How does the PPS cannabis seedfinder work?
The PPS cannabis seedfinder is a free interactive tool that filters our entire Canadian seed catalog by three criteria: seed type (feminized, autoflower, fast version, CBD), desired effect (relaxing indica, energizing sativa, balanced hybrid, high THC, or medical CBD), and your experience level (beginner, intermediate, expert). Select one or more filters in any combination to narrow your search. The seedfinder updates results instantly, surfacing in-stock strains first.
What is a cannabis seedfinder?
A cannabis seedfinder (sometimes called a strain finder) is a search tool that matches cannabis seeds to your growing goals. Rather than scrolling through hundreds of strains hoping to spot the right one, you specify what you want — relaxing indica genetics for evening use, energizing sativa for daytime productivity, balanced hybrids for everyday versatility, high-THC powerhouses, or CBD-dominant medical varieties — and the seedfinder surfaces matches from our catalog. The tool also accounts for grow experience, recommending easier-to-cultivate strains for beginners.
Which cannabis seed type is right for you?
PPS carries four main cannabis seed types. Use the seedfinder filter to narrow by the one that fits your setup:
- Feminized seeds : 99%+ female plants, the standard for growers who want guaranteed flowers without separating males. Photoperiod-triggered, meaning you control flowering with light schedule changes.
- Autoflower seeds : Independent of light schedule, flower based on plant age (8-10 weeks total). Ideal for Canadian short outdoor seasons and beginners who want a fast harvest.
- Fast version seeds : 70-80 day flowering vs 60-70 for autoflowers, photoperiod-triggered but faster than regular feminized. The middle ground for outdoor Canadian growers who want photoperiod control with shorter timing.
- CBD seeds : 1:1 THC:CBD or CBD-dominant ratios. Best for medical users and those who want the therapeutic benefits of cannabinoids without heavy THC effects.

How to use the seedfinder for Canadian growers
Canada's short outdoor season (90-110 frost-free days in most provinces) means timing matters. For outdoor growers in Quebec, Ontario, or BC, the seedfinder's autoflower and fast version filters surface strains that finish before the first frost. For indoor and tent growers, the seedfinder can match high-THC genetics with the experience filter to recommend cultivars that don't overwhelm beginners. Quebec growers should also pay attention to mold-resistant indica-dominant hybrids if growing outdoors near Montreal's humid summers.
Frequently asked questions about our cannabis seedfinder
Is using the cannabis seedfinder free?
Yes. The PPS cannabis seedfinder is completely free to use. You only pay when you purchase seeds.
Do you ship cannabis seeds across Canada?
Yes. PPS ships cannabis seeds to all Canadian provinces and territories. Seeds are legal to purchase as collectibles under Canadian law.
How accurate are the seedfinder filter results?
The filters draw directly from each strain product specifications: genetics, seed type, and difficulty rating. Results are pulled live from our catalog and update instantly.
What's the difference between a seedfinder and a strain finder?
They are the same concept. "Seedfinder" emphasizes the buying decision (which seeds to purchase); "strain finder" emphasizes the genetic identity. PPS uses both terms interchangeably.
Are all seeds in the seedfinder suitable for the Canadian climate?
Our catalog is curated for Canadian growers. Autoflower and fast version strains are particularly suited to short outdoor seasons. For indoor growers, all photoperiod feminized strains work regardless of climate.
Can I find triploid cannabis seeds in the seedfinder?
Triploid cannabis seeds are a newer category. As PPS adds triploid genetics to the catalog, they will appear in the seedfinder under feminized seeds with a triploid label.
