Marijuana Seeds Genetics Importance for Growing and Yielding

I often get questions from growers asking why their plants have little or no yield or look kind of strange. Besides obvious marijuana growing mistakes and often lack of strong enough light there is a very important factor: the origins of marijuana seeds used to grow the cannabis plants mentioned.

Most growers belive that any marijuana seed is a good seed and if grown properly it will produce great plant and considerable yield. Well, it's not that simple my friends, when genetics and lack of cross pollination comes in the way. You don't know how many growers loose months of time and hundreds of dollars to grow seeds they found in a pot bag or they just got from a friend who grew them accidentally. Most of them end up with weak, strange looking marijuana plants with practically no existent yield. Why? The simple answer is those seeds usually come from self inbreeded cannabis gardens that were usually propagated in a vegetative way i.e. by cloning. This means our seed parents are brothers and sisters or even identical clones made from one mother plant. In genetic science this situation is called self pollination or one line inbreeding and when it comes to cannabis spieces it produces weaker, less diverse hybrids because genes do not get mixed up and interchanged with each generation, and that is exactly opposite situation to what happens in mother nature developed and perfected evolutionary process which serves endless life diversity and every spieces strenght.

In countries where marijuana originates it has evolved alongside humans, often being maintained in small family gardens amongst other food and medicine crops. Much of today's gene pool originated in Afghanistan, where cannabis was grown like this in small family plots for generations, until the advent of large fields in the 70's and 80's. Plant phenotypes varied slightly from one valley to the next, and the pollen carried by wind from the slightly different gene pool of cannabis in the next valley maintained population vigour, multiple pollination lines, and prevented inbreeding depression. These days this scenario is reproduced by Dutch breeders by maintaining several lines of the same strain, crossing them into each other every few years to maintain genetic exchange.

Unfortunatelly in present times of cannabis / marijuana prohibition, and the usual way of separated, isolated indoor growing, cannabis spieces cannot freely pollinate and cross pollinate in order to enrich its genetics strenght and diversity.

The process of producing stable, strong and diverse marijuana seeds and generally good parent cannabis plants is called professional breeding and is done in many cannabis breeding farms in Netherlands. That is also the reason most experienced marijuana growers buy their new batch of cannabis seeds every year in order to benefit from cross breeded marijuana strains.

One of the best producers that breeds cannabis into generations of stable and vigorous hybrids is AMS from Netherlands, look at the strain list below and you may find sth for yourself. My recommendations are short and auto flowering Ganja Dwarf or sweet and potent Caramelicious. Enjoy the pure eco style of Dutch breeding achieved by mixing the best of natural cannabis diversity!
