First let me say I wanted to put this post in another thread but I don't have the 50 post needed. Rather than not post this great info I am putting it here. I have been at this a long time but not much of a poster. With that said here ya go.
I'm Stash and I am an older grower. Not to long ago I was helping a fellow grower that was having trouble starting seeds. I have seen his grows before and it seemed that he did pretty good. So I got my seeds growing and after a few weeks when I thought that they were old enough that he would be OK with them, I took the young plants over to his house for him to take over the growing. A few weeks later I was talking to this guy and he told me " did you know every one of those plants that you brang over were males". As it turns out he was one of these new age growers that only grew clones. He didn't know enough to put these plants under 6/18 until they got older. He had only used clones for a few years now, he put them right under 12/12 and turned every one of the girls into male plants. Thats also why he could not start his own seeds. These plants should have been mostly female.
This mistake tells me something. What if you were to take a seed that you already know is female (say an S-1) and put it under 12/12 at just a few weeks old and it turns male. We maybe able to make female seeds the easy way. What do ya say, worth a try?
