Marijuana seeds are an integral component of cannabis cultivation, whether for recreational or medical use. Selecting the appropriate marijuana seeds is paramount in creating robust plants with high yield. When selecting pot seeds, keep several factors in mind such as effects and flavor as well as method of germination and photoperiodsensitivity sensitivity. In this article you can also find tips on germinating marijuana seeds as an integral first step toward growing cannabis.
The first to legalize
Since Colorado and Washington were the first two states to legalize recreational weed use in 2012, many more states have followed suit and many residents of legalized areas are looking into growing their own. But before beginning cultivation they must decide between seeds or cuttings as their starting point.
Are You Searching For Seeds? With thousands of strains available ranging from indicas, sativas and hybrids – it can be daunting!
However, you can find cannabis seeds for sale at most dispensaries in states where marijuana is legal as well as breeders – just make sure that when purchasing them from these sources that the labels and information on the websites or catalogs make sure that you get exactly the right strain to match your growing conditions!
Germination is the first step
Germination is the initial step of seed to harvest process, taking anywhere from several days to several weeks for full success. At this stage, seeds must absorb enough moisture and warmth in order to sprout. While there are many different germination methods, one popular home grower choice involves placing their seeds between two pieces of moist paper towel so they can soak up enough moisture without becoming so saturated they rot – an approach often favoured among amateur growers due to its ease of use and low cost equipment requirements. Growing cannabis from seeds or cuttings is an option, with cuttings often being chosen by those without enough time or space to wait for seeds to germinate.
When purchasing cuttings from an untrustworthy seller or grower it’s essential that backcrossing strains is performed to maintain stability in your strains and that when purchasing female cuttings you don’t end up with hermaphrodites that produce male flowers during flowering.
No matter which method you employ, starting off right with healthy, feminized seeds is key. Feminized seeds have an increased likelihood of producing female plants with buds than standard seeds can, boosting your odds of success and increasing chances of success by fivefold or more! In addition to using feminized seeds and selecting photoperiod-sensitive strains – meaning they only flower during dark times outside or early morning depending on its species – for maximum success.
