Regular marijuana seeds can be found in many locations, such as your backyard garden. But what if you don’t live in a garden? There are plenty of regular marijuana seeds out there, that can be purchased from an online source. Here’s a look at how these marijuana seeds work.
Marijuana seeds that are used for breeding purposes have been found to contain little, if any, genetic alteration from natural marijuana plants. 100% chemical and un-altered, regular marijuana seeds would be bred from only a male and female counterpart and can therefore produce either male or female offspring. Additionally, they are also some of the most pure genetics on the market and produce up to 50% female and male offspring. This is due to the fact that many of the strains developed during breeding for other purposes have had previous owners mutate the plants and end up with feminized seeds.
Hermaphroditic marijuana plant mutations occur when pollen from a plant is collected and used in creating new marijuana plants. In this manner, the original plant mutation is changed, and the new plant relies on its own genetics. Since the collection of pollen from only one source increases the likelihood of a successful hermaphroditic marijuana plant mutation, it is widely used in breeding efforts. However, it should be noted that all forms of feminization must begin from scratch and may take several years to fully develop.
Some of the different classes of feminized seeds include: Indica, Sativa, and Succulent. All three have their own characteristics and use, as well as varying proportions of one or more of their classes. An Indica marijuana seed will flower and grow first; it is believed to be from a true Indica plant. Sativa plants will flower first, then the Sativa plants will follow.
Many times, the easiest way to feminize a plant is to collect a pollen sample from two plants that are similar in type or flower. After collecting the samples, the researchers will isolate the feminized pollen and process it. To achieve a complete feminization, the amount of feminized pollen must be greater than or equal to half of the male plant‘s pollen. The remaining half is the control seed, which still contains the male genes but has no feminized seeds. This is the type of hybrid marijuana most often grown by many seedless cannabis growers. These growers must use special procedures to prevent cross-pollination, which will cause both male and female plants to have the altered seed.
Autoflowering seeds are not completely dependent on the type of marijuana they are developed for, so they can be grown for any type of plant. The most common autoflowering seeds are used to create many types of hybrid plants, including the popular California poppy and the hotbed variety of Jamaican Blueberry. These plants also come in many different colors, depending on their location in the garden. They can be harvested frequently to help ensure that the plants produce fresh, high-quality seeds every year.
The process of collecting and breeding autoflowering seeds can take many years, especially if it is a new type of hybrid plant that has yet to attract buyers. Many growers prefer to spend the time necessary to germinate these plants in order to produce a quality crop each year. Many marijuana enthusiasts choose to purchase a fully feminized seed set, which means that they will need to wait for flowering season each year in order to obtain high-quality plants each time they grow a new crop.
Many new hybrid varieties of cannabis plants are being developed every year. If you are an avid gardener, it may be almost impossible to keep up with the new additions to the herb. Growers often collect seeds that have proven to be difficult to grow, or even female plants that have not produced a sufficient number of viable seeds in the past. These are then crossbred with male plants in order to create new, improved crops. To assist in germination of female flowers, collect a full bloom of autoflowering seeds from reputable sources and then use them to crossbreed the plant with male flowers in order to produce the most desirable crops.
