Cannabis Seeds
There are two main techniques
for planting cannabis seeds that produce varying results.
Growers may choose to
plant cannabis seeds in outdoor soil or to grow their plants through
hydroponics means, a technique of growing plants (without soil)
in water containing dissolved nutrients.
Planting cannabis seeds outdoors produces…
- A taller, spindlier plant
- Fewer, but larger and
weightier floral buds
- Stronger floral odor
sometimes reminiscent of citrus
Planting with hydroponics produces…
- A fuller, more robust
plant
- More but smaller and
lighter floral buds
- Less floral odor
The THC content of plants grown from cannabis seeds planted outdoors
is usually on the high end, around 25%. Cannabis seeds planted in
natural outdoor soil create a plant with a tight small ball of roots
that no doubt contributes to the plants leaner growth.
While soil grown seeds
produce fewer buds per plant that never become anywhere near the
size of those grown with hydroponics, the floral clusters make up
for these shortcomings in size and odor.
Depending on where you
live, growing seeds outdoors, away from your home reduces your risk
of possibly being criminally investigated. However, deer love plants
grown from cannabis seeds and there is always the risk that someone
may stumble upon your crop and relieve you of it.
