What are the cheapest cannabis seeds? [answered]


A commentor asked the question "What are the cheapest cannabis seeds?"

Answer by Jared Cox

Let's evaluate what will be the cheapest cannabis seeds for your growing needs, step-by-step. Note this information is for legal cannabis cultivators only.

First step: Do you want Regular, Feminized or Autoflowering seeds?

Feminized Seeds


Feminized seeds are the most popular selling cannabis seeds, by far. Feminized seeds make up for over 70% of the marijuana seeds available online and can be purchased very affordably in single seed pick n' mix packets.

Feminized seeds are made by stressing a female plant into producing male pollen. This is done usually with colloidal silver.
Then the pollen is collected and bred with another female plant. As these feminized seeds are made breeding two female cannabis plants together, there is no male to provide a Y chromosome making all these feminized seeds XX chromosomes.

Cannabis cultivators who are under strict plant limitations, or any grower who does not want to deal with male cannabis plants prefer using feminized seeds.

Regular Seeds


Regular seeds are the backbone of the cannabis species. Without regular seeds, cannabis would not be able to reproduce in the wild.

Both male and female plants spawn from regular seeds. While being surprised by male plants may be undesireable for some growers, the option to breed (make your own seeds) offers a different advantage.

Breeders, strain collectors, and lots of diehard cannabis enthusiasts stick by the trusted regular seed strains. Regular seeds can be priced very inexpensively in packs of 10 or more.

Autoflowering Seeds


Autoflowering seeds spawn plants unaffected by daylight (photoperiod) changes. This non-photoperiodism is due to cannabis indica and sativa plants being crossbred with a wild hemp variety called cannabis ruderalis.

These strains short lifecycle attracts many growers to these cheap weed seeds.
Autoflowering strains are best grown under maximum amount of lighting. 18-24 hours of light per day throughout the plants' entire lifecycle will have autoflowering strains that yield well in crowded spaces.

Indoor SoG, SCROG, closet growers and grow tent growers love the quick lifecycle and continous growth of autoflowering strains from seed.

Second step: Do you want sativa, indica or a hybrid?


Sativa


Sativa strains spawn large growing tall cannabis plants. These sativa strains flower for a longer time than their indica cousins. Sativa strains often contain a higher amount of THC and a lower amount of CBD in their flowers.

Sativa seeds can be found cheap, especially as regular seeds. ACE Seeds is a great company that makes a line of rare and landrace cannabis genetics.

Indica


Indica strains grow fat and bushy. These indica strains produce very resinous and sticky buds that flower in a short timeframe. Indica strains are often have a higher CBD content and lower THC content than sativa strains.

Indica seeds can also be found affordably online at seed banks. World of Seeds has a line of moderately-priced landrace indica strains, in both feminzed and regular seed form.

Hybrids


Nearly all of the most popular strains going around today are hybrids of cannabis indica and cannabis sativa. The reason hybrids are so widespread is due to their fast-flowering indica traits combined with their large growing sativa traits, making a few very high yielding hybrids (Blue Dream, Sour Diesel, Skunk #1, ect.). Hybrid strains come in a hodgepodge of different options, and cannabinoid (THC, CBD, THCV, ect.) content.

Hybrid seeds are easy to find priced affordable at all cannabis seed banks. Also, 99% of the time seed banks give out hybrid feminized seed singles (pick n mix) absolutely free with each order!

Final step: Get the most seeds for your money

 

Free seeds

In order to get the best bang for your buck, it's important to know each seed banks free seed offers.

Seed banks like Seedsman and the Attitude offer multiple strains on a price tier. The higher your order total is, the more free strains (in single feminized seed packs) that you get.

Whether you buy a cheap 10 pack of regs or a few single pick n mix feminized seeds, orders with a higher total will get more free seeds. You may consider buying seeds less frequently, or combining orders with a friend to get the maximum amount of free seeds.

Cheapest Seed Banks to buy


There are many trusted seed banks to buy cannabis seeds affordably. Here's a list of good cheap cannabis seeds. Most seedbanks have low-priced seeds covering all options (feminized, regular, autoflowering, sativa, indica hybrids) plus specialty varieties (landrace, IBL, SuperAuto).
A few honorable mentions of good seedbanks to buy cheap seeds at:
  • Seedsman
  • Seed Supreme
  • Alchimia
  • The Attitude Seeds
  • Bonza Seeds
  • Oaseeds
  • Herbies HeadShop
