people just think you know so much from a first grow. lol think he is just angry dues to him fucking up
I hear more complaints of whack phenos from ghs than I do herms.
What really caused that Herm?......I'll bet it was growing problems ! They may not even know they had them.
Applause, applausealright, where to begin with this mess of a thread..
first of all, most all feminzed seeds today are made using a chemical such as collodial silver, which simply tells the plant to stop producing the hormone that creates female flowers, and instead, it now creates male flowers.. this chemical does absolutely nothing to the dna of the plant.. so, if you don't spray the plant with cs or w/e, the plant won't grow balls.. plan and simple, if the parent plant was stable, which all breeding plants should be, and doesn't show signs of intersex, then the only reason it grow balls was the introduction of a chemical..
feminized plants are no more likely to show intersex traits then regular seeds... it's all in the genetics you start with.. if the parents were stable, then guess what? so will the offspring.. if the parents where crazy loons and like to wear dresses, then guess what? more then likely the offspring will be the same, ie, parents that show intersex will usually pass that off to the offspring, but this goes for regular seeds, or feminized..
secondly, feminized seeds are about 99.9% sure to be female.. i've grown numerous fem'ed seeds from various breeders, and i've yet to get a male plant out of a pack of fem'ed beans.. i've also never had a hermie either, knock on wood, either from a fem'ed seed or a regular seed..
thirdly, some strains are just hermie prone as they came from hermie parents.. some of these strains are things like east coast sour diesel, trainwreck, og kush, girl scout cookies, and a few others i'm forgetting atm.. being that these plants were results of a hermie plant making seeds, usually when you run crosses of these plants, you will have a higher risk of plants showing intersex traits.. but, if you run plants that come from stable parents, then more then likely, you'll have stable offspring.. pretty much the same as people.. you know the old saying the apple don't fall far from the tree right? well, same with plants... yay, science is fun..
Yes, yes
With that link, you may just have answered your own question and why many GET the Hermies!!!!
I don't feel that it does, the link is specifically addressing fems going herm, I don't see the point of the article addressing fems going herm when it's just listing factors that would cause any plant with the sex switching trait to herm. If that makes sense?
Females are more likely to herm than males, logically if you grow (or sell) only females, you get more hermies. You are more likely to find a hermie in a batch of 10 fem seeds than in a batch of 10 reg seeds. Not because the former is feminized, but because the latter contains less females... Besides that GHS is not a breeder but a bean maker.
Awesome, thanks for the response Sativied, I always learn from your posts.
Did you read the first line in the post? Obviously not. The first line clearly says NOT REALLY I then proceed to explain that the title was just created to draw attention to the post. Did you have anecdotal knowledge of that ?
Exactly, the old post hoc ergo propter hoc and cum hoc ergo propter hoc, the main fallacies of cannabis growers prevalent in all the cliche debates.
There is stiff competition from the naturalistic fallacy. "OMG CHEMICLES MADE TEH SEEDZ!!1"
I did, it seemed really random, like you were in the middle of a conversation. Maybe other people understood what you meant, but I quite reasonably did not. I don't think it's good etiquette to give your thread a bullshit title just to draw more attention to your junior (and yes, anecdotal) insight on feminized seeds. But I defer to your judgment, as you are clearly much more emotional about the matter.
Erm well I have grown for 2 years with regs and no herms. A lot of people are having herms with fems on the first grows.
What statistics are you referring to?
