Appearance- The color of all cannabis seeds are not supposed to be the same. But the healthy ones are usually light or dark brown colored. Good quality seeds have a protective, waxy covering.
The plump, teardrop-shaped, firm seedsare considered good quality seeds. If you are comparing many seeds then the larger ones are the better ones. The species producing bigger seeds are a rich source of energy and tend to grow into a fruitful plant. Weight usually depends on the seed sizes. The heavier seeds are generally better than the lighter seeds.
Float Test- Take some water in a glass or a vessel. Leave all the seeds that you want to test, in the water. Quality seeds are believed to sink in the water after a few hours. So if any seed still floats in the water you should not buy them.
However, this test is not recommended if you don't want to germinate them immediately. If you want to store the seeds then do not perform the float test.
Age at Harvest-Quality seeds are harvested when the plants completely mature. If they are harvested before maturity then the seeds may suffer from a deficiency. Color can be a very good indicator of harvesting age. So, it is always suggested to know the age at which the plants are harvested.
Storage- Buyers are not supposed to have any access to the storage. But any information about the storage conditions then it can have a vital role in determining the seed quality. Best quality seeds are stored in dark, cold, and dry storages to prevent fungal contamination.
Cost- Quality seeds won't be cheap. However, if you aren't careful enough then sellers can sell inferior qualities for high prices. If the seller is claiming the seeds to be of high quality but cheap you are suggested to avoid buying them.
So these are some of the things that you must check before buying weed seeds Canada. Always do some research, gain some knowledge from the experienced growers. And, always try to buy seeds from reliable markets.
