What Are Feminised Seeds?

Feminised seeds are nothing more than a product of genetic engineering and a beautiful fruit of the scientific advancement of the cannabis industry. While traditionally, seeds grow to become either female plants or male cannabis plants, feminised seeds are genetically manipulated in such a way that results in them growing into female weed plants only.

Why Should You Buy Feminised Cannabis Seeds?

While seeds that have been feminised tend to be more expensive than regular marijuana seeds, they’re just too convenient not to buy them. First of all, if you buy feminised seeds, you don’t need to worry about pollen-producing plants appearing in your garden and ruining your harvest.

Plus, despite the difference in price that can be traced in the UK cannabis market, buying feminised marijuana seeds will actually help you save money. If you choose seeds that are feminised, you won’t have to buy ten or fifteen regular cannabis seeds in the hopes that at least five of them will grow into females. Instead, just get yourself five fem seeds, and in return, you’ll have five perfect female plants.

Pros and Cons of Feminised Seeds

Despite providing mostly advantages to growers, fem seeds have certain drawbacks as well. Let’s take a look at both the pros and cons of growing such seeds.

Pros of feminised seeds:

No need to buy extra seeds, as is the case with regular weed seeds.
No need to sex the growing plants. Hence, feminised cannabis seeds save you time.
No risk of accidental pollination of your crop by male cultivars.
Feminised cannabis seeds grow into cannabis plants with the highest cannabinoid content.
Perfect for beginner growers due to the easier cultivation process.
In addition to their high sprouting rate and low risk of hermaphrodite plants, feminised seeds also tend to produce plants with consistent and predictable characteristics.

Cons of female pot seeds:

Not suitable for people attempting to breed cannabis.
Feminised cannabis has limited cloning abilities.

What Is the Difference Between Autoflowering and Feminised Seeds?

Feminised cannabis seeds are bred to produce only female plants, eliminating the possibility of male plants that don't produce buds but pollen. Meanwhile, autoflower seeds are genetically modified to start flowering on their own based on their internal clocks or age, without the need for a specific light cycle.
In terms of growing, autoflowering seeds are generally easier to manage and produce faster results, while feminised seeds offer a better guarantee of an all-female crop, which is important for maximizing yield.

How to Germinate Feminised Marijuana Seeds

Seeds that have been feminised are no different from any other cannabis seeds when it comes to germinating them. Herbies always stores their cannabis seeds in perfect conditions to ensure a quick and easy germination process. Most cannabis cultivators tend to sprout feminised cannabis seeds using the classic paper towel method, which has been used by generations of growers. Here’s what you need to do to propagate female marijuana seeds:

how to germinate feminized marijuana seeds

Place your cannabis seed on a clean paper towel.
Fold the paper towel in half so that it covers the cannabis seed from the top and bottom.
Lightly spray the paper towel with clean water to moisten it.
Place the paper towel with the seed on a clean plate, and cover this with another plate to create an airtight, dark, and safe space.
Wait for 1-2 days until the seed germinates (older seeds can take longer, up to a week or even 10 days, so be patient). Make sure the paper towel remains moist.

Recommended Temperature and Humidity for Growing Feminised Marijuana

When it comes to comfortable living conditions, people and cannabis are very much alike – both prefer a moderate climate. However, the exact preferable conditions may vary depending on the strain, so practically any UK resident can pick the perfect strain for their particular environment.

In general, feminised cannabis thrives best in temperatures ranging between 21-24 °C. It’s advised to keep plants in this range to avoid cannabis health problems. However, some cannabis strains love to experience “freeze shock” closer to the end of their cycle. Usually, this is done to boost its potency and reveal blue and purple hues. However, before doing so, be sure to read the breeder’s recommendations.

As for humidity, the recommended level for female marijuana will depend on the plant’s life cycle stage. Normally, seedlings and cannabis in veg prefer humidity levels around 60%. On the other hand, the flowering stage usually requires air humidity levels of 40-50% to reduce the risk of mold.

Which Soil Is Best to Use for Growing Feminized Seeds?

Feminised cannabis plants during vegetation will feel the best and yield the most in nutrient-rich, light, and well-aerated soil. Store-bought soil mixes are normally well-suited for growing cannabis. However, if you want to give your marijuana plant some special treatment, prepare a home-made mix from the following ingredients:

Mix everything together and soak it for two days in pure water, keeping the soil mix wet constantly. Make sure your soil is mostly dry before transplanting your plant.

Note: This homemade soil is super nutrient-rich and shouldn't be used for seeds, seedlings, or clones – keep it for mature plants in the vegetative or flowering stage. If you use autoflowering seeds, this mix can be nutrient-sufficient for the whole cycle.

Life Cycle of Female Seeds

The life cycle of feminised cannabis includes six major stages, which are:

Germination. The feminised seed pops and becomes a sprout, which is then planted in the soil.
Seedling. In the soil, the feminised seed becomes a seedling. It will soon shed its husk and grow its first pair of leaves.
Vegetation. The vegetative stage is the period of the weed plant’s most potency and growth. Week by week, it’s going to become bigger and more mature, until it’s finally ready to procreate and grow buds.
Flowering. During the flowering time, which begins when the plant starts receiving 12 or fewer hours of light per day, the feminised plants will stretch a little more. Thanks to feminization, all of them will be female and will form smokable sinsemilla flowers.
Harvest. When the trichomes on the buds turn from milky-white to amber, it’s time to harvest your feminised weed! Do it on time to reap the best quality and potency.
Drying and curing. Freshly harvested buds will need some time in a dark, dry area to rest, amplify the aroma, and make the smoke smooth on your throat.

Required Amount of Light

With some feminised varieties being autoflowering cannabis, most feminised seeds are still photoperiod, meaning they will need 14-20 hours of light during the vegetative stage and 12 during the flowering stage. While the sun is a perfect resource of light for growing marijuana, indoor cultivation can yield great harvests under artificial light as well.

Nutrients for Cannabis

N-P-K are three very important letters to anyone who wants to successfully grow pot in the United Kingdom or anywhere else. They stand for nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium – the three macronutrients essential for pot, the feminised kind included. It’s also important to know that during the vegetative stage, weed plants require more nitrogen, while during the flowering stage, they become especially hungry for potassium and phosphorus.

Besides N-P-K, feminised cannabis also requires a list of certain micronutrients such as iron, calcium, copper, magnesium, etc. We recommend using cannabis-specific nutrients. These usually come in different packages for the vegetative and flowering stages, guarantee the best results, and are easy to use.

Feminised Seed Yields

The yield size of feminised seed strains is in no way inferior to that of regular seeds. Here, everything is going to vary greatly from plant to plant because of several attributing factors, including genetics, light, and nutrients.
