Growing cannabis in your home is legal in an increasing number of states and provinces throughout the United States and Canada. To make starting a home garden easy, growers can start with feminized seeds.

There are numerous advantages for growers who start their garden using feminized seeds. By removing the guesswork of germinating regular seeds, feminized seeds streamline the growing process, saving space and time.

That efficiency is key for medical cannabis patients and hobby growers. Since most cannabis regulations limit plant counts, growers cultivating a small crop of cannabis for personal use want to ensure they’re getting the most out of their grow.

Benefits of feminized seeds

Feminized seeds develop female plants. This prevents pollination of male plants.

Every plant will grow smokable cannabis

Optimum utilization of the available space

Feminized seeds are almost 100% free of hermaphrodites.

Higher weed production than autoflowers

The quality of the taste and the effect is generally better than with autoflowers

Plants from feminized seeds produce fewer leaves than autoflowers

In contrast to autoflowers, non-autoflowers (female plants) can be pruned

Gorilla Glue was created accidentally by two breeders—a mistake that resulted in one of the most impressive strains out there. The product of parent strains Chem’s Sister and Chocolate Diesel is an indica-dominant variety with a powerful personality. She offers potent hits fuelled by THC quantities of over 25%. The high is extremely stoning and relaxes the body. The flowers offer pleasant tastes and scents of lemon, wood, pine, and sweetness. Gorilla Glue also contains a small percentage of CBD, which contributes to the relaxing effects.

Gorilla Glue grows to tall heights both indoors and out. This strain has a flowering time of 9–10 weeks, with outdoor plants ready for harvest at the end of September.

Girl Scout Cookies is a high-performing indica-dominant strain that offers significant levels of THC around 23%. This load leads to a high that comes on very fast with effects that last long. The stoning and hazy indica high will induce red eyes, massive appetite, and quality sleep. Girl Scout Cookies gets her name from her sweet, earthy, and dessert-like aromas and tastes. The strain was produced via the pairing of parent strains Durban Poison and OG Kush.

Girl Scout Cookies grows to a height of 85–105cm indoors and offers a yield of up to 500g/m². When cultivated outdoors, this plant can reach a height of up to 190cm, and a single specimen can put out a yield of up to 475g. Outdoor plants will be ready for the axe during October.

Even if you are new to smoking, chances are you’ve heard the name OG Kush. This legendary strain stems from California, the breeding ground of many stellar genetics. She was sired via the merging of parent strains Chemdawg, Lemon Thai, and Pakistani Kush. This ambitious breeding project created a high-THC strain loaded with flavours of contrasting sweetness and sourness.

OG Kush offers an impressive indoor yield of up to 500–600g/m² and high yields when grown outdoors too. All the same, she reaches moderate heights and is pretty easy to manage in various grow environments. After a flowering time of 8 weeks, outdoor plants are ready for harvest.

This lady is another well-known name within the cannabis world, earning her title due to her compact buds that are frosted over with dense layers of resin-producing trichomes. White Widow has been around since the ‘90s and is believed to have been brought into being by breeding a pure Brazilian landrace sativa with an Indian indica. White Widow offers a potent high, thanks in part to her high levels of THC. Her medium level of CBD contributes to a relaxing and calming effect.
