Regular cannabis seeds

What are regular cannabis seeds?

Regular cannabis seeds are non-feminized seeds that have a roughly 50/50 chance of producing a female or male cannabis plant. These seeds come from male and female parent plants without feminization techniques, so they are often described as “natural” or “old-school”. Using regular seeds allows you to make your own crosses, giving you the chance to select the traits you want in a new strain. Plus, with regular cannabis seeds, you can allow male and female cannabis plants to pollinate, giving you your own seed stash for the next cultivation.

History of regular marijuana seeds

Cannabis has a long history of human use, with ancient evidence linked to fiber, food, ritual, medicinal, and psychoactive purposes in different regions. In the 16th century, cannabis spread to the Western Hemisphere, where it was initially used mainly for fiber. Much later, in the 1960s, recreational cannabis use became more visible in Western counterculture. Before feminized seeds became widely available, breeders worked mainly with regular cannabis seeds to create and stabilize many classic cannabis genetics, including famous lines linked to Skunk, Haze, Northern Lights, White Widow, and many more.

Years later, Dutch breeders helped revolutionize the seed market with feminized seed technology, with Dutch Passion introducing feminized cannabis seeds in 1997. Regular seeds are still sold today, although feminized seeds have become the mainstream choice for many growers. Regular weed seeds remain popular with growers who don’t mind producing male cannabis plants, and those who like to produce their own seeds or create new strains.

Feminized vs regular seeds

Now, let’s take a look at what exactly the difference is between feminized seeds vs regular cannabis seeds.

While regular cannabis seeds produce roughly 50% male and 50% female offspring, feminized seeds, as the name suggests, are bred to produce female plants around 99% of the time. This is a major advantage for growers who want to harvest buds, because female plants produce the resinous flowers that contain THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids, depending on the strain. That means when cultivating regular cannabis seeds for bud production, growers need to identify and remove male plants before they pollinate the females. Feminized seeds remove the need for these extra steps, which is a big plus for beginners and helps save time and space. If that sounds like something for you, make sure to check out our great selection of feminized cannabis seeds at Sirius Seedshop!

Although regular seeds require more experience and care, they are the go-to choice for breeders and traditionalists, as they allow for creating new strains or stabilizing existing ones.

Autoflowering seeds vs regular seeds

Autoflowering seeds differ significantly from regular cannabis seeds in both growth pattern and ease of cultivation. Autoflowering seeds flower automatically after a set period of time, while photoperiod cannabis plants need the right light cycle to start flowering. This allows autoflowering seeds to finish faster and makes them a practical choice for beginners or growers who prefer a low-maintenance cultivation process and quick harvest. If you value those traits, you can buy autoflower cannabis seeds at our Seedshop and choose from high-quality options at competitive prices.

On the other hand, when comparing auto seeds vs regular seeds, regular cannabis seeds give growers more control and more opportunities for genetic experimentation. Photoperiod regular strains can also offer strong yield potential, depending on the genetics and growing conditions.

How to grow regular cannabis seeds

Growing regular cannabis seeds may require more skill, but it also offers a unique and rewarding experience. Cultivation starts with germination and planting your seeds in a suitable medium under appropriate light conditions. This is especially important for photoperiod regular seeds, which need specific light schedules depending on their growth phase. Make sure to check out our Growshop’s selection of high-quality grow lights, which can help you provide the correct conditions.

Moreover, due to the difference between regular and feminized seeds, regular seeds can produce male plants as well as female plants. If your goal is to harvest weed buds, you’ll need to identify and remove the male plants before they pollinate the females. Otherwise, your crop will contain lots of seeds instead of THC-rich flowers. Good climate-control equipment can also help you optimize your harvest quality.

Creating your own cannabis strain

Are you ready to grow regular cannabis seeds and take the next step by breeding your own new strains? The fact that regular seeds produce both male and female plants gives you an opportunity to combine the genetics of the parent strains you cultivated to create new crosses. You can therefore choose your favorite strains and play around with different flavor combinations like a true pro. You can also consider choosing parent genetics based on their strong resilience, suitability for specific climates, or high-yield potential.

After selecting ideal parent plants, the male pollen should be carefully applied to receptive female flowers once you see little white hairs appear on them.

Note: To avoid unwanted cross-pollination, do this in a controlled environment and use a small clean brush for precision.

To support proper seed development, the pollinated plant should be isolated, unless all females were pollinated with the same male, and given suitable cannabis fertilizer. Once mature, the seeds can be harvested, stored, and germinated to grow a new generation of your own special offspring!
