Growing Cannabis: The 6 trends for cannabis seeds in 2022

The cannabis seeds are selling like hot cakes. Which seeds are the top sellers? Learn with us what the most popular cannabis seeds are and discover the trends of growing cannabis in 2022.

Trend 1: House brand weed seeds remain Unprecedentedly Popular

Also in 2022, we see our house brand seeds selling better than any other brand. The reason for our Private label Cannabis seeds selling so well is that the quality is equal to that of the known brands.  for a start, have equally strong germinating power as, for example, Greenhouse Seeds or Royal Queen Seeds. Additionally, we also have many of the same species in our selection as the known brands. Super Silver Haze, Auto Bubble Gum and Auto Northern Light for example.

The main advantage of Private label cannabis seeds of course is that it is more consumer friendly priced. That is definitely not the only advantage. The packaging of our house brand weed seeds has recently been redesigned. In order to reduce the amount of disposable plastic, we have decided to package the house brand seeds in biodegradable materials. The germination tray that comes with Dutch-Headshop seeds is made of PLA corn plastic. This is a bioplastic that degrades in the environment under the right conditions. 

Moreover, the tray does just as good a job as the plastic tray that we used to provide with the house brand weed seeds. There are two things we would like to draw your attention to. When germinating, it is possible that the tray becomes a little moist on the outside. So make sure you put the tray on a dish to avoid rings on your nice furniture. The water can also run out a little faster than you might be used to. So be sure to check every day whether the cotton wool supplied is nice and wet. If not, add a little (spring) water. 

Do you want to throw away the biodegradable container? Then you can throw it away with the residual waste. But why not throw it away if it is biodegradable and made of corn? The bin takes longer to decompose than the waste disposal department has time for. That is the only reason. So why do we choose corn plastic? Because it is made of sustainable material, it is less harmful to the environment as litter and it takes less energy to make.

Besides the favourable price and environmentally friendly packaging, there are even more advantages to our house brand weed seeds. Read more about it in this blog: "Why You Should Choose for Our Private Label Cannabis Seeds".

Trend 2: The Rise of Fast Flower Weed Seeds

With a slick marketing term and appropriate rush in second place: fast flower Weed seeds finish in 7 weeks or less! That's as fast or faster than most auto flowering seeds. Because yes, fast flower seeds are a type of photo period weed seeds that do not flower by themselves. But when the nights start to get longer or when you switch the light schedule to 12/12 for indoor growing, they will only need 7 weeks or less to give you a great yield! Interested?

Trend 3: Reaching for the THC Ceiling

Seed producers are constantly trying to outdo each other. Especially around the time of the cannabis cups, the best growers try to market superlatives in the cannabis industry. From even higher yields to delicious gourmet weed. But the category everyone is waiting for is that of high THC percentages. How high can they get the THC percentage in a bud?

If you are looking for the strongest weed, we have built up a nice selection for you. Year after year, we look for not only the THC hits, but also for the strongest strains with the best papers. After all, there is not much point in having super strong THC weed that hardly grows indoors or in a European climate.

Take Fatkid’s Cake by Amsterdam Genetics for example. It does very well indoors and outdoors and has 30% THC on board.

Although the "THC ceiling" has not yet been reached, we are now seeing very good weed seeds promising THC percentages of over 30%. This is a trend that will probably continue until we reach the theoretical maximum. What that maximum is and what causes it can be read in the extensive blog on the strongest weed.

Trend 4: Rather Trusted

The Dutch coffeeshop top sellers remain very popular with us as well. Cannabis with illustrious names like Amnesia Haze,  and White Widow have been popular for dozens of years. Also in 2022, these top sellers in Dutch coffeeshops are the most sold cannabis seeds. This is partly because we naturally like to smoke or vape our trusted cannabis, but also because we know what to expect during a cultivation. A successful cultivation with a high yield? Why would you re-invent the wheel the year after? We understand!

Trend 5: Cannabis for Connoisseurs

Still the Dutch classics are not for everyone. That is one of the reasons for the increasing demand for American cannabis. Surprising then to see our Autoflower Mix doing so well. That surely is not just because you can try out which cannabis you can grow the easiest. If you have always wondered if there is a flavor difference between the different species of cannabis, a mix is the way to try it out.

Cannabis with a distinct and original aroma had a diminishing demand last year, but for connoisseurs the demand for this year is increasing again. The prize-winners Pineapple Chunk from Barney’s Farm and Exodus Cheese from Greenhouse Seeds really jump out. Pineapple Chunk is a relaxing, minor indica cannabis with the flafor of sweet pineapple and a high percentage of THC of a good 25%. The Exodus Cheese however, is a mayor sativa plant with a lot of sideways branching. This makes her especially suitable for the ScrOG breeding technique. Exodus Cheese does not have a distinct cheesy flavor, but has indeed got an earthy or herbal flavor. Are you not growing for the first time? Then you can experiment with Exodus Cheese very well with advanced growing techniques!

Trend 6: Even more Auto flowers

More and more people see the usefulness and pleasure of growing cannabis ourselves. With self-grown cannabis you know exactly what it contains. You know for sure which specie it is, which nutrients to use for your plant (organic) and it saves a lot of money if you grow cannabis yourself, instead of paying a fortune for it at a coffeeshop.In the past year, of course, we have added the fact that we spend more time indoors and that coffee shops have closed their doors. The pandemic of 2020 has made us grow on a massive scale for our own personal use.

Are you a first time grower? Then we gladly recommend you to start with an autoflower cannabis plant. Autoflowers start flowering by themselves after a certain amount of time. It makes the growing of cannabis extremely simple. You can even set up several cultivations in one year. Also with outdoor weed growing. You can read how to do this in this special blog about auto flowers.

Besides, auto flowers are no longer the poor wannabe among the weed seeds. Where they used to stay small, have less yield or less THC to offer, they are now a match for photoperiod weed plants. You can now grow an auto flower that grows up to two metres tall, offers more than 20% THC and can produce almost a kilo of fresh weed.
