CBD seeds come from hemp plants that have been bred to have a high cannabidiol (CBD) content and a very low THC content. They are ideal for legally growing your own CBD-rich hemp.
Yes, the purchase and possession of CBD hemp seeds is generally permitted in Switzerland. The crucial factor is that the legally permitted THC limit of 1% is not exceeded during cultivation.
Feminized or autoflowering (self-flowering) strains are particularly popular with beginners. They require less growing experience and often deliver more stable results – whether indoors or outdoors.
Feminized seeds have been bred to produce almost exclusively female plants – and only these bear flowers with a significant CBD content. This saves effort and increases yield.
Autoflowering seeds begin flowering regardless of the light cycle – ideal for short summers or indoor growing without special light control. Regular seeds, on the other hand, react to the duration of light and require a bit more experience.
Technically, yes – germinating CBD seeds is possible and often straightforward. Legally, it's important to note: once you germinate the seeds, they are no longer considered legal raw material, but rather part of a controlled plant. Therefore, be sure to check the legal regulations in your country.
Store in a dry, dark, and cool place – ideally in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This way, the seeds will remain viable for months or even years.
In Switzerland, cultivation for private purposes is generally permitted – as long as the plants remain below 1% THC. Commercial cultivation is subject to registration requirements and stricter regulations.
