Questions about Feminized Seeds
What are feminized cannabis seeds?
Feminized seeds are botanical jewels that guarantee photoperiod cannabis plants genetically modified to produce only female flowers. The seeds are meticulously selected to guarantee an efficient development.
How to develop feminized seeds
To develop feminized seeds you must choose the genetics that best suits your tastes and particularities.
Keep in mind that the development of feminized seeds will depend on the hours of light, that is to say, in indoor development you set the pace of the plant, and outdoors you must make sure that your climate is suitable for its great development.
How long does it take for a feminized plant to develop?
To know how long it takes to develop a feminized plant I have to name its three phases: germination, development and flowering. The germination phase generally takes 2 to 5 days. The development begins with a photoperiod 18/6 (hours of light / hours of darkness) and its duration will depend on the type of seed or the development you want to provide, usually lasts between 6 to 8 weeks. Finally, in its flowering phase it needs a period of light of 12 h/12 h to start flowering and is usually ready in 7 to 12 weeks depending on the variety.
When to harvest a feminized plant?
To know when to harvest the feminized cannabis plant will depend on the genetics you are developing. The way to find out will be: By looking at the time of harvest that has marked the seed bank where you have chosen your seed. Look at your bud and see if it has increased in size.
Observe the pistils (white hairs) and if most of them change from white to amber.or brown, it is indicating that it is ready. If you have a magnifying glass look at the trichomes, first they will be transparent, then milky, and finally when there is a 30% amber, it will be ready for harvesting. Experience is the best guide. Experiment with harvesting at different times to that you can find the best profile in effects and flavors for you.
