How to Tell if a Cannabis Seed is Viable

Hey everyone, in this video we show you two ways to see if your cannabis seeds are viable, one being the common finger rule method, and one being the rule of thumb that if the seed is white that it is immature and therefore unviable. This quick and easy tip is a must know for anyone who is thinking of breeding their own cannabis, those who simply want more information about cannabis, and anyone…

What Are the Advantages & Disadvantages of Storing Seeds in a Seed Bank?

After the turn of the century, seed banks emerged as a haven for those looking for vital seeds to grow their plants. Cannabis or marijuana seed banks offer a variety of species and specific types of weed with the desired properties.

The goal of introducing seed banks is straightforward; it is similar to a library of various seed types that you may not find elsewhere. When people were having difficulty finding various seeds from local nurseries and plant growers, seed banks were formed. Different types of seed banks and marijuana seed banks are quickly catching up to beat them all! Reputable seed banks near you can provide you with modified and customized cannabis and marijuana plant seeds.

Many online seedbanks ship across the country, and some only ship to specific cities or counties. Whichever seed bank you choose can be your one-stop shop for all kinds of cannabis plant-growing adventures! Are these seed banks, however, a good fit for your needs? There are no black-and-white answers to this question, so let's try to weigh the benefits and drawbacks of a seed bank before deciding whether it's a good place for your garden or not!

The Benefits of Seed Banks

A diverse range of popular strains

The cannabis plant comes in a variety of forms. If you want to grow marijuana, you should know that Indica and Sativa are more popular than Ruderalis and White Widow. Quebec Gold and NYC Diesel are two other well-known strains. Whatever strain you prefer is available at a seed bank near you. You no longer have to plant a seed and hope for the best—it can now be a guaranteed outcome forever!

Seeds can be customized based on their legal status.

Some states in the United States continue to have strict marijuana and cannabis laws. Because of the misuse of marijuana, many authorities are wary, and as a result, some jurisdictions prohibit the consumption of THC, while others prohibit the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Seed banks can modify seeds based on the legal status of marijuana in various jurisdictions. No worries if your state prohibits GMOs! You can buy organic and natural seeds and watch them grow into thriving plants!

It is now simple to improve your properties.

Do you want to cultivate marijuana in order to use it as an anti-inflammatory? Do you need a natural analgesic? Whatever quality you seek, a customized seed type is now available at a seed bank near you! Cannabis seeds with anti-inflammation, anti-pain and energy-boosting properties are available. If you look deeper, you will discover many variations that you were unaware of!

Male and female plant control

Have you ever received a flowering plant that turned out to be male? Or have you ever wanted a male and female plant but ended up with both? This is a common error when purchasing seeds from local gardeners. Seed banks have thoroughly examined the plants and classified the various marijuana strains into additional classes based on the gender of the plant!

Reducing unfavorable side effects

Just as you can improve some marijuana properties, you can also reduce some side effects by selecting specifically tailored seeds from a marijuana seed bank near you! Many of us want to avoid headaches, while others may experience nausea after using marijuana. The solution is to find a seed that will grow into your marijuana supply without causing headaches or nausea! You can choose from a variety of varieties with controlled side effects available at seed banks.

Famous strains can be produced in large quantities.

Seed banks can control supply by breeding plants and producing more seeds for those in high demand. Do you want to buy Cannabis Indica? Not a problem! There is no longer any need to search the internet to find 'out of stock' written on various websites. Marijuana seed banks may have strains that are hard to find elsewhere!

Beginner and regular user-level strains are altered.

The best part about getting seeds from a seed bank is that the available seeds can be tailored based on the 'density' of cannabinoids. You've got yourself a mild plant! The intensity of each plant seed at the seed bank varies. Users can select based on their usage and potency requirements. You don't have to worry about dividing dosage as the plant will provide just as much as you need.

Seed Banks' Disadvantages

Most states do not allow genetically modified seeds.

Many states in the United States prohibit genetically modified foods and plants. Because of this legal status, many variations are restricted, and seed banks' variety is reduced to only a few basic seeds for users to purchase! Consider a whole shelf of seeds that promise different effects on the plants that grow from them, but you can only buy the most basic ones because others are illegal in your area!

Controlled psychoactive effect

Marijuana is used medicinally to treat depression because its psychoactive effect makes it a natural alternative for people suffering from anxiety and depression. Because most seed banks use genetically modified seeds, the psychoactive effect is reduced in order to meet the majority of demand. Finding the right seeds at a seed bank can be difficult if you are among the minority of users who want to benefit from the psychoactive effect!

