When you grow plants, you may wonder how you can differentiate between regular seed and feminized seed. Regular seeds are not feminized, but they can still produce good plants. The main difference between regular seed and feminized seed is the way that they reproduce. Regular seeds can produce more than one crop, and are therefore the preferred choice for backcrossing. These seeds can withstand high levels of light, heat, and water stress.
Regular cannabis seeds are the easiest to obtain. Regular seeds are produced by pollinating a mature female cannabis plant with pollen from a male Cannabis plant. The resulting hybrid produces 50% male plants and 50% female plants. Regular cannabis seeds are collected from both male and female plants and can be used for breeding. The male plants are separated to prevent accidental pollen release. Regular seeds are used to create feminised and autoflower plants. These seeds are used to produce 50% male and 50% female plants.
Feminised seeds require more care and effort than regular seeds. Regular seeds will produce a mix of male and female plants. Buying feminized seeds allows you to maximize your resources. The flowering period of cannabis is determined by the seasons and photoperiodism, a developmental response to changes in light and dark periods. For this reason, you can easily spot feminized seed by noticing its feminization marks in the flower.
There are benefits and disadvantages of regular and feminized cannabis seeds. Regular cannabis seeds are easier to grow, easier to care for, and have lower chances of becoming hermaphrodites than feminized ones. Regular seeds also have higher yields than feminized ones. The quality of regular cannabis seeds is important and they should be purchased from a reputable breeder. They also tend to be more resilient and less likely to turn into hermaphrodites.
Female plants produced from regular seeds have higher potency, are more resilient to environmental stress, and are less likely to suffer hermaphroditism. Regular seeds are also more robust, and can withstand the stress of growing in a climate where the weather is unpredictable. While feminized seeds have a higher yield, regular seeds have more options and generate more variety. Using regular seeds allows a more diverse selection and specialized growers to create strains that will not have the same effects as feminized seeds.
If you’re a breeder, regular cannabis seeds are the best option. Regular seeds produce male plants, and feminized seeds don’t have that problem. Regular seeds are cheaper, and feminized ones can’t be sold as 100% female. That’s because they contain a lot of male genes. But that doesn’t mean they’re bad for breeding. They just won’t produce male plants. They also produce ideal yields.
Regular cannabis seeds are a genetic lottery. The end result can be male or female. It may take a few tries to breed a male plant from a female plant, but the end result is well worth the effort. If you’re planning on breeding, it’s best to sex your plants. While sexing is a bit of a pain, it will give you a higher yield of potent buds.
When backcrossing, you want a stable parent with good genetics. That way, you’ll end up with a stable seed variety. The same applies to regular breeding. Generally, the more stable parent will produce more stable offspring. Backcrossing is a good way to select certain traits and fix others. Using S2 or S3 seeds, for example, will produce more stable offspring than their regular counterparts. For example, the Philosopher Seeds varieties S.A.D. and Trainweck were backcrossed.
