Cannabis Seeds Breeders
When browsing the databases of marijuana varieties, you may wonder what a cross is, what a hybrid or a backcross is. All of this has to do with plant breeding - essentially, breeding a male and female plant to combine or refine the genetics of two plants or strains. The breeding of two different strains will often result in a new variety or hybrid. Cannabis growers typically breed to cleanse and enhance strains, combine varietal traits, or enhance specific traits, such as higher yields, specific aromas, potency, and many more desired by the breeder.
When growing and breeding, it's important to know where your seeds are coming from and what genetics they have. If a seed breeder can't give you a detailed history of growing your variety or what they have been bred with, you never really know what you're getting. Plant breeding is the basic cannabis cultivation process that is becoming more and more popular as legalization increases. You can even do it yourself. Hemp plants can be male or female. Marijuana consumers are mostly interested in female plants, as only female plants produce the sticky buds we all know and love. But male cannabis plants are important to the reproductive process because they are needed to pollinate female bud-producing plants.
