Feminized seeds are cannabis seeds that have been bred to produce only female plants. Female plants are the ones that flower and produce the buds used for consumption. Male plants, which don’t yield usable flower, can also pollinate females and reduce overall yield — something most growers want to avoid. Feminized seeds remove this risk by eliminating male chromosomes through specialized breeding techniques. These seeds are ideal for maximizing yield and efficiency, especially for beginners and commercial cultivators.

Type Light Schedule Yield Flower Time Best For Feminized 12/12 light cycle High 8 to 12 weeks Indoor and outdoor grows Autoflower No light schedule Moderate 6 to 10 weeks Beginners and quick harvests Photoperiod Controlled lighting Very high 10+ weeks Experienced growers

Feminized seeds are photoperiod-dependent, meaning they require a change in light cycle to trigger flowering. Autoflower seeds, on the other hand, flower automatically after a few weeks regardless of lighting. While autoflowers are great for fast results, feminized seeds offer higher yields and are better suited for growers who want to maximize bud production.

Whether you’re growing indoors under LEDs or outdoors in a greenhouse, feminized seeds offer consistent results across all environments. Indoor growers prefer strains with compact structure, fast flowering time, and high resin production. Outdoor growers prioritize mold resistance, pest tolerance, and big yields.

Examples:

• Indoor: Blue Dream Feminized, Gelato Feminized
• Outdoor: Northern Dawn Feminized, Strawberry Cough Feminized

Cannabis plants thrive in well-aerated, nutrient-rich, and well-draining soil. For feminized seeds, this is especially important to maximize root health, nutrient uptake, and overall yield.

Recommended Soil Mixes:

• Loamy organic soil with compost
• Coco coir blended with perlite or vermiculite
• Peat moss-based mixes with added aeration

Ideal soil pH: 6.0 to 7.0. Test regularly. Use lime to raise pH or sulfur to lower it. For outdoor grows, amend native soil with compost, worm castings, and gypsum to improve structure and fertility.

Nutrient Needs by Phase:

• Vegetative Phase: High nitrogen (N), moderate phosphorus (P), moderate potassium (K)
• Pre-Flowering/Stretch: Reduce nitrogen slightly, increase phosphorus and potassium
• Flowering Phase: Low nitrogen, high phosphorus and potassium to support bud development

Supplement with calcium, magnesium, iron, silica, and boron throughout. Choose organic (compost teas, dry amendments) or synthetic (hydroponic solutions) based on your grow style.

Watering Tips:

• Water every 1 to 3 days depending on pot size, environment, and growth phase
• Use the "knuckle test" — soil should be dry one inch down before re-watering
• Ensure containers have proper drainage to prevent root rot

Alternative Mediums:

• Coco Coir: Renewable, inert, and great for water retention. Must be supplemented with full nutrients
• Living Soil: Supports microbial life for slow-release nutrition. Excellent for organic growers
• Hydroponics: Clean, efficient, and fast-growing but requires precise pH and EC control

pH and EC Monitoring:

• Always monitor pH (6.0–7.0 in soil, 5.5–6.5 in hydro)
• Use an EC (electrical conductivity) meter to manage nutrient strength, especially in hydroponics

Strain selection is a key factor in achieving the results you want from your cannabis grow. Whether you're looking for relaxing indica effects, stimulating sativa highs, or balanced hybrids, understanding genetics will help you make informed choices.

• Indica strains tend to be short, bushy, and fast-flowering. Ideal for indoor grows or colder climates, they typically offer a more sedative body effect
• Sativa strains grow taller, take longer to flower, and thrive in warm, sunny conditions. Effects are generally uplifting and cerebral
• Hybrids combine traits from both and are often tailored to deliver specific cannabinoid or terpene profiles

Look for strains with high THC for potent recreational effects or balanced THC:CBD profiles for medical use. Terpene content also affects aroma, flavor, and experience—think citrusy limonene for energy or earthy myrcene for relaxation.

We recommend checking strain datasheets and filtering by:

• Flowering time
• THC/CBD content
• Effect (relaxing, creative, euphoric)
• Flavors
• Yield Range

Homegrown offers mixed packs and curated starter kits to help new growers explore different genetics before committing to a full run.

Every feminized strain we offer is the result of selective breeding and rigorous genetic testing. Our partners conduct phenohunt trials, lab verification, and stress tests to ensure consistent, stable traits in every pack.

