Benefit of Sex

Next News 1. Sex increases genetic diversity The more diverse your genetics are, the better prepared they are to adapt to changing environments. This means that if you have two different strains of cannabis, then each strain has its own unique set of genes that can help them survive under various conditions. By having multiple strains, you increase the chances of finding a strain that is well-suited to your environment. 2. Sex increases cannabinoid content Cannabis plants produce cannabinoids at different rates depending on their gender. Female plants tend to produce higher levels of THC than males do. In fact, females often contain up to 20% more THC than males. This is due to the fact that female plants have more trichomes (the glands where cannabinoids are produced) than male plants. 3. Sex increases yield When you use both male and female plants together, you get a much greater yield than either would individually. This is because the pollen from the male plants fertilizes the ovules of the female plants, resulting in larger yields.
