In its most natural state, the cannabis plant is monosymmetric, which is, there exist only male and females specimens which breed together to produce new offspring. Regular seeds are the seeds that create both male and female plants, as the grower does not have any control over which gender they grow. It is this reproductive aspect of the cannabis plant that has led to its classification as the cannabis sativa plant.
The drawbacks to growing cannabis seeds are that it can take a significant amount of time to cultivate and mature, which limits the potential market for these types of strains among many conventional medical marijuana users. However, with the various advances in technology and in agricultural science, more varieties of the cannabis sativa plant are being bred to make way for newer strains.
Some of these newer strains of the cannabis sativa plant include hybrid or cross-sexed plants and are commonly referred to as females, while males of the same species are called cross-sexed. These new varieties often contain a greater percentage of female characteristics than the original plant, and this is why they are often referred to as hybrid strains.
Cross-sexed plants are generally thought to be more attractive, and they can be grown on any type of soil. They usually require a little bit more care, however, so should be considered carefully when purchasing seeds. The advantages of crossing the cannabis sativa plant with another type of plant are that you can often obtain the exact characteristics of both plants in one plant.
Cross-sexed plants are often more successful and can be grown on an even soil. Cross-sexed plants also have higher chances of producing a high yield of plants compared to regular seedlings.
In most cases, cross-sexed plants will lack male characteristics. This can be an asset in certain situations, however, if the female characteristics of the cannabis plant are known. This makes them easier to deal with, and they allow for experimentation with other combinations of the cannabis sativa plant.
Cross-sexed plants are often better suited for the home gardener and can be grown by growing just the female side of the plant. Some strains of the cannabis sativa plant are cross-sexed so that the female flowers have some female characteristics on them, and the male flowers have some male characteristics on them. This makes them easier to grow, as the female flowers require less care and maintenance.
Cross-sexed cannabis plants are also much easier to grow, and grow well in climates that experience long periods of heat or colder temperatures, such as Alaska. Most people are familiar with the hybrid form of the cannabis sativa plant and its use for marijuana.
Cross-sexed strains of the cannabis sativa plant are normally much easier to maintain. Because they are not cross-sexed, each female flower will have its own male characteristics. When cross-sexed, there is just a single male flower, which is then used to produce the seed.
Regular seeds are considered to be of a lower quality. They will be much cheaper than the cross-sexed variety. Because the cross-sexed plants will only produce seed once, you can get the maximum amount of seed from a single plant.
Cross-sexed seeds are usually more expensive because they are not as easy to grow. Although the male flower of each plant produces seed, it will require a minimum amount of time to mature into a true cross-sexed flower. Cross-sexed plants are more expensive but are usually more rewarding, as they are more likely to produce a large amount of flowers than regular seedlings. You will be able to harvest an unlimited amount of plants from one female plant, while only having to take care of a single male flower.
Regular seeds are the best option if you want to harvest a high number of plants from a single plant, but want to grow them in the same environment. Cross-sexed plants are less desirable because they are more difficult to grow, and because you can often get the full potential of one plant. If you are interested in harvesting a large number of buds, however, a cross-sexed plant is not advisable.
