most everything you said is wrong. you need to read the stuff your researching,most fem seeds are not made that way, as ive been told, theres more than one way to slice a pizza. most breeder try to breed fem pollen with other females(same genetic pool, but different genetics) to prevent the hermie trait from passing fems, there are no males produced by fem to fem polination only females and possible hermies they do not carry the male chromosome. second uvb plays a major roll if used correctly tanning bulbs do not generally produce the proper UV wavelength reptile bulbs are closer, in producing the wavelength.

Ok tanning bulb are not exactly the right WL yes but reading the book i read ed rosenthals books they state uvb for the higher ratio of thc but state to use tanning bulbs, however in my thumbing around have heard the same for the 10.0 bulbs either way both benificial i feel...tanning bulbs although lower in nm than the 10.0's help produce anthocyanin which allows the plants to show more color.....I did say "here say" for all the seed stuff just what i read here on rollitup....however if i ran a fem seed company i woul be thinking money just like them and then say just like them "no gaurantee" might not all be female.....but i plan to use some uvb supplements sometime....what do you know, do you have a suggeston?....I just figure I will find some dynamite reg grow some girls and clone then manipulate her to cater to my wants and needs wether its uvb or adding suppliments to adjust the flavor smell look right....i take all feed back with a joint and open arms tell me what you know so i know too shit ya know.

cool good respionse/atitide so i can guide you in the right direction. first off we are after the wavelengths below 400. anthing between 300-400nm is UVA for the most part and can be achived with most flouros and MH in the amounts that make for great coloration. below 300- to about 280 is UVB this is where the magic is. most tanning lamps cut off spectrum around 290. reptile bulbs made from better glass cut off around 275. the florescents have an inherent issue though, first off the range at which the UV is worth it is withing 6 inches the second problem is they are no good for growing after about 6 months because the glass polarizes. i recommend the reptile MVB(mercury vapor bulbs) because despite the heat(i air cool mine with a duct fan) they produce and abundance of UVB enough to make a difference even at 2ft which is much better coverage. here i will provide some research to uv for you .

This is my smart thinking coming into play.

NOT all of those females that have been pollinated were pollinated by a male. some were pollinated by another female that was pollinated by a male and thus contracted pollensacks. those pollen sacks opened and pollinated the other females.

That's my favorite part. Did anybody else try to mention that females which become pollinated do not 'contract' male flowers?

they are the male "fruit" they simply do not contain the male chromosome. yes i went over this already
