I am not sure now if I will send to you those seeds as they are not ready yet!!I'm tired of arguing the fem seed issue thing. I have no hands on experience, and cannot say for sure their bad. Much of the negativity, is word of mouth, NOT experience, and Hoosier pointed that out to me. I'm admitting I was wrong, and moving on from here.
I'm willing to give fem's a shot, if they treat me well, I'll know for sure my beliefs were wrong. If not... never again.
Don't get me wrong, I'll always prefer reg beans, but until I grow them, I can no longer shit on fems. They have their place. (it seems)
Plus, if I want to run Serioud 6 outside, and I do, I'll have to use fems.
i experimented with 36hr darkness and my clone ended up flowering around 3 days earlyer compared to flipping into 12/12, i was pretty pleased, i speculated and think it could be because they start slowing down growth for awhile, lay alittle dormant, then when they hit the light they just snap and wake up, it was quick growth even for the first 12hr back into light and from there on it was just realy quick growth,
good to see serious come out with fems, shame to see people upset by the fatc youve moved that way,
if a breeder could make strains that have stuck around for so long won many cups and are still as legendary as the day they came out, then why would people think he wouldnt put the same degree of effort into fems?
best of luck,
Nyy said:the rates for the expression of hermaphrodites within feminized seeds still doesn't hold a candle to the probabilities of recieveing either male or hermaphrodite plants from regular seedstock (lower percentage of unusable plants translates to more medicine production for consumption).
I do agree..but not completely.All breeding purposes aside, lets take a look at another side of the arguement.... the medical patient's side. Let's take for instance a medical marijuana patient would has been stricken with some sort of painful ailment that limits their mobility and compromises expendable energy. This type of patient, which is of common occurence outside of the realm of recreactional usage, would benefit headlongs more from feminized seeds than regular seedstock.
That sounds to be the case but its not necessarily true. Let me explain..The amount of marijuana they can cultivate can be increased because of the higher percentage of female plants (more medicine means more pain management)
Here is something to think about:the quality of the marijuana would be among the same quality of the regular seedstock because more than likely the feminized versions were generated from the same genetics (same quality just easier to obtain a likeable phenotype)
and lastly if still concerned with hermie rates... the rates for the expression of hermaphrodites within feminized seeds still doesn't hold a candle to the probabilities of recieveing either male or hermaphrodite plants from regular seedstock
Cold enviroment should promote more female.
Could be true, I believe progeny are as good as the parents, be they male and female, or female transformed to male with a female. If breeders spend time to discover if a female has inter-sexed traits by stressing them with every know way, and keeping the ones with no inter-sexed traits for breeding with they are off to a good start.
But I see a serious change in the seeds being produced and sold nowadays, 3/4 or more are all female, if this continues then soon almost all genes in the Cannabis Drug Genepool will be in fact be from populations without males. This is already true.
Of course the Western bred Cannabis seeds are a small fraction of the total number of Drug Cannabis seeds produced yearly, while the commercial drug Cannabis seed market
may seem big it is less then 1,000 kg or one metric ton per year, that is less then 50 million seeds. The amount of seeds produced yearly with commercial Cannabis crops worldwide is thousands of times more, many many thousands of times.
The first step is to be aware of the problems and then do something to help people avoid the worst problems, like inter-sexed progeny.
