Can you make cannabis seeds at home?

Yes. In as little as a 2x2' tent.

What does it look like to make your own seeds?

I’m no expert on seed making. Far from it. I’ve done it once.

But, like many grow-related tasks, the idea of making your own seeds at home is attractive for a few reasons:

  • Genetic preservation (keep something you like around for the future)
  • New varieties (offspring offer the potential of something new)
  • Curiosity (Simply to see if you can do it)

I fell into all three buckets.

So, on September 6th, I started the process of making my own seeds.

My goal with this project was simply to see if I could make my own seeds in a 2x2x4’ tent in my home office.

My goals for the seeds were to keep my Sour Papaya around in seed form, and to cross her with a few others in the grow to create new varieties to eventually grow out.

This is not a “how to” make seeds, nor am I in any fashion suggesting consistently making quality, homogenous, stable seeds is easy.
