Why choose marijuana seeds for beginners?
Novice breeders often worry about the success of their first breeding. That makes sense. Knowledge in the field of lighting, nutrients and watering doesn’t come naturally but you will get experienced by trying. Therefore, beginners regularly make known mistakes. For example by giving too much or too little water and nutrition. A plant will react on such mistakes, but with our special weed seeds for beginners you don’t have to worry about this. Because these strains are very resilient, the plant will not so easily overreact by such a mistake.
Which cannabis seeds can you choose best as a beginner?
As a novice grower, a number of issues are important for a successful cultivation when choosing cannabis seeds. Here simplicity is key. Factors that influence simplicity are for example the gender of the plant, the flowering capability and the fungus resistance.
Tip 1) Gender - choose feminized seeds for beginners
Every beginner, but also advanced growers choose to grow their plants from regular or female cannabis seeds. There is an important difference here. With regular cannabis seeds, the gender of the plant has not yet been determined. Per seed there is an average chance of 50% to get a male plant and a 50% chance of a female plant. For example, if you cultivate four seeds, chances are that you will grow two male and two female plants. However, it can also be three male and one female or three female and one male plant.
Male plants do not create weed buds, but can pollinate the female plant. However, this is not desirable for growing weed. Tops are only developed by female plants. It is therefore highly recommended to choose feminized (female) cannabis seeds as a beginner. With this you do not have to recognize and remove the male plants which makes growing much easier.
Tip 2) The flowering - choose autoflowering seeds for beginners
With the light scheme you determine when your plant will bloom. With more than 10 hours of darkness the plant remains in the vegetative phase. This means that the plant will grow, but will not flower (create buds). Most indoor growers often keep 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness during the growth phase.
However, in order to get the plant into the flowering process you have to adjust the lighting schedule after a growth period of about 2 to 2.5 weeks. In this phase the cannabis plant needs at least 10 hours of darkness in order to bloom. However, the best results are achieved by setting the light scheme on 12/12 (12 hours light and 12 hours dark).
Such a light scheme can be a hassle. Especially for a beginner. Fortunately there is a simple solution for this. For example by using autoflowering cannabis seeds. As the name suggests, these weed seeds will automatically bloom without adjusting your light scheme.
Tip 3) The mold resistance - choose for cannabis seeds with a high mold resistance
Some cannabis plants have a low fungal resistance, while others have a very high resistance to mold. However, as a beginner you don’t want to struggle with diseases and pests that will ruin your first harvest. It is therefore highly recommended to opt for cannabis seeds with a high mold resistance.
Tip 4) Indica or Sativa? - Choose indica seeds for beginners
Cannabis plants are roughly divided into two categories: Indicas and Sativas. The distinction lies mainly in the growth process and structure of the plant. Indicas are generally easier to cultivate. They produce a lot of weed in a relatively short flowering phase and have a compact structure. For a novice grower it’s therefore advisable to choose an Indica strain.
