Cannabis Seeds Glossary – Genetics, Phenotypes & Growing Terms.

Image
  Cannabis Seeds Glossary – Genetics, Phenotypes & Growing Terms. Cannabis growing comes with a lot of terminology, and for new growers especially, it can feel overwhelming. Understanding the language around cannabis  seeds , genetics, and plant behaviour makes it far easier to choose the right seeds, spot issues early, and grow with confidence. At Discount Cannabis Seeds, we believe knowledge should be clear and accessible. This glossary explains the most important cannabis seed and growing terms, written in plain English — no unnecessary jargon. Auto Flower . Auto flower cannabis  seeds  produce plants that flower automatically based on age, rather than light cycle. Autos are fast-growing, compact, and popular with beginners. Cannabinoids . Naturally occurring compounds found in cannabis resin, including THC, CBD, CBG, and others. Cannabinoids influence effects, potency, and medicinal properties. Clone . A cutting taken from a cannabis plant and rooted to creat...

Cannabis Seeds: The Ultimate Cannabis Seeds Buying Guide.

  Cannabis Seeds: The Ultimate Cannabis Seeds Buying Guide. Buying cannabis  seeds  can feel confusing — especially with so many strain names, seed types, and claims to choose from. New growers often worry about making the wrong choice, while experienced growers want reliability, consistency, and value. The truth is, buying the right cannabis  seeds  comes down to matching genetics to your goals, space, and experience. At Discount Cannabis Seeds, we help growers make confident decisions every day. This buying guide breaks down exactly what to look for when purchasing cannabis  seeds , what matters most, and what myths you can safely ignore. Step 1: Know Your Grow Space . Before looking at strain names, understand your environment. Ask yourself: Are you growing indoors, outdoors, or in a greenhouse? How much vertical height do you have? Do you need discreet, low-odour plants? Your space determines which cannabis seeds will perform best. Step 2: Choose the Ri...

Cannabis Seeds: The Complete Guide to Cannabis Seeds.

  Cannabis Seeds: The Complete Guide to Cannabis Seeds. Cannabis seeds are the foundation of every successful grow. From plant structure and yield to flavour, potency, and resilience, everything begins with genetics. Whether you’re a first-time grower or someone with years of experience, understanding cannabis seeds properly helps you make better decisions, avoid common mistakes, and get consistent results. At Discount Cannabis Seeds, we believe informed growers grow better. This complete guide brings together everything you need to know about cannabis seeds — how they work, the different types available, what affects performance, and how to choose the right seeds for your goals. What Are Cannabis Seeds? Cannabis seeds contain the full genetic blueprint of a cannabis plant. Inside each seed is the information that determines: Plant size and structure Flowering time Yield potential Cannabinoid levels (THC, CBD, etc.) Terpene profile Resistance to stress, pests, and mould Once germin...

Why Some Cannabis Seeds Produce Smaller Plants With Stronger Effects.

  Why Some Cannabis Seeds Produce Smaller Plants With Stronger Effects. Many growers assume that bigger plants automatically mean stronger cannabis. In reality, some of the most potent and memorable plants come from small, compact cannabis plants grown from carefully selected genetics. If you’ve ever harvested a modest-sized plant that delivered surprisingly powerful effects, genetics are the reason. At Discount Cannabis Seeds, we regularly explain that plant size and potency are not directly linked. This guide breaks down why some cannabis  seeds  produce smaller plants with stronger effects, how genetics control this balance, and what growers should realistically expect. Plant Size and Potency Are Separate Genetic Traits . Cannabis  seeds  carry multiple independent genetic traits. These include: Plant height and structure Flower density Resin production Cannabinoid levels Terpene expression A seed can produce a small plant while still carrying genetics for hi...

What to Expect From Cannabis Seeds on Your First Grow.

  What to Expect From Cannabis Seeds on Your First Grow. Growing cannabis from seed for the first time is exciting — but it can also feel overwhelming. New growers often expect fast results, perfect plants, and identical outcomes from every seed . The reality is a little different, and understanding what’s normal versus what’s a problem can make your first grow far more enjoyable. At Discount Cannabis Seeds, we speak to first‑time growers every day. This guide explains what to expect from cannabis seeds on your first grow, from germination through harvest, so you can grow with confidence and realistic expectations. Cannabis Seeds Are Not All Identical . One of the first surprises for new growers is that cannabis seeds — even from the same pack — don’t always produce identical plants. On your first grow, it’s normal to see differences in: Plant height Leaf shape Growth speed Aroma Bud structure This is due to natural genetic variation (phenotypes) and is not a sign of bad cannabis s...

Why Cannabis Seeds From the Same Pack Grow Differently (Phenotypes Explained).

  Why Cannabis Seeds From the Same Pack Grow Differently (Phenotypes Explained). If you’ve ever grown multiple cannabis  seeds  from the same pack and noticed that the plants don’t look, smell, or perform exactly the same, you’re not alone. This is one of the most common questions growers ask — and the answer is phenotypes. At Discount Cannabis Seeds, we regularly explain that variation between plants does not automatically mean poor genetics. In many cases, it’s a completely natural and expected part of growing from seed. This guide explains what phenotypes are, why they happen, and what they mean for your grow. What Is a Cannabis Phenotype? A phenotype is the visible expression of a plant’s genetics. While every cannabis  seeds  carries genetic information from the same parent plants, not every seed expresses those traits in exactly the same way. Phenotypes are the result of how genetics and environment interact. Think of it like siblings — related, but not id...

How Cannabis Seeds Genetics Affect Internodal Spacing & Stretch.

Image
  How Cannabis Seeds Genetics Affect Internodal Spacing & Stretch. Internodal spacing and stretch are two of the most important — and most misunderstood — aspects of cannabis plant structure. They determine how tall a plant grows, how light penetrates the canopy, how buds form, and how manageable a grow will be. While lighting and training influence plant shape, the foundation of internodal spacing and stretch is set at the cannabis seed level. At Discount Cannabis Seeds, we regularly explain that you cannot fully control stretch through environment alone. This guide explores how cannabis seeds genetics affect internodal spacing and stretch, why some plants stay compact while others explode upwards, and how to choose seeds that suit your space. What Are Internodes and Stretch? Internodes are the spaces between nodes (where branches and leaves emerge) Stretch refers to the rapid vertical growth that occurs, most notably during early flowering Both traits directly affect final p...
