Cannabis seeds for beginners

Now that you have taken that leap to grow your cannabis, there are a few things that you should know. But before we delve into the more technical stuff, we would start with the category of cannabis seeds that are available to you, the best weed seeds to grow for beginners, how best to plant and the small steps to taking adequate care of your plant for maximum yield.

This category is tailored for beginners and those without much experience in weed farming. Still, while it is intended to provide information for growers without experience, we have also provided a few tips that cater to everyone.

Beginner marijuana seeds strains

There is a huge amount of cannabis seed strains on the market today. Still, one certain thing is that they all must fall into any of the categories of Indica-dominant, Hybrid, or Sativa-dominant . You must first figure out if you want to grow an Indica-dominant, Sativa-dominant, or Hybrid strain before taking the plunge. Make sure to check out our Marijuana Grow Guide as well.

Why is this important?

You see, each weed strain possesses certain characteristics that are unique to that strain. These characteristics define the strain's individuality and the purpose they might be fit for. For instance, Indica-dominant strains are noted for their relaxed, soothing feel and are good candidates for use as analgesics and sleep inducers. On the other hand, Sativa-dominant strains are noted for their cerebral high and would function for increasing focus and concentration and as a mood booster for those slow days. Now, the hybrid is on a different level from the first two.

Indica-dominant: Indica-dominant strains are deep bushy green with chunky leaves. They are often short and stocky and usually have higher levels of CBD than THC. Many have described the strain as earthy, musky, and skunky. Indica-dominant strains have been noted to be physically soothing, and as such, they are perfect as nightcaps for pain relief and relaxation after a stress-filled day.

Sativa-dominant: Sativa-dominant strains are light green with thin, tall stalks and finger-like leaves. They usually have higher THC levels than CBD and are noted for their energizing “ mind high” The strain is great for daytime use, and it is ideal for creatives or those seeking an extra mental boost. Many have described the Sativa-dominant strain as fruity, sweet, and spicy.

Hybrid: Hybrid strains are a combination of the Indica and Sativa strains and would often take the characteristics of the specific mother strain. A curator ingeniously designs them for a particular purpose and, as such, can produce various effects depending on the specific mother strains used to create the hybrid.

The appearance of the hybrid strain depends on the combination of the parent plants, the same also for their aroma and strength.

What to look out for in cannabis seeds

Seed Strain Family: If you have been reading, you will notice that we have addressed this point above. Depending on the effect you hope to achieve at maturity, you should choose wisely the strain that best fits your purpose.

Other factors to consider are your growing space, lighting availability, and the growing period. Sativa-dominant strains require more growing space than Indica-dominant strains, and they also take longer to mature. So, consider these when making your choice.

Difficulty Level: Beyond the idea of the different strains is the difficulty level of cultivation. Not all weed seeds are perfect for beginners because some require special care and expert-level knowledge on growing cannabis. As a beginner, you should start with the easiest strains to guarantee a yield on the first try. Always read the reviews online to understand the difficulty level of growing a certain strain before you start. When in doubt, ask questions.

For beginners, you can pick up skills and experience from planting easier strains such as Cheese or Northern Light. In time, you will develop your growing skills.

Now to the more technical stuff.
