From the moment I started growing, I knew this plant belonged in every garden. Cannabis is such a personal experience, and growing it yourself makes that connection even deeper. It teaches you to slow down, reconnect with nature, and create something truly your own.
With more than 20 states now allowing adults over 21 to grow for personal use, Seednest, is here to meet this moment and make sure more people, especially women and first-time growers, feel welcomed, supported, and empowered to start growing.
We offer high-quality feminized and regular seeds along with down-to-earth resources to help you get started and grow with confidence.
Just remember, cultivation laws are different in every state. Always check your local regulations before germinating seeds.
If you’re ready to dig in or you’re just here to learn more, let’s grow!

Feminized seeds grow into female plants, the ones that produce flower, so you won’t spend time removing males.
Feminized seeds are ideal for those growing for personal use, new to growing or want to make the most of their plant counts.
Most home growers choose feminized for simplicity. With that in mind, our catalog is focused on feminized seeds however, we are now carrying a limited release of rare, regular autoflower seeds.
Regular seeds produce males and females about 50/50. They’re best for breeders or DIY seed-makers who need males, pheno hunters looking for a keeper mom, and growers with extra space who want a wider gene pool.
If a male releases pollen, nearby females will seed, reducing yield and quality. Pollen travels on wind, clothing, and tools, especially outdoors.
Autoflowers are the easy, fast option, great for beginners and short growing seasons, quick runs, patios, balconies, and staggered harvests.
They flower by age (not light), so you can keep lights at a steady 18/6 indoors and finish in about 8–12 weeks. They stay compact and do best when started in their final pot with gentle training.
Shop our Autoflowers and get the full rundown in Autoflowers vs. Photoperiods.
Photoperiods give you more control over size and yield, you veg as long as you like, then switch to 12/12 to flower.
They’re ideal for growers who enjoy training (topping, SCROG), want bigger plants, or plan to pheno hunt and keep clones. They shine indoors with full light control, in light-dep greenhouses, and in longer outdoor seasons.
Explore our Photoperiods and learn more about Autoflowers vs. Photoperiods.
Start with the basics: how you want to feel, how much time you have, how much space you can give a plant, and your local climate.
Look past “indica vs. sativa.” Effects are shaped by the terpene profile and the cannabinoid balance. Aromas hint at those terpenes, citrus often feels bright, pine can feel clear and focused, fruit can feel balanced, and muskier notes can feel more relaxing. See our Terpene Guide to help you find your ideal strain
CBD can soften intensity; higher THC can feel stronger. Pick scents you enjoy and check each product page for dominant terpenes, THC:CBD notes, plant size, and finish time so the strain fits your setup and your goals.
Check out Blueberry 1:16 for stronger CBD effects and Joint Relief 1:1 and Blueberry Wine 1:1 for a well-balanced effect.
Yes! Our variety packs are a popular way to have diversity in your grow and collection.

Yes, we recommend using the paper towel method
Check out our step-by-step Beginner’s Germination Guide
Keep it warm between 72–78°F (22–26°C) with steady temps.
Keep the medium evenly moist, not soaked, and keep seeds in the dark or low light (no direct sun).
Use room-temperature water and gentle airflow around the setup.
Full steps in our Beginner’s Germination Guide
Most seeds crack in 1–3 days and push up a seedling in 2–7 days. Keep temps steady at 72–78°F (22–26°C) and the medium evenly moist, not soaked, with no direct sun.
If temperatures fall below or rise above this range, germination slows and can stall.
The seedling stage is the most delicaste but with a few changes, most bounce back.
Give it more light and a little airflow. If growing indoors, lower the light and run 16–18 hour light cycles.
If growing outdoors: make sure your plants are getting at least 6–8+ hrs of direct sun with some wind shelter.
Water “moist, not soaked,” letting the top ½–1″ of soil dry between waterings, then replant a bit deeper up to the first leaves and add a small stake.
If the stem is slimy or pinched at soil level, that’s damping-off, restart in clean media and keep air moving.
Check out the guide with common seedling issues and how to fix them.
Recheck conditions: keep the towel evenly moist (not soggy), warm at 72–78°F (22–26°C), and in the dark or low light.
Use room-temperature water and peek once or twice a day to re-moisten as needed.
Try not to peel the towel open or move the seed around; gentle, minimal handling is best.
Plant as soon as you see a taproot, about ¼–½ inch deep with the tip down.
If nothing changes by day 10, you can email us at info@theseednest.com with your order number and confirmation that you used the paper towel method.
Please note we can only support germination issues and questions for customers in states that allow home cultivation, based on the shipping address at checkout.

Autoflowers: about 8–12 weeks from sprout. Photoperiods: usually 12–20+ weeks total, depending on how long you veg and the strain’s flower time.
Key differences while growing
Light: Autos flower on any schedule (16–18 hrs works well). Photos need a 12/12 cycle to bloom.
Transplanting: Start autos in their final pot to avoid stall. Photos tolerate transplants.
Size & planning: Autos stay compact and finish fast. Photos can veg longer for bigger plants if you have space and time.
Outdoor timing: Autos are great for short seasons or a quick run. Photos need a full season and a finish before cold, wet weather.
Want the full breakdown? See our guide here
Autoflowers: 3–5 gal fabric pots. Give each plant ~12–18 in of elbow room and always start in the final pot to avoid transplanting.
Photoperiods (indoors): 5–7 gal fabric pots. Plan for ~18–36 in canopy diameter. Tent guide: Up-pot as they grow.
Photoperiods (outdoors): 10–25+ gal, more soil = bigger plants. Space plants 2–3+ ft apart.
Tips: Ensure drainage and airflow around pots, keep canopies even, and leave safe clearance from your light (typically 12–18 in, check your fixture).
If you’re in a quality, amended soil, usually not for the first 2–3 weeks. After that, light feeding helps, especially in containers.
Autos often need less than photos. Watch leaves and keep soil pH ~6.0–7.0.
Look for mostly cloudy trichomes with a few amber (use a 30–60× loupe), 70–90% pistils darkened and curled in, and the plant drinking less as calyxes swell.
1–2 weeks out: If you’ve used nutrients, switch to plain water to “flush” your plants and reducing leftover salts. If you’ve used an organic or living soil, you can skip flushing and just water as normal.
Final week: Stop all feeding. Remove only large, dying fan leaves to improve airflow. Check trichomes; the plant will usually drink less as it finishes.
24–48 hours before chop: Let the pot dry down (don’t let it severely wilt). A slightly dry medium helps the dry start cleanly.
Harvest day: Cut in the cool part of the day (or before lights-on), move straight to your dry space (60–65°F, 55–60% RH), and hang until the branches can snap cleanly, typically within about two weeks.
Dry in the dark at 60–65°F (15–18°C) and 55–60% RH with gentle airflow for 7–14 days (small stems should snap, not bend).
Then cure in glass jars about ¾ full at 58–62% RH, burping daily for a week, then every few days for 1–2 more weeks.
See steps in our harvesting, drying and curing guide
Yes, closets work if you control the environment.
Keep it dark to protect terpenes, aim for 60–65°F (15–18°C) and 55–60% RH so buds dry slowly and evenly, and keep gentle airflow around (not at) the buds.
A small fan pointed at a wall or the floor is perfect; crack the door or add a vent for fresh air.
Hang branches with space between them, use a hygrometer to monitor, and plan on 7–14 days (small stems should snap, not bend).
Then move to jars for the cure.
More tips in our Harvesting, Drying and Curing blog
After drying, move buds into airtight glass jars about three-quarters full.
Keep jars in a cool, dark place and aim for 58–62% RH inside the jar. Use a mini hygrometer or a humidity pack to monitor.
For the first week, burp daily: open jars 5–10 minutes to release moisture and refresh air. If RH is above 65%, leave lids off longer or spread buds out briefly. In week two, burp every couple of days; after that, once a week is enough.
A good cure takes 2–4 weeks, and flavor can keep improving up to 6–8 weeks.
Avoid heat and light, and do not use the fridge or freezer ascondensation and temperature swings can hurt quality.
Keep your seeds cool, dark, and dry in an airtight container. Avoid heat, humidity swings, and direct sunlight, consistency is key. A refrigerator or a stable, dry cupboard works great.
Before germinating, let refrigerated seeds warm to room temperature to prevent condensation. Stored properly, your seeds can stay viable for years to come.
Properly stored seeds can stay viable for many years. Building a small “seed library” is smart if you like to plan future grows or chase new terp profiles.
Keep notes on what you’ve tried, what you loved, and what you want to save for next season.
Our first season came entirely from Seed & Soil, grown outdoors in native, living soil with minimal inputs and a lot of intention. Under the sun, moon, and stars, their plants build resilience and rich terpene expression.
That start still guides us. We look for vigorous, well adapted, aromatic varieties that perform in real home grows, including short seasons.
Today our catalog has expanded into a curated mix of feminized autoflower and photoperiod seeds, selected for proven genetics, expressive terpenes, and structure. We also offer limited runs of rare regular autoflowers from Seed & Soil.
Every incoming lot is sample germ tested, stored in moisture-controlled packaging, and reviewed for phenotype consistency. If a batch does not meet our targets, it does not make the catalog.
You get a focused lineup with clear notes on size, stretch, timing, and aroma, so you can choose with confidence and grow something you are proud of.
