Sam. Gimme.
Did I convince? Maybe i need to use more tact. I will direct my energy toward you like the spirit bomb. That was a good one thinking altitude could affect seed growth. I am always thinking about it. I saw your seeds on a website. I know because this website also said 12 seeds to a gram asia food seed and 800 from kasimir kashmir? Anyway I have 13 techniques to try and make big seeds. Don't ask me why though, first I produce them. Then I will tell you why I did it.

i found in personal experience the largest seeds come from indica's and the smallest from sativa. i mostly grow bagseeds and my own strains. but out of everything someone else made that i grew out, the smallest seed were from cannaventures grapefruit dlite(thee re prolly the tiniest seeds i've ever popped), and the largest were either the g-13 from gypsy/DG or the gold rush from Redeyed Genetics.

Good luck unless you are growing acres and acres of breeding stock.
If you want big seeds get Yunnan where they grow them for human food, they crack them in the mouth and spit out the shells. 13 techniques to try and make big seeds? I would just grow massive amounts and use the plants that yielded the largest as parents for the next crop. As for males I would use the males only from just the females that gave the biggest seeds the year before. BTW the Yunnan I bred was very low in THC and after 5 years it was even lower THC was below .05 way below any limits. I used GC to be assured that none of the plants used for breeding had any significant THC at all. I tested all 1,000 plants each of the 5 years for THC and only used for breeding the lowest with the biggest seeds and the highest overall seed yield. I also made it much earlier flowering so they can be grown outdoors in Canada, that was very successful. It worked quite well, but was not cheap to do. My goal was a large Cannabis seed for Canada that could be shelled and sold for humans, a bit like pinon nuts. My work is completed. -SamS Quote:

thanks sam.
yea I don't have the best setup to do it. I can release my techniques if you want. It's pretty nice. It's above just selecting for size and weight. It includes environmental stressors. I am going to get a little itty bitty tiny scale. one so I can see the decimals for the smalllllll seed. So I can pick the big ones.

The tiniest seeds I ever saw were the occasional dark seed I found in Thai sticks around '71 and '72... But even they were gigantic compared to the tiny seeds in your photo. I've seen some really big ones before but I don't remember what they came from. It did seem that even the ripe ones were usually much lighter in color than normal sized seeds...

Wow Sam those are big!! My friend is an Orchid collector and spends lots of time in the Triangle. He came back from Chiang Mai with seeds stitched into his jeans!!
GIANT golden/yellow seeds. Not immature. No stripes and 4-5 times the size of an NL seed! Made hybrids will no ceiling and no tolerance. Rippers hit my GH. Had a jar of seeds in the shed fridge... the day I didn't have beans stashed. They took them all...shit. Lost forever. |

How'd he do it?

BTW, the Trainwreck bx seeds I had from Billy Goat were quite small and were long compared to their girth. I crossed some Satori to the best male and all the seeds look much more like the big Satori seeds.

Uh, the smallest ones I have are those from Armenia. Maybe 2 mm in diameter or half the size of a "standard" seed (if there even is something like a mean seed size).
The biggest ones I have are, IIRC, from Deep Chunk and from a Slovakian landrace; the cross of these two still awaits testing.
