So I wanna know, is seeds from a hermie gonna be hermie plants?
Feminized seeds come from hermis. The plant is stressed and goes into survival mode and produces both male and female parts to ensure its survival. 1 out of every 10 seeds will most likely hermie but you loose the seed curve. The seed curve is this. Every generation for seed is better than the generation before it unless it was stressed.

They actually test their products in other countries on very specific crops that match what the majority of the people buying their products use them for. miracle grow is for yards. Ask yourself this, Have you ever seen a farmer use miracle grow?
No,i must admit that i have never seen a farmer use Miracle Grow,on the same token ive never seen a farmer use Senis Bloom or Fox Farms either.

Myth: no one has ever died from smoking marijuana

Fact: Researchers in Boston have found that the risk of a heart attack goes up nearly five times in the first hour after smoking a joint.

For someone in their 20s, the risk is so low to begin with that it remains insignificant. But for older people, a factor of five could mean trouble.
"People's risk for coronary artery disease increases as they enter their 40s and 50s, so the risks associated with smoking marijuana, which might have been a trivial issue when people were younger, may now pose a significant health concern," said the lead researcher Murray Mittleman, director of cardiovascular epidemiology at Boston's Beth Israel Deaconess medical centre.
In the US, there is evidence that cannabis consumption is on the rise among people in the 30 to 50 age group. But the study is not as bleak as it sounds for middle aged pot users. To put it in proportion, the researchers admit that smoking a joint puts no more extra strain on the heart than strenuous physical exercise - which is recommended as a general tonic.
Another catch in the research is that it is based on interviews with people who have just survived heart attacks, and does not look at the relative cardiac health of cannabis smokers versus non-users in the population as a whole.
Of the 3,882 interviewees, only 3% admitted to having used cannabis in the year before their heart attack, and only 0.2% - nine people - smoked it in the hour before.
On the basis of this small sample, the Boston scientists concluded that in the hour after smoking a joint the relative risk of a heart attack increased by 4.8 times.
Studies have shown that cannabis use increases heart rate, but it is not clear how it may trigger a heart attack. To muddy the picture still further, cannabis smokers were found to be more likely than non-users to be overweight and to smoke tobacco, additional risk factors for heart disease
Ya, well, I think beans cause heart problems. I know a whole bunch of people who had eaten beans and then later had a heart attack. That proves it, beans cause heart failure!:weed: :shock:

I am 63 and have never had heart or any problems with my lungs. I know a lot of people my age with the same deal, but most of those that ate beans are dead or on their death bed. Joke ya'll, laugh now!

flyer i am having a hard time understanding
this but am very interested, could you put it another way?
cuz i have been trying to find out if some seeds that i made using light poison are safe to invest my time in:confused:

Light poison? Like what? Coltracine (sp)?

Look in advanced growing for the thread about femming seeds. It is all in that with a good explanation as well.

I am interested in what kind of poison you used to produce seeds. :joint::joint::joint: flabs

retards hear Miracle grow works! They demand respect for a great product!

ANYONE can grow with an average product...retards think it's great because it works!

Forums like these aren't about average growers......we're discussing superior growing techniques.

Floro's rock! Yea you can produce AMAZING grows with floro's...you can't hold a candle to HID lights. Stop telling people you can!

Hydroponics are awesome! You'll never make a weed taste as good as a good ol fashion soil mix...but that's still being debated.

Everyone here is an expert! Well if you posted in this thread...that proves you wrong.

Tin Foil...or reflective surfaces....if you are using floro's ...don't even consider posting about hot spots. Dumb ass people who use 1000W bulbs with tin foil...well...you deserve to burn shit up!

myth:
pollinated females stop producing thc to to put the bulk of its energy into making healthy seeds.
females do not stop producing thc when pollinated thats like saying that if one pistol gets fertilized the rest of the plant shuts down to make 1 seed.
here's a kid that's never really smoked good weed.

When you can afford it....try the "seedless" stuff.

Soil. you can buy really shitty soil @homedpot et. al. that have almost no pore space. you can make it usable with amendments but not as good as just the amendment themselves(soil less mixes). I've also bought soil that was so hot with N It would have killed the plants if I didn't do a massive flush. Granted if I would have used more amendments it would probably have reduced or eliminated this problem, but the soil seemed fine texturally, so i didn't bother. I don't remember which brand. Where I buy soil FF costs about 3 times as much as mid grade soil. these days I am going about 2/3 soil less, i/3 FF. I grudgingly switched to FF after trying to go cheap w/soil for a long time. It is one of the few "brand" products I use, cuz it's easier than worrying and fixing.:hump:
excellent myth....a guy/gal that does't have a clue...bases his facts on his own limited experience and spews them as facts....gotta love the general public attitude!

myth: the ground wire isn't important when wiring fans/lights

Fact: the ground wire is the only thing keeping you safe if the black wire fails
no if you leave the ground wire off...it defaults to neutral. If you get "shocked" from a fan....it's because you're a dumb ass. A simple 2 way circuit can't be grounded.

yes I do base my knowledge on my experience. yes, i stated my reasons for my opinion. I'm waiting for you to show that you have a clue...but I'm not holding my breath:eyesmoke:

my growth shows mine....what can you show?


oh yea..that 4" plant you were talking about.


Sorry...I bow out to the superior authority!

Bluediemond - thanks for stopping by to shit on this thread ;-)

i enjoyed the name calling and the clear facts...
I wasn't being an ass honestly...I was being point blank. If you were seriously looking for experienced growers....you were at the wrong site. If you were looking for fun and flames....well that's what's in this thread. The fun was the BS "myths" with a ton of inexperienced answers....the flames was simply me calling people wrong..which would be considered flames.....I guess me calling everyone dumbass didn't help tho.

Myth: using birth control in your water (1pil per gallon) will increase you growth speed and bud size

truth: its a f-ing birth control pill that contains progestern a hormone that does not even occure in plants

There are several methods to producing fem seeds. Real breeders like DP spray their plants with aluminum sulfate to stress them out.

Hermi are a direct result of a plant fearing for its exsistance. Plants are extremely adaptable to environment (clones are a good example). In this case the plant has been stressed somehow. Lets say it has root rot. It will continue to produce more roots (using energy that it could have used for something else). If the rot gets bad enough where the plant may not survive, it will produce both male and female traits. This way it can self pollinate itself, produce seeds, and live on through its offspring. Majority of the seeds it produces will be female to insure future seed crops so it can live on. Understand that one pollen sack can pollinate many plants and most males have several sacks. In all genetics, inbreeding is bad, but it is better than death. So the plant chooses the lesser of the 2 evils.
Personally, I will not use seed from hermi and I disagree with the production of fem seeds. I understand their value to the consumer but in the grand scheme of things they are bad
