Regular Cannabis Seeds — the foundation of serious cultivation
Regular seeds produce ~50 % male and ~50 % female plants. They are the foundation of breeding, phenohunting and stable mother-plant programs.
TL;DR: Regular = not feminized. Advantages: no hermaphrodite tendency, ideal for mothers and breeding. Price CHF 3–8/seed.
What regular means
Seeds from natural pollination. Statistically 50/50 ♂/♀; in reality 40–60 %.
Unlike feminized seeds (stress-induced via colloidal silver), regular seeds carry no genetic stress trauma — lower hermaphrodite rate.
When to choose regular
Breeding: males provide pollen. No breeder skips this.
Phenohunt: 20–30 seeds → 1–2 elite phenotypes → mothers.
Sexing — spotting males early
Weeks 4–6 in veg: preflowers. Males = pollen sacs, females = white pistils.
Remove males before sacs burst or the whole room gets pollinated.
