Weed seeds are tiny, complicated phenomenons. Especially for someone who has little experience with cannabis seeds or growing cannabis, they can raise many questions. Therefore we listed the 24 most frequently asked questions (FAQ’s) about cannabis seeds for you on this page.
FAQ: What’s The Difference Between Male And Female Cannabis Seeds?
The cannabis plant is a hermaphroditic plant, which means that there are male and female plants. The female plant produces flowers and resin and this is used for growing cannabis. The male plant only produces pollen and is otherwise of no use.
A male plant can fertilize a female plant which will cause the female plant to create new seeds. The consequence of the female plant creating seeds is that energy is lost and therefore less weed can be harvested. Male plants are therefore not used and are removed. For this reason some suppliers only sell female seeds.
FAQ: How Do You Know The Difference Between A Male And A Female Plant?
A male plant is often long, thin and has fewer leaves. When the plant starts to flower, a male plant will produce seed balls. A female plant will never do this. So that is the first clear indicator.
FAQ: Can I Grow A Male Plant Myself?
Yes, you can grow a male cannabis plant if you start with regular seed. Regular seeds are seeds that are not feminized.
FAQ: Do You Also Advertise Suppliers That Sell Male Or Regular Seeds?
Because there is very little demand for regular or male cannabis seeds there aren’t many suppliers that sell male seeds. Most only sell feminized seeds which grow female marijuana plants, but get in touch with us when you are eager to buy male seeds and we’ll find you a suitable supplier.

How Do You Store Cannabis Seeds?
If you are not going to use cannabis seeds right away, it is important that you store them properly. If you do not do that, they will lose their germinating power and become unusable. Storing cannabis seeds properly is therefore very important if you want to grow beautiful plants.
Weed seeds should be stored in a dark and cool place. The refrigerator is perfect. Make sure you keep them airtight at a temperature of 37 to 45 degrees Fahrenheit. It is really important to keep them airtight. This way no moisture can reach the seeds. If this does happen, the germination can be reduced very quickly. Put the cannabis seeds in a tightly sealed bag to ensure that nothing can get to them. If you store your beloved seeds airtight, watertight, dark and at the right temperature, they can be kept for up to 10 years!
