Regular Cannabis Seeds
Our regular cannabis seed collection is built for growers who want to grow both male and female cannabis plants. Unlike feminized seeds, regular seeds produce both sexes naturally, making them the best choice for breeding projects or selecting parent plants. Having worked with cannabis genetics for more than 25 years, we know that regular seeds remain the foundation of cannabis breeding, which is why they'll always have a place in the MSNL catalogue.
Read MoreWhat Are Regular Cannabis Seeds?
Regular cannabis seeds produce a natural mix of male and female plants, making them the traditional choice for growers who want complete control over the genetics they work with. Unlike feminized seeds, regular seeds allow male plants to develop naturally, giving breeders and experienced growers access to pollen for creating new crosses, preserving genetics, and selecting future parent plants.
While regular seeds require growers to identify and remove unwanted male plants during cultivation, many experienced growers still prefer them for breeding projects and traditional photoperiod growing.
Why We Recommend Regular Cannabis Seeds
After helping growers for more than 25 years, we've found that regular cannabis seeds are best suited to growers who want complete control over their plants rather than the simplest growing experience. If your goal is breeding, preserving genetics, or selecting exceptional parent plants, regular seeds remain the gold standard.
For growers whose only goal is producing high-quality flowers, we generally recommend feminized cannabis seeds, as they remove the need to identify and separate male plants.
Male vs Female Cannabis Plants
One of the biggest differences when growing regular cannabis seeds is learning to identify male and female plants. Female plants produce the cannabinoid-rich flowers most growers are looking to harvest, while male plants produce pollen and are typically only kept for breeding.
Because regular seeds produce both sexes naturally, many growers germinate a few extra seeds to ensure they end up with the desired number of female plants.

Regular vs Feminized vs Autoflower Seeds
Choosing the right seed type depends entirely on your growing goals.
| Seed Type | Best For |
|---|---|
| Regular Seeds | Breeding, preserving genetics and traditional cultivation. |
| Feminized Seeds | Growers focused on producing flowers with minimal maintenance. |
| Autoflower Seeds | Fast harvests, smaller spaces and beginner-friendly growing. |
Regular cannabis seeds are photoperiod plants, meaning flowering begins when daylight hours reduce naturally outdoors or when indoor growers switch their lighting schedule to 12 hours on and 12 hours off. This gives growers complete control over vegetative growth before flowering begins.
Who Should Buy Regular Cannabis Seeds?
Regular cannabis seeds are ideal for:
- Breeders creating new cannabis crosses.
- Growers collecting pollen from selected male plants.
- Collectors looking to preserve classic cannabis genetics.
- Experienced growers who prefer traditional photoperiod cultivation.
If your main goal is harvesting flowers rather than breeding, you'll probably find feminized cannabis seeds a simpler and more practical choice.
