Sexing Method; Fact or Fiction?
Im glad this thread is so alive. I think these studies are very important to the growing world and especially the growers that don't want to buy seeds from a website. I am deffinately going to study and document this seed theory. Knowing the sex befor germination would be a huge breakthrough.:thumbsup:

I believe the seed theory is also correct. I bred some feminized (Fem to stressed fem) seeds and they all have the round features on the seeds. This also holds true for hermaphrodites from what I have seen so far.
The original post, not sure where I saw it, but I have been watching this. I recently sprouted 2 regular seeds, one had the round and the other had an oval at the end. Not sure which ended up which, but I got one female and one male out of the deal. Sorry I lost track of which was which, this is the one that has not shown any red.
I also believe that to say this will always be true is a fallicy. It is a generality that I have noticed and have tried to apply as a theory. Just another little tool to put in the gardeners grow tool box. I do not think I would, as a business, rely on the appearance of the seed to say it is female. You have to know the genetics to be positive.
Yes, this is a fun thread, quite lively and interesting.

Hmmm, I have seen that seed chart somewhere else awhile back. I once sprouted 15 seeds and all 15 turned out to be males...wished I had seen this before I wasted all that time n money. I am mostly cloning lately (because of that fiasco), but next time I crack some beans, I am going to examine this very carefully and see how accurate this method is. I'm sure I won't be the only one either! 100% accurate? Let's just say I'm skeptical, but anything close to 100% accuracy would be very nice indeed! It would be very nice to be able to identify a female seed every time. Thanks for posting that Rainhaze!

Your very welcome TANKJR, but actually I cant take all the credit, I got it from someone here, MimbresValley I think who posted;

To get it I just downloaded UTORRENT, and then went to the link ↑ and downloaded it from Pirates Bay. After the torrent finished it went to;
C/my downoads and then I got all these cool as hell books.
Again, thanx MimbresValley!:thumbsup:

Ya, Mims rock for that post.
If you go to the second page of that thread and scroll down a bit I got links up of each individual book, just in case you dont wanna DL the whole lot :D
EDIT: BTW, all my links are through MegaUpload so no torrent handler needed if you aint already got it. I deff aint trying to steal Mims thunder here, its just that some peeps dont wanna mess with torrents and dont wanna eat up any extra data if they aint gotta ;)
