberry Frosty and the Root Beer Mac line. Collaborations with Dark Horse Genetics, James Loud Genetics and Tiki Madman make up a good part of the menu. Autoflowers come in packs of 5 seeds; the store also sells Dark Horse Genetics strains, merchandise and gift cards. Mosca’s own FAQ (from 2022) says it usually has new drops twice a year. If you are still choosing a seed type, our guide to feminized vs autoflower vs regular seeds explains the trade-offs.
Commercial growers can ask for bulk quantities of selected feminized strains and all autoflowers by email, according to the bulk seeds page. No bulk prices are published.
Prices and Pack Sizes
Pack sizes depend on the strain: 3 or 6 feminized seeds, 4 or 8 for some lines, 5 autoflower seeds, and 6, 10 or 12 regular seeds. The table shows prices in The Seed Bazaar store on November 11, 2026:
| Strain (type, pack) | Price | Per seed |
|---|---|---|
| Watermelon Blast (regular, 12 seeds, shop page) | $85.00 | $7.08 |
| Mango Sky Auto (autoflower, 5 seeds, shop page) | $50.00 | $10.00 |
| Pineapple Punk (feminized, 3 seeds, shop page) | $45.00 | $15.00 |
| Banana Diesel (feminized, 6 seeds, shop page) | $100.00 | $16.67 |
| Cinderella 99 BX (regular, 12 seeds, shop page) | $200.00 | $16.67 |
| Root Beer Mac S1 (feminized, 6 seeds, shop page) | $125.00 | $20.83 |
| Baja Blast S1 (feminized, 3 seeds, shop page) | $65.00 | $21.67 |
As of November 2026, most 3-packs of feminized seeds cost $45 to $65 and most 6-packs $80 to $125, which works out at roughly $13 to $22 per feminized seed. Autoflower 5-packs are $50 to $60 ($10 to $12 a seed). Regular packs of 10 or 12 seeds run $120 to $300. The priciest packs per seed are Legend OG S1 ($250 for 6 feminized seeds, $41.67 a seed) and BubbleGum Gelato ($200 for 6 feminized seeds, $33.33 a seed); High Chew costs $300 for 10 regular seeds. These are breeder-pack prices, not discount seed bank prices, but because US shipping is free the price on the product page is close to what you pay. One listing shows how pack details can slip: Old Time Indiana Bubble Gum is titled as 12 regular seeds while its description says 10, so check the seed count before you pay.
Shipping by Region
The shipping policy asks for 2 to 5 business days of processing (excluding weekends and US holidays), with orders received after 5:00 PM ET handled the next business day and 1 to 2 extra days in peak season. The FAQ says the shop aims to fill orders within 5 days and that breeders are sometimes away at shows before they can ship.
- United States: always free, USPS Priority Mail with a tracking number. The FAQ says mail takes about 5 days in most cases. Overnight delivery is offered at a price calculated at checkout.
- Canada, UK, EU and Australia: the terms say the shop ships worldwide, and the FAQ says international orders go by USPS First Class Mail and get a shipping email but no tracking number, and take about 21 days. The cost is unclear: the shipping policy names a $20 flat rate, while the store sells a $45 “International Shipping” item that “applies to all International Mosca Seeds orders” and a separate $45 “Australia Shipping” item. Customs duties and import taxes are the buyer’s responsibility, and importing seeds is restricted or illegal in several of these countries.
Damaged or missing parcels have to be reported within 7 days of delivery. Lost or undelivered packages are the only case in which The Seed Bazaar’s terms allow a replacement or refund.
Shipping to the US does not make growing legal everywhere. Seed and cultivation laws differ by state, and the federal hemp definition is changing in stages between November 12 and December 11, 2026 (P.L. 119-37, section 781, as amended by P.L. 119-103), which may affect how cannabis seeds can be sold and shipped (Congressional Research Service summary). Check your state and local rules before you order.
