Seed Propagation: What Is It?

Seed propagation is the process of multiplying your genetic yield. This can be done via multiplying, breeding, and reproducing your current batch of strains.  One of the largest industry shifts that have happened over the past 5 years has been the advent of new home growers and the opportunities that come with learning the process. This involves seed propagation and can generate the right strains for you!

The process is utilized by almost every grower. For large-scale industrial growing, the process helps to alleviate the germination time and the cost of wasted seeds. Many large-scale growers, will simply take a cut from their mother plant, process it, and clone the stem so that it will create an entirely new plant with an abundant yield.

This process has developed in order to effectively eliminate the germination process.

The germination process takes up to 2 weeks for the first step and can cause a kink in the overall flow of the growing process. Instead, many are utilizing this to produce larger amounts in a faster time.

For many small-scale home growers, the process of seed propagation is a healthy way to continue their growing endeavors without taking an unnecessary break between harvests. Another prominent factor that has come in recent years is the ability to reproduce high-rarity strains or high-cost strains. This allows those who grow from home the ability to harvest the exact strains that they want without having to break their bank account over and over again.

With that in mind, many growers will continue to develop their own methods for propagation. For those in the middle-sized cultivation field, they can sell-out their access clones to individuals looking to get their hands on hot-new strains that aren’t readily available in their location. This can also help to bolster sales due to market saturation.

With most of the strains that are available in a local dispensary ill-adequate for a lot of buyers, the ability to grow from home can give a customer or patient exactly what they are looking for.
