Feminized Seeds

Also known as: feminised, fem seeds

Seeds bred to produce only female plants (the bud-bearing ones), eliminating the need to identify and remove males.

Feminized seeds are produced by inducing a female plant to make pollen, then using it to pollinate another female. The offspring inherit two X chromosomes and grow into female plants over 99% of the time. Because only female plants produce the cannabinoid-rich flowers growers want, feminized seeds remove the male-removal step, saving roughly half the grow space and labor versus regular seeds. They are the most popular seed type for home and commercial growers alike.