While some breeders pursue third-party certifications like LeafWorks, our internal QA standards ensure germination rates over 98%, tight phenotype expression, and minimal risk of intersex traits. This level of consistency gives growers confidence from seed to harvest.

If you're looking for reliable female-only plants, our genetically stabilized strains have been adapted for American climates and rigorously verified for purity.

Homegrown’s feminized seeds are bred for U.S. climates and growing conditions. From California to Colorado to Maine, our genetics are stabilized to handle different humidity levels, temperature swings, and grow seasons. We guarantee germination on all orders and ship discreetly nationwide.

Because feminized seeds are photoperiod-based, understanding your local light schedule and grow calendar is important. We also offer region-specific guides to help you choose the right strains.

Feminized seeds are produced by inducing a female cannabis plant to produce pollen — which is then used to fertilize another female. This is done through one of three main methods:

• Colloidal Silver: A solution sprayed on plants to suppress ethylene, triggering pollen production
• Silver Thiosulfate (STS): A more aggressive chemical reversal that reliably creates male flowers on female plants
• Rodelization: A natural, less reliable method where plants under stress self-pollinate near the end of their life cycle

The result is seeds that carry only female genetics, reducing waste and eliminating the need to sex plants.

Hermaphroditism is when a cannabis plant develops both male and female reproductive organs, which can lead to self-pollination and seed formation in the buds — reducing quality and yield. While feminized seeds are engineered to grow female plants, there is a small risk of hermaphroditism if the plant experiences significant stress.

Common stressors that can trigger hermaphroditism include:

• Inconsistent light schedules
• Physical damage to the plant
• Nutrient deficiencies or toxicities
• Extreme temperature or humidity changes

To minimize the risk:

• Maintain stable environmental conditions
• Use high-quality soil and nutrients
• Avoid topping or training during flower
• Regularly inspect for male flowers and remove them immediately

At Homegrown, our feminized seeds undergo rigorous quality control including lab testing for genetic stability. We only work with verified breeders and offer a germination guarantee to ensure reliability. While no seed is 100% immune to hermaphroditism, our certified processes reduce this risk significantly.

Choosing a trustworthy seed supplier is critical to your success as a grower. Here’s what to look for in a reputable source:

✅ Green Flags:

• Germination guarantee clearly stated on the website
• Lab-tested genetics with certification (e.g., LeafWorks)
• Transparent contact information and return policy
• Customer reviews on-site and from third-party platforms

❌ Red Flags:

• No guarantee or refund policy
• Vague or missing strain data
• Suspiciously low prices without breeder verification
• Lack of lab testing or certification
• Poorly designed or anonymous website

Seed Storage: Short and Long Term:
Proper storage helps preserve your feminized seeds' viability. Here’s how to store them effectively:

Short-Term (0–6 months):

• Use airtight containers (glass jars or vacuum-sealed bags)
• Add silica gel packs to control humidity
• Store in a cool, dark, dry cabinet (60–70°F)

Long-Term (6+ months):

• Store in a sealed container with a desiccant
• Refrigerate (not freeze) at 40–45°F
• Avoid temperature fluctuations
• Label each strain with the date and details for tracking

Common Storage and Buying Mistakes:

• Buying from unverified or grey-market seed banks
• Leaving seeds exposed to light or moisture
• Storing in ziplock bags or fluctuating environments (garages, windowsills)
• Freezing seeds without vacuum-sealing and full humidity control
• Using unlabeled or mixed containers

• Germination Paper Test: Place between moist paper towels for 24–72 hours in a warm, dark spot to test sprouting potential 

What does feminized mean in seeds?

Feminized seeds are bred to grow into female cannabis plants, which are the ones that produce flowers or buds.

Are feminized seeds always female?

When bred and grown correctly, feminized seeds have a 99%+ chance of producing female plants.

Can you get seeds from feminized plants?

Yes, if a feminized plant is stressed or chemically reversed, it can produce pollen and self-seed. However, it’s not ideal for stable genetics.

Are feminized seeds photoperiod?

Yes, most feminized seeds are photoperiod, meaning they require specific light cycles to enter the flowering phase.

Should I grow feminized or autoflower?

It depends on your goals. Autoflowers are faster and easier; feminized seeds take longer but produce bigger yields.
