i know mandala doesnt do femmed seed, and i wouold guess going by mikes views and his principles of his buisness that tyhere arent any plans to-i could be woong.
What do you want genetically modified freaks for?? Femmed are never as good as a female from froper seeds, you better getting normal seeds for the rehular price and picking a good female to clone from after you seperate ur males..... you will still have to seperate and pic a good one from femmed seed because of the hermaphrodites so they arent simply plant forget and have bud... trust me, get urself somemandala stuff and will be happy thats satori on the right taking up 60 percent of the room

lol ive never heard mutant freaks before but
i have heard female seeds have a habit of going hermi because they basically force a female plant to produce male flowers (hermi) to make the seed feminised. |

Female and Feminized Seed
During the 1960's and 1970's some cannabis breeders took to experimenting with Colchicine. Colchicine, a powerful mutagen for both man and beast, stops cell duplication, while the cellcore duplication continues the same. The end result is a doubling or more of the chromosome set. This treatment can be beneficial to cannabis because it enforces many properties such as higher production of thc and resistance to disease. What also resulted, when gender chromosomes doubled, is that male or female chromosomes appear manifold, called Hermaphrodites. What's the plant to become? It becomes all at once. The result is called feminized or effeminate seed. Genetically, a cannabis plant is more or less predisposed to become male or female. This is regulated by 2 chromosomes everyone knows as the X and Y chromosomes. A plant with 2 XX chromosomes becomes female. A plant with an X and Y turns into a male. Plants have hormones that regulate it's functioning, of which gender is one of those functions. The hormone balance is genetically determined, and partly influenced by environmental factors. An example is when plant roots get damaged. The roots will produce a substance that in turn slows down leaf growth. The result is male flowers. When discussing hormone balance you get FEMALE SEED: a female is a plant with XX or only female chromosomes. When you have a seed with just X chromosomes, you are certain this seed will grow into a plant that is genetically female. To achieve the XX only plant: a female plant is forced by a hormone called Gibberellic Acid to produce male flowers, the pollen created contains only X chromosomes, when you offer this pollen to another female plant you can be absolutely certain to get seeds which are 100% XX. Once again this seed is called FEMALE SEED. Gibberellic Acid can be found in online. It takes years for an individual to achieve the proper plant hormone manipulation to get 100% female XX seed. Supplies therefore fluctuate and there are many different strains available worldwide. |

i reckon maybe this ought to be moved somewhere else considering the topic is femmed seeds, and this is the forum for discussing mandals genetics and mandala dont make femmed seeds....
