So, you’re looking to buy regular cannabis seeds. You’ve been hearing about the new strains and you want to help yourself grow better. But what kind of quality do you need? What’s the difference between feminized seeds and regular marijuana seeds? Here are some things to keep in mind when you’re buying your marijuana seeds.
First of all, it’s important that you buy regular cannabis seeds from a reliable source. If you buy your seeds online, you’re up against many middlemen and shady resellers. To ensure that you get quality, you’ll need to buy from a local retailer.
To buy regular cannabis seeds and start growing, you first need to have a few options. There are two different types of cannabis, Indica and Sativa. Indicas are most popular and the ones you usually see with the green and gold “belly” (THC). On the other hand, Sativas are much less common and they result in the “curry” appearance (THC minus the green belly). With these two varieties you have two different possibilities for growing your own pot.
Sativa-grown plants are best with feminized cannabis seeds, but there are hybrid strains as well. You can buy regular strains or feminized strains so you can choose according to your personal preferences. Hybrid strains often cross one another to create new, individualized characteristics.
When you buy regular weed seeds, you’re getting something that’s already grown. In order for marijuana to grow, the plant needs to have buds or leaves. Buds are the male plants (the main plant for producing resin) that contain marijuana’s active ingredient, THC. To produce a higher concentration of THC in the buds, the marijuana plant is “crossbred.” Crossbreeding often produces stronger, more potent buds, which is why it’s called “crossbreeding.”
With feminized cannabis seeds, you get a more powerful crop from the plant itself. The plant produces higher concentrations of THC because it has more buds to harvest. Crossbreeding produces a stronger cannabis with better potency, but if you want to try your hand at producing your own marijuana, you can buy regular weed seeds and mix in your feminized counterparts.
Another advantage of crossbreeding is that the plant will also tend to be more sensitive to the growing conditions. A male plant will often outgrow the female plants, when planted in the same growing environment. However, with feminized cannabis plants, that’s not the case. The feminized plants are more prone to stress, which makes them grow much faster and with more vigorous growth than regular seeds.
There are many other reasons why it’s better to crossbreed marijuana plants, but one reason in particular is that it can increase the number of buds that can be produced from just one plant. Crossbreeding allows you to produce high-quality buds all year round, instead of just in the summer. If you grow regular cannabis seeds, you’ll only be able to harvest a limited number of high-quality buds during the spring and summer months. When you crossbreed your plants, you can have an entire garden of high-quality buds throughout the year.
Crossbreeding is not the only way to increase the number of quality cannabis plants you can produce, though. There are actually several ways to alter the genetic makeup of your plants to produce buds that are of higher quality. Some methods actually require the partial or total removal of the female plants. Others only modify the external appearance of the female plants, so they can be used in traditional grow rooms without the risk of harming the plant. Yet another method involves switching the sexual maturity of the plants. There are a few reasons why a grower might want to use one or more of these methods, but no matter what you do, you need to keep in mind that crossbreeding is only one of many options available to you.
The best way to choose marijuana seeds is to start with something that’s already grown. The two best examples of this are indica and sativa strains, which are native to certain parts of Mexico. Many people also choose to crossbreed their hybrid varieties, but this isn’t recommended unless you’re willing to take that chance and deal with potentially devastating consequences. Crossbreeding can increase the likelihood of you getting a specific trait, but it also increases the chances that you’ll wind up with plants that don’t have that specific trait at all. With an Indica or Sativa hybrid, there’s a good chance that you’ll get the desired effect, but you shouldn’t expect that you’ll get that effect from a hybrid that was created by any method other than crossbreeding.
Two of the most popular hybrid strains are Skunk and Jamaican Blue. Skunk is probably the best known of the two, but many people also crossbreed it with Sativa, which is native to Jamaica. While the final result may vary depending on which way you crossbreed the plants, you can expect to end up with buds that are strong, dark, and fragrant.
On the other hand, feminized cannabis seeds are available to you for use in growing feminized plants. These plants look and act like regular cannabis seeds, but they’re not as strong and healthy. The best way to get started with feminized plants is to buy regular marijuana seeds, plant them in a regular potting mix, and then just let them grow. Just make sure you sterilize your containers after each harvest. After a couple years, your feminized buds will be ready to harvest!
