If you haven’t started your outdoor grow yet, the best tip is to just start growing. Otherwise, here are some great tips to help you make your outdoor grow successfull! 

When it comes to growing cannabis, the choice of what to grow can be overwhelming. You might know your sativa from your indica and you might know the differences between an auto-flowering, a regular and a feminised but when it comes to deciding what to grow; you might be at a complete loss.

That is where the ASC is here to help with our top 5 selling sativas. We are not claiming that these 5 are the best but in no particular order, they happen to be the 5 sativas our customers demand the most.

The AmsterdamSeedCenter-Forum is a place where we can talk (anonymously) about everything that is related to our beloved cannabis plant. This is a place where I can also interact with you guys too. The @EsjeHerb column is great, but a two way conversation is even better! Let us expand our knowledge of the mighty herb and all things grow!

So I have a thread on the ASC-forum running right now about EXOTIC CULTIVARS. It is a real HOT TOPIC at the moment so I am going to bring this discussion to my blog this month.

From my experience I can really conclude that there is a difference between ‘common weed’ and more ‘exotic/terpene rich flowers’. Part of it has to do with growing and drying/curing skills, but I’m sure that the genetics that are being used play a BIG part.

CBD or Cannabidiol, is (just) one of many (phyto)-cannabinoids often found in Cannabis. Cannabis contains at least 85 types of cannabinoids, many of which have documented medical value. 

You've probably thought about growing cannabis but decided against it because of the amount of work involved. Growing cannabis is not an easy task but it is not the most complicated thing you will ever do, I promise you that.

CBD is trending big at the moment. It seems as if, everywhere you turn, you are being told that CBD will cure your latest health complaint(s) and that it comes in so many forms you can even treat your pets to a better quality of life, and you know what… It seems to actually benefit many people as well as animals…; but can CBD cure a hangover? 

At the AmsterdamSeedCenter we always get questions about what kind of strains customers should grow in their country, as each place has specific climate-related requirements...

What do they say? Men are from Mars and women are from Venus… Identification and separation of male and female plants is a very important aspect in the cultivation of regular cannabis seeds. If you don’t recognize the signs it could cost you your crop! 

In this edition I will discuss the future of Cannabis –and that future is Extractions! The terms ‘Distillate’ and “Isolate” have probably crossed your ears because they are used in a wide range of applications nowadays and I think that they will get even more popular this year. I will do my best to explain in ‘common language’ what these terms mean and how these purified cannabis fractions are being made. Believe me people, molecular distillation is the future!
