Feminized vs. Non-Feminized Seeds

Cannabis plants have two sexes, male and female.

The female plant produces the flowers and cannabinoids we want, the male plant does not.

Therefore we do not want to waste any time or energy growing male plants – unless you’re breeding or working on genetics.

Whenever possible, always choose feminized seeds – meaning there are only female seeds present.

This will save you a lot of time and energy in the long run and ensure you have a greater chance of growing a successful crop and reaping a bountiful harvest.

Auto-Flowering vs Photoperiod Seeds

Cannabis plants can come in two forms: auto-flower and photoperiod.

It is important to choose what is right for you based on your unique needs.

Autoflower plants do not depend on the light or the season to begin flowering, it does it “automatically”.

This means you have a lot more flexibility with your light cycles and can grow them any time of year.

Autos grow very quickly and their flowers can be ready in as little as 8 weeks.

Autos generally tend to be smaller in size and produce smaller yields.

Photoperiod plants may be slightly harder to grow and can take longer to flower, from 12-16 weeks.

Photo plants can be larger than autos, and they tend to produce larger yields.

How to Pick The Right Strain

Once you’ve settled on a feminized auto or photo seed, the next step is to pick the right strain.

The description of each seed will typically include whether or not the plant is Indica or Sativa dominant and what you may be able to expect from consumption.

Ultimately, regardless of the description, you will react to each strain in your own unique way because of on your endocannabinoid system.

Payment Options

You will notice that it is not easy to purchase seeds with your average debit or credit card, and this is normal.

That is because cannabis companies do mot have the luxury of using traditional banking systems due to Federal regulations.

Fortunately, many companies offer alternative payment options that range from cash or check payments to online apps like Google Pay, Zelle, or Venmo.

I understand it can be nerve-wracking to hand over money in this way, which is why I have only included companies my or my cannabis community members have successfully purchased from below.
