i wouldn`t recomend the paper towel method. i just put them in a glass of tap water,( my tap ater is perfect ph) usualy in the cupboard ( dark ) but this time i put the galss on my hot water tank. keeps it a littl ebit warmer. about 5 or so degrees.
when you use the paper way you stand a chance of tearing the microscopic tiny roots that do form, this causes a small amount of shock right fron the get go.

Yea ive tryed all the ways glass of water all that , paper towel suits me ive heard you can damage the root i be careful. Im sweet with that ..............

Its the 90% chance of making fem,s i need to know .. so i just up them temps and i can get as good as 90% fem,s from, regular seeds sounds to good to be true . What strains have you tryed it on thats worked 90% fems and how many times did you try it ?

switched to fem seeds a few years ago, grown nothing but fem seeds since. 4-5 crops per year for three years, never had a male, one hermi, if you would call three or four sacks that i just cut off the plant a hermie? cloned from them no probs, never had a clone herm on me. for me fem seeds are well worth it. in alot of cases now theyre cheaper than the regular equivalent, and some seed companys are begining to go feminised only, only releasing new crosses in feminised form.

the up temp is for this strain dutch reat. others heve different ways. my last chemo batch it workrd for.
some seeds has a great way of explaining it. i had it save to my favs on my comp but the info came from another local site for me and they have been down, they have been getting attacked from some clown on there that they kicked off, he was trying to recruit dealers. now he`s a little upset. if i can find it again i will post it.
also iether chiceh or fdd on here posted awhile ago a chart to tell by looking at the seeds. the small dimple needs to be perfectly round apperently, haven`t treid that one though. i`m not 100% possitive if was them but i know i saw it here.
i`ll ask them.

i feel the reason they may only sell fem seeds is because it`s less work and double the profit.
1 or 10 flowers a hermie is a hermie. yes if there arent` many just take them off.

i just put my seeds straight out the pack into jiffy pellets rehydrated with tap water then into a propagator in a warmish cupboard, and i get near on 100% germ rate within 2-3days every time, i dont understand the need for germing in tissue or soaking in water?? or any other of these germing methods :confused:

i always thought a true hermie was a plant that had 50/50 male female flowers. and three or four male flowers in three years of growing nothing but fem seeds isnt bad i dont think, i would of had just as much chance of a herm with reg seeds.

ya you got good results there. but ya if you get one hermie and you didn`t take it off it would have taken over the plant.

the higher temps i am refering to is while poping seeds not during veg and thier already growing, then there are different . but pertain to temp and humidity.
using seeds will almost always give a stronger plant and more bud and more potent than clones
and again this temp thing is with the strain i am working on now. they are all different. it took me a long time to connect with these breeders to get my info.

your better off just growing a seed when its good enough to clone do so and root the clone when the clone develops the roots put it on the 12/12 system and see what it becomes if u get a male the other plant u cloned of of iz no good throw it out...ur better of doing this with numerous plants unil u get a female..when u get a female keep it as the mother plant and ever now a then get clones from her just take extra good care of it...thats how u should have done it instead of waiting to sex the plant ...

i bought 10 feminised medusa seeds and all were female. no hermies and these babies got a lot of stress. i went on holiday for a week and diddnt feel comfortable leaving the lights on. even with the timer just in case, gave em a good watering last inute, turned lights off and diddnt come back for a week, when i did they were a bit wilted but with a bit of care they were back to good health. got just under an ounce from each plant, 4 in total. i wouldnt recomment this however. i'd say i had a lot of luck.[/quote

you should be locked up for abuse.lol j/k

first time i`ve heard of someone being able to shut a light of for a week then turn it back on and no stress and hermying. probably didn`t have enough time to form flowers thats all.

Ive read some on this and always found it hard to believe a few of those grow bibles write about this ..I am intrested thou ,

In my veg room the humidity levels are always high and temps so if i start a few seeds they would get the same treatment in my clone dome , its still normaly 60/40 eather way . If this worked it would mean my 10x pack of seeds should give out 1 male most times

Fem seeds are cool if its just a mother you need , the only hermie ive ever had was from Regulal seeds from sensi
