I found an answer for one of my questions "Sometimes a female plant contains male flowers, its rare but it happens. The male flowers on a female plant contain the same chromosomes as the female plant itself (X-X). This means that the Female plant can fertilise itself and can grow seeds that can only contain Female Chromosomes and thus grow female plants." But I still can't figure out how you can be sure you're getting a cloned female during the veg stage.
qdavid Reviewed by qdavid on . Cloning? I've been reading that a clone should be taken from a plant during the veg stage. But if during the veg stage, how do you know it's female you're cloning or are you just going by luck. I'm also curious how seed banks get their "feminized" seeds. Is there something they do to the seed or how can they tell it's a female? Rating: 5
