Ok,the link didn't work,bugger,so that mean's i got;s to type. :angry:

Here goe's!

 

When selecting female seed's,use only seed's that have a PERFECTLY round volcano-like depression at the bottom,where the seed was attached to the plant.

 

Anything short of this should not be used.They may be male's or hermie's.

 

Be VERY selective.It is typical to have ONLY 1 in 10 seed's meet this standard.The size or colouring has NO bearing on the seed's.

 

This method is 100% accurate.(apparently?)

 

*Have not tried it for myself as yet,but did do some looking with my loupe and what was stated seemed to be pretty accurate.*

 

Male & hermie seed's are filled in,ragged or not uniform,sometime's protruding up.

Male seed's are generally lop-sided,like an American Footie.

Male seed's will "thump-thump" like a flat tyre when rolled across a table.

Female seed's are nearly round and role easily.

A magnifying glass or loupe and pair of tweezer's is very helpful when handling seed's to determine sex.

 

Hope this help's some of ya's out.

 

Peace.

I have just put some Nirvana ice into Rockwool cubes, I figured by reading up about this, that I will get 3 males and 4 females maybe 5. Will be interesting to see if its right for me??