Germination Guarantee: There Is None
Neither site offers a germination guarantee. The Seed Bazaar terms say: “we do not guarantee germination rates or final crop results”, and tell buyers to contact the breeder directly. Mosca’s own terms point to its germination guide and add that “we do not guarantee grows”. The Seed Bazaar contact page also asks customers to bring seed or order problems straight to the breeder (for Mosca: [email protected]).
That makes the purchase riskier than at shops with a written replacement policy, especially for 3-packs and limited Seed Vault packs. Mosca does publish tips for germinating older seeds, which is useful for the older regular lines.
Refunds and Returns
The two sites disagree here. The Seed Bazaar refund policy says “All sales are final” and that no returns or refunds are processed once an order is placed, apart from non-receipt. Mosca’s contact page also says “All sales are final”. Mosca’s terms page opens with “All sales are final.” but further down still promises a refund on any item returned unopened within 14 days, with prior email approval and the return shipped with tracking at the buyer’s cost. Since you pay at The Seed Bazaar, assume its all-sales-final policy applies and confirm with Mosca by email if a return matters to you.
Payment Methods
A banner across The Seed Bazaar reads “Debit / Credit cards Accepted Again!”; the site does not list which card brands work. The FAQ also covers mail-in orders paid with blank US money orders or US dollars only (no other currencies). We found no mention of PayPal, crypto or bank transfer. Mosca’s terms say card charges appear on statements as “Black Fly Entertainment”; whether that also applies to Seed Bazaar orders is not stated.
Deals, Loyalty and Discount Codes
As of November 2026 we found no public discount code. The Seed Bazaar FAQ says discount codes, limited seeds and offers go to its email subscribers. The current promotions in the store were:
- A free Flower Mill grinder (listed as an $80 value) with every Mosca box set, according to the banner on the Mosca store page.
- A Mosca and Dark Horse collaboration bundle with 24 seeds (four 6-packs, two of them listed as free) for $240, or $10 a seed.
- Gift cards of $50, $100 and $120.
Breeders sometimes add freebies or tester seeds, says the FAQ, but The Seed Bazaar itself does not promise any. We found no loyalty or points program on either site.
Customer Service
Contact is by email. For seed or order questions, Mosca asks for an email to [email protected] with the date of purchase and the receipt, and warns it will not answer without purchase details. It asks for 2 to 4 days to reply. The Seed Bazaar can be reached at [email protected] and by phone on 720-982-6610, and lists its Hoffman Estates, Illinois address. We found no ticket system or published phone hours. For a small breeder this is normal, but it means slower answers than at a full-service seed bank, and a 2024 Reddit thread (see Reputation) reports emails to The Seed Bazaar going unanswered.
Reputation
As a breeder, Mosca is well established: its strains are listed by many independent seed banks, and the SeedFinder database lists 130 Mosca strains (checked Nov 11, 2026). Independent feedback on the shop is thin and mixed. We found no Better Business Bureau profile for The Seed Bazaar or Mosca Seeds, SmartCustomer (formerly Sitejabber) lists 0 reviews for theseedbazaar.com, and we found none on Reviews.io. On Reddit:
- “Seed bazaar is my new favorite place” (r/GrowingMarijuana, July 22, 2022) is a short positive post with two replies.
- “The Seed Bazaar” (r/microgrowery, March 19, 2024) reports an order from February that had not shipped and emails to the shop that got no real reply. Later comments (September and November 2024, February 2025) describe similar missing or very slow orders and unanswered emails. These reports mostly concern Dark Horse Genetics and other breeders that sold on the site at the time, not Mosca. Other commenters in the same thread say their orders arrived, one of them naming Mosca orders specifically.
Award and “grower reviews worldwide” claims on moscaseeds.com are the company’s own statements. Because the co-op passes each order to the breeder, your experience depends on the breeder you buy from; keep your receipt and order number, and email Mosca directly if an order stalls.
