Ferminized method... True? or not

KINGOFTHEWEED said:

i've heard something like that.when a female flowers for to long it will produce seeds but dont know if they would be femenized and know if it's right or not.but if u have a female plant that develops 5-10% male flowers and it self pollinates they should be 98% female seeds.it's something i read in a grow book.anyone know for sure??????

i know m8 thats hermafrodite plant and all seeds gonna be hermafrodites sorry but they are usless u can try and castrate male flowers but thats bit dangerous coz u can miss one and ur females are ficked

is anyone willing to give up a ladie to the art of experiment?? because i think we all want to know if the over flowering myth of a female is true or not.. so if anyone do start a lady with the intentions of it post the progress in this post or start your own post and get us a link to it because that myth is starting to take over my head and if i don't get a answer i'll surely crack up.. i would do this myself but i have to know if it's true or not before i plant my last 2 seeds in their homes.. i got 2 white widow seeds and it would be a disater for me personally if it didn't work out

I plan to run an experiment when I can in my grow journal we were just discussing this very topic I am trying to run a perpetual 12/12 from seed and am trying to find the most effective way to make seeds hopefully with a higher female percentage......IMHO it seems that a female left to flower beyond its prime that produces seeds are feminised, now that doesnt mean every seed will produce a female, most seed bank feminsed seed only have about 85% success rate..with the other 15% being hermi I beleive...... I am growing bagseeds now my last batch were all from the same bag, it was an ounce of crap weed and it had a TON of seeds best guess the plant was either flowered too long or went hermi, of the 10 seeds I saw thru to the end I had 8 females 1 male 1 hermi....with my current grow, the first 5 seeds came from that same batch so far I have 3 females 1 male and 1 that went hermi (not due to the seed I had light leaks)... but if you are interested I do plan to let a girl go well pass her prime until she creates seeds and then run a test with those

how much longer do u think u would have to flower them and would the weed b anygood

well in an article i've read it's over 4 more weeks of flowering.. if i can get some seeds from the weed i get i'll try this with some cfl's whichh would be less expensive to run for the extra flower time.. man you hav to start a new thread and link us to it because i want to know the end result. if the seeds are both male and female or just female. because we may have opened up the easiest way to get a higher % of ferminized seeds without using any type of chemical or stressing the plant in any wayy.

this was discussed in another thread here on riu and it seems that most people belleive its as simple as stressing a female into a hermie to produce female seeds

https://www.rollitup.org/advanced-marijuana-cultivation/93465-feminizing-seeds-hermie.html

no this has noting to do with stressing it's just letting the female flower until she produces her own pollen. the way i was thinking was that it's female flower and polin from a female so y wouldn't it be a higher % of female seeds

that doesnt say anythgin about feminized or making plant into female juss says for mure lush health greebnier plant that while have a greater yield of WHAT EVER it produces so if if ur plant is a male that shit will probably make more pollens saces come out but would be a good idea to use on all marijuana plants for the greater yield effect +rep

Subscribeage...

I want to do it, and yet, four weeks, oof, that's a lot of time that another plant could be in that spot flowering up a new pile of buds.

You don't have to give up a whole female though. You save the pollen in a little vial. Then you put into flowering some new clones, from the same mother (e.g. same genetics) as the female that gave you the pollen after over-flowering. Then you wait until 2-3 weeks into flowering or whatever, get a fine brush, and paint a couple of stalks with the pollen from the vial. You get two seeded stalks (or whatever you want), but the rest of the plant is normal.

That is (supposedly) how to make feminized seeds, or at least a way. That's the method described in Soma's book, which I have somewhere, but can't find because I'm a stoner and misplaced it. Heh. They have to be the same genetics though, e.g. all plants involved are clones from the same mother -- the pollen-producer and the ones you paint with the pollen a generation later.

yeah but i think it would be alot less trouble to just over flower a female then to have to save polen.. this post was started on wondering if the female that polinates it's self by over flower would porduce more female seeds

Ah, I see. I don't think that will work though, but I could be wrong. Figure 9 weeks average for a normal period. Then four more weeks on top of that to produce some male sacs. Then six more weeks for the seeds to mature. I don't know if a cannabis plant would survive like 19 straight weeks of 12/12. It's built in life cycle would normally have ended long before that, so I don't know if it'd actually be capable of spending six weeks maturing some seeds after an already extraordinarily long flowering period.

that's y someone should try it and give a report of it.. well i'm guessin if there is still light the plant will still live

yeah it will survive but as already said an extra 10 weeks on top of your flower period your losing a plant from 2 harvests if your perpetual like most people here thats why colidial silver or gib acid is used to stress 1 to herm then its is harvested for pollen only and this pollen is applied to 1 or 2 buds for seed even on the same cycle if you start the stressin a week or 2 b4 you switch 2 12/12 at 4 weeks the males will have some nice balls they mature quicker than a female thats why the female does herm cos it thinks its missed all the pollen so makes its own the seeds will be female or herm with a high chance of herm if self pollinated which is also why another "pure" female is used to impregnate have fun breeding is even more satisifying than growing imo
peace supaskunk

ok but i have a question... if i have a mother plant and take 2 clones from her. and then flower both clones but only stress one, that will become a hermie so when the hermie polinates it will polinate itself and the pure female then produce ferminized seeds in the pure female's bud and hermie dominate seeds in it's self??

yeaah but your better painting the pollen on than getting it through your grow room/ all over the plant you can get many seeds from 1 bud

another question instead of leavinc the whole plant couldnt you just leave some of the lower buds to overmature and produce seeds?

yes people do reveg stumps after cutting the buds so you could leave some and try that way

If you want a hermie for the fem seeds, and don't wanna wait the extra time, around the third week of flowering, just screw with its 12/12 cycle. That will stress it into hermie. Then after it gets pollinated, its about 4 weeks or so to grow the seeds. Then all matures at the same time.
