Seeds & Cultivation
What distinguishes feminised seeds from autoflowering varieties?
Feminised seeds yield virtually all female plants (99.9%) and depend on photoperiod changes — switching to a 12/12 light schedule — to begin flowering. Autoflowering varieties, by contrast, transition into bloom automatically once they reach a certain maturity (typically 8-10 weeks after sprouting), irrespective of how many hours of light they receive.
How should I keep my seeds viable over time?
For optimal longevity, place your seeds inside an airtight vessel — such as a sealed glass jar — and store them in the refrigerator. A cool, dark, moisture-free environment preserves viability for multiple years. Avoid temperature fluctuations, as these can trigger premature germination.
Do you back your seeds with a germination promise?
Absolutely. Should your seeds not sprout when you follow our recommended germination technique, we will send replacements at no charge. Simply reach out within 30 days of receiving your parcel, including your order reference and photographs that document your germination attempt.
Can I get growing tips from your team?
Of course! Our blog features detailed cultivation guides written for UK conditions — a short season, long midsummer days, and a wet finish. Beyond that, our support crew is always glad to assist with varietal selection, troubleshooting, and general growing questions tailored to your region.
Which strains perform best in the UK climate?
Outdoors, the ones that finish before the autumn turns. British summers are cool rather than hot, and the limiting factor is the wet September and October rather than heat — so autoflowers and photoperiods with an eight-to-nine week bloom are the reliable choices, and open bud structure matters more than a big yield figure. Indoors the climate stops mattering, because you set the temperature and daylength yourself.
