Feminized, regular, and autoflower seeds: what is the difference?Updated 2 months ago

Choosing the right seed type starts with understanding how each one grows and what you want from the harvest.

Feminized seeds

• What they are: Bred to produce female plants only.
• Why choose: Maximizes bud production with no need to identify or remove males.
• Good for: Most home growers who want reliable results.

Regular seeds

• What they are: Natural male and female ratio.
• Why choose: Breeding projects and pheno hunting.
• Good for: Experienced growers who plan to select parents or make their own seeds.

Autoflower seeds

• What they are: Plants that flower by age rather than light schedule.
• Why choose: Fast seed-to-harvest times and simple light needs.
• Good for: Small spaces, short seasons, or quick turns.
