Regular Seeds
Regular seeds are the old-fashioned kind, you know, like they used to be. You plant them, and you could get anything. It could be a girl, it could be a boy. In other words, they are ordinary seeds that grow into both male and female plants. And here’s the catch: you have to figure out who’s who, because if you leave the boy, he’ll pollinate the girls, and instead of buds, you’ll get seeds. In short, it’s a pain in the ass, but if you want to do your own crosses, hybridize, and play with genetics, this is it. I tried it myself, but the first time I got confused about which ones to pull out and which ones to leave, and ended up just smoking stress.
Autoflower Seeds
Now Autoflower is a real find for lazy people or those who don’t want to bother too much. They bloom on their own, without being tied to the light cycle. That is, you don’t need to arrange 12/12 for them, you don’t need to control darkness and light. Just plant them and wait for them to bloom and grow. It’s super convenient, especially if you have a balcony or a summer cottage. But there is a caveat — they are often smaller in size and the yield is not as high as with regular photoperiod plants. But it’s fast, convenient, and there’s almost no chance of messing up. I had a bush in a shoe box, really, and it even produced something.
Feminized Seeds
And finally, feminized seeds are a blessing for those who want no surprises. They are all female. You plant them and are almost 100% sure that you will get exactly what you want. No need to look for male flowers, no need to worry that someone pollinated someone else. Just grow it, nurture it, and that’s it. Most beginners start with feminized seeds because it’s easier and more reliable. When I planted feminized seeds for the first time, I really felt like a pro, even though I just watered them and shone a lamp on them.
BWSO2
Listen, if you’re already familiar with the subject or just starting to dig into it, I’ll tell you this — the BWSO2 website is really cool. It’s a thing for people who are interested in cannabis, especially seeds in the United States. Everything is simple, clear, and without all the unnecessary frills. You know when you go to a website and it feels like you’ve stumbled into a botanical museum? Here, everything is to the point — want seeds? Here’s the info, here’s your choice, read, compare, think.
When I was just starting out, I had no idea where to look. Some obscure forums, links that lead nowhere, or you end up on a fake page where instead of seeds, they try to sell you some “tea from the Himalayas.” You get the idea. Then a friend sent me this BWSO2, saying, “Check it out, it’s a great resource, everything about cannabis seeds in the US, plus it’s aimed at real people, not some professors with microscopes.”
And another funny thing — it even mentions something called Weed Seeds Amazon. Yeah, it sounds strange, because Amazon and cannabis aren’t exactly best friends, but it’s cool that they mention it, as if comparing and explaining why it’s better to look for those who know their stuff, rather than where they can sell you beans under the guise of sativa.
In short, if you need to figure out what’s what, understand what kinds of seeds there are, how they grow, where it’s best to buy them — BWSO2 is like a good friend who has already been through it all, made mistakes, and is now sharing his experience so that you don’t repeat his mistakes. No pretentiousness, no “expert” lectures, just clear information and a little experience. I recommend it.

FAQ
In short, it’s not just another seed store, but a useful resource for enthusiasts. They don’t try to sell you anything, but explain what’s what — what kinds of seeds there are, where to get them, and why some are better than others. I’d say it’s like a guy who’s been in the game for years made a website so that newbies would make fewer mistakes.
No, they’re not a store. They’re more like a guide — they show you where to get the best stuff, what the different varieties are like, what to look for. It’s like if someone showed you a map and said, “This place is okay, but don’t go here, you know how that will end.” Thanks to them, I’ve avoided making a couple of bad purchases.
Absolutely. I didn’t know anything about it myself, and I understood everything. There’s no complicated language, everything is explained in a human way. Even if you’re hearing about cars and femkas for the first time, you won’t get lost.
They write honestly, you can tell they know what they’re talking about. No pretentiousness or advertising, just experience and clear explanations. It feels like the author has tried everything himself and is now sharing his insights on how to do things better.
To avoid confusion and searching through hundreds of websites. Everything is gathered in one place, clear and convenient. If this had been available when I was starting out, it would have saved me a lot of time and stress.
