Seed Selection

BloodShotI'z · 08-10-2007, 01:17 AM

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, 4kaan4.

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.
