Marijuana Breeders: How To Find The Best Marijuana Seeds
Regular marijuana seeds are grown from a male and female counterpart plant and are chemically altered and 100% pure. They are by far some of the highest quality genetics available on the planet and produce about fifty percent males and fifty percent female offspring. The actual act of creating marijuana seeds is by no means difficult, but requires patience and a lot of devotion to make the plants grow and bloom. The process of breeding marijuana seeds is much more complicated and challenging than it sounds but as long as you follow the instructions closely, you should be fine.
There are two main ways to create regular marijuana seeds. Either through crossing one specific species with another or producing plants that have one specific set of chromosomes (X or Y). Crosses between male plants will produce female plants, and crosses between female plants will produce male plants. If you want to produce female plants, cross a male with a female.
When it comes to cross-breeding, it can be difficult because it can be extremely difficult to tell which strain is the male or the female. Many people will tell you that only a certain variety of cannabis has a higher potency than others, which is completely wrong. The truth is that genetics play an important role in the potency of any given strain. Crossbreeding to produce feminized seeds can produce feminized plants, but it’s just as hard to separate the two. It’s been said that some strains are so extreme in their feminization that it could take over ten years before a person actually grows a plant and has it harvested.
If you plan on breeding your regular marijuana seeds, you need to ensure that you are growing all pure lines. Some hybrid varieties will cross-breed with other varieties, so it’s not impossible to end up with feminized seeds. But regular seeds can’t always tell a different story. It would take at least a year for crossbreeding to produce a product worthy of selling. If you’re going to order feminized seeds, make sure that you are getting every order from every variety available, to insure that you get consistent results.
To cross-breed your plants, you have to collect seeds from both male and female plants before the flowering stage. Harvest the seeds immediately after flowering; if you wait longer, the potency of the females will surpass that of the males. Then, collect the seeds from the flowering stage for storage.
Some people use colloidal silver as a way to cross-breed their plants. Silver, when introduced into the female plants during the flowering stage, helps make the plants grow taller and keep the structure stable. After the flowering is complete, you can harvest the silver-treated plants to be used for seed dispersal or cooking. When purchasing feminized seeds, make sure that you purchase those that have been treated with colloidal silver. The last step is to prepare the feminized marijuana seeds by soaking them overnight in water in which one half ounce of diluted hydrogen peroxide has been added.
If you want to create a sexually reproducing strain of marijuana plant, known as a hermaphrodite, it is possible to do so with an ancient technique called tissue culture. This technique allows the creation of living organisms from cell cultures, such as the basis for creating the hermaphrodite strain. Although there is no way to guarantee that your new hermaphrodite plant will have fertile, growing conditions, the technique still exists, and it has been used to create marijuana plants with the desired traits.
Marijuana breeders can also help you find regular seeds that may have not been crossbred. Breeders can save you valuable money if they can help you save a bit on the costs of purchasing seeds. Many times, seeds can be purchased from seed banks for ten to fifty percent less than you would pay at the local garden store. Marijuana breeders are a necessary resource for many beginning growers.
