Regular Cannabis Seeds Pros & Cons
There is a misconception in the name REGULAR which is conceived to be associated with boring. Let's start by saying regular seeds produce cannabis plants that are far from boring and in no way worse than what a feminized seed might produce.
Regular cannabis seeds can be a desired choice by some that believe it's god's natural way to grow. God created seeds to be male and female and man's intervention created feminized seeds so these are by some seen to be unnatural. There are some breeders that would actually get offended by those who engage in growing anything other than regular seeds, but to be honest this is a small minority of growers that have this belief.
What are regular marijuana seeds?
Regular cannabis seeds produce plants that are both male and female. Male plants simply grow and produce pollen, whereas females grow and produce buds that are dried and smoked. Growing with Regular seeds can be a good idea if you are working on a budget, but can be a hassle as males will need to be identified and removed from the grow room.
The problem with growing regular marijuana seeds is that once a male produces pollen and pollinate the female, its buds will stop growing and it will begin the process of producing seeds. Anyone who smokes marijuana will tell you seeds ruin the crop and are certainly undesirable.

Feminized cannabis seeds are the preferred choice for growers and nowadays over 95% of all the cannabis seeds for sale will be feminized. There are some growers that prefer to grow with regular cannabis seeds, but the demand is much lower.
One strange fact now is that regular seeds are becoming more expensive to buy as they are in less demand, so most breeders don’t even hold them in stock.
