making seeds...

[GrowKindNugs]

hey dudes, how's everyone this morning?? i figured this would be the best place to ask my question....i'm a long time indoor grower but new to making my own seeds, i'm not interested in creating my own strain, but just producing a bunch of seeds that i can plant everywhere and give to friends...so, say i have 1 fem white dwarf, 1 fem easy ryder and 1 fem diesel ryder, and i pollinate them with pollen from a diesel ryder male, will all those seeds be 100% auto?? i think so, right...thanks in advance for any help...

Oh ya they should be or darn close, but there might be some runts. Probably not, use a small paint brush and collect the pollen somewhere not to close. Honestly, one bud can give a dozen or more seeds. Even a tiny auto can really load up, save your self a top bud or something bean free.

yep 100 percent will be auto. good luck!

awesome, thanks alot guys! i'm gonna go all out and just leave my best male diesel ryder in the room with my females, i want an assload of seeds!! this is gonna be fun, haha...peace

i estimate a full grown female diesel ryder thats been completely polinated will give you roughly 1000 seeds

These are standard females and not feminized seed right?


As a side note from a small 7 inch tall Masterlow I got 175 seeds so you'll definitely reach your goal of an assload of seeds.

hmm, good question, the white dwarf and easy ryder will be feminized seed, will that matter?? the diesel ryder will be a normal female i pick from the bunch...i hope being feminized won't fuck shit up...let me know guys...i haven't started yet so i wanna know all the facts....awesome, an assload of seeds is what i want, haha...

do not use female seeds for making seeds. the result will be a headache of hermie's. IMO seed companies are starting to do this more and more. female seeds. to the grower its nice because you know you have a female. its also used to "protect" the breeders hard work from copying it. now call them what you will, breeders, seed makers. theres alot of companies out there IMO that are simply seed makers, a couple crosses and you have a new wonder variety.
making seeds from feminized seeds will fuck shit up. use regular seeds for breeding.

its really not all that cut and dry. it depends how they were feminised, some methods will cause mroe hermies than others while some will show no hermes. if you're just doing it for seeds for future crops id still go ahead with it. breeders will not want to work with fems though just because they want to start as pure as they can to limit problems. but feminised seeds does not mean you'll definitely have hermes if you breed them.

yah, that makes sense...i might just go ahead and pollenate em all...alot of the seeds that i make are goin to a bunch of different outdoor locations and some to indoor, so i don't mind if some are herms, i can watch for that, i only care about them still being autoflowering....thanks

Bob J, I don;t think you can show how using fem seeds is any more a chance of producing hermies than regular seeds. It just aint so.
All it is, is math. And the math works out no matter what type of seeds they are.

You have every bit as much chance of producing a hermie prone plant with regular seeds as you have using femmed seeds. More so, actually.
With fems, we have the opportunity to really know the breeding traits of BOTH parents, whereas with regular seeds, you are basing your knowledge about your male's breeding traits on a guess, at best.
Even the novice can do what needs to be done to find a true breeding female, and when you have two hermie free fems, and you breed them using stress, they will be hermie free progeny...almost 100% guaranteed. Can't claim that with your male bred plants...not without much painstaking selection of a male.
The femmed seeds using two true breeders is a mathmatical winner.

Fems causing hermies is an urban legend at best.

well, i guess i'll pollinate em all then!! i'll let you guys know how it goes...thanks for all the help...
