Regular cannabis seeds always contain both male and female plants in an optimal percentage of 50/ Males and females combined. However, in order for you to know which is which, the cannabis seeds must be properly stowed and cultivated before they “sex”, or start to display signs of being either males (pretentious flower buds) or females (pretentious foliage). A little knowledge here about the different stages of life of cannabis seeds will help you choose which is which. For example, when is a “male” cannabis seed female?
Autoflowering cannabis seeds like White Widow and Sour Diesel are feminized. What that means is that they are crossed with the feminized Black Seed (which by definition contains only one chromosome from the mother plant and one from the sun plant). The feminized autoflowering seeds will normally contain one set of chromosomes from the mother plant, one set from the sun plant and one set from a mate plant. This cross will occur naturally during cell division. There are no controlled experiments or hormonal treatments involved in feminizing autoflowering cannabis seeds.
In growing regular cannabis seeds indoors, keep in mind that they will need certain elements, like good light, moisture, nutrients and H20. It is best if you start your indoor marijuana seeds indoors between four and seven weeks prior to germination. Some experts recommend waiting up to ten weeks between germination and using the marijuana seeds. In any case, this is going to involve a lot more time and effort.
Another important note on breeding with regular seeds is that most breeders will use a selection system to create their strains. They will begin with a cross of one specific desirable variety, and end with a cross of another specific desirable variety. For instance, they may select to start with an indica-hybrid. Then, they would cross that hybrid with a full-grown indoor cannabis plant to produce a couch blend. There is really just an endless list of possibilities. To begin with though, you need to select your strains based on the desired results, and then cross these selections to come up with the desired marijuana strain phenotypes.
When it comes to breeding with regular cannabis seeds indoors, the way you do so will have a large impact on the outcome. The most popular way to breed these plants is through pollen collection. A number of companies make collection boxes that are specifically designed for this purpose. Other companies provide a service where they will actually deliver the pollen to you. Once you collect the pollen, you will then need to transfer it into a pollen tray. You must make sure that this process is done correctly in order for the result to be high quality.
Some breeders prefer to start the breeding process by producing buds from scratch. By doing so, they are able to control the environment of the crop. The two options available to this cultivator are to produce male and female buds. Even though it is possible to produce both types of buds, many experts recommend that the frequenting of the same type of bud results in significant offspring.
When it comes to breeding regular cannabis seeds indoors, the way in which the plants are reared has a profound impact on the eventual quality of the end product. For instance, some of the most desired, and expensive, varieties of buds are the ones that are able to tolerate high amounts of water and maintain their shape. Others require a more humid environment, and those that do well in these conditions should be potted in containers of sand or perlite. On the other hand, some plants can live in extremely dry environments, and by providing water and moisture they will also thrive. It is imperative that the type of environment provided to the plants that are going into production matches what is necessary for their success.
If you are interested in breeding regular cannabis seeds, it is important to look at a variety of different strains. These are all able to exhibit a wide range of genetics and are likely to adapt to specific environments. For example, feminized marijuana seeds are ideal for indoor growers because of the nature of the plants’ genetics. A feminized plant will respond to the natural elements found in the home environment and will therefore grow much better than plants that are started with seeds from “regular” plants. You will want to be sure to pick up a guide that explains which type of feminized marijuana seeds are available and which will work best for the type of environment that you are attempting to cultivate in.
