ethylene... its a myth.
the sex of the seed is set in stone at fertilization. M F or intersex
rofl...looking for an argument are we?
in one post you say it's the grower's fault for a plant turning hermie with environmental conditions and in another you say environmental conditions have no effect on the sex of a seed. which is it??? it can't be both... lol. you are showing your ignorance by contradicting yourself.
my experience: 100% hermies from dutch passion, fem and reg. environmental conditions can contribute to something being hermie but so can genetics. --- the point was stay clear of dp unless you want hermie genes.
you have no proof that the sex is set in stone/seed and you are promoting a theory that is not widely accepted. most experienced growers support the theory that environmental factors contribute to the sex of a plant, just like in humans--in almost every cannabis horticulture book you'll find evidence to support this. as humans, we were all females by default until environmental conditions turned some of us male...this has been proven with science! why is it so hard to believe this is the way it is with cannabis too?
ethylene is not a myth and has been proven to promote females. read up. products like sensa soak are proven to result in 95% females.
fem seeds have their place...they're not for everyone. they are more likely to show hermie traits when a hermie/altered sex plant was used to create a fem seed but regardless, with any fem seed you're virtually guaranteed to get buds. i wouldn't start a family from a hermie but that doesn't mean they're useless--buds with a few balls is still better than a plant with no buds.
way to get off topic with the fem seed argument that has been discussed repeatedly. i will step aside for your ignorance. you win the gold.
