What Is Cannabis?

Cannabis goes by many names; marijuana, weed, grass, ganja, but they all mean the same thing. Cannabis is a product of the sativa cannabis plant that people consume for therapeutic and recreational highs, and it can be ingested in a variety of ways. You can eat, drink and vape cannabis, although the most popular method of usage is smoking. Cannabis contains over a hundred different chemicals known as cannabinoids, and these cannabinoids are what produce the medicinal and psychoactive effects cannabis has become famous for.

Growing and cultivating cannabis is a hobby for many and a lucrative business for some. Like all plants, cannabis begins in seed form, which then bud into flowers that can be harvested and consumed. However, the growing process of cannabis is a little more complex than regular plants because there are many more factors to take into consideration in order to produce the desired results. It’s the genetic stability in a cannabis seed that can be the difference between a successful crop and one that yields lesser results, so it’s always important to be selective with your seed choice.

What Are Cannabis Seeds?

The most common way to grow cannabis is through seeds. Like human beings, cannabis plants require genetic information from two parents to bloom. Cannabis seeds take this genetic information from its two parent plants (male and female), which then transform into a plant that expresses different combinations of traits from either parent plant. While there are alternative ways to grow cannabis (such as through the use of clones), plants grown from seeds tend to be healthier, more stable and offer stronger genetics than their cloned counterparts. For amateur growers, it’s also much easier to get hold of marijuana seeds than it is to clone an existing strain.

When cannabis seeds bloom, both male and female plants emerge. However, only the females produce the buds that cannabis growers desire as only female buds offer psychoactive and medicinal effects. Therefore, it’s up to the grower to discard the male plants, leaving only buds to be consumed and seeds to be replanted. Of course, this is a simplified explanation. The actual process, from planting to germination is much more complex. Furthermore, all cannabis seeds are different. Regardless of the strains they eventually produce, certain marijuana seeds will bud differently to others based on their biological genetics.

Types Of Cannabis Seeds

There are three main types of cannabis seed; regular, feminised and autoflower. Each type comes with their own unique advantages and disadvantages and will appeal to different buyers depending on their preferences. For example, some buyers might prefer to grow speed over quantity, in which case they might be drawn to autoflowering seeds. Other buys might prefer high quality regardless of the long cultivation process, therefore they might favour regular seeds. In this next section, we’re going to take a detailed look into each of these different seed types to help you find the one that’s right for you.

Regular Cannabis Seeds

Regular seeds are completely natural marijuana seeds that haven’t been chemically altered in any way. When their plants finally emerge, they have a 50% chance of budding as males or females just the way nature intended. You won’t know the plant’s gender until flowering begins, so if you’re goal is to yield pure cannabinoid buds, you’ll have to separate the males from the females. For this reason, new users tend to avoid regular seeds as the growing process is a little more complex than some other seeds on the market. However, since regular seeds are natural and unchanged, they do come with a number of incredible benefits, including:

  • High, potent yields
  • More stable than other seed types
  • Wide variety of available strains
  • Rare, natural genetics
  • Production of both genders, allowing for creation of new seeds
  • No chemical agents

If you want an even mixture of male and female plants, then regular cannabis seeds are the best choice. Both sexes allow for the creation of new strains by isolating your preferred genetics and improving on them. Additionally, if you plan on taking cuttings, regular seeds are preferred since they’re able to produce vigorous and healthy clones without losing any of the seed’s original genetics.

Feminised Cannabis Seeds

As we mentioned, only female plants produce the buds that cannabis lovers crave, and that’s why feminised seeds were created. Feminised seeds ensure an incredible 99.9% chance of emerging as a female, which means the odds are greatly in your favour if you’re looking for bud-only plants. They offer highly concentrated forms of cannabis that are rich with a variety of cannabinoids to extract. In the modern cannabis scene, feminised seeds are much more popular than regular seeds because they simplify the entire process for the grower. They’re practical, versatile and they come with a massive range of advantages, including:

  • Guaranteed female plants
  • Cost-effective
  • Maximise your growing space with pure-bud plants
  • Save time removing male plants from your batch
  • No sexing necessary

Feminised seeds are ideal for those whose primary concern is resinous flowers. You’ll save considerable time not having to sift out male plants from your growing space and you can rest assured you’ll be getting the maximum number of buds every time. Generally, any type of feminised seed is a better option than regular seeds for rookie growers. Buyers don’t have to learn how to identify and remove the male plants from the batch, and ensure that budding flowers can be grown with just basic care.

Auto-Flowering Cannabis Seeds

Autoflowering seeds are the most popular seeds amongst growers due to their ability to flower without a change in the light cycle. Usually, plants require optimal amounts of sunlight and darkness in order to bloom, but autoflower marijuana seeds will flower with just a minimal amount of daily sunlight. Rather than having to tend to the plant regularly to ensure it’s receiving the required nutrients, autoflower seeds will grow regardless of the conditions and climate of its surroundings. For this reason, autoflowering seeds are incredibly popular with novice hobbyists and growers, and come with a number of advantages over other seed types, including:

  • No need to alter the light cycle
  • Quick flowering times
  • Strong genetics, ensuring ease of growth
  • Better durability for all conditions
  • Easy for beginners to learn the cultivation process
  • High yields

Any growers that are looking to harvest as quickly possible should consider autoflower seeds. If you’re not entirely comfortable with the growing and maintaining process, autoflower seeds reduce the strain and give growers more room for manoeuvre and error. They’re also perfect if you’re limited on space because not only can you mass grow them together, but autoflower marijuana seeds are also easy to conceal amongst companion plants in gardens.

What Are Cannabis Strains?

