Growing cannabis is as exciting as it is daunting. One of the most important decisions you have to make is choosing the seed that best suits your needs from a variety of options. However, in order to make the right choice and achieve the desired results, there are a few aspects to consider.
Good cannabis can be obtained either by purchase or by cultivation. In recent years, however, more and more users are opting to grow their own plants, putting their growing skills to the test as the best solution for a high-quality, reliable product while saving money.
In such cases, you no longer have to choose the best cannabis, but the seed that best suits their needs. But with the many options available, each with a different outcome in terms of effect, taste and aroma, finding a seed with genetics that suit one's personal taste is easier said than done.
We realize that the number of things to consider can be overwhelming. That's why we've put together a list of tips to help guide you in choosing the right seed for you.

Knowledge is power
The first step to finding the find the seed that best suits a particular situation is research. As with any other product - e.g. a Auto, an item of clothing or a cell phone - you need to make sure it offers the features you are looking for so you don't waste your money.
For this reason, it is important that you take the time to get to know the product. You can do this by talking to experienced cannabists, visiting industry websites and forums, and getting advice from professionals like Mr. Hanf who will be happy to guide you through every step of the decision-making process.
Know your prospect - and what you want
In Alice in Wonderland there's a passage where Alice asks which is the best way out, to which the cat responds, depending on where you go. Well, this conversation applies to anyone who wants to find the find the best cannabis seed as the choice ultimately depends on the desired results.
Finding the seed that works best for you is a good idea, compare each strain on a feature-by-feature basis, until you find one that matches your preferences. For example, if a seed seeker has high psychoactivity, one should look for strains with high THC. However, if one is looking for relaxation, the focus should be on CBD relaxation. Other aspects to consider are the terpene profile, which determines the flavor, and how time consuming the strain is.
Adaptability to the environment
As Darwin's theory of evolution shows the environment can have a major influence on how healthy animals and plants grow. Accordingly, when selecting a seed, it is important to ensure that it is compatible with the characteristics of the environment in which it is to be grown, as this allows for better results with less effort.
A key aspect here is climate, as conditions in the northern hemisphere differ greatly from those in the tropics and southern hemisphere. Due to their equatorial nature, sativa strains can prove problematic in temperate climates, but thrive in tropical areas.
Warm, dry climates with mild wind conditions is particularly suitable for Afghani strains from North Africa, Central Asia and South America, while warm, humid climates are more suitable for Hawaiian, Thai, Brazilian and African coastal strains.
While we now have the ability to grow virtually anywhere in the world, regardless of strain, thanks to technological developments, this can lead to higher costs in terms of time and money. Hence the importance of geographical and meteorological aspects.
Keep your eyes wide open
To achieve the best possible results, cannabis breeders, especially the experienced ones, are always on the lookout for the optimal version of the strains they breed, the special phenotype that can really make the difference. And when they find it, implement the processes to stabilize the genetics in subsequent generations. The resulting hybrids are labeled to avoid confusion - first generation crosses are labeled as F1, second generation crosses as F2, etc. in a process that makes it easier to achieve the desired result, as this is a way to ensure that the desired traits are expressed in the offspring.
Learn from the mistakes and enjoy the process
Accept the results It's as simple as that. Even if a grower does everything by the book and makes every effort to ensure that the plants are well cared for, all natural processes come with an unpredictable margin that can lead to good and bad surprises.
Furthermore, the growing cannabis from seed is more difficult than cutting, and sometimes the result can differ from expectations. But remember that practice makes perfect. Even if the result isn't as good as expected on the first try, beginners gain control over their plants as they gain experience, minimizing the chance of a nasty surprise.
We hope these tips have been useful for growing your own seeds. Remember that there are varieties to suit every taste, grower and user, and that you can find the best of everything at Mr. Hanf.
