Discover the secrets to selecting the best cannabis seeds: criteria, genetics, yield, flowering, and final choice, for an optimized culture
In the verdant world of cannabis growers, from budding novices to seasoned master gardeners, selecting the perfect seed is a science. This article will reveal the secrets to choosing the right seed for optimal yield and dazzling blooms.
For those unfamiliar with cannabis gardening vocabulary, the cbd is the fancy acronym for Cannabidiol. This substance found in the plant cannabis produces relaxing rather than euphoric effects. Its importance? Think of a bottle of non-alcoholic wine or a pizza without cheese! The level of cbd can vary greatly from seed to seed, so it is crucial that your selection matches the rate that is right for you.
It’s fun to watch sick plants—they look more like zombies than healthy living beings. And zombies are not very popular (except on the silver screen, of course). Choosing a disease-resistant seed helps avoid this doomsday scenario in your own garden. These hardy seeds reduce the effort of intensive care and ensure the quality and volume of your future harvest.
Ah, the origin of cannabis seeds. It’s like tracing your family tree, except you won’t find an embarrassing old photo of your grandfather in tight shorts. The best-performing seeds often come from reputable breeders. who have devoted years to optimize their parent plants to obtain the best possible specimens. You are looking for pedigree ? Consider looking for names like Sensi Seeds or Dutch Passion when doing your research.
Then comes the tricky question: indica or sativa? It’s a bit like choosing between pizza and tacos – there really is no wrong choice here (unless you have a gluten intolerance). Indicas are loved for their relaxing and calming effect, perfect for a Netflix & Chill after a tiring day. Sativas, on the other hand, offer a more dynamic and creative high – perfect if you need a boost to finish that novel you started six months ago…or was it six years ago?
Does size really matter? When it comes to cannabis yield, the answer is yes. A scientific study published in High Times magazine in 2019 reveals a difference in production depending on the strain of seeds.

In the arena of cannabis cultivation, one thing is certain: Time is not only money, but also buds. Optimizing the growing season may seem like a bigger challenge than being an acrobat on a tightrope over a pit of hungry alligators. However, it is by no means invincible. You just have to be attentive to your plants and patient as a turtle practicing yoga.
Now that you've mastered the dance with time, let's move on to learning about photoperiodism—that complex term that sounds like something straight out of a mutant superhero book. In simple terms, it's just the control of light and dark hours for your precious green plants.
Visualize yourself as a maestro conducting a symphony orchestra where each musician is a different lamp - some to provide that soft golden morning light and a few others to provide that deep darkness necessary for their nightly rest.
In short: being a gardener is being an artist! So take your wand (or rather your timer) and start creating this impressive green masterpiece.
Growing cannabis is like growing money on a tree. However, this tree requires water, light and a multitude of expensive seeds. It is essential to evaluate the expenses to avoid ending up eating instant noodles for six months because everything was invested in organic fertilizers.
One might imagine that the greater the number of seeds, the more abundant the harvest. This is true if you live in a castle with a huge greenhouse. For those who live in a modest apartment, it is necessary to take into account the space required for each plant and optimize your habitat without transforming your living room into a tropical forest.
Growing cannabis isn’t just about financial investment or available space; it’s also about timing! If your daily routine resembles that of a star chef during the Saturday night rush, you might be wise to rethink this bold horticultural project. Plants need regular attention and this is certainly not the right time to start practicing Zen meditation.
