How to Pick Your Perfect Cannabis Seed
When it involves collecting, the most exciting things you can choose 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 and most daunting collections to begin.
One of many quests some collectors undertake would be to try and find their perfect cannabis seed. Every different strain holds another set of attributes that may combine to offer you an ideal seed that matches your taste. Here is what to look for...
THC
THC stands for 'Tetrahydrocannabinol'. It is the main psychoactive component within a fully grown cannabis plant so when you look for seeds you will notice the THC percentage listed. While your seeds won't contain any actual THC, every strain has been made 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 it will be possible to test it out. If you're not, you will need to make do together 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 just how much cannabis it might make if it were legal to cultivate it. Yield is generally measured in grams and is exercised by the common 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.
edibles
Choosing a strain is not only about the vital statistics though. You find fairly similar THC and yield levels on different cannabis seeds so you need to pick a strain you like. A good way to do this is to look at ones which have won legitimate awards for quality. Probably the most prestigious of which is obviously the High Times Cannabis Cup. Every year they judge what seed bank and what individual cannabis seed is a good of the entire year. Feminized seeds are probably the most de rigueur at the moment.
