What is Hybrid

Hybrid vigor

The term hybrid vigor may sound like something made up to promote sales, but nothing could be further from the truth. Hybrid vigor is just a name for a property that arises when cannabis seeds originate from two genetic cannabis strains. The property? It gives you about 25% more yield.

25% more yield with Hybrid

An important side note of this extra vigor is that it only applies during the first crop of seeds resulting from a crossing of two different plants. This means that when you go backcrossing, the plants are not genetically different enough to provide the magical 25% more yield.

The Key

The key is therefore to ensure that such a cross is done with seeds of a first generation, or F1 seeds. The name F1 comes from the Latin word for son and the number shown in front of it stands for the generation from which it comes.

Cannabis plants that originate from F1 seeds will always provide 25% more yield. In short, as long as you, as a grower, continue to cross with different plants, you can continue to benefit from the 25% extra growth that comes with this!
