Feminized cannabis strains

1. GREEN ICE

Green Gelato is what we have when we cross strains of Sunset Sherbet and Thin Mint Cookies. The green gelato gives one of the tastiest flavors on the market today.

As nature intended, you don’t have to wait that long to harvest and enjoy this strain. Green Gelato is ready to harvest in 8 to 9 weeks, with training and pruning doing wonders for yields. The ScrOG technique is also recommended along with mainlining, topping, LST and filming.

Please note that instead of the usual long-running colas, Green Gelato’s buds form small to medium sized dense clusters. Also, if you need those purple colors to shine, make sure the grow area is cool at night towards the end of the flowering phase.

2. ROYAL MOBY

The Royal Moby is a Spanish masterpiece. It is an incredible strain that grows to heights of 2 meters and 3 meters indoors and outdoors. These dates are characterized by stretchy long branches with excess fat buds

Given her respectable size, Royal Moby can produce a maximum of 75g per plant with a 600w light, or a yield of 600g per square meter. However, if you want to grow this strain to reach her full potential, she is best grown outdoors in a sunny climate. When cultivated properly, you can harvest a yield of up to 1000g per cannabis plant.

3. Shogun

With a genetic base that includes Gorilla #4 and Amnesia Haze, Shogun offers a smooth blend of taste, potency, and yields, making her an all-rounder.

Shogun is easy to cultivate, making the strain best for novice cannabis growers. It can bloom and survive well both outdoors and indoors, but you should know that this shogun is a hungry plant. Therefore, you need to make sure she is well nourished to maximize yields.

In the best conditions, Shogun can yield a maximum of 600g per square meter indoors and 750g per square meter outdoors within 9 to 11 weeks.

4. PURPLE QUEEN

A descendant of Purple Afghani and Hindu Kush, Purple Queen sits on the indie throne and rules with a quiet but powerful authority.

Raising the Purple Queen is a lot of fun. She thrives both outdoors and indoors and can thrive in warmer and temperate climates alike. With Purple Queen, harvest is fast and yields are plentiful. This strain is typically ready to harvest within 8 to 9 weeks on a 12/2 dark/light cycle. However, it requires a lot of time and maintenance.

With an average height of 1m, the Purple Queen is also not one that grows that large. Compact yet branchy, you should expect a harvest of around 650–750g outdoors and 450–500g/m² for each indoor plant.
