cloning sex

[dreadydrug]

if you grew a plant & cloned it before putting it into flower (before you know the sex) would all the clones be the same as the mother, i.e. is the sex determined before it starts to flower?
if not then that would be handy!

Sex is already determined from seed.

[LOC NAR1958]

Most go the other way around. Start some plants. Take a clone from each, mark or number to know whitch mother it came from. Put them in 12/12 light and wait 2 to 3 weeks or untill they show sex. Any that are male kill it and the mother. If you have females then clone the hell out of the mother and your all females no guessing. This is the way I go. No males make it to the flower room.

i've forgotten where i read it but i'm pretty sure sex is determined after germination, but i could be wrong

Here.

If what you said were true there would be no such thing as feminised seeds.

I posted a thread with the picture a couple of weeks ago...
I think the conclusion was that the picture is really worthless...

Let me see if I can find the thread...

Sorry TC but he is correct. Sex is determined in the RNA and not the DNA of the plant.

[Zandor]

A feminized is not always a female. They just have a higher chance of being female then normal seeds. If the environment gets away a feminized plant can turn hermie just as quick as any other plant can.

Now you know why I don't buy feminized seeds they are not worth the price. imo.

I had a bunch of feminised seeds turn hermie..Since I am not sadistic,I cried when I had to chop them down..

Damn. I was wrong? I'm gonna go put a gun in my mouth now.

[Trichome Creator]

I was already aware feminized seeds could turn hermie. I don't beleive the image much myself either. The average male to female ration of a seeds gender lies around 60% Female and 40% Male but with Feminized seeds your more in the 75/85 range depending on the breeder. IMO.

[dreadydrug]

yes! i wasn't wrong for once, so let me get this stright, feminized seeds have a higher chance of being female, but also a higher chance of turning hermie? so they just kinda cancel each other out & theres not really much point in buying them.

That's a shame starchild you did not need to do that. You can use a small vacuum and take the sacks off with a razor and use the vacuum to catch any of the pollen just in case.

Dutch Master has a product called Feminizes that stops a hermie from turning and brings it back to a normal girl.
