What are feminized seeds?

 

 

Feminized seeds mature into female plants. Cannabis breeders undertook specific growing programs and genetic alteration techniques to develop these special crops. They've only been around for the last few decades and contain no male chromosomes.

 

Males are useful for creating new strains or breeding, but if your cultivation goal is budding, they get in the way. If pollination occurs, seeds form. To avoid this, growers separate the genders early. Using a pack of feminized weed seeds eliminates this issue as all the seeds mature into female plants. 

 

Growers no longer have to wait until the vegetative phase to determine which crops are useful. By using this awesome variant, growers can nurture the plants from seeds and reap the rich rewards of each one. Initially, they bred these crops as photoperiod plants. As time passed, cannabis connoisseurs fused these plants with ruderalis crops. The result is the autoflowering feminized crops available today.

 

 

Feminized vs. regular

To understand why feminized seeds are convenient, we need to compare them to regular seeds. When you plant a pack of regular seeds, sprouting plants can either be male or female seeds. The latter is essential for producing buds, the part of the plant you ingest for recreation or medical purposes.

 

If you’re looking to breed cannabis or develop a new strain, you'll need both genders. When visiting Seed Supreme, you can find regular options with male weed seeds for sale. Some of the top-ranking products are: 

 

• Agent Orange regular
• Amnesia Lemon regular 
• Candy Punch regular 
• Chocolope regular 
• Gelato regular

 

Autoflowering vs. feminized

Like feminized cannabis seeds, autoflowering varieties also hit the 420 scene pretty recently. Growers fused the genetics of popular strains with ruderalis plants to create light-independent cultivars. These variants pass through each stage of maturity regardless of how much light exposure they get. 

 

These crops can be male or female. Autoflower weed seeds are convenient and have short life cycles. They automatically convert from the vegetative stage to flowering without changing the hours of light exposure. Some cannabis varieties are both feminized and autoflowering, while others aren't. Our top five autoflower cannabis options are: 

 

• Cheese autoflowering feminized 
• Diesel autoflowering feminized 
• AK-107 autoflowering feminized 
• Shellshock autoflowering feminized 
• Auto Afghan Skunk feminized 

 

How to identify female cannabis seeds

 

When you look at cannabis seeds, there's no way to determine which are female and male. You can only distinguish between them once they’re in the vegetative or preflower stages. This is one of the reasons why it’s essential to get your feminized cannabis seeds from a reputable source like Seed Supreme.

 

Males typically develop first, and you can use a magnifying glass or jeweler's loupe to identify the preflowers. Males have rounder preflowers, whereas female plants are slightly elongated and more pear-shaped. Ladies also feature a prominent calyx. This is a slender tip that produces pistils. Another subtle difference between the genders is plant structure, with females being more compact and bushy.

 

 

The key benefits of feminized seeds

There are several reasons why growers select feminized cannabis seeds above other variants. Some of these advantages include:

 

• Large yields from all the cannabis seeds
• Versatile enough to grow indoors and outdoors
• Convenient to cultivate
• No accidental pollination
• No wasted resources on males
• They develop into healthy mother plants, which can be used for breeding once they mature

 

When you cultivate feminized seeds, you don’t need to waste resources on male plants during the early stages. Direct all your efforts at producing high-quality buds. This convenience extends to the vegetative stage, where you don’t need to spend time separating genders. Most female strains are resilient and grow well inside or out with basic maintenance. Once these feminized cannabis seeds mature, you can use them as mother plants if you wish to breed.  

 

How to grow feminized cannabis seeds

 

Feminized seeds are either photoperiod or autoflowering. For this section, we’ll focus on the former. In the vegetative stage, they need approximately 18 hours of light to develop optimally. Once your plants are ready, switch the light cycle to 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark. The flowering time is strain-dependent, but most varieties take around nine weeks to bloom. These crops need powerful lights for bountiful harvests. Cultivating feminized cannabis seeds indoors requires temperatures of 68–78℉ and moderate humidity levels. Most cultivars are hardy enough to withstand training techniques to enhance your yields. 

 

When you grow female seeds outdoors, ensure they get enough light and subject them to a warm Mediterranean climate. Take preventative measures against pests and pathogens with natural foliar sprays. Use a canopy to protect plants from harsh weather conditions depending on the strain. Inspect your crops regularly for signs of distress and apply liberal nutrient feeds. 

 

Choosing the best soil for growing feminized seeds

 

 

To successfully cultivate feminized cannabis seeds, you need to use top-quality nutrients and soil. There are four types of soil, each with its advantages and disadvantages. 

 

Clay-type soil contains all the nutrients and minerals cannabis crops need to flourish, but when it dries out, it becomes hard. As the roots develop, this might hinder their growth and be destructive to the plant. Silt is also rich in nutrients but poses the same problem of a stiff texture. Sand, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. The texture is soft and loose, but it doesn’t contain the nutrients as other options do. Sand also doesn’t retain moisture well. 

 

The best option for growing feminized seeds is loam soil. This offers a blend of the previous options with adequate nutrition and permeability for the roots. Loamy soil provides enough oxygen to the roots and has great water-retention properties. This substrate also drains well, preventing issues like root rot.

 

Choosing the best lighting system for growing feminized seeds

 

 

When you set up your grow room before purchasing lights, you must consider several factors. The most important are cost, ventilation, and the phase of maturity your plants are in. A cost-effective option is compact fluorescent lights (CFL). They’re cheap and efficient, using minimal electricity. These also reduce the risk of burning your plants. The main drawback with this option is that they lack the intensity needed during the flowering stage. 

 

Experienced growers favor LED options for their feminized cannabis seeds. These have a significant startup cost but work out as a cost-effective solution in the long run. They cover the whole light spectrum and are more environmentally friendly. They also run cooler than other lights and can be used throughout the growth cycle. 

 

If you prefer bulb options, you’ll need to change them during the various stages of maturity. HID lights are great when the plant’s still young and during the vegetative stage convert to MH bulbs. HPS bulbs deliver the best results for feminized cannabis seeds during the flowering phase. 

 

Choosing the best nutrients for growing feminized seeds

 

For feminized seeds to thrive, they need both macro and micronutrients. These are present in some grow mediums like soil, but if you’re cultivating in coco coir or hydroponics, you need to supplement them. 

 

Most strains benefit from regular feeds of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Marijuana plants need large quantities of these to produce healthy buds. Some strains are more prone to deficiencies. In this case, having a strict feeding schedule that includes micronutrients like magnesium, copper, and calcium is best. 

 

How to water feminized seeds

 

Adequate water is vital for healthy crop development. When you grow feminized seeds in the USA, your climate and soil type determine how frequently you water your crops. In hot regions, the substrate dries faster and needs moisture sooner. There’s no exact formula for all growers.

 

One common beginner error is overwatering. This leads to various issues like wilting and discoloration. In some cases, the leaves curl downward and display obvious signs of distress. 

 

A simple way to determine if your plants need water is by doing the finger test. Before you water your soil, insert a finger knuckle deep to establish if it’s still moist. Only add more water if it’s dry to the touch.
