Cannabis Seeds

There are two main techniques for planting cannabis seeds that produce varying results.

Growers may choose to plant cannabis seeds in outdoor soil or to grow their plants through hydroponics means, a technique of growing plants (without soil) in water containing dissolved nutrients.

Planting cannabis seeds outdoors produces…

- A taller, spindlier plant

- Fewer, but larger and weightier floral buds

- Stronger floral odor sometimes reminiscent of citrus

Planting with hydroponics produces…

- A fuller, more robust plant

- More but smaller and lighter floral buds

- Less floral odor


The THC content of plants grown from cannabis seeds planted outdoors is usually on the high end, around 25%. Cannabis seeds planted in natural outdoor soil create a plant with a tight small ball of roots that no doubt contributes to the plants leaner growth.

While soil grown seeds produce fewer buds per plant that never become anywhere near the size of those grown with hydroponics, the floral clusters make up for these shortcomings in size and odor.

Depending on where you live, growing seeds outdoors, away from your home reduces your risk of possibly being criminally investigated. However, deer love plants grown from cannabis seeds and there is always the risk that someone may stumble upon your crop and relieve you of it.
