Genetics Of cannabis Seeds
Regular seeds may well be the conventional standard cannabis plant seed; but they provide growers with a lot of potential for experimenting. The reason they’re called regular seeds is that they behave like nature intended and haven’t been through any kind of genetic engineering to make the cultivation process any different than it normally would. Their structure is also highly adaptable, which allows for a high degree of control over the resulting plant material.
Indica and Sativa plants are a lot more popular for growing indoors because they’re easier to cultivate than Indicas. Indicas are the traditional crop used by many gardeners worldwide, although there are hybrid Sativa plants that are easier to grow too. The hybrid Sativa is likely to be much harder to cultivate and produce better quality marijuana than the Indica. In order to ensure the best quality indoor crops you can get, it’s best to go with the Indica as the seed for indoor cultivation.
All cannabis crops are Sativa and Indica, but because each type has its own characteristics that make them unique, the results you get when you cultivate them is going to be completely dependent on the strain you choose. Indica is the strongest and most resilient of the two; therefore it’s an obvious choice for indoor growers. It also produces the most concentrated and potent end product.
When it comes to cultivating these two popular indoor plants, differences between regular seed Sativa and indica crops arise fairly early on. Sativa plants tend to produce large amounts of “flower buds” which result in small and large amounts of buds (pot buds) that produce small amounts of leaves. Indica plants on the other hand grow only one bud at a time and end up with several small leaf buds and one large leaf. The result is that the number of buds that have been produced is significantly smaller compared to that of Sativa plants.
The most noticeable difference between regular seeds and indica seeds is the amount of time they take to mature. Indica seeds require more time between flowering and producing large amounts of buds. It takes around three weeks for one Indica flower bud to bloom while it takes two weeks for regular seeds to bloom. This time difference is because of the way the plants react to the timing of the barley and wheat menstrual cycles. When it comes to barley and wheat, these crops are dormant during the months of January to March and bloom during April to June. However, the flowering period of Indica plants is generally longer because of their ability to grow more Indica seeds in one growing season as opposed to the shorter flowering period of Sativa seeds.
The flowering periods of Indicas differ from the regular seeds because of the way they react to environmental factors and male-female differences. Indica plants are able to produce a lot more buds per plant due to their greater water use efficiency. It takes only six months for half of the normal time needed for barley and wheat production, while it takes nine months for full production of regular seeds. This is because feminized varieties have had the chance to be enriched through crossbreeding with other high yielding strains.
Feminized marijuana seeds have had their feminization process altered slightly through genetic engineering. Because marijuana is such a delicate plant to begin with, genetics play such a vital role in ensuring that only high quality specimens will emerge. When marijuana seeds are feminized, the growers are able to increase the number of times that the plants reproduce per year. This allows the marijuana grower to control the overall yield and quality of the final crop.
In order to understand the genetics of cannabis seeds, it is important to examine closely the different types of genetic combinations used to create each variety. One of the most common methods used is that used by farmers to create specific types of crops that can be grown to be specific heights or weights. A great example of this is the creation of hybrid varieties that have 50% of one parent breed and half of the other parent breeds. This is then multiplied throughout the plant’s genetics line to ensure that the crops produce only the desired results. Other types of mutations that can be found within the genetics of cannabis seeds include traits that affect the rate of growth or slow regenerating abilities, as well as the plant’s tolerance to adverse weather conditions.
