Buying Cannabis Seeds
When buying Cannabis seeds or marijuana seeds, choosing the best provider is a crucial decision. There are several strains available in the market. The superior qualities of seeds combined with favorable environment are some of the factors necessary for the plant to achieve its maximum growth.
Excellent quality of seeds is from fully matured harvest. Seeds should be kept in a dark, cold storage place for a maximum of 16 months to prevent molds from spoiling them.
There are specific marijuana seeds ideal for outdoor and indoor cultivation. The three principal types of strain include indica, sativa, and hybrid.
• Hybrid Strain
This is the product of cross breeding Cannabis sativa and indica strains. The resulting hybrid

It takes about 6-9 weeks for this variety to produce flower, which is a shorter duration compared to the sativa strain.
It has elevated levels of THC, which creates strong physical effects. These Cannabis seeds will make you sluggish and passive, but will ease muscle pain. Some of the diseases, which benefit from the medicinal properties of indica strain are glaucoma, migraine, muscle pain, seizure, and sleep disorders. Best indica strains include blueberry widow, caramelicious, chemdog, big blue cheese feminized, cheesecake feminized, cherry kush, purple kush, headband og feminized, and bomb feminized.
Cannabis contains two primary cannabinoids. These compounds are THC and CBD, which produces various effects to the body. THC affects your consciousness by allowing you to feel ecstatic.
CBD is the medicinal substance of cannabis, which generates anti-psychotic effects. It boosts the beneficial function and reduces the detrimental abilities of THC. Therefore, it is essential to consider your purpose of growing the plant to determine the appropriate strain, which contains your preferred

Gardeners who are starting to grow Cannabis can use this type of seed because it is more affordable and easy to grow. However, beginners need to recognize the difference between the male and female seeds. Another type is the feminized seed, which is propagated to become a female plant with plenty of buds. Growers using the regular and feminized seeds need to regulate the lighting to trigger lowering. The third type of seed is the auto flowering seeds, which voluntary begin their flowering period without intervention from the gardener. Hence, beginners also find this type advantageous for them, but breeders will not benefit from them. Furthermore, you can take advantage of the brief waiting time for its flowering period because it will give you abundant yield for several times in a
Thesis: Despite its legal status cannabis and CBD has been recognized as being beneficial in many ways. After all, cannabis and CBD has been medically beneficial when treating pain, seizures, and cancer.
Cannabis, originating from Central Asia, is in the plant family Cannabacae and has three types: Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica, and Cannabis ruderalis (Baron 2015). Cannabis with higher levels of delta⁹-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ⁹ -THC) and lower levels of cannabidiol (CBD) is referred to as marijuana, while another type of cannabis, “hemp,” has lower levels of delta⁹-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ⁹ -THC), higher levels of cannabidiol (CBD), and no psychoactive affect (2015). Hemp has a prominent history of being in medicine from the Greeks to the Indians (2015). Even before this product came to the west, physicians and scientists alike have been studying and experimenting with cannabis to determine whether it can be used medicinally to treat or help reduce symptoms of any mental or physical illnesses.
While cannabis still has its own risks, it’s overall a much safer option to treat chronic pain. Plus, when patients take the correct strain and dose, it doesn’t get them high. Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the non-psychoactive elements of cannabis that balances out THC—the psychoactive component. Many strains are meant to help relieve pain as well as improve mental clarity so patients can go about their daily lives. Compared to recreational users, patients need miniscule amounts of medical cannabis to obtain relief.
Probably one of the oldest plants known to man, Cannabis was cultivated for fiber, food, and medicine thousands of years before it became the "superstar" of the drug culture (Schultes, 1973). Cannabis, as it turns out, not only has many usage's, but has been employed in various ways by different cultures.
Industrial hemp is commonly cultivated for its fiber and seed, which are used to create a wide variety of products, including food, rope, cloth, paper, fuel, building materials, and hygiene products, such as soaps and lotions. Unlike marijuana, which is cultivated for medicinal, and recreational use, hemp is not psychoactive. Hemp differs from marijuana ingrowth structure and farming practice. While marijuana is cultivated primarily for its flowers, hemp is cultivated for its fibers and seeds, which are used for a wide variety of non-drug applications. Because of the way it grows, it produces much lower cannabinoid content than cannabis grown for euphoric or medicinal purposes. What we refer to as “hemp” or “industrial hemp” is a type of
Also, on the second day we observed that the seed in pH 5 was turning to a lighter color compared to the other seeds which stayed the same. Then again on day 5 pH 5 seedling stem was more white compared to the others which were more green. Lastly, in all of the different pHs at least 3 seeds germinated from each one.
There are three species of Marijuana. The most common and most psychoactive is a prepared mixture of the hemp plant, Cannabis sativa. Cannabis indica is known to be less potent and Cannabis ruderalis has virtually no psychoactive ingredients. Cannabis sativa will be analyzed in detail since it is the most commonly used species. This plant grows wild but it can be cultivated in temperate as well as tropical areas. Cannabis products can be smoked in pipes or cigarettes. They can also be ingested with food. Manufactured products range from paper to ink (WWW 2).
2) The most commonly used form of cannabis are the leaves and flowering tops which may be either smoked or eaten

There are at least two active chemicals in marijuana that have medicinal benefits. One chemical is cannabidiol (CBD), which appears to impact the brain without a high. The second chemical is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which has pain relieving and other properties.
Marijuana is the term for dried leaves, flowers, or stems of the cannabis plant, known as cannabinoids. Of these cannabinoids the “most pharmacologically active is delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, also...
The third largest agricultural good in the nation and a ten billion-dollar industry has nothing to do with the agriculture we are use to. This good is Marijuana, an illegal drug. It is "the most widely used illicit drug in America" n(Gold v). In Florida alone, marijuana sales are greater than all businesses except tourism (Gold v). What is marijuana? Marijuana, a plant, known as Cannabis Sativa, labeled that by Carolus Linnaeus in 1753 (Grinspoon 1), is "one of nature's hardiest specimens" (Abel ix). It can survive in any climatic condition possible, and flourishes like weeds do. Marijuana acts like a weed, stealing all the sunlight and nutrients around it. The soil needed for growing marijuana for its intoxicant, is dry thin soil, along with horse or cow manure (Grinspoon 40). It can grow to be from three to twenty feet at maturity (Abel ix), and grows at a rapid speed. Germination of the plants occurs simultaneously. Life shows six days after planting, and after two weeks, strong healthy leaves should have grown (Grinspoon 40). The marijuana plant is dioecious, which means that it grows separate male and female plants. The male plant is usually taller than the female plant, and dies after its flowering cycle (Abel 4). The female plant is bushier and "secretes a resin that covers the flowering tops and nearby leaves" (Abel 5). This resin is secreted by glandular hairs that are found on the leaves and is used to protect the marijuana plant from water loss (Gol...
Marijuana has many names it goes by ganja, herb, dank, green, bud, cannabis, dodi, weed, and mota the list keeps going on. There are also countless amounts of st...
Some types of plants are more difficult to clone than others. Big Bud is reported to not clone very well. One of my favorite plants, Mr. Kona, is the most amazing pot I ever smoked, but it is hard as hell to clone. What a challenge! I noticed other varieties that were rooting much quicker, but it was the stone I was after! Once you find the psychoactive, almost hallucinogenic properties of some Indica/Sativa hybrids, you never want to smoke a pure Indica again. Indica is however, great medicinally, so I like to grow a few pure strains too.
A considerable amount of literature has been published on cannabis specifically marijuana. These studies classify marijuana into three species: Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica, and cannabis ruderalis. In fact, Cannabis sativa is the most widely used and recognized among the other species due to its ability to produce more fiber and oil. For many years, the plant has been used for making clothes as well as lighting and soap. Nevertheless, cannabis is widely used at the present time for intoxication and medical treatments. Marijuana is usually extracted from the flowers of the female plant (Grinspoon & Bakalar, 1993). According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, marijuana is well-defined as the “dried leaves, flowers, stems, and seeds from the hemp plant Cannabis sativa, which contains the psychoactive (mind-altering) chemical delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), as well as other related compounds. This plant material can also be concentrated in a resin called hashish” (NIDA, 2014).
