Frequently Asked Questions

All seeds sold by Triangle Hemp are feminized. We do not offer non-feminized seeds.

Hemp and Marijuana are two names for the same plant, Cannabis. Cannabis Sativa L. is the scientific name for the plant. In the United States, the 2014 Farm Bill defined Hemp as Cannabis with less than less than .3% Delta-9 THC and Marijuana as Cannabis with more than .3% Delta-9 THC. For a more in-depth explanation how THCa Flower fits in, check out our this blog post.

Only our Type 3 and 4 varieties are intended for licensed hemp growers.

The answer is…maybe. Unfortunately not every state allows home cultivation of cannabis. Please check with your local and state government to ensure you are allowed to cultivate. Just because weed is legal in your state doesn’t mean you can grow at home.

Plant scientists have grouped cannabis strains into four different “Types” based on what cannabinoids they contain. 

Type 1 – THCa Dominant

Type 2 – Contains THC and CBD

Type 3 – CBD Dominant

Type 4 – CBG Dominant

If you can legally grow outdoors, then you should strongly consider it. That is a massive luxury that the majority of the country can not do. Growing outdoors requires less equipment and energy, and is a great way to connect with nature. There are however particular challenges associated with growing outdoors that you should keep in mind. Diseases in particular can be challenging toward the end of the season if you are in an area with a  rainy fall season. Using Autoflowering varieties can help overcome this challenge by flowering earlier in the season. 

Growing indoors is also incredibly fun in a different way. Yes it is more expensive and time consuming but you also have total control over the environment and get to play with lots of cool technology. Additionally, if discretion is key, then growing indoors is your best option. Also, if you are consuming the flower by smoking or vaporization and have a compromised immune system, you may want to grow indoors to reduce your risk of unwanted pathogens or mold on your flower.

We have put together a strain selection guide and comprehensive beginner grow guide. We have also put together a germination guide as well as an indoor and outdoor guide. If you still have questions, feel free to give us a call and we’ll be happy to help. 

Yes, all our seeds are shipped in small mail pouches with no references to the contents. Our return address says “Triangle Products”.

For photoperiod strains, expect 4-6 months total from seed to harvest – about 2-4 weeks for germination and seedling stage, 2-6 weeks of vegetative growth, and 8-10 weeks of flowering. Autoflower strains are faster, typically ready to harvest in 8-12 weeks from seed regardless of light schedule. Outdoor grows follow the natural season, with planting in spring/summer and harvesting in fall. Your first grow might take a bit longer as you learn, but you’ll get faster with experience.

Autoflower strains are the easiest for beginners because they flower automatically without needing light schedule changes, are more forgiving of mistakes, and finish faster. (one important note is to make sure you follow our Autoflower Specific Germination guidance) We specifically recommend strains that are naturally pest-resistant and don’t require extensive training or pruning. Browse our autoflower collection to see beginner-friendly options. If you want personalized strain recommendations based on your specific growing conditions, give us a call or text and we’ll be happy to help guide you. (919-410-6945)

Yes, cannabis seeds can be legally purchased online nationwide and shipped to all 50 states. According to a 2022 DEA ruling, all cannabis seeds are classified as hemp because the seed itself contains no THC. However, growing those seeds may not be legal in your state. Some states allow home cultivation of marijuana, some only allow hemp cultivation (under 0.3% THC), and some don’t allow home growing at all. You are responsible for knowing and complying with your local and state laws. We recommend checking your state’s current cultivation laws before germinating any seeds.

For a basic indoor setup, you’ll need a grow light, containers with drainage, quality soil or growing medium, basic nutrients, and a fan for air circulation. You don’t need to spend thousands of dollars – a simple setup can cost $200-500 to get started. As you gain experience, you might want to add equipment like pH meters, humidity controllers, or carbon filters, but these aren’t essential for your first grow. Check out our Indoor Growing Recipe for a detailed equipment list and simple growing method that works well for beginners.ntent

A basic indoor setup typically costs $200-500 for equipment (lights, containers, soil, nutrients, fan) plus about $20-50 per month in electricity and supplies. Outdoor growing is significantly cheaper – often under $100 to start since you’re using natural sunlight. Seeds typically cost $10-15 each. Your first harvest from just 2-3 plants can yield several ounces of flower, which quickly pays for your initial investment. Many home growers find that after the first harvest, their cost per ounce is far less than purchasing from dispensaries.
