Sticky Genetics — Frequently Asked Questions
About Sticky Genetics
What is Sticky Genetics?
Sticky Genetics is a craft cannabis genetics company built by a small, passionate team focused on unique strain combinations, terpene-forward profiles, and stable releases across feminized, regular, and autoflower lines.
Who is behind the breeding program?
Our lineup is developed by a core team of breeders, each with their own specialty — from feminized and landrace sourcing to autoflower work and terpene-driven selections. You can meet the team and learn more on our About Us page.
Are your seeds legal to order?
Cannabis laws vary widely by country, state, and region. Sticky Genetics sells souvenir seeds only. It is your responsibility to understand and follow the laws that apply where you live before placing an order. We do not provide legal advice.
What does “souvenir seed” mean?
Souvenir seeds are sold as collectible adult genetic souvenirs. Germination, cultivation, and use may be illegal where you are located. By ordering, you confirm that you are of legal age and that your purchase complies with applicable local laws.
Seeds & Genetics
What’s the difference between feminized, regular, and autoflower seeds?
- Feminized — bred to produce female plants under normal conditions, popular with growers who want to avoid male plants.
- Regular — produce both male and female plants; often preferred by breeders and pheno hunters.
- Autoflower — flower automatically based on age rather than light schedule; typically faster from seed to harvest.
- Photoperiod — rely on changes in light cycles to move from vegetative growth into flowering.
How do I choose the right strain?
Start with your grow environment (indoor, outdoor, tent size), experience level, and what you’re looking for — yield, terpene profile, flowering time, or breeding potential. Strain pages on our shop include lineage and attribute details to help narrow things down. The forum’s Strain Talk and Growing categories are also great places to ask for advice.
What is an F1, F2, or S1?
These terms describe generations in breeding:
- F1 — first-generation cross between two parent lines
- F2 — second generation, often showing more variation among offspring
- S1 — a selfed line, typically made from a selected female

How should I store my seeds?
Keep seeds in a cool, dark, dry place. Many collectors store them in airtight containers in a refrigerator. Avoid heat, moisture, and direct light. Proper storage helps maintain viability over time.
Will all seeds germinate?
Seed viability can be affected by storage, handling, and technique. We stand behind the quality of what we ship — if you have an issue with an order, reach out through our support channels with your order details.

Growing & Troubleshooting
I’m new to growing — where should I start?
Browse Growing → Beginners on the forum, read strain-specific info on the product page, and don’t be afraid to ask questions. The community is generally welcoming to newcomers who put in a little effort.
Why aren’t my seeds germinating?
Common factors include old or improperly stored seeds, overly wet or dry conditions, incorrect temperature, or handling damage. Search the forum first — many germination questions have been discussed in detail. If you believe there’s an issue with seeds from an order, contact support with your order number.
My plant looks unhealthy — can the forum help?
Yes. Post in Growing → Pests & Problems with clear photos, your grow setup, medium, nutrients, and what changed recently. The more context you give, the better the feedback.
Can staff diagnose my grow from forum posts?
Community advice is just that — community advice. Breeder and staff input may appear, but forum posts are not a substitute for doing your own research. Laws and grow conditions vary.
