Thanks to their genetic qualities, it's possible to calculate the size of the crop even before beginning germination.
In case you have no idea, all feminized cannabis seeds are female, which is precisely why you can know the size of the crop before germination. Moreover, they become the perfect seed because there will be no need for sexing. If you want to know how to choose the best seed, keep reading! I'll tell you all the details.
Can feminized seeds be grown outdoors and indoors?
The particularity of feminized seeds is that they are very easy to grow. Experts prefer them because they can be used for both outdoor and indoor cultivation and in greenhouses. Additionally, it's possible to grow various varieties in the same space because it won't impede any of their processes.
However, it's important to consider that to cultivate several seeds in the same space, one must have experience because they won't have the same flowering and growth time. In this sense, you should vary the doses of fertilizers according to the truth of the seed.
To achieve the expected results, the soil should always be nutrient-rich with good water drainage and aeration. You can also add earthworm humus, trichoderma, mycorrhizae, and perlite to promote good development.
On the other hand, it's essential that cannabis nutrients have doses of nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus, as well as magnesium, iron, and calcium.
How to choose the best feminized seed?
Undoubtedly, choosing the right seeds can be a task that represents a bit of anxiety when you lack knowledge. There are many varieties, such as the permanent marker strain, but here I'll give you the details to take into account so that your choice is the best.
One of the most positive aspects of the current sale is that now you don't have to worry much about whether a seed germinates or not, as banks offer variants that will always germinate as long as the process has been done correctly. Now, seeds can be classified in two ways, these are:
Photodependent
This type of seed makes its growth and flowering cycle according to the hours of light it receives. That means it requires at least 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness during its growth stage; during flowering, they will need only 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness.
It's a variant that, although it can be regular, is also feminized and that in countries where the light hours are 12 all year round, will grow until they are adults and then begin to flower. This will prevent you from taking advantage of all its benefits, so it's recommended to use artificial light to reach the 18 hours it requires and achieve its maximum potential.
Autoflowering
Regarding Autoflowering seeds, they begin their flowering process immediately after the second/fourth week of growth regardless of the hours of light received. They are very good plants for outdoor cultivation and in reduced spaces. Best of all, with Autoflowering, in just two and a half to three months, you can have your first harvest.
Which option to choose?
Considering the characteristics of each type of seed, it will depend on what you want to plant and the results you need to choose one or the other. Particularly, I prefer that the buyer makes their choice based on their needs to achieve totally effective results.
