Limited Edition Seeds: feminized or crossbred seeds that are specially produced for a male or female plant. Crossbred plants are a result of sexual reproduction, in which one sex produces more eggs than the other, thus creating offspring that are similar to the natural parents. When selecting a crossbred plant, care must be taken so the flowers and foliage appear to be entirely different from each other. Crossbred or feminized seeds (both male and female plants) have a greater chance of establishing themselves as a market leader.
Of particular note are feminized cannabis strains that exhibit characteristics commonly seen in indica, with some of the most common traits being cross-fertilization, hybrid vigor and high yield. These traits make them highly desirable to breeders and enable them to experiment with crossbreeding for traits desired by the consumer, such as producing stronger, more potent cannabis strains. The ability to create a new hybrid from a crossbred plant is one of the most appealing aspects to using feminized seeds. The resulting product, when bred with other pure species, will often display the same characteristics of the pure species it is intended to replace. This allows consumers to enjoy new, hybrid products with increased potency, without necessarily paying much higher prices than the original plant.
A very popular strain in the world of limited edition seeds is the Nicole clone. The hybrid, which was created in Canada by pollen collectors, exhibits all of the characteristics of the popular “Nadu” indica, including the sweet fruity aroma and resinous vapors that produce an amazing heady combination. The genetics used to create the Nicole clone are a result of laboratory studies performed on cannabis, where many of the desirable qualities of the popular strain were identified.
Skittlez X Skittlez – Another popular limited edition seeds is the Skittlez line, created by pollen collection workers in Illinois. These are a hybrid cross between the legendary “Crested Butteapple” indica and the highly-tolerant “Sally Beauty” skittlebug. The skittlez a birthday cake or cream line features a high-grown canopy tree with fully developed aerial leaves, which is used to support dense, densely-planted young plants. The flowers appear to be blooming in early summer. The scent of ripe berries is highly desirable.
Feminized THC (THC-HEX) feminized cannabis seeds are created by breeding with conventional strains to ensure minimal differences from their genetics. In addition to providing a high yield of high quality buds, this process also ensures feminization, allowing for a cross of two genders without using traditional breeding techniques. However, the feminization process itself can be lengthy, depending upon the intended cross. In general, female flowers will flower three weeks after male flowers. If the cross is not successful, most suppliers offer a refund or resubmit guarantee.
Limited Edition Strain genetics, such as Flowering Time, were created by the same breeder that created our popular Jack Hereford strains. Flowering Time provides a cross between two very popular and prolific cannabis strains: Skunk #1 and #2. They are very similar in appearance to original Jack Hereford lines but have a longer flowering time and much more robust potency.
Autoflowering Seeds are the newest crop of feminized seeds available. This hybrid combination of autoflowering seeds and standard seeds was developed by geneticists in California. Unlike regular seeds, autoflowering seeds are able to tolerate some degree of waxy or oily conditions during harvest, making them perfect for indoor growing.
All of these strains have become immensely popular due to their unique characteristics. Most are considered super-horticultural specimens due to their ability to grow extremely well in limited space. The flowers are large and show a heavy base with dark green coloration. Some of the most popular varieties include Sativa Herb, Butterfly Herb, Diesel, Chronic, Purple Coneflower, and Queen Anne.
