πΏβ¨ Choosing the Right Cannabis Plants to Grow
By StarShip Seeds β Premium Genetics. Stellar Results.
Selecting the right cannabis cultivar is one of the most important decisions for a successful growβwhether you’re nurturing a single plant indoors or running a full-scale operation under the stars. At StarShip Seeds, we offer only the best genetics, so letβs help you find the right fit for your setup, space, and goals.
π± Why Grow From Seed?
Starting from seeds (instead of clones) gives you:
π¦ Easier storage & transport
𧬠Greater genetic variety
π± Stronger taproots for healthier growth
Unlike clones, plants from seed are not genetically identicalβthis diversity makes seeds ideal for hobby growers, small farms, or those who love the thrill of unique phenotypes.
π Seeds vs. Clones at a Glance
Feature | Seeds π± | Clones βοΈ |
---|---|---|
Genetic Diversity | High β Each plant is unique 𧬠| Low β Exact replica of mother π³ |
Root Strength | Strong taproot for resilience πͺ | Fibrous roots, less depth π§΅ |
Uniformity | Less canopy uniformity π¨ | Highly consistent canopy π |
Availability | Widely accessible π | Limited, needs a mother plant π§ |
π Understanding “Cultivar” vs. “Strain”
While “strain” is the industry norm, the proper term is cultivarβshort for βcultivated variety.β Each cultivar has its own unique growth traits, effects, aromas, and cannabinoid profiles. Whether you want big yields, soothing effects, or a terpene-rich high, the right StarShip cultivar makes all the difference.
βοΈ Choosing for Your Grow Space
π Outdoor Grows
Choose tall, sun-loving cultivars with vigorous branching like:
-
Big Sur Holy Weed
-
Chocolate Diesel
-
Willie Nelson
-
Ninja Star
These thrive in full sunlight and reward you with huge colas. Early pruning = bushier plants + dense buds. πΏβοΈ
π‘ Indoor Grows
Compact, high-impact plants are best indoors:
-
Atomic Northern Lights
-
Wakeford
-
Pie Crust
-
Ultimate Pink Kush
-
Cereal Killer
If space is tight, go for indica-dominant genetics or run SCROG/SOG setups with fast finishers. π π±
β±οΈ Maturation Speed Matters
Different cultivars flower at different speeds:
Flower Time | Ideal For |
---|---|
Fast (50β60 days) β³ | Short grow seasons, multiple harvests |
Moderate (9β10 weeks) πΈ | Balanced yields + quality |
Long (11β12 weeks) π | Big buds, intense effects |
π‘οΈ Hot climates: May cause terpenes to burn off
βοΈ Cooler climates: Can slow ripening but enhance flavor
πΎ Yield vs. Speed: What Do You Value?
High-yielding plants usually take longer to flower, but the payoff is worth it. Shorter-flowering plants can still yield big if packed efficiently. Choose cultivars based on harvest goals and turnaround timelines.
