CHAPTER 7

Marijuana Photoperiod Types

Marijuana growth reacts to changes in daylength. Specifically, certain plant types respond differently to light cycle changes, which occurs during the year. For example, the daytime in the summer in the northern hemisphere typically lasts much longer than in winter.

One important thing to remember with marijuana plants is that their reactions to photo-period changes are very visible. On paper, the processing of marijuana seeds seems straightforward, but you'll soon realize that not all marijuana seeds are the same when you start to dig deeper and learn more information. There are essentially three types of marijuana seeds:

Marijuana seed has different flora, yield, and growing demands. Beginners need to know how the seeds differ and the conditions they need to grow.

Let us, therefore, take a closer look at the various forms of marijuana seeds.

Feminized Sows

These seeds are genetically engineered, so no male parts are produced. When fully grown, they grow 95 percent of the time a whole female crop. Male plants have no seeds, very few THC, and are considered to harm THC production in female plants. Female plants are the only ones that produce flowers.

Female plants are comparable to male plants with many essential components of marijuana, such as CBD, THC, and CBN. Before being sold on the market, female seeds are also carefully tested and grown to ensure healthy and genetically compatible. However, most marijuana seed companies growing female seeds also skip this long and expensive process.

Feminized seeds are also converted into hermaphrodites, which means they contain male parts that generate pollen and lead to seeds. Feminized seeds often appear to have lower yields. The use of colloidal silver in the development of female seeds decreases the risk of hermaphrodites.

Many seasoned cultivators are not using feminized seeds and should never be used for breeding. This is because they have been created without true males; they are genetically inferior. Unlike standard seeds, farmers must not germinate with feminized seeds twice as many as all guaranteed females. Instead, you just have to go as far as you like.

Self-floral seeds

Self-flowing seeds are generated when a standard strain of ruderalis genes is added. Generally, these plants are smaller when grown, making them suitable for outdoor cultivation.

While most strains of marijuana flower at the end of the summer when the light drops due to shorter days, auto flowers change. These strains pass the flowering process even though they become a light for 24 hours.

Self-flowering seeds can mature in 10 weeks from beginning to end. There are also feminized self-flowing seeds that allow growers to pick without worrying about males quickly. Auto-floral seeds will produce 2 harvests throughout one season. However, cars typically have lower yields and poorer quality than normal or feminized crops.

Standard seeds

One male and one female parent produce daily seeds. When they mature, they become male or female plants. There is hardly anyone who can tell whether a normal seed becomes a male or a female. They are easier to distinguish as they reach the flowering stage.

It is safe to believe that you will get 50% masculine and 50% feminine seeds with normal seeds.