You wouldn’t walk into a wine store and assume every bottle on the shelf was the same, and seed banks and cannabis stores are no different. Just like wine, you want a wine that offers the notes, aromas and flavours you prefer. Although cannabis buds might look alike, their effects and qualities all vastly differ depending on each individual strain. Strains are the genetic variations of cannabis plants; the component that decides each bud’s tastes, scents and psychoactive effects. Strains can even affect the plant’s visual appearance too. Before you purchase your seeds, it’s important to work out which strain is best for you.

Like other plants, cannabis has evolved over the years, either through natural genetic evolution, cross-pollination or specific breeding from researchers. Each result that comes from this evolution gets allocated a new name, like White Widow or Northern Lights. From these strains, breeders can harvest the most popular genetics and cross them with other strains to create new and exciting hybrid products. This is the basis for the cannabis industry, and researchers believe there are currently around 800 individual strains as of the time of the writing, with more constantly being introduced every year. This is just one reason the cannabis market has continued to thrive for decades.

Different Types Of Strains

There are generally considered to be three types of marijuana strain: Indica, Sativa and Hybrid, each offering their own medicinal and psychoactive effects. Indica strains tend to be associated with full-body effects such as relaxation, pain relief and insomnia reduction. Sativa is known for its energising effects, increasing focus, creativity and reducing stress and anxiety. Hybrid strains offer a mixture of the two, although most hybrids will either be indica-dominant or sativa-dominant. However, while these names Indica and Sativa are generally used to refer to specific effects resulting from consumption, not every strain within that designation will function in the same manner.

While it’s generally true that Indica offers relaxation and Sativa provides invigoration, these effects are not guaranteed every time. Two individual users might react completely differently to the same strain. Effects are often a result of the user’s tolerance and overall health rather than the products of the plant, in the same way different people will respond differently to alcohol. Therefore, from a scientific perspective, Indica and Sativa should mostly be used to refer to a plant’s genetics rather than the end effects. The next section features a breakdown of what you might expect from Indica, Sativa and Hybrid strains, but keep in mind these effects are not set in stone.

Indica

Indica strains come from the cannabis Indica plant and are traditionally associated with ‘body highs’ that invoke relaxation, sedation and reflection. In addition to pleasant euphoric sensations, Indica strains are also used by many for pain management, health benefits, and to reduce insomnia and inflammation. Due to its relaxation effects, Indica is generally referred to as a ‘night time strain.’ Many users also claim it boosts appetite and helps with eating disorders. Indica strains are recognisable through their shorter and wider leaves. Popular Indica strains include:

Sativa

Sativa strains originate from the cannabis Sativa plant are best known for their rejuvenating, energising and uplifting effects on the user. They’re visually distinguished by their tall and narrow plants with longer and thinner leaves. Sativa strains are said to create ‘head highs,’ including increased alertness, improved creativity, and general uplifting, euphoric sensations. As a result of these effects, some users report that Sativa products offer relief from mental ailments such as depression, anxiety, stress and ADHD.

Hybrid

Hybrid strains are crosses of Indica and Sativa parent plants, resulting in a combination of relaxation and energising effects on the user. They offer rich flavours, invite aromas and a vast array of positive effects depending on the strain. Despite this mixture of genetics, hybrids do tend to be dominated by one of its parent strains, but the potency of the effects are lessened due to the presence of the opposite strain’s genetics. Therefore, it provides a pleasant balance of both – ideal for users who enjoy both strains equally.

Choosing Your Strain

Once you have an understanding of what constitutes a cannabis strain, you’re able to narrow down to the kind of strains that suit your individual needs. When choosing your preferred strain, there are a few main points to keep in mind. These include:

  • Indica strains offer relaxing effects while Sativa invokes energising sensations and increased awareness
  • Consider your experience level before choosing a strain. Novice users should begin with a CBD-dominant strain with lower levels of THC (more on CBD and THC in the next section)
  • Hybrid strains offer a fantastic balance of both traditional strains
  • Not every strain with the same name will create the same effects each and every time
  • Reactions will largely depend on the user. Characteristics such as body weight, overall health and cannabis tolerance will all play a role in the user’s response to cannabis use
  • Do some research on each strain before purchasing. Read user reviews or contact Bud Champion if you have any specific queries.
  • Check the laws in your country before purchasing and always buy from a reputable supplier. Many suppliers provide ingredient lists to give you an idea of the quality so be sure to check these out beforehand.

If you want to play things safe, a good option is to purchase a popular, high quality strain that’s been on the market for a while. These strains tend to have plenty of reviews to check out beforehand to put your mind at ease. Some of the most popular cannabis strains include:

CBD vs THC

Throughout your research into marijuana seeds and strains, you’ll come across two common terms: CBD and THC. CBD (cannabidiol) and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) are both cannabinoids found in the marijuana plant, and given that over 100 cannabinoids have been discovered to date, trying to understand all of the compounds and chemicals found in cannabis plants is a tall task. However, CBD and THC are the two most important cannabinoids in marijuana’s genetic make-up because these form the basis for the strain’s psychoactive and non-psychoactive effects. Therefore, if you see a strain that boasts high CBD or high THC content, you’ll immediately know what kind of effects to expect as a result.

Put simply, CBD offers non-intoxicating sensations and doesn’t alter moods or perceptions. Therefore CBD is favoured by the medical community and those who use cannabis for health purposes. By contrast, THC creates intoxicating sensations such as ‘head highs,’ increased alertness and improved energy levels. While cannabis plants are made up of various cannabinoids, CBD and THC are the two cannabinoids on the opposite ends of the psychoactive spectrum. High-CBD strains tend to be Indica-dominant products that address physical and mental ailments, whereas high-THC strains tend to be Sativa-dominant strains that provide intense highs and increased alertness.
