Feminized Seeds (X Critical)

There are many varieties of cannabis seeds and each one can make a difference to your successful cultivation of Marijuana. When growing your own marijuana plants from seed, it’s always best to start with the best quality seed that you can afford. It doesn’t matter if it costs a little more than the next variety, a lot can be learned from the quality of seed that you choose.

In this limited edition seed category you will discover all the elite breeds of cannabis that are currently available from seed banks like Eva Seeds or Ripper Seeds. If you’re a serious grower looking for different powerful cannabis strains, this would be the section for you: elite, exclusive strains only available through seed banks. These strains are the result of careful breeding, and every single time a strain is crossed with another it creates a new elite hybrid. For instance, you may have seen x red and x black crossed, these are two of the highest quality strains currently available.

Next in our list are feminized genetics. These elite strains are the result of extensive breeding to create feminized plants. To produce feminized plants, asexually correct chromosomes are crossed with randomly chosen non-automated chromosomes – in this case, x professor and x f2 dominant. Popular examples of feminized genetics are Skunk Asexually Correct (Sacha), Queen Anne Shasta, Eva (from Eva Seeds or Ripper Seeds), and Kudzu.

Third are male-formative plants. These rarest of breeds have a set number of chromosomes that determine whether the plant is male or female. These include X male plants, X female plants, and X critters. To cross a male with a female and end up with the third type of cross, an additional chromosome is needed, usually chromosome number 13.

The last group on our list are reproductive flowers that cross both genders. Flowering Aroids are a good example here, since they contain both asex and non-asex chromosomes, resulting in a plant with both male and female traits. Some examples of flower pollen that contains X chromosomes are Apis Mellifera, and Aster Serrata. Most flowering aroids and some non-flowering flowers such as Hymenocera, also contain non-asex chromosomes that only effect sexual differentiation.

While the above mentioned groups all fall under the classification of feminized seeds, there exist several sub-sets of feminized cannabis seeds. In addition to the three previously mentioned groups, there are also assortments that cross various strains. Assortments like X critters, X male plants, and X feminized plants are only found in certain feminized cannabis strains. These assortments are cross-bred between male and female plants to create new combinations that only produce X chromosomes. Crossbreeding can sometimes increase the yield of feminized cannabis seeds, but also greatly decrease their overall potency.

Crossbreeding for the most efficient results may be best achieved by starting out with a crossbrood that has already produced excellent results. Examples include indica, barley grass, chives, kush, and blueberry. By carefully selecting the best crosses between the desired traits, the best results can then be achieved. As an example, feminized seeds (X) that contain X critical characters, can often only be obtained through crossbreeding with another plant with less X critical character defects.

X critters are plants with no evident XX chromosomes. In order to crossbreed these plants, one would need to make a colony of X plants with an outstanding progeny. This can easily be accomplished by making a colony of plants with X critters and then crossing them with female plants bearing the desired feminized trait. The result is a fully feminized plant bearing all the desired traits at the highest level.
