Regular seed is the original weed used to cultivate marijuana plants. When you buy marijuana seeds at your garden store, it’s probably regular seed that you’re buying. Regular seed simply means that the plant has been in the ground long enough for it to germinate and grow into a quality marijuana plant. It may be cut from the mother plant or taken from another plant. Either way, it’s the same thing. Just because it has a seed tag or has a label doesn’t mean that it’s not marijuana seed that you’re buying.
Regular seed is like your ordinary plant seed. They haven’t been modified or changed in any way like genetic engineering to alter how their growing process works. That is, of course, unless it has been “bred” to produce certain desirable qualities. Simply put, regular seeds growing in the soil will naturally grow in the same way that nature intended.
Some seeds are produced by the pollen glands of a female plant. These seeds are known as female seeds because they are pollinated by the female reproductive system of the plant. A few examples of this are calcarea carbonifolia or the common leafy plant C. coccineum. Calcarea carbonifolia is normally found growing wild in the Mediterranean and the Caribbean and is rarely indoor.
Female seeds do not have any sperm. The pollen they produce, however, can be used as an embryo to form a hybrid and new variety of marijuana. Some hybrids of the common C. coccineum plant include the African Violets, Mexican Sativa, and the ever popular California Medano. Hybrid seeds, however, are much rarer than the seeds from a female plant.
In order to understand the differences between regular seeds and hybrid seeds, it is helpful to have an understanding of how marijuana is naturally grown. Plants reproduce through a process of fertilization and incision. Male plants produce a pollen capsule which contains the male reproductive organ, which is responsible for germination. This capsule is then swallowed down by the female plants to reproduce. After a small interval of time (sometimes as short as a day or two), a pollen dropper on the opposite end of the plant collects the pollen, which then becomes part of the plant’s reproductive system. The process of reproduction then repeats itself over again, until the plant is stressed to the point that the reproductive system stops working.
There are many different types of mechanisms that may result in the stopping of germination. Sometimes, this results from a change in the environment. Other times, it’s due to a genetic defect in the plants. There are many genetic defects in many common plants, making it difficult for growers to consistently grow them in the same way. It can be very frustrating for growers who are committed to using regular seeds.
Hybrid seed companies have solved this problem by crossing parents of the marijuana plant with other plants, creating a new generation of plants. When these hybrid seeds are created, the traits are combined into one breed. Because of this, the plants share the same characteristics, but have been changed so that they can be successfully grown in the same environment as other plants. Some companies breed their products specifically for specific uses, such as being used for indoor growing or outdoor growing. This helps ensure the plants will grow equally well no matter what kind of climate is present where they are located.
Some consumers don’t want to use seeds from hybrid plants. They would rather grow it the traditional way. But even when consumers choose to go with a traditional grower, it’s good to know that some strains of cannabis plant have been crossbred and created to be stronger or more versatile. Crossbreeding has resulted in many different strains that can be found in different parts of the world. The consumer can purchase seeds and start growing immediately, resulting in a great new product without a great deal of effort.
