I've never trown out more than I've needed. Outdoors I have more than plenty to search through. Indoors I've never taken a chance using anything but. I've also never paid for seeds either. But like I already said your right many I don't use could be female. Again it's just a sure thing for me and I'm sure many others. All I can say is try it. With me it's always been 100% and that's been many many seeds. Not sure what you mean by benefit.?? I'll bet that there may be ovel females but never round males.
I mean, what advantage does a seed have for showing its sex? None. Nothing in nature needs to identify it's sexual orientation in a seed stage. All plant seeds are slightly misshaped even A-sexual seeds. You might be really lucky I guess but the likelihood this is scientific fact is a bit if a stretch.

Thanx for jumping in, @Blent . I was starting to think I was the only science-minded adult on the site. This kind of crap drive me crazy. The worst part is newbs reading this and buying into it because they really want to believe it. Geezuz!

It's been scientifically proven. Obviously you didnt go to the link that FeezyBear99 attached above. There's no way in hell I just got lucky with as many as I've grown, it's not possible. Like the link says only ONE in ten will have a perfectly round indentation. Try it then you will believe. Next time you grow from seed mark any seed that has this. It will be female. I really don't care what you think because in know this works. I've been growing for over 30 years and have no reason to bull shit or make up stories. Again just try it. Your arguing a fact that you've never tried. Peace

When has this been scientifically proven? Could be a theory, at best, but I've yet to see any studies or tests to support this.

FozzyBear99 did upload a file...but I don't see how this is scientific what so ever? It's just some mumbo jumbo... seem's like someone came up with a theory and wrote it in a journal or something. Give us something with a credible source.

Ok for what its worth, this seed was chosen using this method. When the sex is determined you can chalk it up to chance or fact, its up to you.

But its now day 14 since sprout and Im starting to see growth finally. I gave a super light feed of sea-90 and topdressed it with some bokashi bran in hopes to encourage microbial life to do its magic.
When is it ok to start the NFTG regimen?

Well its been a good minute since the last update and it doesn't look good at all.
It grew new leaves, but still very tiny overall. Also the leaves, one at a time, keep turning brown little by littlr every day. It hasn't grown taller at all it looks like. Hopefully it changes? Im just giving it water every 3-4 days.
But Im going to probably give this little one less attention and plant some other seeds. Friend of mine gave me some ghost train haze x gorrila glue. Planted them 2 days ago.

Not to nitpick, but. . . . .

From wiki wiki:

This is the Difference Between a Hypothesis and a Theory. ... In scientific reasoning, a hypothesis is constructed before any applicable research has been done. A theory, on the other hand, is supported by evidence: it's a principle formed as an attempt to explain things that have already been substantiated by data.



And the sex of seeds are flexible. When I'm looking for males, I germ in 85F+ temps and I get more. That is my hypothesis anyway.

Day 53 from seed and its still tiny standing 4" tall but its growing...finally.
Just been watering this lil one with the occasional Myco Jordan.
Some will say its a waste of time energy and nutes to keep this runt going but I just want to keep it and see how she turns out.
Interesting that she keeps making 4finger leaves....
Your soil needs aeration components like perlite. It just looks like soil, which compacts too much for cannabis. And without aeration, you’re probably overwatering and choking your roots. It should be dry and light before it gets watered again. This trains the roots to grow and search for water.

The sex of seeds is not flexible. Hopefully your joking. You can not change the sex of a seed period. Running High air temps will not make more males. When the seed is formed it's either male or female. Or in some cases both. Like I said I can select female seeds. Give me 50 seeds and I'll pick 10 all females.

Thanks. Maybe I should transplant to a bigger pot now with a better mix of soil?

No joke. I first heard of it from Sub Cool {of You Tube fame}. I tried it and it seemed to work for me. I was working with a strain that was 80% or more female. My seed supply was limited, and I was scared I would run out of seeds before I found a good male. I watered my seed trays with hot hose water, {I'm outdoors from seed drop} and got up to 50% males from the same seeds. It may have been dumb luck, but that is what happened.

I think it’s a good idea, especially if
You were going to anyway. Make sure to break up the root ball before you re-pot it. Make sure your soil mix contains things like perlite, coco coir or peat as these are specifically to keep that soil texture from collapsing, with tons of tiny spaces for air to sit.

That helps the roots to shoot through the soil, improving their root network and helping your plant flourish.

50% That's exactly what they should be. I don't believe the hot cold BS for a second. I guess same as some people dont believe me. So what your saying is cannabis seeds are not male and female? Your saying that there both male and female until popped. And you can make a seed turn male or female by thetemperature of water you spray on them?imfao this has got to be a joke come on. Hilarious
