Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: January 2025

Our Commitment to Transparency

At HomeGrowNY, we believe in being completely transparent with our readers about how we fund this website. This disclosure explains our affiliate relationships and how they work.

Amazon Associates Disclosure

HomeGrow is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.

This means that when you click on links to products on Amazon from our site and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. This commission helps us maintain and improve the site, create new content, and continue providing free resources to home growers in United States.

How Affiliate Links Work

• When you click an affiliate link, a small tracking cookie is placed in your browser
• If you make a purchase within 24 hours, we receive a small percentage of the sale
• This does NOT increase the price you pay—the commission comes from Amazon
• You can always go directly to Amazon.com if you prefer not to use our links

Our Editorial Standards

We want to be clear: affiliate relationships do not influence our recommendations. We only recommend products that we genuinely believe will help you succeed in growing cannabis at home.

Our editorial process includes:

• Researching products thoroughly before recommending them
• Considering user reviews, brand reputation, and value for money
• Recommending products at various price points to suit different budgets
• Being honest about limitations or drawbacks of products
• Never accepting payment for positive reviews

FTC Compliance

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR Part 255: Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising, we disclose our affiliate relationships. This page serves as that disclosure.

You will also find disclosure notices on pages containing affiliate links, including our equipment recommendation pages.

Seed Bank Affiliates

In addition to Amazon Associates, we participate in affiliate programs with two reputable cannabis seed banks. When you click a seed link from our site and complete a purchase, we earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We selected these specific partners because their products meet our editorial quality standards — commission rates do not influence which strains we recommend.

• Fast Buds — autoflower-specialist seed bank. We earn a 15% commission on completed orders. HomeGrow readers can use code HGAPP for 15% off at checkout.
• ILGM (I Love Growing Marijuana) — feminized photoperiod and autoflower seeds. We earn a 20% commission on completed orders.

Other Potential Compensation

Beyond the Amazon Associates, Fast Buds, and ILGM relationships above, we have no other affiliate partnerships. Should we partner with additional companies in the future, we will update this disclosure and clearly identify those relationships.
