Ministry of Cannabis Seeds: 17 Feminised Strains

The question we get asked most about this shelf: is Cannabis Light just weak weed? No, it's bred that way on purpose. Ministry of Cannabis built it around 14% CBD with THC sitting under 0.4%, and the plant itself is a 90% sativa that stretches like one. It's one of the tighter, more deliberate shelves in our cannabis seeds range.

The Low-THC Line Smells Like Sandalwood, Not Skunk

Four strains carry the low-THC idea: Cannabis Light, Auto Cannabis Light, CBD Star and Auto CBD Star. The aroma is the giveaway, woody and resinous with a real sandalwood edge, nowhere near the citrus and diesel that fills most catalogues. Cannabis Light flowers in 8 weeks and gives up to 200g per plant outdoors. Indoors the yield is modest, so grow it for the flowers rather than the weight. Auto Cannabis Light is the easier of the two, 12-15% CBD with under 1% THC, 20% ruderalis in the mix, up to 120g per plant outside. Vape it instead of burning it and that timber note actually lingers.

Autoflowering or Photoperiod: Pick Your Timeline

Autopilot XXL is Big Bud XXL rebuilt as an auto, indica-dominant and bushy, 6 weeks of flowering, up to 125g per plant indoors and around 15% THC. Auto Mandarin Haze does something a Haze shouldn't: 7 weeks, 19% THC, up to 200g per plant outdoors, sweet mandarin sitting over a hazy base. Auto White Widow, Auto Blueberry Domina and Auto Cheese NL fill out the rest of the auto side. The photoperiod half is where the big numbers live. Mandarin Haze is 85% sativa, 10 weeks, up to 23% THC, 600g/m² indoors and 750g per plant outdoors. God's Glue crosses two Gorilla Glue plants (one from seed bought in the USA, one clone that had been running in Amsterdam) and pushes up to 800g per plant outdoors. White Widow, Northern Lights MOC, Big Bud XXL, Mamacita's Cookies and Carnival round out the photoperiod side, and Carnival is bred entirely in Spain.

What To Sow First, And What Will Need Staking

Ultra White Amnesia is the one to watch. White Widow crossed with Amnesia Haze, 75% sativa, 9 weeks, 22% THC, 480g/m² indoors and 500g per plant outdoors. She's a heavy eater, so feed her properly and flush the last 2 weeks, and be ready to tie up branches late on, because the bud clusters get heavy enough to bend them. If that sounds like effort, Autopilot XXL asks for almost none. New grower? Keep an auto at 18 hours of light, use soil rather than hydro, and cure slowly if you care about the flavour. Want more frost than Ultra White Amnesia gives? Giant White Haze from Zamnesia Seeds holds a nine to ten week flower at 600g/m² indoors. Our own pick from the Ministry of Cannabis shelf: Auto Mandarin Haze for a quick summer run, then hand the tent over to Mandarin Haze for the long autumn cycle.
