The legality of buying and growing cannabis seeds varies by country. In many places, purchasing cannabis seeds is legal for souvenir, collectible, or research purposes, but cultivation may require specific permits or be restricted.

At Terp Hunters, we strongly advise customers to check their local laws before making a purchase. Our seeds are sold strictly for legal use.

Choosing the right type of seed is essential for a successful grow.

Feminized Seeds → Guaranteed to produce only female plants, meaning higher yields with no male plants to remove. They require a 12/12 light cycle (12 hours light, 12 hours darkness) to start flowering.

Autoflowering Seeds → Transition to flowering automatically, regardless of the light cycle. They have a faster growth cycle (8-10 weeks from seed to harvest), making them ideal for beginners and quick harvests.

Both options have their benefits—your choice depends on your experience, grow setup, and desired yield.

Proper storage ensures that your seeds stay fresh and viable for years.

Keep them cool – Store at 4-8 °C in a refrigerator or a dry, dark place. Control humidity – Keep humidity at 20-30% to prevent mold or premature germination. Use airtight containers – Glass jars or vacuum-sealed bags work best. Avoid light & temperature fluctuations – Exposure to heat or direct light can reduce germination rates.

Pro Tip: With proper storage, cannabis seeds can stay viable for over 5 years.

Each strain type has distinct effects and growing characteristics.

Sativa → Energizing, uplifting, and creativity-boosting. Ideal for daytime use and mental stimulation.

Indica → Relaxing, body-focused effects. Perfect for nighttime use, stress relief, and better sleep.

Hybrid → A mix of both, offering balanced effects depending on the strain’s genetics.

Understanding these differences helps you find the perfect strain for your needs.

Follow this simple step-by-step method for a high germination success rate:

• Soak seeds in water for 12-24 hours until they slightly expand.
• Place them on a damp paper towel, inside a plastic bag or between two plates to retain moisture.
• Store in a warm, dark place at 20-25 °C.
• Check daily – Within 24-72 hours, the seeds should sprout with visible taproots.
• Carefully plant the sprouted seeds 1-2 cm deep in soil or another growing medium, taproot facing downward.
  
  Tip: Maintaining 70% humidity during germination can improve success rates even further.
