Feminized cannabis seeds are seeds that have been hormonally treated to produce only female cannabis plants. Normally, cannabis plants have a sexual division, with male plants producing pollen and female plants producing flowers. By producing feminized seeds, the probability of obtaining male plants is eliminated, ensuring that all germinated seeds will result in female plants.
This is beneficial for growers because female plants are the ones that produce flowers rich in desirable cannabinoids, such as THC and CBD, which are used for recreational or medicinal purposes. By eliminating male plants, growers avoid the risk of unwanted pollination, which can reduce the yield and quality of the flowers.
Feminized cannabis seeds are widely used in both commercial and domestic cultivation as they guarantee a higher production of flowers with high cannabinoid levels. The choice of quality seeds and proper care during cultivation remain important factors in achieving good results.
