When it comes to collecting, just about the most exciting things you can elect to collect are cannabis seeds. These controversial little beans are perhaps one of the most genetically engineered natural products available, probably only slightly behind roses. The amazing characteristics combined with the sheer number of different strains of seed available make them probably the most interesting & most daunting collections to begin.

Among the quests some collectors undertake is to try and find their perfect cannabis seed. Every different strain holds a different set of attributes which will combine to offer you the perfect seed that matches your taste. This is what to look for…

THC

THC stands for ‘Tetrahydrocannabinol’. This can be the main psychoactive component found in a fully grown cannabis plant and when you look for seeds you will see the THC percentage listed. While your seeds won’t contain any actual THC, every strain has been designed to reliably produce a plant that may have this degree of THC. If you are lucky enough to live in a country where growing cannabis is legal you will be able to test it out. If you’re not, you will need to make do with your perfect seed having the potential to produce certain degrees of THC.

Yield

Another thing you could find out about your cannabis seed is how much cannabis it could make if it were legal to cultivate it. Yield is generally measured in grams and is exercised by the average yield found by the breeder. If you like to know your seed could create a high yield this is an attribute you could look at.

Strain

Choosing a strain isn’t just about the vital statistics though. cartridge dispensary deals find fairly similar THC and yield levels on different cannabis seeds which means you need to pick a strain you like. A sensible way to do this is to look at ones which have won legitimate awards for quality. Probably the most prestigious of which is certainly the High Times Cannabis Cup. Every year they judge what seed bank and what individual cannabis seed is best of the entire year. Feminized seeds are probably the most de rigueur at the moment.
