What are Feminized Seeds?

Feminized cannabis seeds yield female plantsAs such, growers who wish to through bud production choose to grow female cannabis seeds.

We offer feminized seeds to make the cultivation process easier, albeit at a slightly higher cost. The higher prices stem from the sex reversal process that utilizes frequent foliar spray applications during breeding.

Feminized vs. Regular Seeds

Regular seeds sprout 50% male cannabis plants and 50% female plants. Male cannabis plants produce no buds. They have pollen and a powerful desire to pass that pollen to nearby female plants for seed production. By growing female cannabis seeds, you avoid the risk of male plants pollinating nearby females.

“Sinsemilla” or seedless cannabis is highly desirable. Opening up a jar of fine sinsemilla is a pleasurable experience. There’s no better feeling than knowing that you got premium sinsemilla by growing Cannabis from seed.

Seedless cannabis produces than seeded cannabis. The pollination of a female plant shifts energy from forming rich flowers to creating the healthiest offspring possible

While we certainly appreciate Mary Jane’s dedication to survival, sometimes it’s best to avoid the risk of male pollination altogether. To do this, we recommend buying feminized cannabis seeds.

Why Buy Feminized cannabis Seeds?

When choosing between regular and feminized cannabis seeds, there are a few things to consider. Will you have the time and space to pre-sex your cannabis plants before transitioning into the flowering stage?

Significant factors when buying cannabis seeds include the size of your garden, and the time you’re willing to invest. Large cultivation operations often have difficulty pulling all males before it’s too late. Grow tents lack the room to grow male plants that will eventually be discarded.

Additionally, consider your permissible plant count. Many legal states allow only six plants per adult and household. You may not want to fill up your quota with plants that won’t produce cannabis buds. In this case, we recommend buying feminized cannabis seeds.

How to Make Feminized Seeds

Growers unfamiliar with cannabis breeding may wonder how to make feminized cannabis seeds. The process revolves around the foliar application of a silver-based solution during the flowering portion of the breeding stage.

Colloidal Silver and Cannabis

At Greenpoint Seeds, we use colloidal silver to produce our feminized seeds. The colloidal silver method is the most effective way of breeding high-quality seeds for sale.

Colloidal silver works by inhibiting ethylene production required by female cannabis plants to form flowers. The inhibition causes female plants to form male pollen sacs. We use the fem pollen produced by these sacs to pollinate other female plants and, in turn, create feminized seeds.

This time-consuming and expensive process results in 99.99% female seeds.
