Frequently asked questions about CBD seeds
What are CBD seeds?
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.
Are CBD seeds legal in Switzerland?
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.
Which CBD seeds are best for beginners?
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.
What does "feminized CBD seeds" mean?
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.
What is the difference between regular and autoflowering CBD seeds?
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.
Can I simply germinate CBD seeds?
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.
What is the best way to store CBD seeds?
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.
Am I allowed to grow CBD plants at home?
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.
