Feminized seeds

Why buy feminized seeds?

Feminized cannabis seeds or female weed seeds are known for their guaranteed yields. This means that each cannabis seed will grow into a plant with consumable buds, which is in contrast to regular seeds developing both male and female plants.

Because only female plants produce weed and male ones do not, 95% of cannabis growers choose to buy feminized seeds. Read more about the differences between regular and feminized cannabis seeds.

Characteristics of feminized seeds

As the name suggests, feminized marijuana seeds (or female cannabis seeds) are seeds that develop female strains who produce flowers (smokeable buds).

X and Y chromosomes

As with humans, X and Y chromosomes determine gender. Female seeds only have X chromosomes. Because of this, a female cannabis plant grows in 99.9% of the cases. "Feminized" therefore means that the seed has undergone the feminization process to grow only a female plant. This makes feminized seeds unique compared to regular seeds.

Who are feminized weed seeds suitable for?

Feminized cannabis seeds are suitable for:

Novice and advanced growers

Growing with feminized cannabis seeds is not very complicated. This is because you don't have to check the plants for male weed plants that can ruin the harvest. Moreover, there are also many autoflowering weed seeds that make the growing process even easier.
