If you’re interested in growing your own cannabis, you may have been hearing about regular cannabis seeds. Many people wonder if these are legal or not, and whether or not it’s worth it to invest in these seeds. Here is our brief review of the matter: Are cannabis seeds legal? Read on for more information!
What exactly are regular cannabis seeds used for? Seeds are used for breeding purposes in order to create new, unwanted plants. Typically, this happens when a farmer does not have the time or the resources to harvest a large amount of marijuana plants, so they breed the stuff using marijuana seeds. This is basically how farmers to get their crops from plants they didn’t grow, all through the process of self-sowing. These seeds can also be used for cross-breeding, which is basically a way of creating a new species by mating different strains. This can be used for breeding prized or hard-to-find varieties.
It’s important to note that all cannabis plants contain both males and females; only the females are used for breeding. While it’s possible to cultivate seeds from females, it is very rarely successful because females are very weak and small. However, some breeders have been known to cross breed females and males, but this is generally illegal.
Since feminized cannabis seeds are essentially the same as regular cannabis seeds (all have the same chromosomes), breeding with these will result in a regular seed that has the potential to produce a new generation of plants. While it’s unlikely that you’ll find a feminized seed that has the potential to produce a super crop of plants, autoflowering seeds may be used in situations where a regular seed will not grow. Autoflowering seeds are used in hydroponic nutrient solutions to help plants grow and thrive.
In theory, any kind of plant could be successfully bred using autoflowering cannabis seeds. However, there are restrictions put on breeding to make sure that the end result is a regular, high quality crop. In addition to having the potential to produce super crops, regular seeds allow farmers to develop a gene pool that is rich in potential crops.
Any farmer who is growing plants in a hydroponic system should be aware of their genetics and the makeup of their crop. Hybrid plants can often take a longer period of time to produce than traditional seeds. Some farmers have successfully managed to complete the first generation of feminized cannabis seeds using regular cannabis seeds. However, there are many limits to this type of breeding. Regular seeds won’t grow well outdoors or in tall, dry conditions, which make them a poor choice for most hydroponic environments.
There are currently many options available for those who are trying to take advantage of the breeding of regular cannabis seeds with feminized seeds. Some of the most popular selections include French vanilla, chocolate, blueberry, orange and lemon; although, there are other phenotypes that some growers are starting to focus on. Many feminized strains have already been bred to create specific types of “TV Dinner”, “TV Showberry”, “TV Tomatoes” and “TV Sundowner”. These unique, limited edition strains are becoming highly sought after because of their unique traits and produce.
The goal of breeding regular cannabis seeds with feminized strains is to create crops that are as good, if not better, than their counterparts. Some strains are so highly desired because of their limited edition characteristics that only a select few producers will harvest them. By creating a database of the traits of the various phenotypes, breeders are creating a resource that allows consumers to choose only the varieties they need and desire.
