Your first grow can be a bit overwhelming. What kind of strain should you use? What kind of soil? Should you use feminized, or auto-flowering? There are many things to consider when choosing your first grow. Hopefully, the information here will better help to understand these intricacies. Knowing the right strain for your first grow is the key.
This guide reflects 5 easy to grow marijuana strains for your first grow.
Marijuana is not a complex lifeform. As such, it can be either sex at any given time; that is, it does not favor one
sex over the other. Furthermore, every plant has the potential to produce flowers from the opposite sex.
There is a survival mechanism within marijuana’s DNA structuring. Certain plants can become intersexual under different
stresses; such as: temperature instability, light cycle changes, damage, and etc. When the chance for survival decreases, marijuana’s survival mechanism
will kick in.
In its most basic form, feminized seeds only produce female plants. These seeds are the result of a culmination of many years;
perfecting, the feminizing method to a tee.
Modern feminized seeds will produce female plants on a consistent basis. Today, it is rare for a feminized seed to become a hermaphrodite (producing male flowers under stress); whereas, in earlier years, this sort of thing was a little more common.
Today’s, feminized plants have small tendency to become hermaphrodite. Marijuana genome (complete DNA structuring)will dictate the tendency leans for any given plant. In essence, the genome decides if the plant will lean toward high or low tendencies in becoming a
Photoperiod flowering plants require a set of light rules; in order, to begin the flowering stage. With marijuana, this
rule set is the lack of light, thereof. Usually, after the summer solstice, when the nights become longer, the flowering stage of marijuana begins. Light
versus dark hours are the magic formula for the photoperiod. With autoflowering plants, however, this rule set becomes obsolete.
Marijuana, having autoflowering characteristics, will begin to flower after it reaches a certain developmentalstage. Usually, within two to three weeks, flowers will begin forming. In return, full plant harvest can occur somewhere around ten weeks. Typically,
yields will be a bit lower for autoflowering plants versus photoperiod plants.
Feminized
plants come from feminized seeds. Autoflowering plants are the result of the plant type. In other words, not all strains of marijuana have autoflowering characteristics. Feminized seeds, on the other hand, should always produce a female plant. Additionally, feminized seeds can have autoflowering
characteristics.
Different growers have different preferences. Some growers might be great with handling feminized plants, but struggle to grow autoflowering plants, or vice-versa. The fact is, however, it’s really about taking the time to learn the curve, associated to each plant type. A little time spent learning always helps. Understanding the strain is what matters. Overall, feminized and autoflowering plants are the best choices for first time growers.

strains for a first grow. With each strain catering to a set of specific needs, there are great choices among each one of them, respectively.
Understanding the differences between feminized and autoflowering, growing becomes less of a chore, and more of a fun
