Welcome to Common Cannabis Questions

Common Cannabis Questions is a blog post for all those questions that we commonly see throughout the community. Accordingly, questions will range from light cycle recommendations, to state to state cannabis legalities and more!

What Are The Legalities of Cannabis Seeds?

Cannabis seeds are federally legal as they contain no medicinal properties in their seed form. At this time, we consider them “collectable novelties” at our store and sell them under that notion. And being that seeds are legal, everyone in any state can legally and safely order seeds from us and have them shipped or picked up at our store. We also offer the option for our customers to shop in-store on our tablets or with a real person!

 

 

Common Shop Questions:

Can People Come Inside To Shop?

Yes! We have a small lobby that is stocked full of different inventory and tablets to shop beans on. At the present time, seeds are kept in an employee only area to ensure storage safety.

What Forms Of Payment Can Be Used?

We accept multiple forms of payment based on how the order is placed. For in-store orders, we accept cash or credit/debit card. Our card machine charges an additional 3.99 % fee per transaction. Online orders can be paid for with credit/debit card or mailed in payment such as; Money Order, Cash, or Personal Check.

Can Orders Be Placed Ahead Of A Visit?

We allow orders to be placed and held for up to two weeks for pick up in our shop. Pick up orders can be placed online and prepaid as well.

Common Inventory Questions:

What Can Be Found At The Seed Cellar?

In-store we offer a wide variety of products from seeds to official Seed Cellar apparel. Some products are unable to be listed on our website due to size and shipping interferences, if you’re interested in purchasing in-store only product, please email or call us during business hours to receive a list of inventory available.

What Is the Difference Between Auto/Fem/Reg Seeds?

Feminized seeds are our most popular product as this takes the guess work out of your seed. These seeds are perfect for those with a small area or indoor room. Both Photoperiod and Autoflowering can be feminized.

Regular seeds require needing sexed when grown. Generally, many growers want to stay away from male plants are they are used to pollinate female plants and create genetics. Altogether, they don’t have many uses for the average gardener. Pulling these plants is recommended if you have no desire to breed genetics for future use.

Autoflowering seeds create a plant that does not require a light cycle change during their life. These plants automatically flower around 3-4 weeks and are traditionally smaller in size. Surprisingly, autoflowering seeds can be feminized or regular.

Photoperiod seeds are the beginning of a traditional cannabis plant that everyone knows and loves. These plants will require a light cycle change throughout their life; mirroring the solstice in the late summer months. Many growers prefer these plants for their size and ability to be grown outdoors.

We’ve touched on the differences on Auto/Fem/Reg Seeds before on a separate blog post that you can check out here.

What Can Be Found Online?

We offer cannabis seeds and apparel on our website! You can find thousands of varieties of cannabis seeds from many different breeders listed. Filters are offered to the left-hand side of the screen to better narrow down any search, as the lists can be overwhelming!

Common Filters Used:

Overall, we recommend relaxing and scrolling the website during any free time to browse our inventory. But if you’re needing seed now, we understand and highly recommend the use of the filter tags! At this time, all products found on the website, should currently be in stock.

Does The Seed Cellar Sell Clones?

No, we are unable to properly keep and maintain clones at this time.

When Will Seedlings Be Available?

While we don’t stock clones, every spring and summer we supply the community an opportunity to obtain baby cannabis plants known as seedlings. We begin this process in early February to have small plants available by the end of March. Prices fluctuate accordingly every year they’re offered. Strains offered will be selected from the Life Is An Adventure collection with limited breeder strains available throughout the season.

What Kind Of Mycology Supplies Do You Have?

Yes! We offer a variety of different mycology supplies and offer a monthly class providing assistance to individuals. Majority of the supplies we offer is larger and we are unable to ship these products at this time. Liquid cultivation supplies can be shipped to all states except: Georgia, Idaho, and California.

Common Shipping Questions:

How Does The Seed Cellar Ship Products?

We ship our products through the United States Postal Service (USPS) in a discrete bubble mailer. Our labels will use the anagram “TSC” to indicate The Seed Cellar is shipping to your home or establishment. Overall this method ensures a safe journey for your package, and adds an additional layer of protection.

How Long Will My Package Take To Ship?

We typically estimate a 3-5 business day journey for orders placed with us. The closer you’re ordering from, usually the shorter the shipping time for your package. Occasionally, holidays will effect these time estimates as the USPS begins intercepting and delivering an influx of packages.

