What are Feminized Seeds?

(Before you buy)

Feminized seeds are the best selling cannabis seeds online. Droves of medical and recreational marijuana growers are cultivating their own plants from feminized seeds. But what are they all about? Let’s take a look…

What are feminized seeds?

Feminized seeds are a type of seed from the cannabis plant. These seeds have been specially made by breeding two mother cannabis plants together, instead of the usual male and female breeding combination. As a result of the female-female parents, all offspring produced (seeds) possess XX chromosomes. Without any Y chromosomes, there can be no males(which are unnecessary for ‘sensimilla’ seedless bud production).

When using feminized seeds, virtually all plants sprouted will be females. This is a lifesaver for certain growers who face obstacles such as a strict plant limit or simply want to be guaranteed of what they are getting.

Feminized seeds have improved in quality and reliability a lot in the past decade. Just a few years ago feminized seeds were considered to be a scam. Growers were experiencing frequent hermaphroditic plants, along with a host of other problems including stunted growth and mutations.

Nowadays, many feminized seed genetics have been improved to resist those hermaphroditic tendencies and other problems, while producing the sensimilla buds of the desired strain. Virtually any variety of cannabis can be ‘feminized’, and as a result, the majority of cannabis seeds available for purchase online are in fact feminized seeds.

How are feminized seeds made?

Feminized seeds are made by stressing one female cannabis plant into producing hermaphroditic flowers, and then impregnating another mother plant with that hermaphroditic pollen. Usually, the stress needed to trigger hermaphroditic flowers is induced by colloidal silver and can be done at home with the use of a silver coin, battery, wire and a glass of water.

Note that because the hermaphroditic flowers were produced due to stress rather than by genetic destiny, offspring is said to not pass on any hermaphroditic traits.

Once a solution of colloidal silver has been made, it is foliar spayed on the donor plant. Within a few days, the cannabis mother plant should produce the hermaphroditic flower that is needed. Pollen is collected from this, and bred with the selected mother plant – often this is an exact clone of the same strain. One thing this does is narrow down a plant’s genetics, as it is basically inbreeding.

Are feminized seeds better than regular seeds?

This is a hard question to ask. Feminized seeds have shown their value in the hands of productive cannabis sensimilla cultivators. Growers who use feminized seeds tend to do well and get the results they are looking for, usually lots of seedless bud and guaranteed female plants.

Regular seeds are the tried-and-true method, and should never be forgotten, as the species survives on it. Regular seeds are prized by the best cannabis growers and cultivators.

Whether you decide on choosing regular or feminized seeds is your call. There’s a definite advantage, actually a necessity, in choosing regular seeds for the longevity of a plant species. But for one-time growers or those of you who wish to make clones, feminized seeds are a great option that tends to do the job right and produce very uniform buds.

What are the best feminized seeds?

Feminized seeds come in a range of different shapes and sizes. Depending on what your needs are, you can surely find the right kind of seeds to purchase online.

If you’re interested in heavy dank buds, narcotic effects, and a higher CBD content, you may want to try an indica strain of seeds. Indica plants grow and finish quickly, and produce a large amount of sticky-sweet resin. Think Afghan Kush and Hash Plant. Indoor growers prefer feminized indica seeds and their hybrids to produce the dense, heavyweight cash-cropper cannabis buds that buyers love.

For those looking for the most extreme head highs, sativa is your best option. Sativa cannabis plants grow large and live a long time. Some sativa varieties such as Thai Stick may take almost as long as a full calendar year to grow, with other sativa strains like Durban Poison take less time. These strains are widely popular and known for their powerful psychoactive effects, said to be in part due to their high THCV content. Outdoor growers prefer feminized sativa seeds for their large yields, mold resistant plants, and high THC content.

The best pick for you may be somewhere in between indica and sativa. Nearly all of the popular seed strains and cannabis cup winners are hybrids. This includes the famous Northern Lights, Kali Mist, Bubblegum, Super Lemon Haze, Blueberry… the list goes on. Feminized seed hybrids are the most popular product for sale at cannabis seed banks online.
