🌱 Growing Your Own: An Introduction to Cannabis Seeds
There's something incredibly rewarding about growing your own cannabis — watching it sprout, thrive, and flower under your care. If you’re new to home cultivation, the first and most important step is choosing the right cannabis seeds.
At Cannabis Clinics Malta, we offer a selection of high-quality, carefully curated seeds that cater to beginners and experienced growers alike. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the different types of cannabis seeds and give you a solid foundation for starting your own personal grow journey.
🧬 Types of Cannabis Seeds
Understanding the different seed types is essential to match your growing goals, space, and experience level.
🌸 Feminized Seeds
-
What they are: Genetically bred to eliminate male chromosomes, ensuring nearly 100% female plants.
-
Why it matters: Female plants produce the buds you harvest and consume.
-
Best for: Those wanting to maximize yields and avoid the hassle of identifying and removing male plants.
Popular Feminized Seeds:
⚡ Auto-Flowering Seeds
-
What they are: These seeds automatically switch from vegetative to flowering stage based on age — not light cycles.
-
Why it matters: Great for beginners, fast results, and smaller stealthy setups.
-
Best for: Those looking for fast harvests or limited indoor/outdoor grow space.
Popular Auto-Flowering Seeds:
🌿 Regular Seeds (Not Currently Stocked)
-
What they are: Natural, unmodified seeds that produce both male and female plants.
-
Why it matters: Useful for breeding, but not recommended for casual or beginner growers.
🌞 Indoor vs Outdoor Growing
Indoor Growing (Perfect for Malta’s urban areas):
-
Total control over temperature, humidity, and light
-
Discreet and compact
-
Best paired with auto-flowering or compact feminized strains
Outdoor Growing (Ideal for spring/summer):
-
Uses natural sunlight
-
Larger yields but weather-dependent
-
Choose strains that are pest-resistant and heat-tolerant
🌱 Basic Cultivation Tips
-
Start with quality soil — like organic or super soil blends.
-
Keep your light schedule consistent (18/6 for veg, 12/12 for flower unless using autos).
-
Water carefully — don’t overdo it; let the soil dry slightly between waterings.
-
Use proper nutrients — start slow and increase as the plant grows.
-
Maintain airflow to prevent mold and pests.
🧪 Pro tip: Consider using pH-tested water and a gentle nutrient blend to avoid nutrient lockout or deficiencies.
❓ FAQs
Q: How long does it take to grow cannabis from seed?
A: Auto-flowering seeds can be ready in 8–10 weeks. Feminized photoperiod plants take 3–5 months, depending on the strain and setup.
Q: Can I legally grow cannabis in Malta?
A: Yes, adults in Malta are allowed to grow up to 4 cannabis plants per household for personal use — as long as they are kept out of public view.
Q: Do I need special lights or grow tents?
A: Not required, but highly recommended for indoor setups. LED grow lights and small tents help mimic ideal growing conditions year-round.
