The seeds in our warehouse are kept in the best of conditions to guarantee and ensure the proper maintenance and freshness of the cannabis seeds. We recommend using similar methods to ours; stocking the seeds in covered recipients in a refrigerated area between 2 to 7 degrees. Keep out of sun and in a dry dark area.
Feminized seeds have been genetically prepared as to ensure the production and growth of female cannabis plants. Regular seeds on the other hand are natural cannabis seeds cultivated from a pollinated mother and will produce female and male plants.
If you wish to produce your own set of seeds, you will need female and male plants to be able to create a stable “mother plant”. If you are only looking for flower production feminized seeds will suffice (female plants need to be pollinated by a male to start producing seeds, an un-pollinated female will start flowering without producing seeds).
What’s difference between regular and feminized?
Feminized seeds will ONLY produce female plants, meaning you won’t need to kill or remove any male plants growing with your crops. Plus, unfertilized (un-pollinated) female cannabis plants can spend more of their energy producing THC rather than seeds. The only disadvantage of the feminized seeds is the potential drop in quality due to the fact that they’ve been genetically treated.
The Regular seeds, on the other hand, produce authentic high quality females, that come from male and female plants, and in the same natural order, will produce female and male seeds when pollinated.
What is the percentage of female plants found in regular and feminized packs of seeds?
In optimal conditions the regular seeds will provide a 50/50 balance of female and male plants, although most cultivators will suggest a 2:1 female/male ratio. In the case of feminized seeds, practically all banks will guarantee a 99% female plant success rate.
How to increase the probability of getting female plants?
Some factors can influence the production of male and female plants; for example, the conditions in which you’re growing the plants, the space and the available time.
During the first few weeks one can seek to obtain more female cannabis plants by providing the plants with higher concentrations of Nitrogen, higher levels of humidity and low temperatures and blue spectrum lighting.
For male plants we recommend a higher contribution of Potassium.
Auto-flowering varieties: The main feature about auto-flowers is that they start the flowering process (creation of buds) based on their genes and will do so independently of the light that they receive. (Meaning you can give your auto-flowers 18 hours of light a day the whole way through their life cycle).
On the contrary, photo-periodic plants will go from a vegetating cycle (where the plant grows and develops the branches and leaves) to the flowering cycle (the cycle where the plant will produce buds) based on the light scheduling you give it.
This means you will need to give your photo-periodic plant between 16 to 20 hours of light (and from 4 to 8 hours of darkness) a day during the vegetation cycle. When you want it to start producing buds you will need to change the light cycle to 12 hours of light, 12 hours of darkness.
Whereas with an auto-flowering variety the change in light cycles isn’t necessary.
Advantages and disadvantages of Auto-flowers:
The good thing about auto-flowering plants is that, they germinate quickly, they’re life cycle is very short meaning you can grow up to three auto-flowers a year. Because they’re genetics make them flower you can grow them any time of the year (providing it’s hot and they get enough sun), the auto-flowering plant will be a lot smaller and much more discrete and less of a hassle to look after.
However, the maximum yield of an auto-flowering strain will be considerably less than a photo-periodic strain.
Advantages and disadvantages of Photo-periodic strains:
The good thing about photo-periodic plants is that: They’re life span depends on the light it receives; which is great if you want to control the height of the plant (you can keep it for two weeks or 5 months in the vegetating cycle if you don’t change the light schedule, it’s totally up to you), the yield is considerably higher, can be cloned, can also be pollinated as to great more seeds.
However; the plants are much longer to grow (a natural outdoor cycle for a photo-periodic plant will be 2 months vegetating and 2 months flowering), the plants can be much bigger (and some strains are shown to keep growing even during the flowering period), photo-periodic strains will require more care and attention, and if growing indoors, will need to have a change of light as well as spectrum.
A stressed cannabis plant will grow slower, and will have a lower yield. The stress occurs when the plant is in bad growing conditions.
Factors that will stress the plant are:
- Lack or excess water
- Exposure to UV light
- The use of inappropriate nutrients (e.g. toxic ones)
- Exposure to acids
- Pests, fungi, insects and bacteria
- Extreme temperatures, (also regular temperatures changes e.g. moving a plant indoors to a warm temperature and then putting it back outside in the cold)
- Bad growing conditions
- Very low light intensity
- Cold weather
Stress can affect the harvest, production and health of the plant, as well as the outcome of the yield and its quality.
The main problem with stressed cannabis plants is the slow growth rate, the irregularity in flowering and the minimized production.
Stress can also have an impact of the sex of the plant, it happens that stress can turn the plant hermaphrodite which will damage the all-round quality of the flowers, if it produces them. If you want to have a bigger turn out of female plants, then you should avoid any kinds of stress.
Some cultivators apply certain stress methods known as LST or SCROG, these techniques are difficult to achieve and should be researched profusely before being applied. Cultivators do this to create more light reception points on the plant to be able to create a higher yield. The stress to a plant can also, depending on the strain, provoke certain changes in colors of the leaves and the buds.
