Choosing Marijuana Seeds 

Choosing Marijuana Seeds

Seed Selection
Seed selection is the most important consideration in growing outdoor Cannabis and is also where most people will blow any chance of having a good crop of high potency Cannabis buds. If you do everything else perfectly the odds are that you will still only have some nice tall leafy plants with no buds at all (much less mature buds) if you don't pay special attention to acquiring seeds that conform to our specific environmental conditions. Did I mention that seed selection is important?

Genetics

Selecting potent seeds is a given yet many people will fail at this point. To understand the genetics of potency one must consider this: If you plant yellow corn you are not going to get blue corn no matter what you do to the plant. Yes they are both corn, but yellow corn is yellow corn and blue corn is blue corn - two different things. The reason why one seed will grow yellow corn and the other will grow blue corn is because of the genetics of the seed. The look of the seed does not matter. What matters is: Will the seed sprout and does it have the genetics to produce potent buds in our environment?

Seeds with the genetics to produce potent Cannabis will produce potent Cannabis if you give them enough light, water, and nutrients and keep them free from diseases and pests. Seeds with shitty genetics will produce shitty Cannabis no matter what you do to your plants so don't waste a single minute of time on any seeds that you can not be absolutely positive are going to produce high quality cannabis. Do the math: Schwag is worth $80 per ounce and Kind bud is worth over $400 per ounce. Which would you rather grow? It's just not worth messing with any seeds at all that do not come from a reputable source with a guaranty to their high quality. Remember that if you ever get busted that you will get in the same amount of trouble if you are growing plants that won't even get you high as you will if you have really potent plants.

So you have a bag of potent pot and there are a few seeds. You figure that you have found the perfect seeds . . . WRONG! Besides the other considerations you have to ask yourself: Who is the Dad? Just because the momma plant whose buds you are smoking is really potent doesn't mean that the male plant that pollinated it is worth a damn. It takes two to tango and the male plant that did the nasty with your female plant could just be the scum of the earth . . . a bad seed. Get your seeds from a reputable source or don't play at all. One source really cheap but still really good is Nirvana Seeds, from the famous Amsterdam seeds company.
