Feminized Seeds From Female Plant?

Discussion in 'First Time Marijuana Growers' started by rango57, Apr 24, 2014.

  1. So i live in the U.K and last summer i got a 5 pack of feminized greenhouse greenomatic auto flowering seeds. I grew them outdoors and 4 of them worked.....got like just under 3 ounces from all of them without any nutrients or anything, plain simple soil. When i was curing the buds i noticed i had like 30 seeds in the bottom of my jar? i kept them in an airtight jar the past like 6 months and planted about a week ago. they have sprouted again but i just want to know if the seeds will be female? i have no idea as this is only my second grow. any help would be brilliant!

     
  2. Those plants hermied. I won't plant seeds that come from a herm'd plant. Herm plants typically produce herm seeds. I know this from experience. First plant I ever grew was bagseed. It herm'd on me. I subsequently did another grow with seeds from the herm'd plant. She herm'd too. It's not worth it IMO. But hell if you're having success with no nutrients and little or no maintenance, fuck it, go for it. But you will get more seeds.
     
  3. Seeds, as long as there's very few, are a good thing IMO. Means you have another free grow coming. ;)

  4. Cheers for the reply guys! I've already planted 5 of the seeds and they have sprouted so will probably just leave them and see what happens! Is there a chance they could be male? Or all hermie? I'm going to get 5 fem candy kush autos as well, do you guys have any experience with them or better recommendations for autos?

  5. Seeds from a female plant that has some male parts will be all female.  Many people use this method to get feminized seeds.  There is a spray that you can use on one branch of the plant that will cause it to grow balls that you can then use to fertilize the plants.  The spray costs money and you got your seeds for free. It will be interesting to see if they turn out all right.
     
  6. So to make female seeds you have to get one female plant to turn hermaphrodite, then using the male sacks of pollen from the hermaphrodite plant you then pollinate another female plant. The reason this works is beacuse the male pollen sacks on a hermaphrodite plant are no longer male but have become female pollen and obviously using female pollen on another female plant = feminised seeds. Although this being said this isnt always the case and female seed to hermaphrodite percentages can be somtimes very poor. The feminised seeds we get from shops have been cubed and cubed to lower chances of hermaphrodite plants, CH9 boasts 99.9% female seeds but iv had some herms...

    So now knowing this the chances your plants "female" pollen managed to pollinate one of your other female plants is low and the chances of if that did happen that those seeds will be feminised are even lower but, if your happy with the outcome of what you got from this grow plant those seeds allow them to produce more buds and more seeds ready for thr next run :)
     
  7. Nice! Fountain of knowledge you guys haha I will just carry on with them then as I was more than happy with them last time

  8. You are most likely to get more hermies. Good breeders DO NOT use naturally hermied seeds to get feminized seeds. They use chemicals to force a plant that would not hermie otherwise to develop male flowers. The plants that grew your seeds have a genetic predisposition to hermie, which will be passed to the offspring.
     
  9. If you're wondering what chemicals they use to force a female to grow balls/go hermie:
    It's just silver!
    They put a piece of pure silver in water and run an electrical current through it. This causes the silver to dissolve very slowly in the water, creating a mixture called "colloidal silver". Spraying this on regular basis on your female plants will cause them to create pollen with female genetics!

    I tried to do that on my last grow and never did get any balls. It was colloidal silver from a heath food store. I will try it again with some outdoor blackberry I got going on.
     
  11. please stop giving false information. There's no guarantee that all seeds from a hermied plant will all be female. Chances are that some will Hermie. This is why I don't order "feminized" seeds. I'd rather take my chances with regulars. Odds are much better that way, and the bud will turn out just as dank, just not with a trendy name.

  12. Did you spray on regular basis?
    What was the PPM rate of the colloidal silver? If it's too low then it won't be effective. I think that the version for human consumption does not have a high PPM rate for it to work.

    I have had great luck with feminised seeds. I dont want regulars unless i want to grow more seed.
     
     
     
    I did a one time light application.
    It was only 10 PPM. I used it on bubblicious, Hawaiian skunk and blueberry. I did not use very much also.
     
    Iv also figured im a lazy bastard so its not a big deal to buy fem seeds. :)
     
    let the pros do it right...

    Tiersias Mist is available from the company or from Amazon.  If you spray one branch of your plant it will cause that branch to grow balls and then you can pollinate one or two buds. It is not and does not contain colloidal silver.  Seeds from this plant will be all female.
    I agree you probably don't want to grow seeds from a naturally occurring hermie, but when you force a plant to hermie you will get feminized seeds.  That is how the breeders do it to get feminized seeds.

    This is like saying, "I want the high class transvestite, not the cheap one on the corner down the street."
     
    The instructions for the mist is 21 days straight before flower or something to that nature.
     
  16. Damn there is a lot of bullshit information being thrown out in this thread.
