I moved this over from the Seed/Strain Review section....Not sure how/if this can be worked in....But this has worked for me.


I clipped this pic from a fellow grower elsewhere. At the time I had a grow going....all turned out male and hermie. Needless to say I was bummed out.

So I got hold of some quality seeds and was about to germinate. But I thought about this picture diagraming how to identify seeds that will grow into a female plant.

Chrystal ball, voo-doo, dreaming, or crazy....Call it what you want. But I used this chart in choosing which of my seeds to germ. As of today...5/7 plants of mine are female with the last two not yet showing sex.

So I thought I should throw this up here....You be the judge.

Indeed.
I have seen that same lil diagram.

I know who you are talking about.

He has what would seem as 20+ years of expierence.
Not sure where he got it or if he made it up himself.

I would say that it is an example of a seed sexing expierments that spaned over 2+ decades of grow knowledge.

I quess I should say I respect this guys credibility and I would not be suprised if it works 90% of the time.

Well worth a try.
I would recomend it for bag seed growers especially.

I had always thought you couldn't do it. However, I came here to learn new things, and this is definitely a new concept that would certainly be worth trying out. Who knows, it might actually work!

I wouldn't bet the farm on this.

Merry Christmas to you, also, Pappy! Are we the only two fools at the clubhouse on Xmas day?

No there's a few more of us here too.I read a threat on the chart and it said that doing it this way you have a two in one chance of having females.I did this with bag seed in soil and I had all females both times.There is something to it.PEACE

If I remember this chart comes from Nirvana or Soma, One of the big banks. Its an old piece of info..
I have used it with nothing but success. Many times. But then again I am real lucky when it comes to getting females. It's the males I have trouble finding..

After all, how am I gonna keep up my seed supply without males and without ending up with nothing but herms?

The guy that came up with the chart (as far as I know) has a lot of experience growing. He also has my respect too. I give him his dues on his subject. It appears to be correct.

i still can't believe this one, to be sure that it works you would have to grow about 15.000 plants you categorized before, following the chart. at is a lot seeds you would have to look at and then grow to figure it out - to much is you ask me since you would have to grow them also under exactly the same condition - or you would have to cut em up and check their DNA if they are male or female - a bit super spendy to do...

...i just can't sell it to myself.

You have always been against the chart.

I respect that.

It is hard for me to believe something without some sort of proof backing it as well.

I just can not discount it.
Seems like someone went to some sort of trouble.
It seems well thought out.
It also kinda makes sense.
With the female seeds having the concave pit and the males mostly having points.

Seems like there should be a recognizeable trait as any other entity in nature.

Then again how can you tell an egg will hatch a hen or a rooster.

I was under the impression that seeds were like a human womens eggs all female until certain genes had split and decided on what the sex was going to be due to environmental conditions.
But i will certainly give it a try for you guys.

I have many seeds so i will get the old camera out and do 2 of each kind and see what happens.
As always i love these new/old ideas that i have never heard of.

Well interesting

I hate to pipe in, but I feel this is total hogwash, in my opinion.

I mean think about it for a minute, and what you have already been taught, according to one of the largest breeder's in the world, Dutch Passion, sex isnt determined until they are well into vegging.

Dutch Passion clearly states:
From literature and our own 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 two or three weeks, before reverting to standard conditions.

How could any of there findings be true if sex is already determined in the seed?

I also thought it was rubbish but i am always willing to try new stuff to see what happens.
I was always under the impression that environmental and genetic conditions were all that was important

Hey V-Man I will bite on that one..
So DutchPassion is saying I can take a plant fresh in to veg and cut it in to a few clones chage the conditions and in the end the clones from the same plant will show two different sex's.. If anything that is stress related and the males would be hermies..
I remember seeing this info on nirvana, Soma, or some place like that along time ago. Long before it was even posted on the other site.. I have used it a few time and it has always worked for me..
