Hi everyone,
I would like to know if you ever heard of security seeds that sometime females grow inside the cola?
I'm giving you the hint because I knew some very good inside hydroponic cannabis grower, who called them security seeds when they find some, usually no more than one or two seeds in the cola only, and they also says that they are in most case 90% "female" seeds.
Those guys are good at what they do, so no doubt in my mind that it happened without the presence of male or hermie... My own experience also tell's me that it doesn't seem to alter the THC production and taste on those specials females (not all plants on a crop have those so called, security seeds hidden in cola). They also always refer to the fact that sometimes female strongly need to perpetuate in a let's call "lesbians environnement" (also seen this argument everywhere on forums).
For my part, I'm having problems right now. I have started 10 unknown kind probably blueberry or bubble gum "maybe" security seeds if it exist found in a dealer's bag that a friend bought and it was similar as what we are used to smoke (indoor hydroponic blueberry or things like that M39 at most cheapest without seeing seeds in it since 1992 or so lolll before that we were smoking hashich from jamaica afghanistan colombia or cashmire), so at first I germed 9 plants that I didn't have a clue what they were, so I've made 2-3 cuttings on each one and put them in flowering. When everybody showed signs, I was clearly having 1 male and a bit later the rest were females. Thrown away the males (consider that when a male show's itself, you have sometime as low as 24 hours before they put you in deep shit). I was now having 26 females (18 who have been reversed rapidly into vege) to make my cuttings, made two pans of 80 babies for a total of 160, 5 plants per square foot on a sea of green with 2x1000watt HPS 4'x8' flooding table with 45 gallons tank and pump in 4"x4" rockwool, considering to add CO2 apport soon, hoping to get 2 pounds of cannabis at the end of the process.
All of them where put on table in a 5 days gap period.. They where all about the same size 3" to 5" then I've put them in flowering. Note that I have at that time 8 big 36" tall and 18 large 18" tall outside the table in pans that I manually feed + 160 babies on table. All my lights fans and water are on timers on 12/12 with 3 to 4 feedings a day depending on exterior temperature. The temp are 15C at night almost 25C in hot daytime with 50-60% humidity, no pest of any kind no noticable deficiency neither. The day and night period are respected with no light at all at nightime and a+b vege was used and a+b bloom fertilizer on a 7 days water flushing schedule and daily fresh water to keep level. Since I don't know what kind of cannabis I'm playing with, it will be hard to know when to flush with fresh water for the last two weeks, but I will try to get help from a veteran green thumb and a good magnifier. By now I was living on a dream.........
But after 1 week, surprise... 1 or 2 grapes of 3 balls on about 10 already flowering and so nice females. There was nothing in the morning and when I came back from work at 5.. hello problemo, this was on last friday. Considering the 5 days gap between the two cuttings pan I'm on constant alert to chop those hermies as soon as they appear. My final thinking is that I was first having 1 maybe male and a bunch of I don't know what. By now one of the first 8 big has hermie caracteristics and is already gone. The things I have learned is that you must always mark every one to know which moms they came from even if you were sure of sex. Starting from seeds is one of a kind experience that I will try to bypass next time by finding someone who can provide me with already known female cuttings. So it may be true (I hope..) that security seeds exists and (I hope..) that in a proportion of 90% females 10% males or hermies/shocked females depending on your allegience. Near future will tell in my case. I pray everyday that they are not already ALL in seeding process.
For those asking if cannabis pollen is nefast if drop in a female crop, I've heard that for certain species, if you don't desinfect 2 or 3 times EVERYTHING, it can be present and viable for 150 years... I'm not pretending to be nowhere near an expert, but maybe it's also part of the answer you're looking for.. Nothing can be taken for sure when mother nature is involve...
P.S. Sorry, if you don't understand everything
