Feminized cannabis seeds are often the feminized seeds which have been genetically modified in such a manner that the plants produced from them tend to be female. As opposed to regular seeds, which grow into fully developed plants that tend to be male or female, with little or no chance to know which sex they are. This makes them easy to manipulate with the desired outcome. When compared to normal cannabis plants which grow into fully developed plants only after they have already sprouted, the feminized seeds are easier to manipulate.
There are many advantages to feminized cannabis seeds. The biggest of these is that these are used for the creation of feminized plants. Autoflowering seeds, which are also commonly known as “dud” seeds, are useless plants which do not produce the desired results and are often discarded without being used. These are discarded because they are unable to perform the way that they were designed and therefore make poor breeding partners. However, with feminized autoflowering seeds, the plants are able to grow towards the intended goals and are better able to perform to their full potential.
Another advantage to using feminized seeds is that they have a higher rate of survival when compared to regular seeds. Regular seeds have a much lower rate of survival and are normally thrown away because they are not able to germinate and grow towards a plant with their desired characteristics. Because they are targeted towards females, they are able to produce the desired traits and grow towards plants with their appropriate chromosomes and characteristics. These qualities and characteristics can only be passed on through the female reproductive system, making the feminized variety much more powerful.
While feminized cannabis seeds have many advantages over regular cannabis seeds, there are some disadvantages as well. Since the feminized buds cannot produce normal sized flowers or seeds, they will not be able to produce the concentrated and potent marijuana crops that many people desire. This means that any significant amount of time and money spent going after a grower will not be rewarded. In order to fully take advantage of the feminization process, it is recommended that all attempts to grow feminized cannabis plants be followed up by regular seeds.
The next factor to consider when choosing between cannabis seeds vs clones is the method of planting. Regular seeds are typically planted into a specially prepared base soil with the intention of making it grow to full height in just a few weeks. Clones are planted directly into the original soil. This makes them more compact and requires less space overall, but they have their drawbacks as well.
One of the major disadvantages to using feminized marijuana seeds is that the potency of the final crop will be very low compared to the potency of regular cannabis seeds. This is because the feminized marijuana seeds were simply developed in a lab from petri-doses of marijuana plants with the hope of increasing the overall plant’s genetics. In short, because the feminized marijuana seeds were in a lab, they did not go through the proper genetic milling procedure that all regular cannabis seeds go through. As a result, the end product will lack some of the desirable traits found in traditional cannabis crops.
Another disadvantage of using feminized cannabis seed is the difficulty involved in growing cannabis plants of all sizes. These plants must be carefully taken care of if they are to achieve anything at all. It is extremely difficult to grow plants of any size without taking extreme measures to ensure the plants are safe. With hybrid seeds, this is easier to do because the plants are genetically programmed to do well with specific amounts of water, light, and nutrients.
In short, hybrid cannabis seed is a viable option for those interested in a high yielding crop, but who are unable to spend the time, money, or resources required to grow conventional marijuana plants. The disadvantage is that these plants are still very much considered a novelty crop by many in the industry. Many cannabis growers in the world see them as over-hyped marijuana conmen preying on innocent buyers. As with all new crops, there will be hybrid seed varieties that become hugely popular only to be abandoned and forgotten within a year or two. Only time will tell if the general public embraces these cannabis seeds and grows large numbers of them.
