All you need to know about feminized cannabis seeds

All you need to know about feminized cannabis seeds. There are three different sexes when it comes to cannabis. Male, female and hermaphrodite plants. But getting quality herb is not as simple as that. Cannabis plants reproduce using pollen and pistils otherwise known as Pollen Pistil Interaction.

How you can change a female marijuana plant to become a hermaphrodite

But when a female plant is under stress, or when it’s in the wild with no male pollen around, it can become a hermaphrodite. That means a female plant that also has male “body parts”. It fertilizes itself and the seeds of its offspring will be feminized. Many of these seed will grow to be female plants with a higher likelihood to become hermaphrodite, even in a low stress environment. In a controlled environment, hermaphrodite can be created on purpose stressing the plant. For example, you can stress a female cannabis plant by changing it’s lighting cycle indoors. Temperature, water and even physical stress to the plant a couple other examples of how you can change a female marijuana plant to become a hermaphrodite.

When growing cannabis from seeds, they produce seedlings that are typically 50/50 male and female. Male plants are not high in THC and do not give the same high as the female so male seeds are undesirable. This is a disadvantage for weed growers. You do not know the gender of seeds until the plant starts flowering so male plants take up precious space only to end up unviable.

Sinsemilla is seedless marijuana

Male plants can also accidentally pollinate your female plants so instead of creating sinsemilla they produce seeds. Sinsemilla is the term used for cannabis flowers without seeds which is the aim of the game when growing weed. There is an alternative. You can buy feminized seeds so you do not have worry about producing male plants. Reputable seed banks use non-chemical methods like light stress to feminized their cannabis seeds for sale to the public.    

The two main chemical methods for creating feminized seeds are:

• Colloidal silver. Spraying female plants with a colloidal silver solution when they start to flower. The plant will grow balls full of female pollen. This allows you to collect the pollen to use to pollinate other female plants. This means all your seeds will be female without a male in sight. • Rodelisation. Rodelisation relies on the female trying to self-pollinate at the end of her cycle. She does this when she does not receive pollen during her cycle. The resulting seeds will all be female.
