Are Feminized Seeds Photoperiod?
Yep — feminized seeds are photoperiod unless they’re labeled as autoflower. That just means they need a change in light cycle to trigger the flowering stage. So if you’re growing indoors, you’ll flip them from 18/6 to 12/12 when you’re ready for them to start producing buds. Outdoors, they’ll naturally start flowering as the days get shorter toward the end of summer.
The whole point of feminized seeds is that they grow into female plants (the ones that actually produce usable buds) — but the photoperiod part just tells you how they flower, not if they’re female. So if you’re looking for full control over when your cultivars flower and don’t mind managing the light schedule, feminized photoperiods are where it’s at.
Do Feminized Seeds Yield Less Potent Plants?
Nope, not at all. Feminized seeds don’t affect the potency of your plants—they just make your life easier. These seeds are bred to grow into female plants, which are the ones that actually produce buds. So you’re not wasting time or space on males that you’ll just end up tossing. The genetics are the same as any other cultivar, so if you're working with a solid strain and growing in decent conditions, you can still pull high THC levels and strong flavor profiles. The real difference comes down to how you grow and what kind of environment you’re working with—not whether the seed was feminized.
Can Feminized Seeds Turn Hermie?
Yeah, they can. Feminized seeds are bred to grow into female plants, but that doesn’t mean they’re immune to stress. If you’re pushing them too hard—like messing with the light cycle, overfeeding, underwatering, or cranking up the heat—they can flip and show some herm traits. Basically, when a plant feels like it’s in danger, it can try to self-pollinate to survive. That’s when you might see a few bananas or pollen sacs pop up.
Good genetics help lower the risk, but no seed is totally herm-proof. If you're running feminized cultivars, keep your grow space dialed in and stay consistent. A chill, low-stress environment goes a long way in keeping things female all the way through.
