Female Marijuana SeedsIf you've been looking at the prices of street cannabis lately, you will have noticed a steep increase in the price per 100 grams. This is because of the crackdown on illegal drugs (in countries where the drug is actually illegal) and because of shortages which develop at certain times of the year. These are simply factors of the currency market, and if you have been buying your marijuana from elsewhere - you will have been subject to these factors.
Why be reliant on other people though? If you have the opportunity to plant a few marijuana plants, and then finish your garden off with a few feminized marijuana seeds - then why not go for it? In this article we will take a look at the benefits of doing this and see the ways that we can benefit most from using feminized marijuana seeds.
Why Feminized Marijuana Seeds?
A lot of people ask what the difference is between normal and feminized marijuana seeds. We have discussed this a lot in the past, but will go through it again to offer more clarity.
You need to understand how plants reproduce to understand the concept of a feminized plant. Basically, the yield, type, variety, and characteristics of the plant remain unchanged between male and female versions (although this is sometimes disputed). The only difference is the way that the plants interact during the germination process.
Take for example a feminized marijuana seed which is paired with a male marijuana seed. When these plants develop and are finally fully grown, you would expect a hybrid to develop which represented an exact cross between those two plants. This is indeed the case for the majority of cases where a male plant is specifically paired with a female variety.
Do Feminized Marijuana Seeds cost more?
There is also quite a bit of debate as to the price variation between male and female marijuana plants. This is interesting, because there is no clear difference.
It seems to be the case that the following rings true when it comes to comparing the two:
" All characteristics are the same.
" Feminized marijuana plants do not grow faster.
" Yield remains the same (a study proved this).
" When looking at the price, some manufacturers artificially pump up the prices of the feminized plants.
This final point is an important one. When shopping for feminized marijuana seeds online, you need to be on the lookout for sites which are charging huge amounts more for this type of plant than for a male version, for example.
This is because ultimately, some sites do get away from it. However, if you are shopping with the big stores (and therefore the reputable ones) - you shouldn't really see any difference in the price. If you do, you should take note of the variety, as it is definitely the case that different varieties require different amounts for a pack of seeds.
Hopefully this information has helped you to get on your way to growing a successful plant from feminized marijuana seeds in your back yard!
