The potential seed-saving capability latent in un-seed marijuana seeds is certainly something to think about when aiming your future drugstore future with pot. Potency is key, as with any drugstore brand. But just because we are talking about potency here, we aren’t discussing some potent 40-something Ibuprofen you can pop in a pill and suddenly lose your mind. That is an exaggeration and is rather silly on some levels. What we mean by some level is the ability to grow your own marijuana plants from some marijuana seeds, rather than having to buy some expensive starter kits.
Why? Well, it seems that it is quite possible to make your own plants from regular marijuana seeds, and I have even seen instructions online for making plants from regular seeds and some feminized stuff. And believe me, it IS possible. With a stash of regular seeds in your house, you can experiment and see what you can create. It’s also quite fun experimenting with feminized plants… although I have never tried it myself!
If we go back to the original point, the whole point of starting out with a few seeds of cannabis plants is so that you can grow them into a crop that you can sell off, maybe even make some money off of them. You can experiment with different marijuana strains and create a crop that is better suited to your climate and tastes. Of course, there is nothing stopping you from keeping the original cannabis plant all your life and selling it off if you want. The most important thing is that you are able to start off with something… and it’s always better to start off with something simple.
But you have to ask yourself, if you are going to go through the trouble of getting regular marijuana seeds and trying out different things, are you willing to risk some of the genetics? I’m not just talking about the genetics behind your plant, but about the genetics behind the variety of cannabis plants that you have. We’re talking about an assortment of strains from the Medicated Plants like Lemon Drops, Cheese, and others. These varieties all come from a very common strain of cannabis plants that only produces one or two characteristics, such as a higher CBD level (or less THC, the active ingredient in marijuana) and more lipids (or fat globules).
There have been many studies done on the subject of cannabis plant and it turns out that it all starts with regular marijuana seeds. It all starts with one parent plant and as it develops it will duplicate its own traits and those of its offspring. All the variations that result are those of the original one and NOT the offspring, as are shown in the case of the male weeds. Male weeds don’t produce any oil and so they don’t contribute anything to the marijuana cycle, they are by default sterile and their existence simply means that the plants that contain these male weeds are much more rare than the normal plants.
When it comes to the feminized marijuana seeds, this is where things get complicated. In order for these to even come about you must get the breeding process correct and it isn’t easy to do. It is estimated that over the years several thousand new types of feminized plants have come into existence and all but a few of them are simply spectacular! But the truth is that if you really want to grow feminized plants you’ll either have to grow them from regular marijuana seeds OR buy some sort of feminized autoflower seed.
Now when it comes to buying feminized marijuana seeds, you have a few choices. You can buy them from specialized companies who grow their cannabis plants in a dedicated and controlled environment. This means that all the watering, planting and general care is taken care of by the growers themselves and so they are only interested in producing quality plants. They also ensure that the seeds are actually used as they were intended because even one kind can have an undesirable outcome. Some common consequences of using un-sexed seeds include high potency, low yield and limited shelf life.
If you’re looking for feminized cannabis seeds then you should know that the best way to go is to go to a specialized supplier. These suppliers are usually established and experienced growers looking to sell you their feminized seedlings. They grow high quality cannabis plants and their intentions are clear. If you deal with them you will be getting the best and the sexiest plants possible. Just make sure you check the seeds for any undesirable traits and don’t settle for the first one you see!
