Regular seeds offer endless possibilities for cultivators to experiment. At first, in the early days of Sensi Seeds and the European regular seed market, a regular seed was simply a regular seed. Today, the term regular marijuana seeds is used to separate the original seeds from feminized or autoflowering marijuana seeds, which are often used for breeding purposes. Autoflowers are more potent marijuana plants than regular seeds, but they are more sensitive to frost. They can also be used outdoors, but only in well frost-free locations.
There are three types of marijuana seeds that can be used to start new plants. Autoflowering marijuana seeds produce either male or female plants. The female plants have two sets of leaves and bloom during the flowering stage. The males do not have sets of leaves and bloom during the flowering stage.
Some marijuana breeders use Autoflowering Marijuana Seeds to hybridize or create new kinds of cannabis plants. When used in this manner, the end result is a continuous and ongoing series of crossing between the feminized or autoflowering marijuana seeds to produce either male or female plants. This creates a continuous genetic history and makes the resulting plant consistent genetically.
The second type of marijuana seed is feminized or hybrid. This form of reproduction happens by cross-breeding marijuana plants that are known to be self-fertile. In this way, the plant produces seed capsules instead of flowers. Self-fertilized seeds cannot reproduce themselves. The plant’s growing requirements are different and it cannot reproduce itself.
It is important to note that hybridization can affect the price of a certain kind of marijuana. Since feminized seeds are still a novelty for the market, the growers can put up with some amount of loss in revenue. However, most professional growers have begun investing in this method to increase their income. Since females are more susceptible to pests compared to males, hybridization opens the possibility to include females in the production.
Many commercial breeders also experiment with cross-pollination. This means that the plants are bred to produce regular seeds only or a certain kind of cross-pollinated seeds. In some cases, she produces regular seeds but produces feminized seeds due to cross-pollination. In other cases, the opposite occurs. Some farmers experiment with cross-pollination on their own or through breeding techniques, while others introduce male and female plants together so that the plants are not able to reproduce.
There are also instances when a farmer mixes regular seeds with feminized ones so that the plant pollen has an easier route to reaching its target buds. Usually, female plants are placed on the outside of the home or under hedges. This allows the pollen from male plants to pass directly to the male flowers or bracts. The pollen then easily travels into the interior of the home. Female plants contain large amounts of pollen, which makes it easier for the pollen to find its way to the other parts of the home.
Regular cannabis seeds are usually used for producing feminized cannabis plants. It is common for consumers to cross-pollinate plants in order to make feminized versions of regular cannabis seeds. When cross-pollinating cannabis plants, make sure that you only cross-pollinate plants that naturally produce feminized seeds. Otherwise, cross-pollinate with feminized seeds obtained from another source. In order to grow feminized cannabis plants, cross-pollinate with another species of cannabis.
However, cross-pollination can be useful to the grower if the grower wants to focus on producing a specific type of weed. If you want to specialize in producing Strobile weed or Blueberry weed, for example, cross-pollinate with a weed that is highly susceptible to that particular trait. Once the grower produces a highly susceptible weed, then it will be much easier to control the production of that specific weed. As the grower works through the seasons to fully develop their plants, they can work to fully develop their feminized seeds so that they can completely ignore that particular weed.
As the years pass and the grower continues to develop their plants under their own care, they can fully rely on their feminized seeds to produce the greatest yields. Cross-pollinating helps to ensure that the plant genetics stay uniform, allowing the grower to truly appreciate their feminized seeds. Working with a professional can greatly benefit the grower when it comes to working with their feminized seeds.
Understanding the basics of hermaphroditism can greatly benefit the gardener. Learning how to cultivate seeds with the best possible success rate will allow a person to truly enjoy their feminized seeds. It can take many years to fully develop a garden full of hermaphrodites. In many cases, the gardener will be completely satisfied when their garden has become a beautiful, thriving landscape full of beautiful feminized plants. They may even begin to plant a few of their own seeds and see their efforts pay off. Remember, any of the regular seeds can become feminized, just as long as they are in the right environment.
