In almost every online cannabis shop regular as well as feminized seeds are being sold. To understand why feminized seeds are so popular, you should know that only female plants can help you to get high. The male plants are useless, at least for us smokers.
Don’t you think growing male marijuana plants is a waste of time? When buying feminized seeds, you won’t have to spend your time on removing the male plants. Your plants will all be female, as long as they’re feeling comfortable.
And therein lies the rub. It can happen that you get male plants even though you bought feminized seeds. Mostly this is due to high levels of stress your plants are enduring. Stress causes plants to produce male flowers, because they want to reproduce as soon as possible.
This might sound really weird to you if you are a newbie, but it’s entirely true. A plant can feel stress, just like a human being, for example if it’s experiencing heat or cold. Wouldn’t you feel stressed too if you’re stuck in a fridge? Also, if light conditions aren’t optimal or if you’re trimming your plants to much, you’re making your plants feel stressed.
Feminized is a bit more finicky and doesn’t give you as many options with regard to cloning and breeding. Regular is safer and more stable, but you need to be on constant watch for males. To sum it up, both feminized and regular seeds have their own advantages. It’s up to you which kind of seeds you choose. We hope this article will make your decision a bit easier.
