Sinsemilla

Sinsemilla is a technique for cultivating seedless female cannabis plants used to achieve maximum flower production and potency. In nature, female plants produce lower potency buds with seeds after getting pollinated by male plants. Sinsemilla growing removes male plants to prevent pollination so female cannabis can instead focus all growth energy on producing the most abundant and resinous buds possible without diverting energy toward seed production. The term arose in 1960s/1970s hippie culture once growers recognized that seeded buds delivered less powerful psychoactive effects. The lack of seeds also provides a smoother smoking experience. Sinsemilla growing has become standard practice for premium cannabis production. However, allowing some pollination and seed creation helps preserve genetic lineage and biodiversity.
