Best Breeder - Cookies Seed Bank

A category encompassing all photoperiod cannabis breeders worldwide. It’s a tremendous honor to be ranked among the top 10 breeders and an even greater one to be voted by the public as the number one breeder of 2025.

Cookies Seed Bank, the world-renowned California breeder, has won multiple awards for its top-shelf genetics and has once again claimed another award—this time, first place in the Best Breeder 2025 category.

Best Autoflower Breeder - Fast Buds

This is another major category to win, encompassing all autoflowering cannabis breeders worldwide. The competition has always been fierce among the top three, but the public has spoken, and once again, Fast Buds has been declared the Best Autoflower Breeder of 2025.
