Buying cannabis seeds and growing your plants has never been that easy. The demand for cannabis seeds has exploded in recent years, particularly for online purchases. If you are considering growing cannabis at home, we highly recommend you purchase seeds from reliable cannabis companies. Here are a few tips to make your choice.
Good genetics
High-quality cannabis starts with good genetics. If you know what you want to get out of your buds, then you’ll want to do a little research on the strains available to make sure you maximize your chances.
Trusted source
You must make sure that you are using quality, viable, and healthy seeds; otherwise, you will not get any harvest. Without a doubt, the best place to start is with a reputable seed company. How long has the seller been in business? Perhaps the seller is new to the commercial market but has been growing for years. It is also possible that the seller earned a reputation, and purchasing with them will result in a bountiful harvest.
You need to make sure you do your research. Don’t be afraid to ask specific questions.
If you are buying cannabis seeds for the first time, you should start with a small order. After all, with small amounts, the risks are much lower.
Avoid frozen seeds
A widespread problem is seed freezing. Seeds that have frozen during the delivery process are less likely to produce viable plants. Hence the need to choose a quality supplier.
Factors that prevent germination
With a moderately healthy stock, you will likely see that one in three cannabis seeds actually sprout. Although they are relatively robust, many factors can prevent germination: seeds with damaged hulls, immature seeds, or seeds damaged by extreme environmental conditions.
Seeds age
If the seeds are too old, they are also unlikely to sprout. There are a couple of steps to take when selecting seeds to ensure germination. While you will never achieve a perfect success rate, you can learn to distinguish the good seeds from the bad.
Seeds color
Ripe cannabis seeds are dark brown in color, often streaked with lighter shades or stripes. In general, pale green or white seeds are best avoided as they are probably not ripe.
Seeds shape
Large, plump seeds are ideal and should be rounded in shape. You can also use smaller seeds, but as a general rule of thumb, you are more likely to develop a healthy sprout from a larger, healthier seed.
We hope you will find the best seeds to start growing your cannabis at home!
