Autoflowering seeds automatically enter the flowering phase once they reach a certain age, regardless of the light cycle. They typically mature faster and are suitable for beginner growers.

How to properly germinate cannabis seeds?

There are several germination methods:
We recommend using moist paper towels.
It’s important to maintain adequate moisture and a temperature of around 22–25 °C.

How to store cannabis seeds to maintain their viability?

Seeds should be stored in a cool, dry, and dark place. Airtight containers placed in a refrigerator at a temperature of 4–8 °C are ideal for preserving their viability for several years.

How to determine the quality of cannabis seeds?

High-quality seeds are typically hard, dark brown with a marbled pattern. They should not be soft, green, or damaged. However, appearance does not always guarantee quality; it’s important to buy from reliable suppliers.

Is it legal to buy cannabis seeds?

Legislation varies by country. In some countries, buying and possessing seeds is legal, but germination and cultivation are prohibited. Check local laws before purchasing.

How long does it take to grow a plant from seed to harvest?

The duration depends on the strain and growing conditions. Autoflowering strains can be ready for harvest in 8–10 weeks after germination, while photoperiod strains require 3–5 months.

Can seeds from purchased buds be used for cultivation?

Technically yes, but such seeds might result from accidental pollination and do not guarantee desired traits. It is recommended to purchase seeds from reputable producers for predictable results.

What types of cannabis seeds are there?

Feminized: produce only female plants.

Autoflowering: enter flowering independently of the light cycle.

Regular: can produce both male and female plants.

How to choose the right seed strain for a beginner grower?

Beginners are advised to choose autoflowering and feminized strains, as they are easier to grow and require less attention to the light cycle. It’s also worth considering disease- and stress-resistant strains.
