sensimilla

Sensimilla is a Spanish word meaning "without seeds." In the context of cannabis, it refers to unpollinated female cannabis plants that are grown for their high concentration of THC-rich resin. When a female cannabis plant is not pollinated by a male plant, it produces more flowers and resin as a means to protect its unfertilized seeds. This unpollinated flower, known as sensimilla, is typically more potent and desirable for consumption.

The process of growing sensimilla involves carefully separating male and female cannabis plants to prevent pollination. This requires dedicated cultivation practices to ensure that only female plants mature and produce flowers. The resulting product is often characterized by its dense, resinous buds and a higher cannabinoid content compared to seeded cannabis. Historically, sensimilla cultivation gained popularity as growers recognized the superior quality and potency of unpollinated female flowers. It is a common term used in the cannabis industry to describe high-grade, seedless marijuana.
