Feminized cannabis seeds help skip the 40% wastage and give a 100% feminized yield. They produce seedless cannabis flowers when prevented from fertilization, and these types of seeds are generally desirable. The problem with these seeds is that they also need growth specific conditions for proper yield. Autoflowering seeds, on the other hand, offer the best of both worlds. It brings together high-quality marijuana, which is easy to grow, especially for beginners.
