feminized bag seeds

[stinkyattic]

Feminized seeds are made by spraying female plants with gibberellic acid. This acid makes a female plant produce pollen. Hermaphrodite pollen typically isn't viable. But it is POSSIBLE.

This is not accurate.
The gibberellic acid treatment forces the plant to turn hermaphrodite, and the resulting pollen IS viable.
Female simply don't produce pollen; they have to grow male sex parts to do so.
You can also force hermaphroditism without the use of hormones, by exposing a female plant to light stress, heat stress, or allowing it to ripen far past the usual harvest stage.
By using the stress method, you then do not have to throw away a plant rendered un-smokeable by the application of a chemical substance.

The original idea of a high chance of feminized seeds in bagseed is legitimate; however, a commercial grower most likely has his shit locked down and is not stressing his plants, so any resulting herms were NATURAL herms and carry the trait to go herm even under optimal conditions... go ahead and play with them but for fucks sake DO NOT breed these seeds!!!!

So, if you have a bag of some good weed and find some seeds in there, the chances of those seeds being feminized seems larger than what i previously expected. Hear me out. If the weed is good, the grower is most likely more experienced. The only reason a seed would be in an experienced grower's weed is if there was a hermie that Rating: 5
