Types of Cannabis Seeds

Autoflowering Cannabis seeds

Autoflowering seeds begin to grow once they are planted in the ground. Auto-flowering cannabis seeds are seeds that flower on their own in 2-4 weeks. In order to flower, the normal feminized Indica and Sativa species must be exposed to inside lighting for 12 hours directly after sprouting. They wouldn’t bloom outdoors, because the daylight hours diminish during this season. 

Auto-flowering species are Indica or Sativa plants crossbred with Ruderalis, a type of cannabis that grows in areas where summer is very short but has many hours of daylight, from 22 to 24 per day. Ruderalis flowers automatically in a very short period (generally from 2 to 4 weeks). 

Feminized Cannabis seeds

The difference between male and female cannabis plants becomes apparent at the blooming stage. Feminized seeds are genetically modified to produce only female plants, ensuring a nearly 100% likelihood of female offspring, in contrast to the unpredictable outcomes of regular seeds.

CBD Cannabis seeds

Today, feminized medical cannabis seeds are developed specifically for their medicinal properties, offering relief for symptoms such as pain, muscle strains, poor blood circulation, spasms, chemotherapy side effects, tension, and sexual complaints.

Germination

Germination can be a source of confusion for many. Here is a simple step by step scheme:

Typically, seeds crack open within 48-72 hours, but it may take up to 5-6 days for germination to occur. Seeds are ready to plant when the white root is visible through the crack in the seed shell. Planting them at this stage avoids potential damage to the delicate roots.
