Guage Quality of Genetics Viewing Seeds "Fingerprint"
I have always wanted a method of determining strain quality just by the visual physical properties of seeds. This goes beyond color, shape, tiger stripes or wether a bird/fish will eat said seed first over a lesser quality seed
All seeds have a miniature crevace where the pistils lay on the seed during formation. They also have a round pit where the seed is actually attached to the calyx. This got me thinking i could devise a way to formulate wether my latest seed aguired was hemp or a hash plant. I pulled out the digital microscope and behold... there are trichomes in the pit and the crevace. After viewing seeds for countless hours of strains i have cultivated, i determined you can to some extent guage the difference in super potent strains compared to shabby dirt weed seed I am not stating that the presence of trichomes indicates a potent drug strain cause it does not... But if you look at the layers and amount of trichs as well as the marking on the seed left behind like a tatoo you can tell which is super frosty and which is average. this can also be changed by harvest times environment etc. here are some hash plant seed notice the black striations from trichomes when it was forming. |
