Should I bother buying feminized seeds? Do you really get all females this way?

:D

Here the thing you need to know where / who is clameing there femizied. I know the ones i get from the club are for shure fem but there made in a lab and all the male cromozones are not in em due to what ever there process is. I'd just get a clone tho if it were me, there so much easyer to deal with.

without trying to raise too much suspicion, I tried to find seeds without ordering online.

don't know enough people to hook me up.

would the feminized seeds from seedboutique be ok?

One great option's dutch-passion.nl ;) I bought before a few months 20 x Masterkush - feminized. 1 didn't grew, but i have 19 plants, healthy great mothers of THC :) They are almost ready for harvest, i'll give them max 7-8 days life. Buy feminized pal, they are a little more expensive than regular, but they're better - you get only females :D

the thing i have found with feminised seeds is that they stress easier and turn hermie easier .So now i dont bother with them .the postman.

The feminised seeds normally have a stability warning. Some being 99%, 75% and 50%. Therefore, possibilities occur of that hermie male flower appearing on your plant but once removed the rest should be sweet. But you must be attentive.

Feminized seeds are blah.. They do ok... Female seeds (there is a difference) is what you want. For details on the difference, check out

www.femaleseeds.nl

They are the new shiznit supposedly. I'm growing 8 right now, and all 8 are female. They claim 99.9% female seeds. Pretty bold.

Yep,I'd try something from Female seeds(maybe the indoor mix)
Or seed boutique should be good.
If you keep the temp below 80 and not top it. And give it plenty of root space. They should grow just fine.

Dutch passion orangebud, I killed 1 out of 10 seeds the rest were all fem. I drowned it to long and it got mushy. I suggest reading up on how they are made. Many peeps have a misconceptions or misunderstandings of the science behind the fem seed. The peeps that can afford it just grow from fem so they don't have to clone from a mother. The smart ones only use a few seeds for a mother and save for next time. Easy way not to have to prove a mother is fem. I could tell you but I'm sorry I don't have all day. I hope to be able to make some fem myself someday.

If you make a female plant turn hermie.And take it's polline and pollinate another female. Of any strain. Or the same strain. The seeds will most likely be female.
It's actually really simple.

That is how you can create feminized seeds. To create all female seeds (with no hermie traits) you need to use ionic silver. Here's how:

Cut from somewhere:
---------------------------------------------
Feminised vs Female Seeds:
The theory is that female plants wont produce male flowers by using light stress during flowering although a female plant with a limited amount of male genes can be stressed to produce male flowers. These seeds will be feminised seeds and not female seeds. I have just made some feminised 'Shanti Devi' seeds, originally from tiki seeds. I'm about to try the following method for 100% female seeds.


"Colloidal silver is defined as silver suspended in water..
99.999% silver rod in 14 gauge can be purchased in so many places or a 90 + pure percent silver coin can be used also.

Take a ac/dc transformer power supply which will supply you 4-12 vdc ,a motorbike battery charger should work well...

6 vdc is the ideal power,more isn't better in making colloidal silver,less current done slowly creates particles small enough to be measured in angstroms..
This is ideal as it can penetrate easily into the plant's
foliage and be utilized quicker than simply lying on the surface.

Take a .5 gallon of distilled or RO water in a glass,drop an airstone into the container,and turn it on..(this is mandatory if you want the smallest particles created which IS what you want,use an airstone during the process).
Attach the leads to the length of silver wire,6" is an ideal length to cut and use small metal alligator clips.
Place each lead down into the glass assuring the silver is the only metal making contact with the water,and they are on opposite sides of the glass,(not touching eachother)
plug in the transformer and let it set 5 hours at 6 vdc, it's a good idea to pull the wires and wipe them every 30 minutes if you have the time as the black residue will slow the atomization process.

You can spray it directly onto your chosen mother without diluting it,there's no worry about burning your plant,no chemicals here,no nitrates,yuk!

I was successful with 4 applications about 3 days in between in reversing a Bubba Kush and a Blueberry branch just as good as my sts solution.

I've since sent off my sts chemicals to another as I'm colloidal silver all the way...

If you're serious about organics and seem to be a stickler for natural applications then this is the way to go concerning asexual reversals.
NOTE: only ingest or use solution that was made from 99.999% silver ,not coins..The coins should be used for breeding only..
I hope this will inspire you to research colloidal silver for all it's uses and get the simple tools neccessary today to make this,,after you make it keep it in a darkened glass
a 40 oz brown bottle of beer works best,and don't let it contact any metal such as a metal cap,just glass,focusing on keeping it the dark.
It's still viable for up to 45-60 days after your born on date.."

I hope you feel inspired by this, it's gotta be worth a go, just make sure you use proper female plants and not feminised plants as a source of male pollen. If your gonna try this, good luck and please let me know how you get on.

Well what do you do with that ionic silver...you turn it hermie!!!! lol
Seriously, That is a good piece of info. Something I already knew but others will like. Me personally, I'm going to use STS when I make my Feminized Bubba Kush, OG kUsh, Urkle ,Granddaddy Purple, Purple Cream and Blue Dot. And I am going to cross some. I got alot of work to do. LMAO!

It all has to do with...How you mix your solution. Timing and strains are all different. So it isn't exactly simple. It's easy to understand though.:thumbsup:
