Seed Classification Knowledge Index — Cannabis Seed Types & Categories

This Seed Classification Knowledge Index defines the terminology used to categorise cannabis seeds across catalogues, collections, and educational references on Laughing Leaf Seeds.

Its purpose is to explain how classification language is used — not to instruct, recommend, or advise. All classifications are presented descriptively and aligned with a UK compliance-first editorial standard.

Seeds sold on this site are positioned strictly as souvenirs or collectibles. This page does not describe germination, cultivation, or production methods.

This page forms part of the wider educational framework outlined in the Master Knowledge Index .

Scope & Classification Context

Seed classification language functions primarily as a catalogue and navigation tool. Terms are used to group varieties, support browsing, and provide high-level context rather than to describe guaranteed outcomes.

This index standardises how classification terminology is referenced across the site, prioritising clarity while avoiding technical instruction.

Primary Seed Types

  • Regular seeds — A traditional catalogue classification where sex expression is not pre-selected, often referenced in breeding and legacy lineage contexts.
  • Feminised seeds — A classification describing seeds marketed with an intended female expression outcome, as reported by breeders.
  • Autoflower seeds — A catalogue category associated with genetics commonly described as time-based in flowering behaviour.
  • CBD varieties — A grouping used for lines marketed around cannabidiol-forward profiles rather than THC emphasis.

These classifications reflect industry-standard catalogue language and should be understood descriptively rather than prescriptively.

Legacy Variety Groupings

  • Indica — A legacy grouping term commonly associated with compact growth narratives and certain heritage lineages.
  • Sativa — A legacy grouping term associated with taller growth narratives and historical effect-based language.
  • Hybrid — A broad classification indicating mixed heritage from multiple lineage groupings.

These groupings originate from historical and commercial usage and are not treated as strict botanical classifications within this index.

THC Strength Banding Terminology

Strength banding is used in consumer-facing catalogues as simplified comparative language.

  • High THC — A catalogue label indicating varieties marketed with higher reported THC emphasis.
  • Medium THC — A catalogue label indicating moderate reported THC emphasis.

Reported chemical profiles may vary due to genetics, environment, and reporting standards. Strength banding is presented here as terminology only.

How Classification Terms Are Used in Catalogues

Classification terminology functions as navigational shorthand, helping readers browse and compare varieties at a high level.

On Laughing Leaf Seeds, classification language is supported by educational and genetics context, including terminology defined within the Genetics Knowledge Index .
