Regular Seeds
Regular is like “old school.” These seeds can grow into either boys or girls. That is, when they grow up, you have to see for yourself who is who and remove the boys if you don’t want all your girls to start pollinating and producing a bunch of seeds. Once, I was too lazy to bother, and ended up with bushes full of seeds and no idea why I had bothered. But the cool thing is that you can crossbreed and clone Regulars, which is a real find for those who like to experiment.
Autoflower Seeds
Autoflower is a lifesaver for lazy people like me. These guys bloom on their own, no need to tell them when it’s day or night. Just put up a lamp, and that’s it, they decide when to bloom. And they do it pretty quickly — in about 2-3 months, you can already smoke them. But there is a caveat — they are not particularly amenable to cloning, and if you mess up, there’s no going back. Once, one of my bushes just didn’t grow properly, and I realized it too late, and there was no way to replant or redo it.
Feminized Seeds
Feminized seeds are my favorites. These are seeds that are almost guaranteed to grow into girls. That means all your bushes will bloom and bring you joy, and you don’t have to worry about which ones are male. It’s very convenient. Especially if you don’t have much space or don’t want to play botanist. Just plant them and you know everything will be fine. Although, to be honest, I once got a hermaphrodite from a feminized seed (that’s when the bush is both female and male), but that’s more of an exception.
WEEDSEEDSGARDEN
In short, there is a website called WEEDSEEDSGARDEN. It’s a corner of the internet where everything related to cannabis seeds in the US is gathered together. You know, when I was just starting out, I also scoured various forums looking for information, but half of it was vague or outdated. But here, everything is laid out clearly — which seeds are best, where to buy them, what to look for, and how to avoid getting into trouble with the law and quality issues.
What I liked was that they really try to help beginners, not just sell them seeds. There are explanations about different types of seeds — Regular, Autoflower, Feminized, and they even talk about all kinds of rare stuff. The coolest thing is that all the information is tailored to American realities, because we have our own laws here, and not all websites from Europe or Canada are suitable for advice.
And buying seeds is a separate topic. For example, there’s Weed Seeds Amazon — it seems convenient, you go there and choose, but it’s not always clear where they come from and who is responsible for their quality. WEEDSEEDSGARDEN actually checks suppliers, writes about the pros and cons, and helps you make the right choice so that you don’t end up with bad seeds or long delivery times.
By the way, the site also collects reviews from real people who have already placed orders, so you don’t have to guess, you can just read how it worked out for them. When I started, I learned a lot from there, and even visited a couple of times just to read the latest news and new varieties.
In general, if you want to delve into the subject and not just blindly buy whatever you can find, WEEDSEEDSGARDEN is like your friend who will help you out and tell you where it’s really worth buying seeds and where it’s better to pass by. Everything there is normal, without pretension, with understandable words and sometimes with humor, so it’s not boring.
So, if you’re planning to get started, or are just curious, be sure to check it out. It’s not just a store, but a resource that helps you navigate the American cannabis seed market. Seriously, it really helped me avoid a lot of mistakes and save time and money. And it lifted my spirits, because the information is presented in a friendly way, without unnecessary fuss.
So, I hope everything is clear now, but if you have any questions, just ask!

FAQ
Basically, it’s an online store where you can find and buy cannabis seeds. Not just any old crap, but really cool strains, and there’s a huge selection. When I first visited the site, I was blown away by the range.
Well, if you’re in a state where cultivation is permitted, there’s no problem. The website itself warns that you are buying at your own risk and not for sale, but for collection or research. So I would say, read the laws of your state and decide for yourself.
It’s pretty good. I’ve ordered a couple of times, and the packages took a couple of weeks to arrive. They were neatly packaged, with no “smelly” hint of the contents, so there were no problems with customs. But remember, there is still a risk — it depends on luck.
Well, it varies — there are expensive varieties that are worth their weight in gold, and there are budget ones. I usually go for something in the middle so I can figure out what’s what and not feel bad about it. In general, you can find something for any budget.
Sometimes they don’t respond very quickly, but if you write patiently, they will help you. They responded to me a couple of times after a couple of days, so it’s not exactly super fast, but still.
