Hey everyone,

Just sitting here reading the latest issue of Soft Secrets and lo and behold on page 10 there's the usual Nirvana ad, but to the left it says "100% Female seeds"....is this true? Are all Nirvana seeds feminized?

I think thats what they want you to think... but they offer seeds. they claim are 100% feminized. but are more like 98%

For some reason from everything I have read, these big places like Nirvana, and I am sure there are a few other seed suppliers that are all probably feminized for the most part. What I mean is they are all feminized to an extent, but there is another line that is more-so feminized. It would not suprise me a bit that any purchase from the bigger suppliers would normally produce probably 75% females at the minimum of their "cheaper" line. Then if you wanted feminized seeds of the same strain they are more than likely to have another lot of plants producing that same line, which would probably give you a 95% ratio on female plants. I just dont see how anyone can guarantee 100% female in each seed, growing these plants makes us GODS over whether or not they live or die, but there is nothing that I have found that can make us be the ultimate GOD of these plants. There are a few things that nothing we do that controls the sex of the plant. That would ultimately mean the death of a strain if there was not a male to keep it going. Its life, it always takes two different genders to keep life going. Nature always finds a way......

femm'ed plants are often made by stressing a female plant to make male flowers, and pollinated the female with its own pollin....

gibberlillic acid is one way of doing this...


a GOOD fem seed will almost always get ya a female or a mostly fem hermy...


lesser made Fem seeds will often just be hermies...

kinda fun to learn about, i recommend looking into Feminized seeds more!

I read you can only get fem seeds from a hermie if you started out with feminized seeds, or took seeds from a hermie got a regular female made it hermie and did that a few times...

Hmm thanks for replies guys that makes it a bit clearer, but what i meant to ask is: I didn't know that your garden variety Nirvana seeds are feminized at all, meaning that I didn't know they even attempt it with all their seeds. Like Nirvana's White Widow or AK48 or Afghani, their regular strains....are these feminized by them? THanks...

i don't think they're whole stock is femed.... just there feminized line....
