How to Crossbreed Regular Seed With Feminized Seed to Create Different Marijuana Seeds
Choosing which is the right marijuana seed to grow can be a little tricky, even though many people feel that they know which seed is “best.” Regular seeds or feminized lines: Which are better? While choosing the right marijuana seeds for a next grow, selecting whether to grow regular or feminized (non-feminized) marijuana seeds is really an important step to take. Women who are pregnant should stay away from regular seeds, as they may cause damage to the developing fetus if consumed during the time of pregnancy.
Feminized cannabis plants are created by crossing the female cannabis plant with male preflowers. In creating the feminized plant, the female cannabis plant produces a small amount of male flowers, which then bloom and pollinate the female flowers on the male plant. When these male flowers pollinate the female flowers on the male cannabis plant, then it will grow a complete cannabis plant. However, because the male flowers must first be pollinated before the female flowers can grow, it is typically safer to grow these plants together.
There are many advantages to growing feminized plants. These include, avoiding the use of harmful chemicals, avoiding cross-contamination and having a more consistent level of quality. The disadvantages of using feminized seed would be the possibility of cross-contamination and having a less consistent level of quality. If a grower were to use regular seeds and hybrid marijuana, then they would be avoiding some of these risks. Hybrid plants, although rare, can be extremely hard to grow and have a higher risk of cross-contamination. This is because the genetic coding in regular cannabis plants is very similar to that of hybrid plants.
Some advantages of using regular and hybrid marijuana are that the taste is much easier to deal with, they are easier to grow in small spaces, less expensive to purchase and easier to propagate. Some benefits of using regular seeds are that it is easier to control the overall quality of the crop you get, it is possible to control the amount of time that the plant spends on blooming and will thus maximize its potential. Some drawbacks of using regular seeds are that they may be difficult to propagate and take longer to mature.
While it is possible to grow cannabis with regular seeds, some growers prefer to produce feminized strains. For them, this is a matter of personal preference. Those who prefer to produce feminized strains often do so by selecting more expensive non-hybrid seeds that lack the beneficial traits of their hybrid counterparts. While this can often result in better crops, it also means that they have to spend more money on their product.
A number of different kinds of cannabis seeds are available. An example of this is the Indica strain, which is cross-bred with the Thai and Hawaiian Indicas. These often have very distinct characteristics, including desirable height, aroma and flavor. Typically, Indica marijuana is prized for its heavy, dark coloration and for being very strong. Many times, the buds of this type are used for smoking rather than trimming because they grow so large.
When it comes to growing regular seeds versus feminized seeds, the winner is almost always the latter. If you want to grow high quality buds, then you must stick with the regular variety. Indicas can have the benefit of being cross-bred with other types of plants, including Thai, Hawaiian and Jamaican strains. They can also be crossbred with indica plants, producing new hybrid types. Hybrid buds are produced frequently as well and can even be used for indoor growing. However, they are not nearly as consistent in taste as those from regular seeds.
If you are interested in breeding cannabis seeds, there are two options. The first involves buying a male and a female cannabis plant. You then transfer the male into the female’s space and care for the cannabis seeds. In most cases, you will end up with a hybrid between a male and a female, but you may also end up with one that has male and female qualities. Keep in mind that crossbreeding can lead to substantial differences in taste, so crossbreeding with male plants may not always result in desirable results.
