About DSS Genetics

Where It Began

Born from a Grower's Passion

DSS Genetics was founded by a group of dedicated cultivators who grew frustrated with the lack of consistency and transparency in the seed market. Too many growers were being let down by poor genetics, misleading descriptions, and unreliable suppliers.

We set out to build the seed store we always wished existed — one that treats growers with respect, offers genuinely premium genetics, and stands fully behind every product it sells.

Today, DSS Genetics serves thousands of growers across 150+ countries, offering a curated selection of over 286 strains — from legendary classics to the latest cutting-edge releases from the world's most celebrated breeders.

"I built DSS Genetics on a simple principle: every grower deserves access to the best genetics in the world, with complete honesty about what they're buying."

Meet the Founder

From Home Grower to Seed Bank Founder

Ivan Kodinov started growing cannabis over a decade ago in a small closet setup with two plants and a budget LED light. What began as a hobby quickly became an obsession — with genetics, terpene profiles, breeding techniques, and the science behind what makes one strain exceptional and another mediocre.

After years of ordering seeds from unreliable sources — dealing with mislabeled genetics, poor germination rates, and zero transparency — Ivan decided to build the seed bank he always wished existed. One that curates only verified, premium genetics from the world's top breeders, backs every seed with a germination guarantee, and gives growers the tools and knowledge to succeed.

Today, Ivan personally oversees strain selection, writes growing guides, and leads the development of DSS Genetics' free tools — including the AI Plant Diagnosis Tool used by thousands of growers worldwide. He believes that access to quality genetics and honest growing education shouldn't be a luxury.