Will I Receive A Tracking Number?

Yes! Everyone that provides an email address to us will receive a tracking number from the USPS online service in one of two ways:

  1. If you place your order online through our website, you will receive a tracking number from us through your email linked to your account.
  2. If you place your order over the phone, you will receive a tracking number from Roger Maufort through Stamps.com – these labels are manually created through the USPS label generating website.

Common Grow Questions:

What Pest Is Invading My Plant?

Cannabis plants have a wide variety of pests that can affect your plants every year. With so many pests out there, we recommend closely looking at the damage to your plants and looking at our Cannabis Plant Pests and What to Know blog post. Although we don’t have every plant pest listed, we listed the most commonly present in a majority of the countries areas.

If you feel none of these pests are invading your garden, we recommend reaching out to the cannabis growing community through Facebook Groups, Reddit Forums, Discord Forums, etc.! Nothing is more rewarding than when the community comes together to help one another out.

What Light Cycle Does My Plant Require?

When growing outdoors, you won’t have to worry about changing your light cycle as mother nature does it for us! But when growing indoors, your plant may or may not require a light cycle change to properly flower.

  • Autoflowering plants will not require a light cycle change, as they prefer a 18/6 cycle their whole life. It’s not recommended to leave 24 hours of light for these plants, as all living organisms require rest to grow properly.
  • Photoperiod plants will require a light cycle change from 18/6 during the vegetation period to 12/12 during the flowering period. Outside this happens naturally at the end of the summer months. Indoors plants can stay in the vegetative state until they complete the standards to be flipped into flower.

What Is Good To Grow Outdoors?

This question always depends on where you live, as the northern states frost in the fall. Regardless, a good solid choice is a 7-9week flowering period.

All Time Popular Strains:

If you need something else, we offer a variety of flowering times for different needs and different speeds. Check out our website filter tags or give us a call during business hours!

Can Autoflowers Be Grown Outside?

Yes! While it’s controversial amongst some, they can definitely be grown outdoors. Depending the care they receive and the amount of sunlight available, an autoflowering plant can flourish outdoors. We recommend a large, breathable pot to house your plant or place them into the ground if pots are unavailable. If they are given enough space, they can grow accordingly to their estimated yield size.

Can Autoflowering Plants Be Cloned?

No, autoflowering plants may not be cloned due to the genetics. At this time only photoperiod plants can be cloned.

Community Psychedelic Meeting: Guest Speaker Lucia Pavone

Written by Alina DeRossett on . Posted in Mycology 101.

Every month we host community psychedelic meetings free to the public. Our goal is to promote informed discussions, educate, and create a community. A community where both those just becoming interested in psychedelics and seasoned psychonauts can come together to share accurate information to destigmatize and normalize the conversation around psychedelics within the community. You can sign up for the meeting here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/february-community-psychedelic-meeting-tickets-757998974337 

This month we are having a guest speaker, her name is Lucia Pavone. I was looking to find like minded community members in the psychedelic family and that is exactly what happened upon meeting Lucia. I first met Lucia at the Detroit Psychedelic Society Conference. Her warm welcoming charm was one I will never forget. Everytime I am around her I am reminded to stand strong in my powerful, cozy, sensual, feminine energy. And to not dim my light. I am excited for Lucia to share her profound knowledge about Somatics, Sexuality, and psychedelic mushrooms. It is going to be a beautiful journey of connecting the Mind, Heart, Body, and Spirituality.

Lucia Pavone

A little more about Lucia:

Lucia Pavone, Pleasure instigator, Permission grantor, is a Somatic Sex Educator and Sacred Dao Pelvic Practitioner. She wears many hats including international speaker, MushWomb Strega, Temple Priestess, and instructor of the art of sensual pleasure. But, her most prized role is being a mother.

Lucia is dedicated and passionate about supporting people to embody their sensuality and love their juicy bodies, so they can free themselves from shame, sexual and ancestral traumas AND have gratifying relationships and a sex life worth bragging about.

The daughter of Sicilian immigrants, her personal journey of healing ancestral, sexual, and religious trauma has guided her life’s purpose. An eternal seeker, she is inspired by Spirit to travel the world, embodying the wisdom of the Divine Feminine, knowledge of ancient temples, Oracles, and ancestral wisdom. She brings all of this to share in Community, so that we may begin to experience planetary healing.

