It is legal to buy and sell them<\/a>, but they are illegal to germinate. Germination is the process of introducing a seed to warmth, light and moisture to begin the growing process.<\/p>\nSeeds may be purchased as memorabilia, souvenirs, bird food or even fish bait. However, if you make a purchase and indicate that you intend to germinate them, then the seller is obligated to report it to the police. Equally, a seller must not indicate that seeds are being sold for the purpose of germination.<\/p>\n
If you do intend to purchase seeds for germination, you must be aware that you may be caught and risk fines or time in prison. As you\u2019re buying them for storage and preservation purposes, this won\u2019t be an issue for you.<\/p>\n
Disclaimer<\/strong> \u2013 To help you choose which genetic lines to preserve, our descriptions of seeds include details about necessary growing conditions and the plants they produce. This is included to inform your decision and refers only to seeds being grown in countries where germination is legal; it is not a suggestion of how they should be used.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/span>What Should I Consider When Purchasing?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/span>Regs <\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nRegular seeds have a 50\/50 chance of growing into male or female plants. Some become flower-bearing female plants, and some become pollen-producing males. They\u2019re useful for breeders because they need both male and female plants to produce the next generation of seeds.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Fems<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nFeminised seeds are those that breeders have engineered to produce female plants 100% of the time. This means every plant is likely to grow crops of resinous flowers and growers won\u2019t need to weed out the males.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Photoperiod<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nMost CBD-rich cannabis plants start to flower when the amount of direct light on them drops from around 18 hours a day to about 15 hours. They can be grown inside or outside, but they either need the correct light set-up or the right time of year to produce a crop. Photoperiod seeds often produce larger plants and can reach higher THC levels.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Autos<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nAutoflowering seeds produce flowers after a fixed period of growth, usually 3 to 4 weeks after germination. These seeds are commonly chosen by beginners or those who don\u2019t have enough space for the lighting necessary for indoor photoperiod grows.<\/p>\n
<\/span>CBD: THC Ratios<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nThe CBD: THC ratio of a seed relates to the cannabinoid content in the buds of any female plants it produces. Whether you choose 1:1 with equal amounts of CBD and THC, or something with more CBD and less THC, like 20:1, depends on what characteristics you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n
High CBD strains are often marketed as having medicinal benefits. Those that are also high in THC still provide a high sensation, whereas those with less than 1% THC are often referred to as purely medicinal strains because they\u2019re less likely to be intoxicating.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Breeders Packaging<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nWhen you\u2019ve chosen your seeds and go to place your order, it\u2019s a good idea to request that everything comes in its original breeder\u2019s packaging. Then you can be sure you\u2019ve received exactly what you\u2019ve paid for, not all retailers will do this. If they say no, then do not purchase as you cannot be sure you are buying genuine CBD seeds.<\/p>\n
