are feminized seeds always prone to herms?

[DocLeaf]

What a load of shit.

Please add context to the posts.. why do you think this dude / dudess? (we could all bust obscenities at each other till the cows come home,, hell it might even be fun . but onlookers wish to learn about here) . Questions make more questions . which involves positive dialogue .

now what was the question again?

peace love

Amnesia, AUH#1 , AUH#2, SSH, Black Jack, Critical, Green Poison and Royal Automatic ,, none of those displayed male flowers or hermaphrodite traits in indoor and glass gardens .. all feminized seeds

 

[vStagger Leev]

Yes, if done properly there can definately be good feminized seeds out there. But there are some less then reputable seed vendors out their who have hermy problems and still sell the shit out of the seeds. Like I say, the seed game is "Seedy"

Wait just a minute here...I suggest that folks get there shit together before they start throwing out such childish stuff.

Yes, stagger lee you are very wrong. And I don't know what you are trying to say that DJ Shorts has to say..but if you are referring to something you read in a magazine article, then you need to do some research yourself. Magazines are not proper research references for your information. Why don't you just tell us what DJ says about what you provided? Is that article what you think backs up your position? (good grief)

And as far as King is concerned...there is nothing for him to be right, wrong, or indifferent concerning the topic. The guy is no cannabis professional, nor does he know shit from Shinola.

As far as you poppin in here multiple times in an attempt to make me look like I don't know what I am talking about..well, I suggest you just move alone because it is obvious you have no intentions of learning. You seem to think you can teach. Problem with that is, you don't know what the hell you are talking about.
Kinda like your pal, Visa Accepted.

Now, you want to learn? Or do you want to pass along bullshit? Your choice.

Fems are far more sexually stable than regular seeds. Quality breeders grow out a large number of plants and then stress them with lighting interuptions, heat, etc. There is a range of responses among the plants -some hermi immediately, some after being stressed by several factors and then some that dont hermie at all. The plants that show resistance are the ones chosen for feminization. Once selfed, the femmed seeds are also stressed to test for stability.

The femmed seeds lack male chromosomes and they have been chosen from parents that were resistant to hermaphroditism. If growing regular seeds, your pack has the same range of plants that existed when the feminization process was undertaken and there are pheno's in every pack that will hermie easily. For this reason, youre more likely to see a herm in regulars seeds than in fems.

Stagger lee, you and your pal Visa Accepted need to read this and learn. Nothing more to say. It pretty much sums it up nicely.

Then OUT the bad but praise the goodness it's the internet ... but with images that support such evidence otherwise things soon turn into a witch-hunt .. again (x14)

One example,, Arjan's Ultra Haze #2 ,, grew fine in a few different gardens.. a few plants displayed really dominant Laos traits that didn't want to flower. but no herms at all.

Compared with one of the very first 'female' varieties Grapefruit (reversal seeds),, which spat seeds like a nana plant... then the new fem. strains grow better

btw.. docleaf is NOT a fan of feminized or female seeds on moral grounds mostly. but for sowing growing n smoking,, some of them aint that bad to be honest.

keep it real.. one love!

Look at my grow photos before you judge me bro... Thought you would be somewhat of a chill fella all livin in the pines listenin to bluegrass and all. Kind of a grouch huh? Do some research yourself on feminised seeds and see what you learn

If you find that there are "less than desirable" seed vendors putting out product that you know has been brought about by irresponsible methods, then by all means LET US KNOW WHO THESE SCOUNDRELS ARE! Be sure you know what you are talking about when you make such claims though....
What you are bring to the table now are breeders ethics, and nothing to do with the topic. And if a breeder is choosing badly for fems, he is also chosing badly for regular stock and you can bet on that.

So now you want to bring the personal into it?

Bottom line:
You don't know what you are talking about.

Chill folks... we breeding erb n love here.. not contention and negativity

Please show photos .. of fem. seed plants good or bad

Black Jack (natural sunlight)

Critical [RQS] . seeded clone to WW x FT (under glass)

 

[DocLeaf]

We dont grow 'fem.' seeds as the norm.. and as a result have seen more hermaphroditic traits in regular seed lines than feminized ones. Especially those with Thai, 'Diesel' and inbred genetics.

 

[farmdalefurr]

ive had problems w/ barneys farm as well. their pineapple chunk i did not care for. bland and very airy buds. stretched like an s.o.b. and their vanilla kush......... awful. turned a nice purple color, and had a super lavender smell to it, but, the high was lacking in EVERY aspect. just my 2c

 

[Phillthy]

i grown out a few pack so fem beans. just finishing up a pack now. i have never seen so much as a bud nanner though. blueberry is already sensitive as is chem, sourd, etc... so i simply choose to stay with regular beans for those.

 

[thesloppy]

As Phillthy noted above, like just about everything else cannabis related, hermaphrodism seems to be more strain dependent than anything else. Fore example, I've had a few different fem Trainwreck/crosses seeds that toss out half-a-dozen 'nanners like clockwork, if you let them go past 65 days, but TW is sensitive like that. Personally I've grown out a dozen-or-so packs of fem beans, and the only TRUE hermies that required culling, came from a pack of Dutch Passion Hempstar.

I'd be wary of anybody(s) using someone else's (dated) evidence/experiences to run down female seeds. I think at this point their prevalence on the market and the quality/quantity of people offering female varieties should speak for their viability.

hiya all, phillthy i see you mention that blueberry is sensitive, would you not consider ever using blueberry or a blueberry x fem seed in your garden? or would that be asking for "trouble", thanks for all the replies, it really helps someone like me who as no other contact with any other growers and i have a perpetual garden [last 11yrs], so its great to get some education from more knowledgable growers, so once again thanks all peace and safe growing 944s2

I had a female plant hermie. I have grown about 40-50 from seed, and narry-a-seed (hermie).

 

[High Country]

I made my own feminised seed with colloidal silver. The CS plants produced from the seed are as rock solid as the original, very stable, no hermie tendencies at all.

THIS MOTHER PLANT WAS PRODUCED FROM COLLOIDAL SILVER FEMINISED SEED

IT ALSO PRODUCES CLONES EASILY JUST AS THE ORIGINAL DID

I think it comes down to the breeder. Dp and Barneys don't have the best rep. I just grew out super lemon haze and that plant was solid. I put a fan in the flower room and it had a light diode that was on constantly. I noticed my ak47s were throwing nanners and that's when I realized about the light. It was probably 10-14 days before I realized. One slh was closet to the fan and not one nanner. In fact those plants did not have the most stress free life and not one nanner anywhere. I was very impressed. I am a believer in female seeds now.

I agree solid strain in fem and what a taste and smell,i like the skunky pheono with the haze smell when cured,whats your favourite one buddy?
