When you think of marijuana, regular seed as well as indica and sativa are some of the first things that come to your mind. But there is another class of cannabis plants that are better known than the others. Regular seed can be grown very easily and is ideal for indoor growing. While on one hand, regular seed can be used for indoor gardening, on the other, it can also be used for outdoor growing. And the best part is that you can even combine indoor and outdoor growing to increase your yield.
Regular seed can be grown by using hydroponics and is considered as one of the easiest techniques in hydroponic gardening. When planted, regular cannabis seeds will produce female or male plants that is found only during flowering. Hence, growing regular cannabis seeds can appear a little tedious as growers usually prefer to take male plants away from the pot when the flowering phase starts and would prefer to keep female plants to produce more buds during the later part of the year. And when you consider that the time needed for harvest is also quite less compared to Indicas and Sativas, the yield that is produced is more reliable.
On the other hand, there is another option you have, auto-flowering plant. This is different from regular cannabis seeds because in this technique the plant automatically starts growing even if no sexual flowers happen during the growing period. For instance, the auto-flowering plant can be an Aloe, Penny, Ligustrum and even Sedum. All these plants can be used to make the desired psychoactive tea that you would drink.
The biggest advantage with the auto-flowering plant is that it can produce regular seed all throughout the year and the harvest is consistent, therefore allowing you to save money on the crops you would normally get from seeds. It is also a convenient method to use, especially if you are able to grow a large variety of crops. With regular seed, you cannot guarantee that the crop will always be in the same condition. And if there is a chance of one crop becoming more potent than the rest, you will just have to replant the seeds from a new location. But with auto-flowering, since the plant will start growing irrespective of the conditions, there is a much lower possibility of that.
Auto-flowering cannabis plants also have a lot of advantages, but one of the major issues with this type of technique is that the quality of the final product will depend on the genetic integrity of the plant. And if the plant is not well suited to the growing conditions, it may not end up as desirable result. There is always a chance that some seeds may end up to be defective. Hence, it is best to choose one of the many reputable breeders who provide feminized seeds. This way, the final output will be good and consistent even if it takes a longer time for the plant to grow and mature fully.
In fact, you can save a lot of money if you opt to purchase regular seeds as opposed to feminized seeds. Regular seeds are commonly available in bulk form. You can easily save a lot of money if you grow your own crop with regular ones instead of spending on seeds which can be purchased from a dealer. Plus, feminized seeds are often more expensive compared to regular ones.
It is important to note that all feminized seeds are not created equal. Some plants might have higher tolerance towards the environment and weather conditions compared to others. Hence, you need to carefully look at the plant’s DNA in order to ensure that the final product is a high quality one. Fortunately, most vendors today stock feminized seeds which are made using quality genetics that are proven to withstand any weather condition and grow well even in difficult growing environments.
Even though it is a little bit more expensive, growing your own cannabis with feminized seeds offers you the chance to enjoy a better quality crop every single time. The reason why it is considered as an effective way of avoiding high cost crops grown by regular seed is because you do not have to buy expensive seeds when you can simply save up and use them for future planting. With these simple tips, you will be able to enjoy a bigger reward from your plant every single growing season.
