Regular cannabis seeds, also known as Indica or Jamaican Blue, are highly desired. These beautiful plants grow well and are the most desired type of cannabis seed out there. However, with so many options to choose from, how do you know which type is right for you? Here is a guide to help you choose the best types of cannabis seeds on the market today.
Regular cannabis seeds come from both female and male plants. The females (dips) are more popular than the males (tops). While some top quality strains are hybrids, they are rare and hard to find. They are completely natural, bred from only male and female parents, and create about half male and half female offspring. Despite the popularity of feminized regular cannabis seeds, most breeders still offer male-only plants.
Since the flowers on these plants can be so stunningly beautiful, many people choose to grow them as a hobby. When grown from feminized seeds, however, you get the flowers without having to put in the time and effort to feminize the plants yourself. Just because they are ‘identical’ doesn’t mean they all come in equal quality. Some buds turn out thicker and darker and some don’t do so at all. So be careful when choosing your feminized seeds and remember that each one will result in a different plant!
Contrary to popular belief, there is no scientific reason why the female counterparts do not perform as well as the males. Many top breeders and experts agree that the females are just as good as the males when it comes to high yield, aroma and stability. Since the flowers are so stunningly beautiful, most people choose to grow them because of their looks rather than their performance.
Most marijuana enthusiasts grow marijuana with regular seeds. While feminized cannabis seeds tend to come with a stronger, more potent strain, some people choose to start with the regular seeds to get a feel for the difference. This way they can then move onto the stronger and feminized strains when they are ready. However, it is not uncommon for regular cannabis seeds to be extremely good when it comes to producing flowers and trimming, but not quite as good at producing stems and leaves.
In addition to the strength and taste of your crop, you also need to take note of its potency. Since regular cannabis seeds contain a small percentage of marijuana strain phenotypes, breeding for potency is very easy. All you really have to do is make sure that the plants you take out of the veggie or plant are actually regular cannabis seeds. Otherwise, you could end up with some strange looking plants.
When it comes to growing cannabis with regular seeds, there is also the matter of autoflowering. Many people don’t realize that autoflowering is necessary when growing cannabis with regular seeds. Autoflowering simply means that the mother plant will produce more stem material if the mother plant is under stress. Stress can occur for a number of reasons, such as high temperatures or intense lighting. There are also rare instances where plants can become stressed by low light, which results in them producing large amounts of deformed stems.
There are many different reasons why you might want to consider breeding your own marijuana with regular seeds. Perhaps you want to create a cross between two strains that are very strong, and you want to create a super weed. Perhaps you’re into making your own super strain. The best way to figure out what type of strain to produce is to experiment. Try a little trial and error and see what kinds of results you get. But most importantly, remember to get as much information as possible before investing in any kind of breeding.
