Feminized marijuana seeds are the perfect choice for growers looking to ensure female plants, avoiding the risk of males that could fertilize the crop. The genetic stability of Trikoma Seeds’ feminized seeds ensures a consistent crop, with specific characteristics of the variety preserved in each plant.
The term ‘feminised’ in the cannabis world refers to seeds that have been altered or treated to produce mainly female plants. This process is carried out in order to maximise the production of flowers with a high cannabinoid content, as it is these that are produced by female cannabis plants. In contrast, male plants produce pollen instead of flowers and can decrease flower production if they pollinate female plants.
Feminised seeds are the result of a process that involves manipulating the life cycle of the cannabis plant to obtain seeds that give rise to female plants. This process can involve various techniques, such as the application of colloidal silver or silver thiosulphate solutions, as well as self-pollination. The end result is a seed with a high probability of generating a female plant.
Questions and answers about feminised cannabis seeds
Feminised cannabis seeds were first developed in the 1980s, although their widespread use and mass production did not become popular until later in the 1990s. This innovation revolutionised the cannabis growing industry by offering growers a more efficient way to secure female plants, which produce the desirable cannabinoid-rich marijuana flowers.
When using the feminised seed method of cultivation, the possibility of unwanted male plants is eliminated. These male plants can interfere with flower production by pollinating the females, resulting in a decrease in both bud quality and quantity.
