BAG SEEDS

Bag seeds are the seeds in the Cannabis you buy, which were not intended to be grown to produce seeds a lot of time. If the herb is good that they came from especially if the bud still has seed intact you should get good results if you germinate and grow them.

Commercial and smuggled Cannabis is usually not fully potent due to packaging and handling, but seeds from it if grown properly can give excellent if not amazing results. Seeds should be dark brown with markings. Make sure that they are firm when you squeeze them to make sure they good and viable.

The general rule is if the mother is good, the children should at least be just as good or better, but if the father is bad it will probably show in the progeny of the siblings.

Plant Maturity and Cannabinoid Levels

Plants of the Cannabis variety have the tendency to get more potent as they get older. A plant that is 2 months old is old enough to flower properly, but won’t be as strong as a 6 month old. A 8 month old plant is probably the peak, but it depends on your conditions, actual age of the plant, and strain. The high over time can warp. That’s why Elite clones that have been in existence for decades may have such sought after highs. Clones have the age of the initial mother plant grown from a seed. Some plant types have been cloned for over 20 years without problems.

WHEN LOOKING AT CANNABIS PLANT LEAVES


Cannabis plant leaves represent genetics. For instance pure Indica’s have 3 to 5 finger leaves. Mostly Indica, has 3 to 7 fingers, usually no more than 7.

Pure Sativa has 7 ore more, even up to 13 fingers. Mostly Sativa has 7 or more. Remember that Cannabis are Hybrid, no matter what the leaf configuration is. It is never a 100% accurate way of telling the variety dominance, but it can give you a good idea if you have a Cannabis strain that is unknown to you.

Indica’s are usually dark, green and have shorter spaces between internodes (the spaces that divide branches and leaf stems) and mature quicker.

Sativa’s are long, lanky, grow fast , and are usually a light green color due to it being from places where sun light is very intense. Because of this it produces more of a pigment that gives the plant the ability to protect itself.

For the most part Sativa’s take an average of 10 – 12 weeks to finish flowering, from the time you induce flowering. Indica’s take 6 – 8 weeks. But the biggest difference is in the highs or stimulations. Sativa’s are more cerebral and energetic, where as Indica’s are stoney, lazy, and sedative. However, this is not true for all Cannabis. Remember, Cannabis is a very diverse plant that has made liars out of many people.
