WATER THIEF

Tom's comment's on the other hand are entirely within character.

Yeah and that's on one of my good days.

 

There are good reasons why experienced growers rarely use feminised seeds, especially for large outdoor crops where there is to be little supervision (you guys should research this a bit), clones on the other hand are being used with great success here in WA.

You are arguing with yourself. If you read Logger King's post he said cuttings or seed. Subsequent comments were in response to Luke's statement that feminised seeds are a myth, which they clearly aren't. Or perhaps your suggestion of research was directed at Luke? If so I apologise.

Oh yeah, feminised seeds are so popular and stable that everyone has no more problems with males and they're always straight female races with no reversion to hermaphrodite lines...

 

Feminisation is a very difficult process and it has yet to be proven that it's a permanent genetic exclusion. Hemp hasn't got a standard XY chromosome like us, plants are a little more complex than that.

 

Simply because companies sell feminised (note they're never pure female, only feminised) seed doesn't mean it's necessarily any good. Nor does it mean that it's stable. Nor does it mean that they've truly cracked the sexual expression of cannabis.

 

And logger said cuttings or female seed. Female seed, IMHO is a waste of time, breeding effort and is very very rarely truly successful. Perhaps "myth" was too strong a word, granted, but they certainly don't live up to the often repeated hype. Cuttings would always be female but in my experience on this side of the country, which may or may not really be relevant in this case, large scale outdoor growers have tended to crop with well known and stable IBL's by seed, with rouging of males a common practice. It's something you'd have to do with "feminised" seed anyway, as it's so rare to be done correctly that males and hermies will almost always appear, particularly with a large plant selection of 1000's....

 

If you're a commercial outdoor cultivator who regularly grows more than 20 plants outside then buying feminised seeds to reduce your male rouging time is a waste of effort. Sure, you might have less males to deal with, but you're also much, much more likely to have female dominant hermies too, which are hard to detect and treat in such situations. It's easier to remove males from a more stable genetic line.

 

IMHO.

the only person who's saying that is you.

yeah yeah, no shit.

He's being sarcastic pipeman, a little research on your part and you would understand what he is saying, you obviously haven't even read back through the posts here on the subject.

 

Any more posts like your previous one will see this topic closed or removed.

hey there all

 

femanised seeds have some good and some bad in them as far as i can see as i agree i dont think there could be a completly fem seed there would always be through backs

 

and as a breeder the need for male plants of good genetics is high on my list so i will never go to the extra expence of buying fem seeds as i feel the need for male plants

 

and anyone that breeds or is thinkin of doing any X's out there knows the need for a good male is huge

Leave my thread alone.....................I think MEMBER number 19 should respect MEMBER number 6 //////////////////////////////////////I have bred female seeds for 20years and never had a male yet(but you learn something every day)))

[Stoney]

i beg to differ i think member number 883 should respect member 19

Tom you quoted me as "pippy" in a previous post so don't try and take the high ground ya hypocrite.

 

Do whatever you want I couldn't care less. Closing threads seems to be your new thing so go for it what difference does it make anyway.
