The Seed Collectors Thread

[cerberus]

Bad weather should trigger the production of more females, not less. Because one male can pollinate many females creating many more seeds next year to ensure survival.

However one fem and many males will produce a minimum amount of seeds ensuring that the plant will have trouble surviving.

yes but females are staionary. when male plants get stressed they don't start throwing buds but when females get stressed they throw males. remember males are XY and females are XX and femaile chromozones are not mobile, but males are, so a girl can become a boy but a boy can not become a girl..

word meng. i don't know that much about it, but i read a lot and i try.

and i stayed at a holliday inn last night

Cerberus there's a differance between "manipulating growth patterns" and determining a plants sex via environment...... then when is the exact moment sex is determined? One week into growth? Two? Bullshit.

Male pollen can travel miles but it wont do any good if theres no fems to pollinate. If fems can hermi and produce seed, then the male would not be needed and "evolution" would have killed off the males.

If sex is deternined during vegetative growth then how are fem seeds made? They are made by forcing a female to pollinate a female, leaving no male genetics to influence the sex. Genetics is the only factor imo. We know how important solid genetics are, that's why we collect fine genetics and pay up to 110+ a pack.

Mohan ram said you could fem seeds with 2 -3 weeks exposure to banana peel ethelyne.

A Friend reported 9 of 11 fems in his current run.
18 0f 21 fems last yrs run.

I need to try it more..

How do U expose a plant to Ban. peel ethylene? Wrap a peel around the stalk,like a piece of bacon around a Rib-Eye?

 

[TheLastWood]

Haha I remember this crazy dude in school, obsessed with war, reading tom clancy in 6th grade, anarchist cookbook dude, sayin if u let a banana peel dry out and scrape the white styff off the inside of the peel "you can smoke it and get fucked up!"......... lmao good luck with that

 

[cerberus]

ok ok.

i give up you guys are right.

 

[SketchyGrower]

I run 24/7 on clones and 18/6 on seedlings... I do this with out really knowing why...lolol

I think in order to get a lot of females, you have to be searching for a nice male. ....... I don't know anything for sure either, but that's what I believe to be true. Its what makes sense to me................. jkhan mushies grow quite a bit faster than cannabis. I haven't harvested yet but I finally have them growing. Even a cool 2 mushrooms that share a cap! Siameese lol. I was getting worried, it took 2 weeks in the fruiting chamber to get pins. Its not uncommon from my researching but pins CAN show up in 72hrs, or even while still consolidating in the jars!.......jkhan ur on nettics rite? Ill put up a pic in the mycology thread I started later........ its very satisfying, like learning all over again. Pretty cheap investment and harvest in 6-8 weeks.

Thus there is a clear-cut division of functionsand morphogenetic fates between the embryo and theendosper - M Ram




It's not set in stone.

You put the seeds in a bag then put it in another bag with old nanner peals.

He also said you could make fems by exposing the plant to large ammounts of banana peals befor an after pollenization.

 

[hornedfrog2000]

ive always read lower temps and more dark hours =more females not sure if thats a fact though

It's in nature everywhere. Harsh conditions cause there to be more females. It happens with reptiles all the time too. You stress the shit out of a plant and it will dump females. I think that is why fem seeds happen in the first place. It's like so they guarantee the genes are passed on. you only need 1 male for probably 10000 females.

 

[Danksalot]

well, its official. people will believe anything they read..........its genetics.cmon people. stop saying and reading stupid shit........

i hear, growing your seeds in fresh dog shit gaurantess 100%fems. give it a shot.

Now that I think about it I've read that it can induce hermie too, because it thinks it has to pollinate itself to keep the genes going... I know for a fact that reptiles will produce almost entire litters of females though when they are stressed, so maybe it can go either way and it's something someone needs to toy with...

You don't read very much huh?

 

[SketchyGrower]

just got the sour jack in from the tude... little bit confused as my package had a gaping rip down the side... hope this new brown bag envelope is not the standard from them now

 

[hornedfrog2000]

There is research to back my opinion. It's called environmental sexual determination, or ESD. It's why hermies are even made in the first place, and it's why they throw fem seeds. You want to learn do some googling on what I just said. If you want to live in your ignorant little bubble go for it. There are even cases of animals getting pregnant without ever having SEX, because they are trying to keep the species going. I read all day every day hours on end bud, and then I got out and fix cars and do mechanical work. I know a lot about a lot, so don't act like you have some vast knowledge that everyone here is clamoring for, because I assure you nobody cares if you ever post again.

Hey dude, if it's not too much typing, do you mind sharing your sterilization methods? Or a link maybe? I tried growing mushies a long time ago, but it didn't work. I think I had other issues besides sterilization though.

If you haven't watched the PF tek vids on youtube check them out.

Right on homie. I always forget that YouTube has everything imaginable on it. And that makes me feel like I'm getting old and losing touch with technology because kids go straight to YouTube without even thinking about it. LOL
