Top 10 Best Feminized Cannabis Seeds of 2023
What are your growing goals in 2023? If you desire the biggest and strongest yields possible, then take your pick of the 10 high-performing varieties below. They're all productive and potent, but each offers something unique.
Contents:
These hard-hitting, terpene-rich varieties represent our best feminized cannabis seeds of 2022. We have a massive catalogue of genetics on offer, so it takes something exceptional to make the cut. Below, you’ll get to know a group of strains that provide exceptional potency, productivity, aromas, and tastes. If you’re searching for nothing but glistening, sticky buds—without having to sex your plants—then our top 10 feminized seeds are for you.
Unlike their autoflowering counterparts, these strains follow the photoperiod (light cycles) of the season to produce flowers. Outdoors, these cultivars will simply follow the rhythm of nature. Indoors, it’s up to you to “flip” to a light cycle of 12 hours on and 12 hours off to encourage them to start churning out aromatic buds.
The following strains were selected based on user preferences, trends, and tastes, alongside some high-octane recommendations from the team at RQS. What awaits is nothing short of pure dankness!
