The Feminine Side Of Cannabis

2009.04.03

Much to the surprise of many individuals, some websites can and do legally sell marijuana seeds. There are varieties but one you will often see is that some of the marijuana seeds are referred to as feminized seeds. This is not a joke and there is an explanation about these particular seeds that actually come from the female cannabis plant. One thing you may not understand though is why are they so much higher priced than the basic seeds.

Cannabis plants do have genders and each have their own jobs to do. It’s the male’s role to produce the flowers although sometimes people reverse the roles of the male and female by mistake. The female plant is fertilized by the male by its flowers. . This female with then produce the buds and seeds.

When an individual receives a package of marijuana seeds, it contains both male and female seeds, approximately half of each.

At this point, the female seeds can be altered by cloning. These plants sprayed with a solution, which shocks them and in return stops the evolution of them turning into males. They have now become feminized marijuana seeds. This means that any seed that has been subjected to this treatment will only be able to produce female plants.

So you are probably wondering that if the original seed bag of marijuana is fifty- fifty why is there a need for more females. To begin with, most of the male pot plants have lower THC levels so they can be utilized for actual marijuana. The male plants are necessary though to fertilize the female plants so they will produce the actual marijuana.

When one receives the bag of mixed plants, it’s important to separate the sexes so the males don’t fertilize the females. Both fertilized and unfertilized female plants will produce marijuana but differently. If one wants, bigger and riper buds then they want the unfertilized plants. If more marijuana seeds are the requirement then the fertilized female is the choice to be made, however it will produce smaller buds.

With the purchase of all female plants, it means all plants can be utilized for their weed, whereas in a mixed package there is about a production rate of 5 plants out of 10.

As you can see its much more time consuming to clone, the feminized plant so naturally these seeds cost more.

What it comes down to in the end though is it doesn’t matter what it’s called. Whether it is hash, cannabis, marijuana, grass or weed, good quality is expected. Recreational cannabis uses have simple expectations they want good cannabis and the feasibility to obtain the pertinent paraphernalia such as bongs, hash pipes, bubble bags and any other necessities to make their experience a pleasurable one.

For the most part cannabis users are more concerned as to the outlook of the law as opposed to buying seeds and growing. This is due to the heavy convictions they would face if caught, as well as time space and money being a factor.
