How to Grow Feminized Weed Seeds
Many would-be grower’s think that they need a special “female marijuana plant” in order to grow pot. This is simply untrue. As far as I’m concerned, female marijuana plants have their own tiny little trick up their sleeve. Females are significantly more resilient, hardy plants, and can handle some more punishment than their male counterparts. Here are the top five reasons why I think females are better than males when it comes to growing marijuana plants.
The biggest benefit to using feminized or cross-bred marijuana seeds is that it means you’ll have big, full, strong buds instead of thin, skinny ones. Most growers choose feminized sativa strains because they tend to grow big, strong buds that make for lots of resin and are guaranteed to produce regular, strong buds over a certain period of time. Now, however, cross-bred sativa strains can also ensure this, and your chances of having a super-strong female marijuana plant is close to equal to your chance of having a strong male plant.
Male plants typically have a short lifespan. On average, they can live from two to three years before they die. Females on the other hand, can live up to five years! Some feminized cannabis seeds boast lifespans up to ten years, which is quite an impressive lifespan considering how fast females can grow.
Another benefit to buying feminized or autoflowering regular seeds is that autoflowering regular seeds don’t require a great deal of maintenance. Since you’re getting feminized or cross-bred plants, all you really need to do is to fertilize and water them once or twice a week. You won’t have to worry about taking care of giant, bulky male plants any more. Plus, since these seeds have already been through the process of naturalization, they’re already resistant to many of the same insects and diseases common to male plants.
You’ll also save money by purchasing autoflowering marijuana seeds. Unlike with regular marijuana seeds, it’s more difficult to cultivate feminized plants and produce feminized buds. With regular marijuana seeds, you just need to buy a plant and then start growing. However, autoflowering marijuana strains require more attention in the initial years, but they will reward you with large, fertile blooms.
If you plan to breed your own marijuana plants, you’ll need to buy a high quality set of genetics. Some of the best hybrid genetics are the Canada Maple Leaf Indica and the Mountain Pineapple Hybrid. The Canadian Maple Leaf Indica is actually a cross between the Canadian Sativa and the Mountain Pineapple. These traits make the Mountain Pineapple much hardier than its counterpart, which allows it to tolerate extreme weather conditions.
To ensure that your autoflowering marijuana seeds produce healthy, heavy buds, it’s important that you follow a few tips. For starters, remember to pick regular seeds that are tightly-packed. This ensures that they receive the proper amount of heat in order to germinate and form buds that are big, beautiful, and fast-flowering. Plus, regular seed banks don’t usually allow feminized seeds unless they are very tightly packed.
There are many hybrid varieties of marijuana seeds available on the market today. The best place to start is probably by going to seed banks and paying a visit to the grow rooms. Most seed banks keep genetic lines separated so that you can choose exactly what kind of marijuana strain you would like to grow. And for those who can’t find seeds to match their particular needs, the growing rooms are the next best option.
Grow rooms are essentially rooms that are used specifically to grow marijuana plants. They house the plants, keep them warm and dry, provide a comfortable environment for the plants, and most importantly, help prevent disease. You can go to a regular seed bank and purchase regular seeds that have already been proven to work. However, most consumers just don’t have the time to spend cultivating their own marijuana plants. Luckily, most consumers aren’t aware that there are feminized strains of regular seeds. Many seed banks can also source feminized seeds but generally, feminized seeds are only available to customers that are within two generations of each other.
One of the most popular marijuana strains regular seeds produce are bred from a specific variety of Chinese cabbage. The most popular variety is the Ak-47, which has a rich history in the cultivation of China’s soil. Ak-47 plants have a long history of breeding well, even being classified in one book as a “World Herb”. This is because of its hardiness and resistance to a wide array of weather conditions, which makes it perfect for growing indoors even in extremely cold environments.
All you really need to do to get started with your own personal supply of feminized weed seeds is to look through any local seed stores in your area. If you find one, you’ll be able to get started right away, since most stores that specialize in this product will always be selling new stock. If they don’t have what you’re looking for, you can even order it online, although chances are you’ll have to pay shipping costs for the product. Either way, it should only take about a week to ship your order, depending on where you live.
