You cannot grow fire from weak genetics. Before you buy a light, a tent or a single bottle of nutrients, think about the seeds. Here is how Potent Roots thinks about it.

Feminized, regular or autoflower?

• Feminized seeds are bred to produce female plants, the ones that grow buds. Great for most home growers.
• Regular seeds can be male or female. Breeders use them to make new crosses.
• Autoflowers flower on their own timeline regardless of light schedule. They are usually smaller and faster, which makes them beginner friendly.

Know your space

Some strains stretch tall during flower. If you are in a small tent, look for compact plants or plan to train them.

Check the flowering time

Flowering can take anywhere from about 7 to 12 weeks or more depending on the strain. Pick something that matches your patience and your schedule.

Pick for flavor and effect

Read the breeder notes on aroma, terpene profile and effects. Grow what you actually want to enjoy.

Buy from a trusted source

Reputable seed banks mean better germination rates and genetics that match the description. Potent Roots trusts Seeds Here Now, the gold standard of genetics. Use promo code POTENTROOTS10 at checkout.
