The use of Marijuana in USA is at an all-time high as more people realize the potential benefits of this unique plant that was legalized just the other day. With it becoming legal to grow up to four cannabis plants per household, people are scurrying for high-quality cannabis seeds that will yield the highest quality plants. And if you are yet to plant yours, then this guide is the right one for you.
Male cannabis plants produce pollen grains which fertilize the female plants to produce seeds. The seeds then develop within the bud and are removed when the bud matures and is dried. Different types of cannabis seeds exist, each having its set of unique characteristics.

How to Store Cannabis Seeds
Good storage of cannabis seeds is vital for a quality germination process. Cannabis seeds should be stored in a cool, dark and dry place as the presence of light can trigger the germination of seeds. High humidity can also speed up the germination process, whereas low humidity can attract insects to your valuable set of cannabis seeds. As such, you should store it at a temperature of around 45 degrees Fahrenheit.
What are the different types of Seeds?
Feminized Cannabis Seeds
These are mainly female buds containing huge portions of cannabinoids (THC, CBD). These cannabinoids have plenty of uses which makes them preferable. Genetic engineering has made it that these seeds only produce female plants. They are photoperiodic, which means they react to the length of the day. Benefits: More time is saved, and little wastage as only female plants are germinated. As such, there is no need to go around checking the sex of plants since they are already female. Since breeding is considered complex, a beginner can use this type comfortably.
Regular Seeds
These are a result of the natural seed-making process. Since there is fertilization involved, there is an equal likelihood of either sex. This type of cannabis seed is mainly used for breeding. Benefits: This type of cannabis seed is cheaper to use when producing plants. New strains can be discovered through cross-breeding with other strains.
Auto-flowering Seeds
The seeds will not give a type of plant that is not photoperiodic. In other words, the cannabis plants grown from these seeds do not necessarily need sunlight and can be grown indoors. Benefits: These plants grow quickly, meaning you can start rolling your joints and baking edibles in no time at all. They are also known for their high cannaboid levels. The plants also adapt quickly to cold seasons.
