Sexing Method; Fact or Fiction?

[jon420]

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

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

hmm I thought it was a piece a cake, I been using it for years with no problem. ..please, no offence, but how do you know what other people want or don't want?
