Types of Cannabis SeedsUpdated 5 months ago


1. Regular Seeds

  • Produce both male and female plants
  • Preferred by breeders for creating new strains
  • Require identification and removal of males to prevent pollination
  • Essential for breeding projects
  • Typically used by experienced growers

2. Feminized Seeds

  • Produce female plants 99% of the time
  • Ideal for growers focused on bud production
  • Eliminate the need to identify and remove male plants
  • Maximize space and resources for flowering

3. Fast Version Seeds

  • A Homegrown Cannabis Co. innovation
  • Incorporate small amounts of ruderalis genetics
  • Reduce flowering time to as little as 6 weeks
  • Maintain photoperiod dependence, allowing flexible vegetation periods
  • Offer quicker harvests and lower operating costs
  • May be less forgiving of cultivation errors

4. Autoflower Seeds

  • Flower automatically, regardless of light cycle
  • Shortest seed-to-harvest period (typically 10-12 weeks)
  • Ideal for beginners or those seeking multiple harvests per season
  • Don't require light cycle adjustments
  • Often smaller plants with lower yields, but faster turnaround

Key Considerations

  • Regular seeds are the only option for breeding projects
  • Feminized seeds are best for maximizing bud production
  • Fast Version seeds offer quicker harvests while maintaining photoperiod control
  • Autoflower seeds provide the fastest and most straightforward growing experience

When choosing seeds, consider your growing goals, experience level, and available resources to determine which type best suits your needs.
