The main difference between regular and feminized is the sex of the plant that will grow from them. Regular cannabis seeds can produce both male and female plants, while feminized seeds will produce only female plants. This is important for growers who want to harvest resinous buds, which are only produced by female plants. Male plants, on the other hand, produce pollen sacs that can fertilize female plants and cause them to produce seeds instead of buds. Regular cannabis seeds are produced by crossing male and female plants, which means they have a 50% chance of being either sex. Feminized-seeds are produced by inducing female plants to produce pollen, which is then used to pollinate other female plants. This way, the resulting seeds will have only female chromosomes, and will grow into female plants almost 100% of the time. Feminized-seeds are more expensive than regular seeds because they require a special breeding process. Regular-seeds are useful for breeders who want to create new strains or improve existing ones by crossing different cultivars. They also offer more genetic diversity and stability than feminized-seeds, which may have some hermaphroditic tendencies if exposed to stress. Feminized cannabis seeds are ideal for growers who want to ensure a high yield of buds without having to worry about identifying and removing male plants. They also save time and space, as they do not require a separate area for male plants or a change in the light cycle from the vegetative stage to trigger flowering.
