New to CFL growing

Shit, if that's the case I shoulda let the little bugger keep going and put her into flowering. Someone confirm or deny that notion.

I originally heard this from HateHeaven lol :smokin: I looked around to try and find his source, then I remember reading a small thing from kindseed about feminized seeds. I found it and here is what is says:

"Feminized marijuana seeds are produced by forcing a female marijuana plant to produce male flowers and then using the pollen to fertilize another female. The result is marijuana seeds that will be 99 - 100% female marijuana plants."

They force a plant to go hermie by introducing a 1 hour light period in the middle of the dark period during 12/12. It stresses the plant out and turns it hermie. This leads me to wonder if a plant that is naturally a hermie will produce feminized seeds if it pollinates itself... the blurb says they use the male pollen and pollinate another plant, so i wonder if self pollination does the same thing.

This debate won't end. I have read similar things about hermies producing relatively feminized seeds but there ARE down falls. The genetics of the strain would now be weakened and your strain would now be less resistant to stress and more likely to hermie.

To each their own. :stoned:

Even if it isn't 100% feminized I don't mind. I don't know much about hermies or feminized seeds, but atleast now I will get some first hand experience right?

I've read mixed things on the subject, But I know in order for the seed to be feminized it cant have any male genetics or in other words pollinated by a male. I cant find the link but a grower said that you need to find a female that with as much stress as possible wont turn male. any pros have any comments on this??

stinky had a way of simplifying this, that was easy to understand. Can't remember what thread that was.

[Balkey]

I would put money down on this is that this is the thread you are talking about Opie....

No, I think she went into more detail, like a couple good paragraphs. Darn where was that?

[HateHeaven]

well I'm interested in this also. Please post if you find Opie :jointsmile:

It seems that seed from hermies are prone to offspring susceptible to hermie-ing from stress. That, and the debate over feminized seeds still rages, with many advocating that it's pointless and that seeds in good or ideal conditions will have a just as good of a chance to be female anyway. Also, some claim that seed raised in 12/12 light will have a higher chance to be female. Really, all I can gather is do your own research and experimenting.
