Are These THCA Seeds? đ±Updated 2 hours ago
No, cannabis seeds do not contain THC-A, THC, or any other cannabinoids in active form. Seeds are genetic material only. What they produce depends on how you grow them.
What Seeds Actually Contain
Cannabis seeds carry the genetic blueprint of the strain â things like:
Growth pattern (indica, sativa, hybrid)
Flowering type (photoperiod or autoflower)
Potential cannabinoid and terpene profiles
When THCA Appears
During growth: Once a seed germinates and develops into a mature cannabis plant, trichomes begin to form on the flowers.
In trichomes: These resin glands produce THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid).
After harvest: THCA can be converted to THC through heat (decarboxylation).
Key Takeaway
Seeds donât contain THCA. Theyâre simply the starting point for growing cannabis plants that, when flowered and harvested, may produce trichomes rich in cannabinoids like THCA.
