Autoflowering Vs. Feminized Seeds: What’s The Difference?

If you’re a first-time grower, you may be wondering what the difference is between autoflowering and feminized seeds. Both types of seeds have their pros and cons, so it can be tough to decide which one is right for you. In this post, we will discuss the differences between autoflowering and feminized cannabis seeds, so you can make an informed decision about which type of seed is best for your needs.

 

Autoflowering Cannabis Seeds

 

Autoflowering cannabis seeds are a type of seed that will begin to flower automatically, without the need for a change in the light cycle. This means that autoflowering seeds are easier to grow than traditional seeds, as you don’t have to worry about controlling the light cycle. Autoflowering seeds are also a good choice for growers who don’t have a lot of experience, as they are less likely to make mistakes that could result in the plants not flowering. These plants tend to harvest quicker. They also tend to be taller and less bushy plants.

 

Feminized Cannabis Seeds

 

Cannabis seeds that have been developed to solely produce female plants are known as feminized seeds. Feminized seeds are a good choice for growers who want to ensure that they only get female plants, as all of the plants grown from feminized seeds will be female. This can be beneficial for growers who want to avoid having to deal with male plants, as they can take up space and resources without producing any buds. Feminized seeds are the most popular kind and are highly recommended for indoor and outdoor growers.

 

Regular Cannabis Seeds

 

Regular cannabis seeds have not been feminized or autoflowering. They will grow into either male or female plants, so you will need to identify the sex of your plants and remove the males if you want to avoid pollination.

 

Now that you know the difference between autoflowering and feminized seeds, you can make an informed decision about which type of seed is best for your needs. If you’re a first-time grower, we recommend starting with autoflowering seeds. If you want to ensure that all of your plants are female, feminized seeds are the way to go!