20 years ago, she took her first sensuality course and realized the pursuit of pleasure and supporting healing in others was her calling. She became a dedicated researcher of communication, relationships, sex and sensuality. Busting through the limitations put on a woman’s orgasm, she’s experienced over 6,000 hours of Deliberate Embodied Orgasm (full body, extended orgasm).

Lucia Pavone

In 2017, Lucia teamed up with the late Dr. Juan Acosta Urquidi, neuroscientist/ shaman, to research the effects of full body, extended orgasm. Preliminary findings of QEEG readings showed that the brain goes into a hypnagogic state, much like when we use psychedelics. Making the correlation, she understood the important healing properties of sacred Earth technologies and integrated psilocybin mushrooms into her client sessions.

Lucia believes that by experiencing the universe through sensual gratification, pleasurable communication, and a woman’s orgasm, life has infinite possibilities.

Psilocybin Mushrooms

What is Psilocybin Therapy?

Written by The Seed Cellar on . Posted in Mycology 101.

Psilocybin therapy involves using psilocybin, which is the psychoactive ingredient in psilocybin mushrooms, aka magic mushrooms, to treat a variety of mental health conditions. Psilocybin therapy, also known as psilocybin-assisted therapy, utilizes the psychedelic compound in a therapeutic setting to treat various disorders such as anxiety and depression, PTSD, obsessive-compulsive disorder, addictions, and psychosis.

What Is a Psilocybin Therapy Session Like?

Psilocybin-assisted therapy involves the ingestion of the psilocybin chemical while under the care of a therapist who facilitates the patient’s psychedelic journey in a safe and controlled environment. A typical session can last from 6 to 8 hours which is about the span of the full effect of the psilocybin dose. The general standard is for patients to experience the psychedelic journey with the guidance of a therapist one time, although in some cases, patients may have more than one psilocybin-assisted therapy session.

One goal of psilocybin therapy is to expedite emotional obstacles through a psychedelic journey as opposed to taking months or years of talk therapy to slowly acknowledge long-term problems. Psilocybin therapy may not be for everyone, although many people who have experienced little reprieve from depression and other mental health disorders with conventional treatment methods have experienced success in breaking through mental obstacles.

The History of Psilocybin Therapy

The consideration of using a psychedelic drug for the treatment of mental conditions might sound like something new age or on the fringe, although the use of psychedelics has been studied by John Hopkins University for decades. John Hopkins received the first regulatory approval in 2000 for psychedelic research, which was decades after the government banned psychedelic research and therapy in 1970. John Hopkins published the first research paper on the long-term, positive impact of psilocybin therapy in 2006, with many academic studies and research conducted since then.

John Hopkins has researched the benefits of psilocybin therapy to treat patients and provide a long-term, solid positive impact for a variety of conditions.

Who Can Psilocybin Therapy Help?

Psilocybin-assisted therapy is typically reserved for people with conditions or issues that have been refractory to conventional therapy methods. People with the following conditions have been shown to receive significant benefits from psilocybin therapy:

Chronic illness – people with a chronic or life-threatening disease such as cancer have been shown to experience an improvement in depression and anxiety with a single dose of psilocybin. People in this category experienced a reduction of hopelessness, anxiety, and depression and improved attitudes about their mood, life, and/or a sense of spirituality.

Depression and anxiety – depression and anxiety can be extremely debilitating for many people and can negatively impact their ability to go about daily activities. People with depression or anxiety that have been resistant to conventional treatment have found improvement with the use of psilocybin therapy, with one study showing an improvement in at least 54% of participants who were no longer termed as being depressed after four weeks. Another randomized clinical trial on the effects of psilocybin-assisted therapy to treat major depressive disorder (MDD) concluded that psilocybin therapy was efficacious in treating MDD and extended previous results showing the benefits of psychedelic intervention for patients with major depression and life-threatening illness.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, PTSD – psychedelic, psilocybin-assisted therapy has been shown to be effective to help people with PTSD, which can disrupt all facets of life when left untreated. According to a study published by the National Institutes of Health which reviewed the potential for psychedelic treatment of PTSD, the availability of psychedelics could bring in a new era of evidence-based treatment options for PTSD patients. Psychedelic, psilocybin-assisted therapy has allowed many PTSD patients to recover with positive results.

Addiction – psilocybin therapy has also been shown to be beneficial to treat people with various addictions such as smoking, alcohol, or other drug addictions.

As research continues to gain ground on the benefits of psychedelic therapy, people suffering from these conditions and others have hope for an alternative treatment and recovery.
