you feed your plants nutrients if you want it to live you dont feed plant deferent because
you want seeds out of them if you want healthy plant i would feed like you would if you was going for bud because it will develope healthy seeds. healthy plant heathy seeds makes sense

A plant doesn't need the nutes to live... We dump nutes as much as possible to increase yield. Is that needed for seeds?

Has anyone done a test from standard nute levels and boosted nute levels? Does it increase seed production?

Great question, can't wait to hear from the chuckers who have tested this.

theres a good reason why we pour the nitrogen on the farm fields. noone changes their fertilizers once the corn tassles or the beans blossom. seeds are huge sinks of sugars/starches, and the only way to make them is full spectrum fertilizers. find fertilizers that have balanced numbers 10-10-10, 19-19-19. and also the ones with micronutrients and minerals. do some google searching for yield increasing nutrients/fertilizers for agriculture.

Seed plants that are heavily dosed with nutrients produce seeds with tough shells that can be hard to germinate. The same seeds will be much easier to pop if grown with very little added nutes.
I don't think we can effect the genetic map, and what the seeds will end up producing, in any instance.

You cant asure the quality of seeds with added nutrients just the quantity.If the plant has all the nutes available she needs+maybe a tad more she will just produce more healthy seeds(that eventually have a thicker shell)as she would if there arent plenty of nutes.Lets say you have a plant in a very low feed soil if you pollinate that whole plant,and you dont add any extra nutes,not every single calyx wich is pollinated will produce a mature seed....the plant will focus here energy on a number of seeds and the rest will stay undeveloped.

Thats how i understood it....if im wrong feel free to correct me...happy vibes~GS :wave:
