๐ฟโจ Choosing the Right Cannabis Plants to Grow
By StarShip Seeds โ Premium Genetics. Stellar Results.
Selecting the right cannabis cultivar is one of the most important decisions for a successful growโwhether 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 letโs help you find the right fit for your setup, space, and goals.
๐ฑ Why Grow From Seed?
Starting from seeds (instead of clones) gives you:
๐ฆ Easier storage & transport
๐งฌ Greater genetic variety
๐ฑ Stronger taproots for healthier growth
Unlike clones, plants from seed are not genetically identicalโthis diversity makes seeds ideal for hobby growers, small farms, or those who love the thrill of unique phenotypes.
๐ Seeds vs. Clones at a Glance
Feature | Seeds ๐ฑ | Clones โ๏ธ |
---|---|---|
Genetic Diversity | High โ Each plant is unique ๐งฌ | Low โ Exact replica of mother ๐ณ |
Root Strength | Strong taproot for resilience ๐ช | Fibrous roots, less depth ๐งต |
Uniformity | Less canopy uniformity ๐จ | Highly consistent canopy ๐ |
Availability | Widely accessible ๐ | Limited, needs a mother plant ๐ง |
๐ Understanding “Cultivar” vs. “Strain”
While “strain” is the industry norm, the proper term is cultivarโshort for โcultivated variety.โ 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.
โ๏ธ Choosing for Your Grow Space
๐ 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. ๐ฟโ๏ธ
๐ก 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. ๐ ๐ฑ
โฑ๏ธ Maturation Speed Matters
Different cultivars flower at different speeds:
Flower Time | Ideal For |
---|---|
Fast (50โ60 days) โณ | Short grow seasons, multiple harvests |
Moderate (9โ10 weeks) ๐ธ | Balanced yields + quality |
Long (11โ12 weeks) ๐ | Big buds, intense effects |
๐ก๏ธ Hot climates: May cause terpenes to burn off
โ๏ธ Cooler climates: Can slow ripening but enhance flavor
๐พ 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.
