The Science Behind Power Plant Marijuana Seeds
Dutch Passion, or power plant, is one of the world’s most popular Indoor Herb and Crop Seeds. It is often used in high fashion sativa marijuana strains. The end result is a robust and stable Sativa-dominating classic. Power Plant cannabis seeds become very big and sturdy mid-size/large marijuana plants which yield thick resinous and aromatic buds in return for very little maintenance.
One of the reasons this herbal masterpiece grows so well is because it starts out as a vigorous bush. In order to produce and release its true potential, it must get a good start. It does this through a careful selection of high quality flower and weed seeds. Flowering plants are often left to bloom after they’re sown. This is why you can rarely find true African power plant cannabis seeds indoors. Many growers prefer to start their plants outdoors at first so they can avoid this common problem.
With the rare exception of the truly exotic, all African Indoor herb and crop seed buds are fully ripe when they arrive at harvest time. They mature quickly and have high CBD levels. Some are also extremely high in THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, which is also called THC. Other traits of successful African American power plant cannabis seeds include large, compact, thick leaves (which lock in moisture) and dark green coloration.
Indoor grown cannabis plants have a nearly endless flowering period which begins in the late summer. Full growth will begin in early fall with new shoots extending outward. Leaves will change color as the plant blooms, going from deep green to bluish green. buds appear as tiny blue-green pear-like structures and then turn red as they open up. Flowering stems reach up to four feet tall.
While many African American cannabis seeds can be successfully used in indoor cultivation, the most successful strains are those taken from mature plants found outdoors. This ensures that the plant will have developed the necessary skills to deal with the different conditions it will face indoors. Good results can be achieved with little attention paid to the flowering period, or lack thereof. The plant may not have developed the “bulkiness” to support a good result, or it may have not developed buds at all.
A common feature of successful indoor strains is that they contain a balanced mixture of active (Cannabis sativa) and inactive (Cannabis cerevisiae) cannabidiol compounds. Cannabidiol is a powerful substance that has only been found in marijuana today through genetic engineering. It does not exist naturally in nature. The plant has taken an unknown chemistry learned in nature and adapted it into a powerful weed.
Indoor growers have long known that cannabis seeds that contain a high level of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) will result in high potency buds, and therefore good results if you are growing for enjoyment. This same principal applies to indica. However, some hybrid strains have been crossed with indica and the resulting plants have been bred to produce very small amounts of THC, or no THC at all. These are called sativa crossed with sativa, or sativa with a low level of THC.
The logic behind hybridization means that by combining the best traits of each of the parent species you create a new plant that has those traits. In this case, the desirable characteristics of the African cannabis seeds are brought over to the cannabis plants used in the US market, resulting in better crops that produce a greater yield. With improved yields and fewer weeds growing in the US, the demand for African cannabis seeds has only increased, resulting in a booming industry for the farmer, and a large cash crop for the legal grower.
