Cannabis Strains For Beginner Growers

There are several reasons why you might want to grow your own cannabis seeds-two that come to mind are saving money and having fun!  Here we will discuss 7 popular cannabis strains for beginner growers, why you might want to grow your own, and where to get the best seeds. Become part of the population that is choosing to grow their own cannabis!

Why Grow Your Own Seeds?

SAVE MONEY

One of the big reasons to grow your own cannabis is to save money and who doesn’t want to do that? In Canada, it is now legal to grow your own recreational cannabis and each province has its own rules on how many plants you can grow. The states also have their own rules and regulations and some may not allow you to grow any at all. It is always wise to check before investing in seeds.

MORE CONTROL

You will have more control over planting your seeds, from the beginning to the end-the soil you use, germination, the fertilizer you buy (organic, pesticides and chemicals to avoid, etc.), to the final harvesed product.

READY SUPPLY

You can stagger your plants so that you never run out. This may take a little bit of work though as you will need to know how many plants you can have growing at one time but it is doable. Never run out again!

CONVENIENCE

If you live in an area where it is inconvenient for you to skip out and get more cannabis when you run out, growing your own ensures that won’t be a problem.

EXPERIMENTATION

Once you get the hang of it, you can start growing your own strains, especially if you have lots of time and enjoy trying new things. Not only that, but you can experiment with all the parts of the cannabis plant including the leaves. If you are not into smoking, then edibles or a tea might be for you.

FUN

I think some people are just born to grow things and if you are one of them, then you know the joy and satisfaction you get from watching a tiny seed sprout into a full grown plant. But if you don’t have a ‘green thumb,’ don’t despair. There are so many guides available online that will you take you through the whole process from beginning to end. Have fun!

Checklist

Before we get into the best seed strains for the beginner grower, let’s look at some things to check out first.

  • Choose good feminized cannabis seeds that are hearty and don’t require light schedules, preferably a short flowering time, and a good yield.
  • Choosing feminized seeds eliminates the possibility of ending up with male plants which do not produce marijuana, fertilize the female plants, and reduce the THC levels. Buy from a company that guarantees feminized seeds.
  • Choose autoflowering seeds that have a short growing time and do not rely on scheduled lighting or sunlight.
  • If possible, if you do not have the best growing environment, choose mould-resistant seeds.
  •  Indica plants grow fast, are perfect for indoors as they are smaller and more compact, and easy to grow.
