Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Every seed we sell is feminized, meaning it's bred to produce female plants almost exclusively. Female plants are the ones that produce buds. Males don't. If left unchecked, they'll pollinate your females and ruin your harvest. Feminized seeds take that problem off the table entirely.
Not exclusively. Our CBD and CBG strains are bred to stay compliant under the 0.3% delta-9 THC threshold and are well suited for licensed hemp operations. But the majority of our customers are home growers, backyard gardeners, and small-plot cultivators. Whatever your scale, the seeds are the same.
It depends on your state. Home cultivation is legal in a growing number of states, but the rules vary a lot. Some allow 6 plants per person, others cap it per household, and a few states with legal adult-use sales still don't permit home growing at all.
We've put together detailed home grow guides for states across the country. Check the Triangle Hemp blog and search your state to see exactly what's allowed where you live. Buying seeds is legal in all 50 states under the 2018 Farm Bill.

Both work well. It comes down to your setup and goals.
Outdoors is lower cost, lower maintenance, and lets plants reach their full size using free sunlight. The tradeoff is one harvest window per year and less control over conditions.
Indoors gives you full control over light, temperature, and humidity. You can run multiple cycles per year. The tradeoff is higher upfront cost and more active management.
Our growing guide covers both setups in detail, including what equipment you actually need to get started.

Start with an autoflowering strain. They finish in 9–12 weeks from seed, don't require a light schedule change to trigger flowering, and are generally more forgiving if conditions aren't perfect. Good picks for new growers are strains that are labeled as high-yielding and resilient.
From there: read our step-by-step growing guide, bookmark the germination guide before you pop your first seed, and use the Strain Selection Guide if you're not sure which variety fits your situation. When you're ready to buy, browse the shop here.

Yes. Orders are packaged plainly with no indication of contents on the outside. We ship to all 50 states and most orders go out within 1–2 business days. Questions about your order? Text or call us M–F 10–6 EST at (919) 410-6945.
It depends on the type of strain.
Autoflowers are the fastest. Most finish in 9–12 weeks from seed, start to finish. See our autoflower strains here.
Photoperiod strains take longer. Outdoors, they spend the spring and summer in vegetative growth, then flower as days shorten in late summer and finish at harvest in September or October. Indoors, total time from seed to harvest is typically 16–24 weeks depending on how long you let the plant grow before switching to a 12/12 light schedule.

Autoflowering strains are consistently the most forgiving for new growers. They finish fast, tolerate minor mistakes in feeding and light, and don't require you to manage a light schedule to trigger flowering. If you're growing outdoors, they also give you flexibility on timing. You're not locked into the fall harvest window like you are with photoperiods.

Yes. Cannabis seeds contain negligible THC and are legal to purchase in all 50 states under the 2018 Farm Bill. We ship nationwide. Whether you can legally grow those seeds depends on your state's home cultivation laws. Check our state home grow guides to see where your state stands.
For a basic indoor setup you'll need: a grow tent or dedicated space, a grow light (LED is the most practical choice today), a ventilation fan and carbon filter, containers, growing medium, and nutrients. You don't need anything exotic to get started. A modest setup in a closet or small tent can produce excellent results.

A basic outdoor grow can be done for under $100 if you're using soil from a garden center and natural sunlight. A starter indoor setup typically runs $200–$500 depending on the size of your space and the quality of your light. More dialed-in setups with better equipment run $500–$1,500 and up.

THCa (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is the raw, acidic form of THC found in the live cannabis plant. It's non-psychoactive in its unheated state. When you apply heat (smoking, vaping, cooking) it converts to delta-9 THC through a process called decarboxylation.
Because it tests below 0.3% delta-9 THC in its raw form, THCa flower currently qualifies as hemp under the 2018 Farm Bill and is federally legal. State laws vary, so check your local regulations. Read our full THCa explainer here.

These terms get used loosely, so here's how we think about them.
Sativa-leaning strains are often associated with creativity and daytime use. They grow tall with longer flowering times.
Indica-leaning strains are often associated with relaxation and evening use. They're shorter, bushier plants that finish faster.
Hybrids fall somewhere in between. Most modern strains are hybrids to some degree, bred to combine traits from both.
The honest answer is that the cannabinoid and terpene profile matters more than the sativa/indica label. Use our Strain Selection Guide to find the right variety for your grow.

Yes. We stand behind our seeds. If you follow proper germination technique and your seeds don't pop, reach out and we'll make it right. Read our germination guide first. Most germination failures come down to technique, not seed quality, and the guide covers the most common mistakes. Still have an issue? Call or text us at (919) 410-6945.
Keep them cool, dark, and dry. The biggest threats to seed viability are heat, light, and moisture. Short-term storage (weeks to a few months): a sealed container in a cool, dark drawer works fine. Long-term storage (months to years): a sealed container in the refrigerator is ideal. Avoid the freezer unless you're storing for multiple years and know what you're doing. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles cause damage. Don't open cold-stored seeds until they've warmed to room temperature to prevent condensation.
For most of the US, the outdoor planting window is late April through early June, after your last frost date and once nights stay reliably above 50°F. Plant too early and cold nights stunt growth or trigger early flowering in photoperiod strains. Plant too late and your plants won't have enough time to reach full size before the fall flowering window.
Planting timing varies by climate zone. Use our USDA Zone Map to find the right window for your location.

Cannabis needs three primary macronutrients: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). During vegetative growth, plants want higher nitrogen. Once flowering begins, they shift toward more phosphorus and potassium. Secondary nutrients like calcium and magnesium matter too. Deficiencies show up often, especially in coco or hydro grows.
If you're growing in quality amended soil, you may not need to add much for the first several weeks. A simple bottled nutrient line designed for cannabis keeps things straightforward. We cover feeding schedules and what to watch for in our fertilizer guide.
