Higher Female Ratio (Again..) - Page 2

Wow, I'm glad my thread is getting some attention after 2 weeks. I personally have never really experimented with these methods. I only copied this information because I have used other information from that site. So skunk what you are saying is that basically the seeds are pre-disposed to be male or female. I hear people say that is true and then I see information like the above source floating around. I can personally say that because of all the different information I can not be sure to which information is true. The above ideas are not ones that I have created, but was hoping that maybe a few people would or have tried these and really do believe that these methods work. If anyone has 100% true information on how sex of a plant can be determined without putting it into flowering then please enlighten all of us. I for one can only plant as many seeds as I can and hope for the best.

Not me, that's what your article said. It said that plants are sexually predisposed. I like the way the article said gives more females... yet most plants are grown singly in individual pots, and all (I imagine) are treated with the same methods. This proves that these are not definite, proven methods. As (whomever it is) claims only certain amount turn out female anyway. Whereas if it were a proven method then all would turn out female. Even in the wordage of the article it sounds very touch and go. What exactly happens to the male chromosome, does it disappear completely... or not.

If anyone is to try these experiments it would be wise to keep a close eye out for hermies. Makes sense to me.

i totaly agree with skunkushybrid ( for once lol ) i definately wont be givin young plants high concentration of p or k ..as for the other methods that article mentions i dont know if they will work seems like BS to me ,and the problem is its allmost impossible to say ( if u used these methods ) wether or not they worked or you just got lucky with the m-f ratio .

- Another idea is to interrupt the night cycle with about one hour of light. This gives you more females.

This is called light poisoning. Its a technique used to produce a hermy, hermies produce feminized seeds - 100% females

This also showed up on another thread and Kindprincess said she was going to test it.

It's a technique used to produce hermies (which btw if they are not natural hermies they WILL NOT produce 100% female seeds) not fucking females. You try and turn a male into a female and hermy is the best you are going to get. At least have the decency to know what you're talking about before relaying information to other people.

What's a natural hermie vs. an unnatural (?) hermie?

skunkushybrid · #19 05-13-2007, 06:31 AM

A natural hermy will produce nigh on 100% fem's, with a very small ratio allotted to males and hermies. Although the fem's produced from a natural hermy will have a stability factor that can turn them hermy.

A forced hermy will have a much larger variable in terms of male/hermy-female ratio. In other words you'll get many more males. Although there are techniques to encourage more females as the sex of the seed from these plants are very unstable.

This is where the mistake is coming in. The research mentioned by the starter of this thread is to do with hermies, not normal plants where the stability of sex is much stronger.

easy skunk. I was in dissagreement with the statement "- Another idea is to interrupt the night cycle with about one hour of light. This gives you more females." and that was a quote. If you'll read what I said after that, what I said is pretty much exactly what I read in the grow faq. So if that info is wrong, then it shouldn't be there, THAT was the info I was relaying. Take it easy Mr.! Sheesh, u call urself a stoner?
