Cheap Marijuana Seeds FAQs
Cheap marijuana seeds can grow just as well as pricey ones when they come from a reputable seed bank. Below, Kind Seed Co answers the questions shoppers ask most about budget seeds, from why prices vary to how to spot fake seeds and which high THC strains to look at.
Why seed prices vary so much
Seed prices differ a lot from one seed bank to the next. We keep our prices low so more home growers can afford to start their own garden. Browse our cheap seeds to see what is on offer.
What “marijuana seeds” means on our site
Seeds bought online are real cannabis seeds, but seed banks use different names for different types. On our site, “marijuana seeds” means regular seeds. They have not been feminized, so each one can grow into a male or a female plant. You can find them in our regular marijuana seeds section.
Picking the best seeds for your grow
F1 seeds are a strong choice if you want top genetics. They are bred for high yields and potency, and F1 strains tend to produce more uniform plants, flowers and seeds than typical strains, and many are hardy. See our F1 cannabis strains.
Seeds vs plants: which costs less
Seeds are generally the cheaper option. When you buy a clone or seed start, you pay for someone else’s time spent handling each cutting. Starting from seed lets you raise your own plant from day one at the lowest cost.
How to tell if seeds are fake
The only sure way to know is to germinate them and see how they grow. If the plant grows true to the strain you ordered, the seed was legit. The easiest safeguard is to buy from a reputable seed bank.
Many websites say legit seeds must have a certain size, color or shape. That is not really true. Smaller or oddly colored seeds often perform just as well as larger ones, so keep an open mind and plant them.
Our high THC picks
Among our highest THC potential strains are Fat Bastard Photo Fem and Fat Bastard Auto Fem, both with THC potential of up to 38%. Close behind:
- Future 1 Photo Fem. THC potential up to 37%.
- Florida Sunrise Auto Fem. THC potential up to 30%.
Remember that these figures are potential, not a lab result from your own garden. For more options, browse our high THC feminized seeds and high THC autoflower seeds.
How to grow your best marijuana
Under normal conditions, cannabis grows quite easily. Every strain has its own ideal formula, though. The best way to learn it is to grow several plants of the same strain and stick with that strain for more than one batch. It takes time to dial in the right temperature, light schedule, nutrients and harvest time, and the only way to learn is by growing.
Many new growers buy the smallest pack of lots of strains. They never get to know any one strain’s quirks and often have less success than growers who focus on one.
If you are just starting out, try autoflower seeds. They flower without a light change, which makes the whole grow simpler. Our grow guide for autoflowering cannabis plants walks you through it.
