Swapping Your Favourite Cannabis Seed for a New Variant? Which One Do You Choose

You’ve already mastered growing your favourite cannabis strain. Now, it’s time to branch off and put your skills to the test with a new variant. Switching to a new cannabis strain is always exciting for growers. Every strain offers a different growing experience, and you’ll anticipate consuming a new harvest.

With nearly 40 years of experience, Amsterdam Genetics has developed a collection of 40+ cannabis seeds for different strains. Selecting a new strain to grow feels like draft day! How do you decide which you should add to your repertoire? Here’s a checklist to find your next cannabis seed:

  • THC vs CBD cannabis seeds
  • Indoor vs. Outdoor growing
  • Bud traits
  • Effects
  • Cannabis seed type

Let’s help you find your next favourite cannabis seed to grow at home.

 

THC or CBD cannabis seeds

Cannabis seeds aren’t only for producing THC buds. You can also find CBD cannabis seeds. Swap for CBD seeds if you want to explore more of the medical benefits of cannabis.

While the buds produced by CBD cannabis seeds look just like regular buds, the biggest distinction is that they don’t get you high. Our Blue Monkey CBD cannabis seeds produce only 0.3% THC and 11.4% CBD.

THC and CBD cannabis seeds have the same growing process.

 

Indoor vs. outdoor cultivation

The cannabis seed you choose next depends on where you plan to cultivate. Growing the same seed in a different setting can yield very different results. Also, some strains have better genetics, making them preferred in one setting over another.

Growing indoors gives control over your growing environment. Growing outdoors gives your cannabis plants access to beneficial natural resources like sunlight. Finding the optimal setting to plant your cannabis seeds will help you achieve your ideal harvest.

Indica cannabis seeds are popular for growing indoors since they are smaller plants. Also, unique cannabis seeds like these purple cannabis strains showcase a spectrum of colours based on how you manage lighting at different stages. Use a bigger grow space to let sativa cannabis plants mature to their full potential.

The best cannabis seeds for outdoor growing have genetics that makes them more adaptable to outdoor weather changes. Pair a high-yielding cannabis seed like the White Choco, and you’ll have plenty to last until the next harvest!

Bud traits

Fancy yourself a cannabis connoisseur? Experiencing the different aromas and flavour profiles will give you a new kind of appreciation for cannabis. Cannabis smell and taste come from the terpenes present in each strain. There are more than 200 different terpenes found in cannabis, and each combination creates a different ‘entourage effect.’

Trying different strains will help develop your palette to recognise common flavours and scents in your plant. If you’re craving something fruity, switch to Lemon Haze. Satisfy your sweet tooth with our chocolate strains. Bask in the ‘scent of Amsterdam’ with the White Choco cannabis seed.

 

Desired Effects

Are you looking for a cannabis strain that gives you a head high or body high? One that makes you feel energetic or couch-locked? Do you want to be creative or something that puts you to sleep? Choose a new cannabis seed based on the type of effects you want to experience when you consume it.

Start by deciding between sativa and indica. If you prefer a combination of effects, you can grow hybrid cannabis seeds.

We provide details about the effects of each of our cannabis seeds. Cannabis affects everyone differently, and the actual results may vary for you.

Type of Seed

Cannabis seeds behave differently depending on the type. You can’t tell by their appearance, but you’ll know what we mean when you begin growing them!

Use feminized cannabis seeds to guarantee a female plant that will grow buds. Use male plants that grow from regular cannabis seeds to cross-breed with strong genetics. Expedite the time from planting to harvest with fast-growing autoflower cannabis seeds.

Our experts love experimenting to breed new strains. Choose our Homegrown cannabis seeds to grow plants bred with popular strains from Amsterdam and an international strain.

 

Finding related cannabis seeds

Choosing a new variant of cannabis seed doesn’t have to be much different from your favourite strain. Cannabis strains bred with a common parent have similar traits. There’s a good chance you’ll enjoy others in the same strain family as your favourite cannabis seed.

An easy way to find related cannabis seeds is browsing the ‘You May Also Like’ section on our seed description pages. These recommendations feature strains with common genetics, similar tastes, or similar growing experiences.
