Yonkers Cannabis Seeds

As the third most populous city in the state, Yonkers is known for its history of innovation and creativity. In fact, the inventor of the first elevated train line in Manhattan was from Yonkers. Today, the city is known for attractions such as Tibbetts Brook Park, Untermyer Park, and the Hudson River Museum. 

Additionally, it is also home to a number of cannabis connoisseurs and enthusiasts. Although growing is not permitted, recreational marijuana use is allowed. As such, the community has developed its own distinct mixture of cannabis knowledge, tastes, and preferences entirely unique to the city of Yonkers.

Round, deeply-hued, and slightly shiny, marijuana seeds contain all the genetic information required to grow mature plants. However, your efforts will be for naught if you don’t begin with quality weed seeds. Typically, healthy seeds will have a rich, brown color ranging from light to dark. If the seeds appear green, it’s possible they were harvested too early, and therefore have a reduced chance of germinating.

While growing cannabis is not permitted in New York State, ungerminated seeds can still be purchased from quality, online seed banks. However, it is important to do your research first; a good seed bank will have the following qualities: 

• An extensive selection of high-quality seeds
• Germination guarantee 
• Excellent customer service
• Discreet shipping
• Filtering options

Currently, adults age 21 and above in Yonkers may possess and use recreational cannabis. Possession is limited to 3 ounces of marijuana or less, or 24 grams of concentrate cannabis. More information can be found here. 

While there are thousands of cannabis strains, there are just four main types of seeds. Below is a brief overview of these four categories including their unique pros and cons, as well as how to identify quality seeds of any variety. 

While regular marijuana seeds have a 50/50 chance of producing male and female plants, feminized strains are bred to produce only female plants. Normally, when plants are pollinated by males, they will produce both seeds and resin-covered flowers. However, they will also prioritize seed production, which results in buds with reduced potency. Feminized seeds bypass this issue entirely by eliminating seed production. Additionally, there is a wide selection of feminized weed seeds available to meet a wide variety of preferences.

Regular seeds are preferred by growers looking to experiment in breeding new strains, regular cannabis seeds tend to have a more affordable price, but also tend to produce less potent yields. Unlike auto-flowering varieties, which tend to be fast-flowering seed strains, regular seeds grow at the normal rate.

Autoflower strains have a special genetic quality. Thanks to their ruderalis lineage, they are especially tough, resilient, and have a shorter flowering period. In addition, they’re famously low-maintenance. In fact, they don’t require any adjustment of their light cycles at all. They also don’t necessarily require pleasant weather, as they’re famous for thriving in less-than-ideal outdoor conditions. Finally, they are typically disease and pest-resistant seed strains. All of the aforementioned qualities make auto-flowering seeds suitable for both outdoor growers and beginners.

CBD seeds differ from traditional cannabis in that they do not produce the psychoactive effects associated with THC. CBD, which is the second most common cannabinoid found in cannabis, is said to provide mental focus and clear-headedness without the mind-altering effects. Strains high in CBD have a variety of applications: Many find it helps alleviate stress and boost mood, while in general, high-CBD and low-THC plants are fantastic strains for those seeking soothing properties.

High-quality plants come from high-quality seeds. While growing is not yet legal in New York, the following information may prove useful should gardening be permitted in the future. 

Physical and visual: Simply observing a seed is one of the best methods to determine its quality. A healthy seed will typically be a teardrop-like shape—round and fat at the bottom and tapered on the opposite end. Ideally, your seeds will also have a slight shine and a rich, brown color ranging from light to dark. If your seeds are green, it may mean they were harvested too early, and, therefore, have a reduced chance of germinating.

Float Test: This test should only be performed if you’re already ready to germinate your seeds. Add your seeds to a glass of mild, hot distilled water and leave them for approximately one hour. Healthy seeds will sink; poor-quality seeds will float.

Touch test: The outer shell of healthy weed seeds is usually hard and firm. It is unhealthy if it is soft or breaks easily. We recommend keeping an eye out for any cracks: good-quality seeds will not have holes or gaps. 

Reputable online seed banks, like Growers Choice Seeds, have thousands of fresh high-quality marijuana seeds available. The following varieties happen to be particularly popular in Yonkers:  

Gorilla Glue Auto-flowering Feminized Seeds

These cannabis seeds feature the Diesel-backed genetics of popular Gorilla Glue #4 combined with a trusted, tested ruderalis strain. The result? An auto-flowering cannabis plant that dazzles both new and established gardeners with its fast-flowering abilities and highly sought-after characteristics.

Specifically, this strain features an earthy, spicy taste and soothing effects. Its calming properties will heavily relax, but not enough to put consumers to sleep. Expect to feel a sense of euphoria combined with uplifting qualities. As this strain produces potent effects, it is recommended to begin with smaller doses. 

Blue Dream Feminized Seeds 

This sativa-dominant hybrid also contains sour notes with an herbal, spicy undertone. In short, it tastes of sugar-dusted blueberries. Known to mentally uplift and enhance creativity, Blue Dream contains 22% THC and is best suited to an intermediate cannabis grower.

Super Silver Haze Feminized Seeds

Uplifting and energizing, Super Silver Haze is an ideal daytime strain. It also boasts a high THC content, potent body buzz, and intriguing lineage: First released in 1997, it quickly gained notoriety thanks to its deeply cerebral effects and appealing flavor. Today, it is one of the most beloved and sought-after strains available. Known for producing large, dense buds, Super Silver Haze has a distinctly intense taste that is both spicy and sweet.

If you’re a fan of the above, you may also enjoy the following strains:

Blueberry Auto-flowering Feminized Seeds 

These feminized cannabis seeds produce plants that taste similar to blueberry muffins. If you’re looking for both soothing properties and are a fan of sweetly aromatic strains, this strain may be ideal for you. A treat for the senses, the Blueberry strain is also easy to grow, making it suitable for beginner gardeners. Blueberry cannabis seeds grow into plants that have an 80% indica profile. As such, it’s a calming strain that’s ideal for evening use.  (And for those with a sweet tooth.)
