Limited Edition seeds are produced by cross pollination from another naturally occurring plant. Each variety has its own set of characteristics, and each one has its own limited maturation time. Cross pollination can occur by crossing a male with a female plant. Male flowers may have large blooms and extensive fruity aroma, but the pollen secreted has smaller, less aromatic seeds. Females are self-pollinated by choosing a favorite plant and producing a cluster of blooms or a single flower.
The limited edition seeds are highly resilient to adverse weather conditions and insects, making them suitable for many growing situations. They are also known to produce seeds at a much faster rate than regular seeds, making breeding a chore rather than an enjoyable experience for breeders. There is also less chance of over-harvesting due to the nature of the limited edition seeds.
The biggest threat to limited edition seedsman seeds is hybridization between indicas and annato. Indica and annals are the most common of all hybrid plantings. When cross pollinated, cross offspring can become extremely fragrant and produce large amounts of leaves or flowers, although they are generally low yielding. In order to avoid hybridization, growers must carefully select which varieties they wish to harvest in appropriate seasons. This makes hybrid seeds very popular with commercial seed producers.
Limited Edition Seedsman hybrids are also susceptible to cross pollination from wild relatives, with unpredictable results. Cross-pollination between two different cultivars often causes hybrid strains with increased vigor and flower periods, higher the level, and larger blooms. Some cross pollination may produce seeds with increased volatility or disease resistance. Nonetheless, it is not uncommon for a cross to produce flowers or seeds that are too small, too weak, or with mixed genetics. This often occurs when the parent plant is stressed due to disease or lack of flowering time or when the floral traits are inconsistent with the desired traits desired of the offspring.
Limited Edition Seedsman varieties are highly susceptible to blight, a common problem in California. Fungus gnats (Cissampelos pareira) often infest seedlings. The best choice for growing indicas with this problem is to purchase seeds from reputable breeders, cross them with a Californian Sativa strain, and then take good care of the resulting plant. Some of the more forgiving cultivars of this type of sativa are the Sonora and Chlorophytum. Preventative fungicides should be applied during flowering time to prevent a problem with this and similar diseases. Mowing should be kept short to prevent stress on roots, as well.
Limited Edition seeds produced by cross pollen from selected autosomes, diploid and haploid plants, and some herbaceous perennials have been developed by many reputable breeders over the past few decades. The limited edition traits of these autosomes are the ability to produce small, miniaturized blooms that mat large, making them excellent choices for producing feminized seedlings for landscapers. Some of these cross pollen seeds are so potent that they can flower even if the intended parent plant has no blooms at all!
A new technique, named “gene expression cloning”, enables full feminization of any cannabis variety with complete genetics. Many established breeders are using this technique with much success. The technique works well with some kush, Indicas and White and Red Piranha strains, but has little or no effect on Colorado Plants, Hawaiian Papaverias, African Maize, or most hybrid species. This is the most promising new technique that has resulted from genetic technology to date, as it provides a very strong genetic structure for the consumer who selects their own feminized cannabis seeds.
Limited Edition Seedsman is an excellent selection for the consumer looking to produce their own feminized plants and can be ordered online today. Many retailers who offer this product also offer feminized regular seeds, which are also a great way to avoid the expense and waste of breeding your own plants and seeds, or paying for a feminized variety that may not be successful. If you have an intention to harvest feminized cannabis flowers, this would be an easy way to ensure your feminization is absolutely perfect, and better yet, guaranteed.
