Regular Seeds

50/50 Male & Female

Regular seeds are perfect for old-school cannabis growers who have no interest in interfering with the natural growth and development of the plant. These seeds produce both male and female plants, giving you complete control over your breeding projects.

  • Can clone easily to create new specimens
  • Extend vegetation stage to increase yields and create bigger plants

✗ Cons

  • 2–3 weeks slower harvest cycles
  • Changing light cycles can be trickier
  • No control over sex—may need to remove males

  • No need to worry about identifying or removing males
  • Save on cultivation space—every plant produces buds

Autoflowering Seeds

Fast & Automatic

Autoflowering seeds emerged in 2008 as an excellent alternative for less experienced growers. They flower automatically regardless of light cycles, taking less time and care than regular or feminized photoperiod seeds.

✓ Pros

  • Shortest flowering time—harvest in ~2.5 months
  • Smaller size makes them easy to manage and grow discreetly
  • No need to change photoperiod—they flower on their own

✗ Cons

  • Smaller plants produce lower yields per plant
  • Cannot be cloned due to automatic flowering nature
