What to Look For When Buying Regular Cannabis Seeds
Buy regular cannabis seeds for both indoor and outdoor growing. Regular cannabis seedlings grow just like regular cannabis plants, only they have been genetically altered to produce the desired results.
Genetic modification is done in two ways: first, through selective breeding (that is, selecting the traits in a plant that you want) and second, by introducing foreign genes into the breeding process. In the case of the former, the plant has to be crossed with other plants of the same type in order to obtain desirable traits and in the case of the latter, plants have to be cross-bred with other species of the same or closely related type. Both methods produce cannabis plants that share desirable traits and produce offspring that carry on those traits, but neither method guarantees that each plant produces only the desired traits.
Most breeders of regular cannabis seedlings will provide you with two primary varieties of each. They will be male and female plants from the same or closely related breed. Male plants are typically taller, have smaller leaves, and produce male offspring, while female plants have smaller leaves, are typically larger, and produce female offspring.
You will typically find that the seed for regular cannabis seedlings is available in one variety, which will be the female, and one variety, which will be the male. Each variety of seed is usually bred in such a way that they are compatible with each other and the environment where they will be grown.
Regular cannabis seedlings are often sold as “hybrid” plants, which means that they are cross-bred between two or more strains of cannabis. Some of these cross-bred strains have more desirable qualities than others. Some hybrid marijuana strains have been bred to produce higher-quality plants, some are intended to produce high-potency strains, while others are simply cross-breeding between strains that produce similar results.
It’s important to keep in mind that when buying regular cannabis seedlings you don’t have to go to the trouble of crossing them with other strains in order to get the desired results. Many farmers, many of whom are not experienced with breeding, do this by accident. The best way to avoid getting muddled up in all that genetic mumbo jumbo is to look up breeders online.
When you are looking at seeds for sale, look for seed that are described as “hybrid”, and are clearly marked “hybrid”cross-bred”. Breeders can also provide pictures of the cross-bred or hybrid plants to make the process easier to understand. If the strain of the seed you are interested in has been crossbred from a variety of other varieties, make sure you know which of the resulting plants actually carry the traits you are looking for. If the seed is cross-bred from two different strains, then look for the most attractive characteristics of both strains.
When buying regular cannabis seedlings, you should also ask questions about any chemicals that were used in the cross-breeding process. Many seeds contain a mix of several different pesticides or herbicides, which can be harmful to the plant, especially if you have allergies or asthma. Check with your local growers if they use any artificial methods in the crossing process.
Before buying seeds, check with the growers and/or seed breeders to make sure that they have a good reputation, and that they are willing to provide you with a guarantee. Some growers and breeders are less likely to do so than others, especially if they are new businesses, so be careful about any claims that seem too good to be true.
When you are looking at a list of regular cannabis seeds, look for seeds that are not cross-bred, and are described as “genetically pure”. Genetically pure seeds are not crossbred between strains that are more than 50% of their original genetic makeup. When looking at an online seed list for this purpose, remember that some of these seeds may not be truly genetically pure, or true cross-breeds. If you buy a seed, be sure to test the seed by growing it yourself to make sure that it is 100% seeds before ordering it.
By now, you should have a better understanding of the basics of buying regular cannabis seed. Keep these points in mind when choosing your seed.
