Regular seeds are produced when an immature male cannabis plant has pollinated a mature female cannabis plant. Male pollen is typically released by ripe leaves and blown by the strong wind (sometimes by a careful hand of a grower). While the majority of marijuana plants pollinate by means of blooming buds found on flowering stems and leaves, some forms of the cannabis plant also bloom from underground stems. The flower buds found on most flowering plants will contain large amounts of pollen that is collected by the gardener as this pollen acts as food for birds and other insects. However, unlike in other plants, the pollen found in cannabis seeds do not dissolve easily and can remain solid for quite some time, often longer than ten days. This period of solid pollen can then be consumed by anyone who ingests it or who comes into direct contact with the bud.
Growers producing regular cannabis seeds need to ensure that they use only high quality products in order to produce consistent crops. In order to control the quality and purity of their product, marijuana breeders go through meticulous research. Different strains of the cannabis plant are crossbred in order to get desirable results, which often depend on the desired result of the “phenotype”. Some of the most desirable strains are called “hybrid”, because they combine the desirable characteristics of one or more of the main strains while inheriting the less desirable characteristics of any one of those main strains.
In order to achieve consistent high-quality results, many breeders go through extensive breeding sessions. Some of the most popular cannabis strains used in breeding experiments include Hyoscyamus, Indica, andensis. The hybrid strains are created when two specific and similar strains are crossed in order to produce a new and desirable product. It has become increasingly popular for breeders to cross two Indica strains to create the cannabis strain with the ability to produce highly-potency smoke. Hyoscyamus, on the other hand, is a hybrid between two hybrid Arabica strains to create a highly-effective weed. The new hybrid strains are extremely useful for medical marijuana growers who want to produce a high-grade product for medical purposes, yet produce high-quality buds that are highly-resistant to adverse environmental conditions.
Regular cannabis seeds available for purchase contain the desirable traits of Indica and Hyoscyamus, making it easy for consumers to breed their own crops. There are differences between regular seeds and feminized seeds, however. Feminized seeds contain only the female counterpart of the plant, so when you buy a hybrid, you’re buying a plant that hasn’t been crossbred with another plant of the same type. Crossbreeding between two plants of the same type can cause drastic changes in the makeup of the plant, resulting in the introduction of unexpected recessive traits.
By crossbreeding a regular cannabis seed with another plant, however, you can introduce both traits. This makes it possible to produce crops that are both highly-resistance to adverse conditions and highly-grown. Hybrids contain specific genes that allow them to be more susceptible to frost, dryness and insects. On the other hand, the traits that make hybrids stand out are their resistance to bugs and weed infestations, their large amount of open space for air and water, and their resistance to drought. In addition to the ability to produce flowers, some of these plants can even grow outdoors on a regular basis, producing pollen that’s collected by the farmers and gardeners around the world.
While you can buy feminized cannabis seeds from local breeders or retailers, you’re probably best off breeding your crop yourself. Creating a highly productive and attractive crop by crossbreeding your regular seeds with others of a similar strain would take time and resources that most farmers don’t have. In addition, farmers with deep gene pools tend to be much more successful than amateurs at creating new strains that can produce extraordinary results. By investing in your own private breeding efforts, you can ensure that you’ll always have an option should the time arise to crossbreed with another source.
When it comes to breeding regular cannabis seeds, the first step is finding a reputable breeder. There are many breeders out there, but a few high quality breeders are well worth considering. Breeders can provide you with a wide array of options, allowing you to easily focus on making sure your regular cannabis seeds produce exactly what you want. For instance, some growers specialize in producing feminized seeds, creating crops that are specifically suited to your plant needs and climate. Others can also provide you with a wide array of regular varieties that are crossbred to create new and unique traits. When you find a reputable breeder, it will take some work to find out if they’ve successfully bred a desirable trait into a high quality cannabis crop, but the effort will pay off in the end.
Crossbreeding is a great way to create crops with excellent traits, whether it is a higher potency or different colors. The more that you can customize your plants with regular cannabis seeds the better your chances for success. This will allow you to fully enjoy the benefits of growing a high quality cannabis plant from a small collection of seeds that you’ve bought and prepared yourself. Make sure to do your research and pick carefully, and your effort to crossbreed your own cannabis seeds will pay off in the form of a unique, top-quality product that you can grow solely from your own hard work.