Who Mosca Seeds Suits, and Who Should Look Elsewhere
A good fit if you: live in the US and want Mosca genetics straight from the breeder with free, tracked Priority Mail; are after Mosca exclusives, collaborations or Seed Vault regulars such as Cinderella 99 BX and Old Time Moonshine; or want to support the breeder directly rather than through a reseller.
Look elsewhere if you: want a germination guarantee or replacement policy; live outside the US and need tracking or a clear shipping price; want to pay by PayPal or crypto; or want a large multi-breeder catalog with discount codes and loyalty points.
Scoring Summary
| Category | Score |
|---|---|
| Seed Quality and Germination | 6.5/10 |
| Shipping and Delivery | 6.5/10 |
| Customer Service | 5.0/10 |
| Product Range | 6.0/10 |
| Price and Value | 6.0/10 |
| Website and UX | 5.0/10 |
| Overall | 5.9/10 |
Mosca Seeds scores 5.9/10 overall. Seed Quality and Germination and Shipping and Delivery share the top spot at 6.5/10. Seed quality reflects breeder-direct packs from an established breeder whose lines are widely carried, held back because there is no germination guarantee at all. Shipping earns its score with free, tracked USPS Priority Mail on every US order, limited by 2 to 5 days of processing, split parcels, untracked international mail and conflicting international rates.
Website and UX and Customer Service are the lowest categories at 5.0/10. The catalog and the store live on two different sites, and their refund, tracking and shipping terms contradict each other. Support is email-first with a 2 to 4 day reply window and an all-sales-final policy, and a 2024 Reddit thread reports unanswered emails and missing orders on the co-op site, mostly for other breeders. Product Range and Price and Value both score 6.0/10: a focused single-breeder menu of about 100 active entries with collaborations and vault regulars, at breeder-pack prices of roughly $13 to $22 for most feminized seeds with free US shipping.

Final Verdict
Mosca Seeds is a real, long-running US breeder, and The Seed Bazaar is the direct shop its own website sends buyers to. For US growers the deal is clear: breeder packs at $13 to $22 per feminized seed, free USPS Priority Mail with tracking, and access to collaborations and Seed Vault regulars that resellers may not carry.
The weak points are concrete. There is no germination guarantee, sales are final, international orders ship without tracking at a price the shop’s own pages disagree on, support runs mainly by email with a 2 to 4 day reply time, and a 2024 Reddit thread reports unanswered emails and missing orders on the co-op site, mostly for other breeders. If you want Mosca genetics specifically and live in the US, buying direct is a reasonable choice; if you want a safety net on germination, look at a seed bank with a written guarantee. To compare it with the rest of the field, see our seedbank review hub.

Is Mosca Seeds legit?
Mosca Seeds is an established breeder whose strains are sold by many seed banks, and The Seed Bazaar is the shop its official website links to for buying. Independent feedback on the shop is thin and mixed: a short positive Reddit post (2022), and a March 2024 r/microgrowery thread reporting slow or missing orders and unanswered emails, mostly for other breeders on the site, where other commenters say their orders, including Mosca orders, arrived. SmartCustomer lists 0 reviews and we found no BBB profile.
Does Mosca Seeds have a germination guarantee?
No. The Seed Bazaar terms say germination rates are not guaranteed and Mosca’s terms say it does not guarantee grows. Seed or order problems go to Mosca by email at [email protected].
What payment methods does Mosca Seeds accept?
The Seed Bazaar accepts debit and credit cards (brands not listed) and mail-in orders paid with blank US money orders or US dollars. We found no PayPal, crypto or bank transfer option.

We found no public code as of November 2026. The Seed Bazaar sends codes to email subscribers, and current deals include a free Flower Mill grinder with every Mosca box set and a 24-seed collaboration bundle for $240.
Does Mosca Seeds ship to Canada, the UK or Australia?
The Seed Bazaar terms say it ships worldwide, and its FAQ says international orders go by USPS First Class Mail without tracking. The shipping policy quotes a $20 flat rate while the store sells $45 international and Australia shipping items, and import rules for seeds vary by country, so check both before ordering.
