What Are Feminized Cannabis Seeds?

Feminized cannabis seeds are genetically altered so that they produce only female plants in at least 99,9% of the cases. This forms a great advantage as only female cannabis plants produce flowers or buds. The male cannabis plants don't produce flowers but only pollen, contain little THC and can even influence the production of THC of female plants.

The female cannabis plant produces considerably more working substances or cannabinoids such as THC, CBD, CBG and CBN and terenes than a male cannabis plant. Suzy Seeds only sells feminized cannabis seeds. Before bringing the seeds on the market, they are first thoroughly tested in a lab and further cultivated, so that we are sure that our seeds are genetically stable and consistent.

Suzy’s Tip: You can only smoke the flowers of female plants, so only buy feminised seeds.

Then you are (almost entirely) sure that you are only cultivating female plants. The gender of the plant is determined by two chromosomes, namely the X and Y chromosome. A plant with two X chromosomes becomes feminine or female and a plant with an X and Y chromosome becomes male. How are Feminized seeds produced? Feminized cannabis seeds are made by means of gibberellic acid (a hormone found in plants). Because of this, the female plant is forced to produce male flowers. The female plant becomes hermaphrodite and this makes it possible to produce seeds that have two x chromosomes and are thus female.
