non feminized seeds

Non feminized cannabis seeds—also known as regular cannabis seeds—are the original, natural form of cannabis genetics. These seeds have not been chemically treated or genetically modified in any way. They are bred from both male and female parents and typically produce a 50/50 mix of male and female plants. Regular seeds are valued by traditional growers, breeders, and collectors who want stable, unaltered genetics and the freedom to create new strains from scratch.

What are regular cannabis seeds?

Regular cannabis seeds are the foundation of the cannabis gene pool. Each seed contains the natural potential to become either a male or a female plant, just as cannabis has evolved in nature for centuries. The males produce pollen, while females develop resinous buds rich in cannabinoids and terpenes. This natural balance allows breeders to preserve classic traits, maintain lineage integrity, and discover new phenotypes that feminized seeds cannot always reveal.

Why choose regular weed seeds?

Most home growers today prefer feminized seeds for convenience, but many experienced cultivators and breeders still rely on regular weed seeds for their genetic diversity and vigor. Because regular seeds come from true male-female pairings, they often produce plants with stronger root systems, thicker stems, and better stress resistance compared to feminized varieties.

Growers choose regular marijuana seeds for several key reasons:

  • Pure, stable genetics: No chemical reversal or forced feminization—just natural cannabis evolution.
  • Stronger vigor: Regular plants often show more resilience and can handle fluctuations in light, temperature, and nutrients.
  • Breeding potential: Essential for creating new strains or stabilizing unique phenotypes.
  • Preserving heritage lines: Regular seeds allow for the preservation of landrace and heirloom genetics across generations.

How to grow regular marijuana seeds

Growing non feminized seeds follows the same fundamentals as feminized varieties, but requires extra attention to plant sex identification. Begin germination using your preferred method (paper towel, starter cube, or direct soil planting). Maintain seedlings under an 18 hours on / 6 hours off light cycle for the vegetative stage, keeping temperatures between 22–26°C and humidity around 60% for optimal growth. Transplant into larger pots once roots develop strongly.

After 4–6 weeks of vegetative growth—or when plants reach your desired size—switch to a 12 hours on / 12 hours off light cycle to trigger flowering. Within the first two weeks of flower, begin identifying plant sex: females show white pistils (hair-like pre-flowers) at the nodes, while males develop small, round pollen sacs. If your goal is sinsemilla (seedless flower), remove males before pollen sacs open to prevent fertilization. If you plan to breed, isolate selected males and females to control pollination.

Keep airflow steady and humidity lower (40–50%) during flowering to avoid mold and maximize trichome production. Use mild defoliation to open the canopy and focus light on top colas. Harvest your unpollinated females around 8–10 weeks after the 12/12 switch for dense, potent buds—or, if breeding, wait an additional 4–5 weeks for seeds to fully mature before collecting them.

Regular cannabis seeds for breeding and exploration

Breeders rely on regular cannabis seeds because they represent the truest form of the plant’s genetic expression. Feminized and autoflower varieties are excellent for production, but regular seeds are the foundation for innovation. They let you identify the best males and females, collect pollen, and create new cultivars with unique terpene profiles, growth habits, and cannabinoid balances. Regular seeds are also useful for pheno hunts—where growers explore different expressions of a strain to find elite keeper plants.

Some enthusiasts even plant regular seeds outdoors to encourage natural propagation. Males pollinate females, producing seeds that drop and sprout naturally the following season—similar to how wild cannabis once spread worldwide. Over time, these cycles can lead to distinct regional landraces with localized traits.

Buying non feminized seeds online

When shopping for non feminized cannabis seeds, look for reputable breeders and clear strain lineage information. Seedbank.com carries carefully selected cannabis seeds bred from proven male and female parents. Each batch is tested for high germination rates, healthy growth, and stable expression. Whether you’re preserving classics, experimenting with breeding, or searching for hidden gems, regular seeds give you the authenticity and control that modern genetics can’t replace.

Non feminized vs feminized seeds

The main difference between non feminized and feminized cannabis seeds lies in predictability. Feminized seeds are engineered to produce only female plants, ideal for growers who want quick, bud-heavy harvests. Non feminized seeds, on the other hand, retain both sexes—providing natural selection, stronger genetics, and opportunities for creative breeding. For many growers, regular seeds are still the gold standard for maintaining quality genetics and exploring the plant’s full potential.

Non Feminized (Regular) Seeds: FAQ

Regular (non feminized) seeds produce roughly a 50/50 mix of male and female plants, as nature intended. Feminized seeds are bred to produce only female plants (99.9% likelihood), which are the bud-producing plants. Regular seeds are essential for breeding; feminized seeds are ideal for maximizing flower harvests. See our [link href="/collections/feminized-seeds/"]Feminized Seeds[/link] or browse [link href="/collections/cannabis-seeds-for-sale/"]All Cannabis Seeds[/link].
Growers choose regular seeds for their genetic stability, diversity, and breeding potential. Regular seeds are required to produce new strains, stabilize existing genetics, and find the strongest “mother” plants (pheno hunting) because they provide both natural male and female parents. Compare with [link href="/collections/feminized-seeds/"]Feminized Seeds[/link].
No, potency is based on genetics, not the sex of the seed. Both regular and feminized seeds can produce equally potent plants. However, regular seeds offer a wider genetic range (phenotypes), allowing breeders to select and preserve elite keeper plants with exceptional quality.
The basic cultivation steps are the same. The primary difference is the sexing requirement. With regular seeds, you must diligently identify and remove male plants (which develop pollen sacs) early in the flowering stage to prevent them from pollinating the females and causing them to produce seeds in the buds.
Males and females look the same during the vegetative phase. The differences appear during pre-flowering (after switching to a 12/12 light cycle). Males develop small, smooth balls (pollen sacs) at the nodes, while females develop small white hairs (pistils). Remove males immediately if your goal is seedless flower.
Since you will likely discard about half your plants (the males), germinate roughly double the number of female plants you wish to harvest. For example, if you want three flowering females, start with six to eight regular seeds.
If males are not removed before they release pollen, they will pollinate the female plants. The females will then focus their energy on producing seeds instead of flowers, resulting in seeded, lower-potency, and lower-quality buds.
It is not recommended and is much more difficult. True breeding requires a natural male plant to provide the necessary chromosomes for stable offspring. While females can be chemically reversed to produce feminized pollen, regular seeds from natural crosses remain the industry standard for stable, reliable breeding projects.
Yes, often regular seeds are less expensive per seed. This is because the specialized process and resources required to ensure ~99.9% female offspring (feminized seeds) make them more costly to produce.
Yes, and they are often preferred. Plants from regular seeds tend to exhibit high vigor and stability, making them excellent candidates for selecting a “mother plant” that you can take cuttings (clones) from indefinitely to maintain an exact genetic line.
