Seed Quantities and Pricing
Seeds are generally sold in packages of 5, 10, and 15. Prices range from about $3 to $30 USD per seed. Often less expensive seeds are perfectly adequate for many growers’ needs and desires. More expensive seeds are usually more stable and extra care has been taken to produce them. Furthermore, expensive seeds are often winners of recent cannabis cups or are more difficult to produce. My preference is to purchase seeds that are in the middle price range. Unless feminized, always purchase packages of 10-15 seeds, because the odds are that 50 percent of the seeds will be female and the other half male. Of the desired female seeds, some will show more desirable characteristics than others.
