Fundamentals of Cannabis Hemp

Plant Sex

Hemp comes in male, female and hermaphrodite. Females are used for fiber, seed and herb. Can you tell which of these plants is male and which is female?

Answer: Male flower is on left,

Female flower is on right.

The males are used for fiber and for breeding. Hermaphrodites are plants with characteristics of both sexes that occur as a result of stress or genetics. Only female plants of certain varieties of Cannabis can produce marijuana. Unseeded female flowers are called sinsemilla (pronounced: sins-ami-a) from the spanish phrase "sin semilla", which literally means "without seed."
