You might think that it is simple to choose female seeds but that is not the case. In fact, unless the seeds are feminized and separated, you cannot really differentiate female seeds from the male seeds. This is the reason why most cannabis growers refuse to gamble and they just buy feminized seeds instead.
Aside from the reason mentioned above, these are the reasons why choosing a female or feminized seeds will bring about a number of benefits. Before that though, know that feminized seeds are those kinds of seeds where the genetic structures are changed when bred. This way, a female plant is assured from each of them.
Here are the benefits of feminized seeds:

While you will need to pull out male plants later wasting the vacated space, that is not the case with feminized seeds of course. As mentioned, you will be assured of female plants from each of them thus no space will be wasted.
-
Another reason is that if you choose feminized seeds, there will be no need for you to check them that often than if you don’t. It is also said that feminized seeds are actually at the same level as the regular seeds thus they have the same chances of becoming mother plants.

According to the experts, feminized seed strains are also great to harvest in a highly efficient manner. It is actually just a basic as well as simple concept, yet the difference is quite noticeable. Whether you will have the cannabis outdoors or indoors, feminized seeds assure that every space is used in the most productive manner since you know that each plant will produce marijuana.
