If you are only getting an eighth, you might not be letting her go long enough to mature the seeds. Takes about 7-9 weeks from pollination for seeds to reach full maturity. (and thusly, full viability)


What color were/are the seeds? If tan or yellow, they are not mature. Some tan seeds germinate, but it's an inconsistent result, and genes may not be fully developed.

With a 'crop' that small, I'd place in a paper lunch bag, (unwaxed) and let dry till it starts to feel a tad crispy. Open once a day to replace the damp air inside.(different conditions dictate actual dry time for this) Then I'd remove buds from the branches and put 'em in the jar. Open jar once or twice a day for a few minutes to let the outgassed vapors escape.



From pollination, 7-9 weeks of maturation is mandatory. I pollinate the pistols on the lower branches of the plant only. That way, if the rest of the plant is ready to harvest, you can remove all the 'seedless' buds, and let the seeds (lower branches) continue maturing.
I put about a quarter inch of ph'd water in a little glass spice jar, and add the seeds. Once they drop to the bottom, and start to split, I plant them in a cup of soil. Keep moist till sprout appears. If the seed covers don't want to open...'scuffing' the seed suture with fine sandpaper helps the water to absorb into the seed, kick-starting the germination process. Don't sand down all the way to the embryo, tho...just a little scuff will do. (You can't do this after you've tried germinating them, tho. Must be done before getting 'em wet)

In all honesty...I'd first see if you can bring a lady (and her seeds) all the way to full maturity, before screwing with genetic modifications. (femming seeds). Tiz very easy to ruin quality genetics, and there's no going back. Also, learning to clone can help shorten the grow process, especially if femming seeds.

Most folks can easily get an ounce, (dried and cured) from a lady in a 3 gallon soil grow. If you can reach this milestone, perhaps you are ready to play. Till then, would recommend you just work on your technique and patience.


Great feedback! You sir are the man. Kudos'
