Regular

Regular seeds produce plants with approximately 50% male and 50% female expression, making them the foundational seed type in cannabis breeding programs. Unlike feminized seeds, regulars require growers and breeders to identify and remove male plants before flowering to prevent pollination of females. Lineage records and breeding archives heavily favor regular seeds for strain development, genetic preservation, and establishing stable parentage. Breeders working with regulars maintain direct access to male genetics, essential for creating new crosses and documenting hereditary traits. Regular seeds remain central to seed banking, heritage strain preservation, and controlled breeding experiments across research and craft cultivation.

Regular seeds are indispensable in breeding—they provide the male parents needed for crosses, allow phenotype selection across both sexes, and enable breeders to stabilize traits and create new cultivars with documented genetic lineage.
