Sinsemilla Growing of Marijuana

Marijuana is a curious plant when it is domesticated. Like certain other plants such as strawberries or apple trees, the cannabis sativa plant can be propagated by cutting a section from one plant and transplanting that cutting to grow on its own. Marijuana growing without seeds is known as sinsemilla, and it has become a world-renowned method for producing the most potent and unique marijuana strains on the market.

Cannabis growth for human recreational use depends on one underlying principle. Female plants are used due to the presence of THC-rich buds in between the leaves. These buds contain hundreds of tiny hairs that are designed to catch pollen from male plants. However, if male plants are removed from the growing environment, the little hairs do not catch the pollen. As a result, the female plant devotes more of its energy to producing larger buds with larger hairs that can be more effective at catching the male pollen (even though it's not present). This process of starving the female plant of the male reproductive component allows for optimum growth of THC-rich buds. If male plants are present, then they have the potential to fertilize the female plants. If this occurs, the female plant devotes less energy to creating larger buds and more toward producing seeds to create cannabis offspring.
