Regular marijuana seeds are some of the most powerful marijuana seeds on the market today. Regular cannabis seeds are the end result of careful, selective breeding by professional growers who understand what type of plants thrive in the climate and environment of their home garden. When you purchase regular marijuana seeds from a reputable source like Earthaven Genetics you’re getting nothing but natural, pure genetics from elite breeders. It’s important to remember though that genetics have everything to do with everything, including the plant that we now call “pot”, and all living things on this planet. So why would anyone want genetics over nature?
For one thing it allows us to produce more flowers with every generation. It doesn’t matter how large the plant is if you don’t know how to get the right combination of male and female plants to produce the results you’re looking for. With regular marijuana seeds male and female plants can be crossbred to produce hundreds of different types of flowers in just a few years.
Crossbreeding is common and happens all over the world, marijuana even has its own term for it – crossbreeding. The idea is that some genes from one parent can be transferred to the offspring (both male and female plants) without any change to the main plant. That’s why regular marijuana seeds are so valuable. Any crossbreeding that occurs can increase the chance that two plants will produce the same or similar flower, or different, depending upon which parent brought the trait. Some specific examples are that if one parent produces blue flowers and another parent produces red flowers; both of the plants can share the blue flowers but the red flower will be completely unique.
Crossbreeding is very common in indoor gardens. For instance if you wanted to make a cross between a high producing sativa strain and a high producing indica strain you could do so with regular marijuana seeds. Of course you would need to do more than crossbreeding the plants; you would also need to make sure they were identical in height, mature size and flavor. This means they should have about the same number of buds per unit of plant as well as roughly similar growing conditions. For instance a Mexican Sativa should have a similar soil, fertilizer and watering instructions as an English Ivy.
Of course some people want to crossbreed not only to get two plants that will grow well together but to create new strains of marijuana that are better suited for certain situations. In this case you will need to find autoflowering seed packets, unless you can crossbreed your regular cannabis seeds with another variety that has been crossbred. You may need to buy some autoflowering supplies if your goal is to start an indoor garden. If you have a greenhouse then you can simply buy some regular seeds that will germinate indoors and plant them in your greenhouse.
Some people prefer to use feminized seeds to create new strains of cannabis. These growers simply use regular marijuana seeds, process them and sprinkle feminized seeds over the top of them. The procedure works by soaking the marijuana in water overnight and then letting it sit in a culture for the following morning. At that point all the excess water has been removed. When the grower prepares to harvest the crop she uses a needle to remove the feminized seed pod and the plant starts growing again.
Some people choose to start their own breeding business. This allows them to offer a wider selection of quality and genetics. However, if you have seed just lying around, like any other farmers, you can sort it out. You could put it into a sack and sell it on eBay or set up a website selling un-sexed marijuana seeds. Some of the seeds from old hybrid cannabis plants make really good fertilizer so you could sell that as well.
The biggest problem with un-sexed marijuana seeds is that they are not viable. The chances of those plants producing a viable fetus are slim to none. You could, however, find ways to get around that issue. Perhaps a female cannabis seed can be transferred to a male offspring, but this may take a lot of genetic tinkering. Either way, it is another story and we’ll leave it for you to decide if you want to try that route.
