Regular cannabis seeds always contain both male and female seeds at an optimal percentage of fifty/ Fifty. Therefore, in order to determine which is which, the seeds must be germinating and grown for a minimum of four weeks before they “sprout” or become male (or female) marijuana plants. The male plants are normally smaller than the female plants, while the female plants are normally larger. Although the male plant is smaller than the female plant, the male plant can still produce significant amounts of resin during the growing process. However, it takes three to four weeks from the time of germination before the male plant can produce resin and can be harvested.
There are three different categories of cannabis plants: Indicas, hybrids, and perennials. All of these have their own preferred growing conditions, of course. Some of these plants, such as Indica’s, are naturally more prone to disease, which may limit their growing area. With that said, most Indicas grow better in some environments than others. Therefore, the best way to determine which are which would be by finding a greenhouse with good air circulation, shade, some sort of heating and lighting systems, and a regular supply of fresh water and nutrients.
Many breeders, or cultivators, want to start out with one type of cannabis, and then they find themselves gravitating towards another type, usually because it contains a higher percentage of one of the desired trait they are looking for. There are many examples of this, such as feminized marijuana seeds for female plant enthusiasts. While the female plant is not considered to contain the “potency” of the male plant, the female plant tends to flower earlier and produces more resin. This is often used in hybrid gardens as feminized marijuana seeds.
Most feminized seeds are hand-grown, and the process includes all of the normal gardening processes. No feminized buds are actually needed to obtain this result. However, many gardeners do choose to harvest feminized buds to finish their collection. Some growers will buy regular cannabis seeds from breeders, then take the bus to a greenhouse, and grow all of the plants in one container. This allows a large variety of plants to all be contained within the same area.
Autoflowering cannabis seeds are grown in much the same manner as feminized seeds. However, autoflowering is defined as any type of plant that produces its own marijuana and produces fully mature leaves and stems. Autoflowering buds must also be hand-grown or be produced through artificial selection. The grower will select a single type of plant and breed all of the plant‘s offspring under this one common ancestor.
Several different types of auto flowering cannabis seeds can be collected and bred, each producing two to three different phenotypes. These phenotypes are cross-pollinated with other cannabis strains. Some of these plants will produce only one type of hybrid, and the other plants will produce hybrid strains with characteristics of both parents. These hybrid plants are considered wild-type when they resemble the characteristics of regular cannabis strains but don’t have the traits of either strain. Many enthusiasts collect numerous autoflowering phenotypes and then breed them together.
Autoflowering cannabis seeds are often crossed with regular seeds to increase their yield. This is most commonly done with feminized strains, although regular seeds may also be crossed with regular cannabis strains. In some cases, auto flowering plants will produce regular seeds to help make another plant more efficient at reproducing. Autoflowering plants can cross-pollinate with other plants, increasing the probability of creating even more hybrid strains. The hybridization of autoflowering cannabis seeds, although it increases the number of genes in a given plant, also decreases its chances of becoming a weed. Because most of the work in this process occurs in the field, it is done carefully by professionals.
Regular cannabis seeds are collected and cared for by individuals, or breeders who belong to specialized groups, such as those who raise show champions or set out to create new cannabis crops. These breeders work closely with suppliers of the required resources, including environmental help, food sources, and reproductive and breeding methods. Specialized breeding facilities, also known as seed banks, are collections of marijuana seeds that have been proven successful in producing specific desired results. There are many seed banks throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe.