Users can only find popular seed strains.

Again, Indica and Sativa are more common, but if you want to grow a Ruderalis plant, you may need to visit several banks. The basic supply and demand rule eliminates you from consideration for all of these seed banks! The common seed strains are available at all seed banks, but the seeds' unique or rare breeds can be difficult to locate. While there are numerous social media forums where you can connect with marijuana growers and find the strain you need, seed banks remain silent about the scarcity of some strains.

Are you looking for higher THC content?

THC levels in medicinal marijuana for acute pain and mental patients are higher than in regular marijuana products. Seed banks do not sell seeds that produce plants with high THC levels. If you require a higher THC concentration, you must purchase medicinal cannabis from a licensed vendor, as seed banks do not encourage high THC consumption. Make sure to consult your doctor before purchasing, but trust me when I say that seed bank browsing will be futile for you!

Summary

There are now hundreds of top seed banks for all types of plants. Cannabis and marijuana seed banks are a popular new market entry for all users. You can now grow cannabis right outside your window or in your garden!

There are numerous benefits and drawbacks to seed banks that have been discussed above, so you can decide whether you want to get your seed supply from a bank or not. While we believe seed banks are a safe and tested environment for plant ventures, the following disadvantages will help you choose the best marijuana seed bank near you!

“Most people have heard of open source software, maybe also of open source beer (Free beer for all!) or open source pharmaceutical research. The principle is the same: Someone developed the seeds — for cowpeas, corn, rye and more — and now offers the resource for everybody to share.

Just like software development has been co-opted by a few global companies like Microsoft and Apple, the international seed development and trade, too, is controlled by a few big giants like Bayer (Monsanto), Corteva (DuPont) and ChemChina (Syngenta). A 2012 Oxfam study found that four companies dominate more than 60 percent of the global trade with grains.

When we buy cereal or bread, few pay attention to the fact that most grains are protected or even patented. Most farmers don’t own the seeds they sow on their fields. “They are renting them,” Kloppenburg, professor emeritus at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and co-founder of OSSI says with disgust. The problem with that? “A few global companies have the monopolies on global seed trade, and they breed cash crops like corn and soy, purely for money. They don’t care about biodiversity, world hunger or about the small farmer.” What sounds like a business problem impacts everybody, Kloppenburg insists. “These few gene giants on top of the food chain decide what ends up on our plates.”

In 2012, Kloppenburg and half a dozen like-minded agriculture experts founded OSSI as an alternative to the monopolies. OSSI’s aim is the “free flow and exchange of genetic resources, of plant breeding and variety development,” Kloppenburg says. With global warming, disease and changing climatic patterns, “we need novel plant varieties that are capable of responding to the changes. Farm to table is popular, but we really need to talk about seed to table.”

The movement faces an uphill battle, particularly in the US where most farmers plant seeds that are patented by the big corporations. Still, about 50 seed breeders have already signed on with OSSI in the US to offer nearly 500 seed varieties. And other open source seed organizations are making their own way in Europe, Argentina, India and more...

Of course, salad is no software, and the work of plant breeders has to be protected. Otherwise they might fare like plant breeder Jim Baggett in Oregon, who in 1966 started breeding broccoli with an extra-long stem so it could be harvested more easily. He shared his novel broccoli with researchers and other breeders — until Monsanto-offspring Seminis patented a broccoli with exactly that trait in 2011. Baggett could trace more than a third of the plant material to his work...

Seed breeders who commit to the OSSI pledge allow buyers to use what they have developed however they like. The pledge reads: “In return, you pledge not to restrict others’ use of these seeds or their derivatives by patents or other means, and to include this Pledge with any transfer of these seeds or their derivatives.

Examples of OSSI varieties include dwarf tomatoes, bred for people with little space by small farmers in North Carolina and Australia who worked together and exchanged information across continents. A new rye, called Baldachin, has been developed with the help of crowdfunding in Germany specifically for the sandy soil in East Germany and is for the first time available in bakeries this fall. Also potatoes, corn, wheat and nearly everything else you need to cook dinner...

Just like software, “we want to go viral,” Kotschi says. In North America, he notes, cannabis breeders are interested in the OSSI strategy. “Cannabis is going to be a multibillion dollar market,” he says. “The small breeders fear for their seeds. They are interested in using the open source license to protect themselves while making the seeds available to others.”” -via Reasons to Be Cheerful, 10/14/22
