I cannabis seeds they are divided into three main categories: regular, feminized and autoflowering. Each with its own characteristics and advantages.
In fact, although apparently all the same, each type of seed is aimed at a specific grower. And, if we have recently approached the world of cultivation, it is normal to ask ourselves: "What are the differences?". We quickly learn to distinguish them.
Regular cannabis seeds: perfect for breeders
Come on seeds of cannabis regular, we can obtain both female and male plants. Because yes, for those wondering, cannabis is dioecious. That is, it boasts both male and female specimens.
A very important difference. In fact, if female cannabis plants give us our beloved ones tops, male plants boast pockets rich in pollen. The reason?
Cannabis is a species capable of reproduce independently. The pollen from the males ends up on the buds of the females, which in turn produce seeds.
If we are gods breeder so, and we are in the business of creating new cannabis strains, regular seeds are perfect for us.
If instead our only purpose is to smoking or vaporize resin-rich buds, it will be better to opt for feminized seeds. Let's find out why.
Feminized cannabis seeds: why choose them
With i feminized seeds female plants are insured. In fact, the chances of getting female seedlings go up to 99,9%.
Perfect for those interested only in buds to enjoy, and not in reproduction, we list all the advantages of this type of seeds:
- you have the (almost) absolute certainty of having female seedlings
- we save time and money, because we shouldn't dig out the male plants, risk pollination and ruin our crops
- tops of very high quality: said "sinsemilla", seedless cannabis flowers, born from unfertilized female plants, boast a higher quality than those with seeds. The reason?
Once fertilized, the female plants, rather than producing large, resin-filled buds, use their resources and energy for reproduction. Causing him to lose power as a result.
