How to Collect Regular Seed
The regular seed has become more popular than ever in the last decade or so. This is due to a number of reasons. It’s cheap. No preparation has to be done. The crop is guaranteed to grow.
Regular seed should yield a therial percentage of female plants and male plants. This will vary depending upon luck and other variables. Most times, the ratio will be 4 6 male plants for every ten germinating seeds. The high-quality, good-looking buds that you see when you do a search on marijuana seeds should have about a one-to-one ratio of female and male plants.
There are two types of marijuana genetics; sativa and indica. Many growers believe that white widow and regular seeds are the same; it’s just the way the marijuana plant looks that makes them different. In reality, the white widow is a hybrid between indica and sativa, not regular seeds. Thus, the potency of regular seeds will likely be lower than that of indica or sativa.
When it comes to breeding for high-end cannabis, regular seeds are what you need. There are many variables that affect this type of breeding. Genetics and weather patterns are important factors. A few factors that make regular seeds more profitable include:
Longevity is also key. Longer-leaf plants tend to produce more and higher-quality buds. This means that the female plant must be much older than her male counterpart to produce large amounts of leaves, which makes for large buds. The male plant will produce more pollen as well, but he won’t have the advantage of longevity. Longevity results in higher quality buds because of higher pollen production rates.
Pollen stability is another factor. In general, you want to get the most stable pollen possible. Make sure to go with seeds that are at least 12 weeks old if you want to start seeing differences in buds. Also, power plants that are male produce more pollen than females, so if your main cannabis seed is male and you use a female plant, you may actually wind up with less potency than you started with. This is why it’s important to note that the amount of pollen in the cannabis pollen sacs can make a difference in potency.
One thing you can do to increase the odds of feminized seeds producing feminized offspring is to let your plants to grow to their full height. Some experts say you should allow your plants to bloom for a year before you begin collecting pollen. This way, all of the potential offspring that your plants could produce have a chance to develop and mature. Of course, this is not true for all plants, but it will certainly help your plants if you do allow them to mature for a year first. Another great reason to let your cannabis plants grow up to their full height before collecting pollen is because this will also give your plants some time to acclimate to the outside environment before gathering too much pollen for the purposes of making cannabis.
If you would like to get some feminized cannabis genetics seeds, the best way to collect them is from tall tolerant hybrid plants that tend to produce two distinct types of flowers. Some examples of these plants include Saint Paul, Black Beauty, Blue Star, Lemon Menthol, Giantica, and many others. All of these plants tend to flower on different days and are known as landraces. Landraces are plants that are known for their resistance to insects and diseases. These traits make them an excellent choice for collecting and breeding your own feminized crops. Keep in mind that the traits for these plants come from their parents, which means if one of your parents starts flowering, all of your offspring will start flowering too.
