Regular seed is best suited to be used for personal consumption. Regular seed is completely natural and completely pure, making it ideal for personal use. Regular seed comes from only one species of cannabis plant, which means that it contains all of the benefits and no unwanted surprises. Feminized seeds, on the other hand, are artificial seeds taken from cannabis plants treated using special hydroponic techniques.
There are two major methods used to feminize plants. These are by conventional breeding and hydroponics. Hydroponics is a modern technique that combines soil and air for the cultivation of small, healthy plants at very high yields. Cultivation requires large amounts of land to produce high-quality crops. The main benefit of cultivating with hydroponics is that it produces a larger quantity of flowers with a shorter time span than traditional crop growth. It also allows for the selective planting of different strains so that each variety can be harvested as needed, producing healthier and more flavorful cannabis.
Many people consider hydroponics to be very easy. However, it still takes a substantial amount of knowledge and skill to be successful. Most experienced cannabis farmers invest significant amounts of money in growing and maintaining their plants. This investment pays off in the form of a high quality product that is sold for premium prices.
Cultivators should keep in mind that there are two main factors that affect the production of feminized cannabis seeds. The environment and the timing and type of lighting provided to the female plants play an important role. Certain environmental conditions, such as exposure to moisture and shade, have a direct impact on the development of male plants compared to females. On the other hand, too much or too little light affects the flowering of the female plants. Hydroponics growers should take note that a proper balance between too much light and not enough can affect the quality of the end result.
Aside from the environment and the growing period, another factor that affects the quality of feminized cannabis seeds is the time and temperature it’s exposed to. Most growers prefer regular seed because they can control the temperature and humidity of the environment. This is especially critical during the flowering stage where some plants produce an intense fragrance during this crucial stage. However, most experts recommend hybrid varieties because they adapt more easily to the growing conditions and can also handle extreme weather conditions.
Although most feminized seeds contain identical structure as regular seed, there are some differences with regards to their chemical makeup. Some contain more enzymes and amino acids, while others contain less. The types of enzymes found in feminized seeds can help keep the female flowers pollen-free. Different strains produce varying amounts of pollen. This makes it important for growers to know which plants to produce more pollen so that they can choose plants with high pollen counts.
When purchasing feminized cannabis seeds, it’s important to check the package to ensure that it is a purebred variety. Most seed packages carry a USDA seal to confirm that the marijuana plant is a true product of America. USDA seals are used because the plants were grown on private property without the government’s assistance. There are several varieties of the cannabis plant available and the traits of each vary according to growing requirements, climate and harvesting time.
Regular seed varieties are more costly than feminized seed. Some growers do not use feminized strains but instead focus on producing clones using regular seeds. Clones can also be useful for indoor cultivation, although breeding for this purpose is not recommended unless you’re a fully trained and experienced grower. If you’re looking to grow high quality cannabis with minimal effort then growing clones is the best option.
