Growing indoors provides a great advantage to the producer, such as having close and detailed control of his planting, apart from the comfort of being basically inside their home.

This is possible because with them the sexing task is avoided and the femininity of all plants is ensured.
While it is true that some growers seek the development of male individuals for seed production, in general, it is flower-filled rooms that they long for. In addition, its growth is much more uniform, which allows filling hydroponic systems or plant pots to make better use of the available space.
Cultivating feminized seeds ensures that there are only female plants in your garden, or in your indoor cultivation, on the balcony, terrace or in guerilla cultivation, which allows a quick and easy cultivation of the marijuana plant. With feminized seeds, maintenance and pruning work caused by the male plant is eliminated.

The so-called feminized seeds are not as popular in America as they are in the European continent, but this characteristic has been rapidly reversing in recent years, with significant increases in Canada and the USA.
