Info on "Feminized Seeds"
From literature and other findings, it appears that the growth of a male or female plant from seed, except for the predisposition in the gender chromosomes, also depends on various environmental factors. The environmental factors that influence gender are: a higher nitrogen concentration will give more females. a higher potassium concentration will give more males. a higher humidity will give more females. a lower temperature will give more females. more blue light will give more females. Fewer hours of light will give more females. It is important to start these changes at the three-pairs-of-leaves stage and continue for at least two or three weeks. .... stolen off the Internet ... :smokin:
the image reaper Reviewed by the image reaper on . Gender Question Well first off, I'm new to forum here. So hey everybody. I've been reading posts here and elsewhere and one thing has puzzled me. Some of the things I've read say a plant's sex is genetic but at the same time a number of people suggest there are certain factors (ie warmth) that can increase the likelihood of growing a female. I don't see how this could be if the plant's sex is genetic. So my question: Is a seed inherently a certain sex or do enviromental factors contribute to the gender? Rating: 5
