if the seeds come from a hermi then wouldn't the plant from the seeds be more likely to hermi.. i might be over thinking it lol......... i've beenturns out that the male i put up is a hermi...so shit I wont even need to pollinate one of my girls...
lol
hmmm iono forsure...but i think the seeds would just be male and female...if the seeds come from a hermi then wouldn't the plant from the seeds be more likely to hermi.. i might be over thinking it lol......... i've been
Nice! I will do some internet searching and get back to you on if its correct or not.Shit I hope thats correct...
cuz I got a full blown purple widow hermi..
Thanks yeah if you find out get back to me....Nice! I will do some internet searching and get back to you on if its correct or not.
Loving your thread, keep it up!
Same thing if the plant hermies by itself. All offspring will technically be hermaphrodites.Feminized seeds are a marketing ploy to rob you of your hard earned dollars.
From a good friend of mine
Folks will disagree with me, but I don't feel there is anything stable at all with FEM seeds.
At best, you get a breeder that knows what he/she is doing. By that, I mean you have a breeder who has a special female that has been watched and studied for a long time to know that it is stable. By stable, I mean it doesn't have a tendency to produce male flowers under environmental stresses. This forced female (by using colchicine) will produce "XX" and "XY" pollen resulting in progeny that are "XXX" and "XXY". This is the most ideal, and honestly, both are hermi. This is fine though if all you care about is that generation. In other words if you are just going to grow these seeds out, harvest, and then not try to clone or continue the line then you are fine. To me, this is the only real functional application of feminized seeds. For the most part, you will have a 99% female crop with maybe a few hidden nanners on some of those "XXY" females.
At worst, you get a breeder that just wants to make money. They find a dank cut but don't check to see if it is stable before applying the cholcicine. Or, or, or, they look for a fairly dank female that puts out a male nanner or two in flower anyway (without cholcicine). Either way, you are going to get nutty pollen that could be "XX", "XY", "XXY", "XYY". When I hear horror stories about folks having big time hermi problems with fem seeds, it tells me a lot about the breeder they got them from. These seeds are highly unstable and are a waste of the grower's time.
If you plan on cloning and keeping a female alive, then don't waste your time on fem seeds unless you just absolutely have to have a certain female. I'll never waste my time with fem seeds. I would rather spend my time selecting from males and females and finding that one super female to keep. Of course, my setup is condusive to that. As I said, some folks need feminized seeds based on how their grow is set up. So if you can only grow from seed and you can't keep clones, then "Stable" or rather "Reliable" feminized seeds may be an option. Personally I would rather buy double the regular seeds and just cut out the males. This is typically cheaper as feminized seeds are usually more than double the price of regular seeds.
And please, for the love of the plant, if you are planning to breed, DO NOT used a feminized female. Remember, your most ideal case is that she is "XXX". Still a hermi, and the progeny from her crossed with a stable male will be "XXX" and "XXY". HERMI HERMI HERMI. Hermaphrodites are one step closer to our favorite plant turning to hemp. A self pollinating sea of low THC, low yielding plants.
Yeah Angus great post bro...and thanks Boulderheads...I hope you do indeed make it to California some day man...I'll wlecome you with open arms and a fat blunt
Shasta's a beautiful place too...
.
Dont even trip bro your not blabbing haha yeah I cant even imagine it must be like to live in a state w/no medical marijuana...I was born and raised in southern california by the way so ive been a resident all my lifeThanks Zig!!! I am seeking medical freedom from my conservative state..(bad car accident and docs won't do surgery cuz too risky, and I am not getting hooked on synthetic crap just to contribute to some pharmaceutical corp retirement fund.) although there has been talks of a Bill being passed.. either way I need a change of scenery..
I have seen enough of the east coast.. and want a bunch of land for my dogs to run on on.. close to mountains, ocean and forests..CA seems like the place. How long you been a resident my friend, if u don't mind me asking? Any good places you know of about an hour from Sacramento? My g/f is going to be a speech pathologist, so she needs to be near a hospital setting or city atmosphere. Sorry to blab man I have been up for 20+hrs now and just got my first
