How to Crossbreed Regular cannabis Seeds With Nature Intended
Regular cannabis seeds have both female and male seeds in an optimal percentage of 50/50. Any seed that is female will have one half the number of male seeds as well as a half as many females. To determine which is which, the seeds must be grown and germinated in a suitable environment for both sexes (the same can be said for male seedlings too) before they are exposed to light. Once they are exposed to light, they stop being female and start to turn into male. This is when it’s important to know which to get. The more female flowers on a plant, the more male flowers it has.
Some people think that because they are not growing cannabis plants themselves, they are exempt from understanding the true meaning of genetics. This is simply not true. Even in professional grow rooms there are differences between plants that are grown under different conditions, just as there are genetic differences in humans. Just because you are not cultivating cannabis plants yourself doesn’t mean you don’t have any control over your genetics and you should use regular seeds, just as you would if you wanted to ensure that your offspring are regular and healthy.
As mentioned, it’s important to understand that one half of each flower is male and the other half female. This also applies to the other parts of the cannabis plant as well as the seeds. The reason why it’s so important to grow cannabis plants only with male and female flowers is because the feminization process cannot occur without the first and second generation of plants. And since male and female flowers cannot be mixed or changed, the chances of getting a plant with two female flowers is nearly impossible.
The process of feminizing cannabis seeds is called feminization. While many would think this can be done by crossing two male and female plants, this is actually very difficult and very expensive. Instead, most growers make their feminized seeds by mutating them. This can be done in a variety of ways. Some growers start with randomly selecting traits they think will produce a good crop and then they randomly try to cross breed these traits so that they create new strains of cannabis that have those traits.
But other breeders go even further and alter or create entirely new types of marijuana seeds. For example, some breeders may cross breed certain characteristics that exist in their hybrid plants and then introduce those traits into their purebred plants. For instance, some breeders may cross breed their plants so that they have taller growing heights. Others will have their plants grow to have increased amounts of cannula (the stringy stem part on top of the leaves).
It’s also possible to select for certain desired traits when breeding through genetics. For instance, some strains of cannabis have leaves with long stalks, while others are short and stubby. Breeders can cross breed these plants to create new strains that will have desirable traits and produce flowers that are characteristic of that set of traits. In fact, some breeders are able to get their plants to grow in specific ways that will reflect their natural set of genetics.
Of course, no matter how you choose to crossbreed your plants, you must do so with care. Crossbreeding can sometimes backfire. Even though you may have managed to create new, desirable strains of cannabis plants through pure genetics, sometimes nature intended that some of your plants should be short and stubby. If you create a plant with the wrong characteristics, it may not do you any good.
To crossbreed plants successfully, you should only mix female and male plants together if you plan to produce buds. You can mix male and female plants to produce buds, but this will disrupt the process of nature intended for each plant to produce buds. Females, as opposed to males, have a “germinating” period when they are in their flowering state. By crossing a male with a female, you will still get buds, but nature will shut off the germination process and the plant will stop growing and die.
