When you decide that you are going to dabble in cannabis cultivation, you have many different decisions to make. <\/span>You\u2019ll have to decide whether you\u2019re growing indoors or outdoors<\/span><\/a>, as well as in soil, or the route of hydroponics. You\u2019ll also have to pick what type of planters to use, what grow medium to use, lights, and more. One of the biggest decisions you will need to make is whether you are growing from seed or clone. Both will produce beautiful buds, but there are some major differences.

Choosing the Right Seed for Growing Cannabis<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You have the choice of indica, sativa, or hybrid, but you will have to choose whether it will be a regular, feminized, or autoflowering cannabis seed. The difference between these seeds will determine many things about your cannabis grow, including the development of the taproot. The number of supplies needed, the space needed, and the potential yield are all affected by the type of seed you grow. It\u2019s also worth mentioning that seed banks offer a wide variety of options, so you can explore different strains and genetics for your cannabis cultivation journey. Choosing regular cannabis seeds will give you both male and female cannabis plants. <\/span>This means that after germination, you will have to sex your plants<\/span><\/a>, removing all males from your grow, most likely preventing the development of hermaphrodite plants.
