F1 Hybrid weed seeds

Why choose F1 hybrid cannabis seeds?

Whether you choose feminized seeds or autoflowers, chances are that it is a hybrid strain. After all, the most popular cannabis varieties are created from an optimal mix of existing strains. By crossing pure varieties with each other, new species are created that possess the best properties and effects.

Not only are new marijuana strains being experimented with for recreational and medicinal use, but marijuana has also become an important ingredient for CBD oils and various cosmetic products.

Advantages and disadvantages of hybrid seeds

✔ Assured of the best quality
✔ Size and yield of the plant is optimized
✔ The growth process has been manipulated so that the flowering time has been shortened
✔ Plants have been made more resistant to fungi and/or diseases
✔ Often these strains are easy and successful to grow. Especially when it concerns autoflowers
✔ Taste, smell and effect are improved

Characteristics of hybrid seeds

Like all other plants, cannabis plants exist in pure form or as a mix of two or more species. When the genetics of the seeds are manipulated by humans, we speak of hybrid seeds.

Differences in hybrid cannabis varieties

We distinguish five different types of hybrids:

• Mix of Indica & Indica: a cross between two Indica varieties
• Sativa & Sativa mix: a cross between two Sativa strains
• Sativa & Indica mix: a cross between a Sativa and Indica in which the Sativa is dominant
• Mix of Indica x Sativa: a cross of an Indica and Sativa in which the Indica is dominant
• Autoflowering: a cross of one of the above combinations, where the hybrid is crossed with ruderalis genetics to create an autoflowering.

How are hybrid cannabis seeds created?

Creating new cannabis strains follows a set process. Breeders choose a male and female plant that possess popular traits and that should be reflected in the final hybrid strain. The male plant pollinates the female plant to then collect the seeds from the female plant and germinate them again. These initial seeds are also called F1 hybrid cannabis seeds.

The process of re-pollinating, recapturing the seeds, re-growing and re-pollinating is repeated until the intended results are achieved. This often requires three or more generations. Finally, the new hybrid must be stabilized. This is done by crossing the new hybrid with its parents.

To ensure that the new species retains its characteristics, an asexual reproduction process is used. This includes cloning, cuttings and division of roots.
