To produce feminized seeds, you start with selected female clones.
Under standard conditions these female clones do not produce any male
flowers. By methods found, we are able to have these female clones
produce abundant male flowers and pollen (see photos). The pollen thus
produced is use for the production of our "feminized" seeds.
Environmental factors
It appears that the growth of a male or female plant from seed,
except for the predisposition in the gender chromosomes, also depends
on various environmental factors. The environmental factors that
influence gender are:
1)a higher nitrogen concentration will give more females.
2)a higher potassium concentration will give more males.
3)a higher humidity will give more females.
4)a lower temperature will give more females.
5)more blue light will give more females.
6)Fewer hours of light will give more females. It is important to start
these changes at the three-pairs-of-leaves stage and continue for two or
three weeks, before reverting to standard conditions.
