Strain Special 2024 - English

Strain Special English

Planting seeds equates to germinating freedom

An idea is sweeping Europe: legislation governing cannabis for all uses, from therapeutic to recreational, and high-CBD hemp. In more and more countries in Europe, cannabis legislation is undergoing reforms as a result of the advocacy actions by the people who have been growing marijuana at home during the decades of prohibition. Home cannabis growing helps make the use of cannabis normal and demonstrate, day by day, that prohibition has so far been a failure. This plant is grown in Europe by all kinds of people; prohibiting it means to prosecute all of them

An example of how the plant has spread across Europe is the number of countries where this Soft Secret Strain Special is distributed, including Spain, Italy, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Poland, France, the UK, Ireland, Finland, Serbia, Malta, Greece and Thailand.

Germinating cannabis seeds has many more advantages than using cuttings. First of all, it is possible to choose from a large number of strains and ensure that they are free of pests and diseases. Another important advantage is that cuttings only have secondary roots, while seeds develop a main root that forms much stronger and more solid plants.

Interestingly enough, the data sheet of each strain tells us about the genetic qualities of each plant, meaning that each strain has been intended to cater for different needs and tastes. First of all, most of the strains presented are feminised, which obviates the need to remove males. In addition, alongside the conventional photodependent plants, whose flowering is determined by the hours of light (known as ‘photoperiod’), nowadays consumers are offered a wide choice of autoflowering plants, which flower according to their age, without depending on the photoperiod. Plants of different heights and flowering times can be chosen, which will result in differing yields and harvest times. Another interesting difference is plant colouring, i.e., besides the traditional green, bluish, red, garnet or black tones are also available. Finally, there are cannabis plants for sunny climates, for humid climates or for indoor cultivation.

The greatest pleasure comes at the time of tasting the final product, with flavours and aromas that differentiate depending on a wide range of terpenes, i.e. sweet, sour, earthy, petrol-like, milky, smoky, spicy or incensey. There also are many nuances such as lemon,

moss, herbal, red berries, mango, sorbet, papaya, candy, menthol, floral, pepper or lavender. Likewise, the effects are very varied, i.e. happy, energetic, mental, meditative, relaxing, creative, sedative, balanced, psychedelic or lucid.

To germinate cannabis, growers only need mild heat, humidity and darkness. Ideally, the growing medium should be moist, but not soggy to ensure its oxygenation. Seeds can be pre-germinated in water, between wet tissue paper or planted directly into the substrate. It is also possible to use cubes of different materials, from rockwool through peat to coconut coir.

The humble marijuana seed is the basis of the cannabis industry. The seed distribution network involves grow shops, wholesalers, fairs, media, clubs, coffee shops and CBD shops. Even the cannabis sold by pharmaceutical companies has its origin in a seed. Of course, a key role is played by seed banks, including those featured in this catalogue, which help preserve the and expand the genetic diversity of marijuana.

Until such time as the sector has become fully regulated, the best way to obtain cannabis is to grow it at home. By germinating marijuana seeds, we work to meet our current needs and harvest enough quantities for our own consumption, while hoping for a better future. So browse through this and previous years’ catalogues, which you can find on the Soft Secrets website, choose your favourite strains and germinate seeds freely.
