When a male plant pollinates a female flower, it produces cannabis seeds. The female flower produces seeds, and once the seeds mature, the female plant dies, and the seeds are either harvested or drops to the ground and germinates. Some cannabis varieties have both male and female flowers on the same plant and can self-pollinate to make seeds. These plants are known as hermaphrodites.
Feminized Cannabis Seeds
Feminized cannabis seeds refer to seeds that produce only female plants. Growers get feminized seeds by spraying the cannabis plant with colloidal silver or spraying seeds with gibberellic acid, a hormone that triggers germination. Another method of feminizing seeds is by carefully stressing the female plant to pollen and push past plant maturity to pollinate another female. Feminized seeds grow cannabis plants that produce buds rich in cannabinoids. They are too unstable to reproduce and are therefore not used for breeding.
Autoflowering Cannabis Seeds
Autoflowering seeds are a result of genetic manipulation. They automatically flower based on age rather than the ratio of light to dark hours as in photoperiod strains. A cannabis species known as Cannabis ruderalis starts to flower once the plant has reached a certain age regardless of the amount of light they receive. The autoflowering trait occurred as an adaptation of the ruderalis subspecies to the harsh environmental conditions in Russia, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia.
These seeds do well, especially in areas where summers are short and cold. Autoflowering strains are, however, known for being less potent. Most breeders cross a potent marijuana strain with a low-THC ruderalis to produce an autoflowering strain. Growers can grow in early spring with autoflowering cannabis seeds because it will flower in the summer. They can produce two full harvests within one growing season and are suitable for beginner marijuana growers.
Final Thoughts on Cannabis Seeds
Seeds must be allowed to fully mature before harvesting to get quality seeds. They must also be stored properly to prevent pathogens or mold from spoiling them. Growers can buy cannabis seeds from online seed banks located around the world. There are also seedbanks with banks with physical stores in states where marijuana is legal. It is crucial to choose a reputable seed bank to get high-quality seeds.
