Well put. Thank youThe way I look at feminized seeds, simply put they are hermaphrodites in disguise. Yes, you are more likely to produce females yet they still carry the herm gene.
The problem I have is when irresponsible breeding occurs using females from a feminized plant passing on the herm gene. Polluting genetic lineage. Same reason a True Indica or Sativa is hard to come by, these days everything is a hybrid which has Indica or Sativa tendencies. Unless you are lucky to explore finding your own land race strains around the world.
I was expecting a debate from someone about cannabis plants in the wild throwing Hermy's... The argument is a bunch of bullshit. if anyone is curious I will explain with DNA why cannabis reveals (low THC cannabis) Heirlooms are monoecious plant and the plants we smoke are dioecious. I might have used the wrong spelling, 2 ways to spell these words and they have different meanings, sorry
"Purest"
This lack of purity has ruined our food and cannabis crops causing new sickness and disease in humans that consume these GMO's. GMO, in-bred palnts and stripping crop water is causing Trans kids and sick ppl but boy oh boy it sure taste good.
You guys and your plants should refrain from having unprotected sex with transsexuals, many unsafe aspects to this practices.
Hermy's in the wild,,, mother nature breeds em out...... wonder why she does that>?.... Growers dont.
I couldn't have said it better myself!
Something tells me you grow feminized strains?
From what I understand feminized seeds are no more likely to herm than reg seeds. It's more to do w the genetics of the parent plant/plants. Years ago I ran a bunch of different DNA fem strains and not a single issue with seeds. However there was the odd mutant that I culled early. Then I ran some Cali connection fems and dam near everyone hermed. So I went back to reg seeds and still get the odd herm even from reputable breeders so idk. I got some fem seed junky beans I just popped and 4 of 12 won't open their cotelydons ,just staying closed up. Never seen that with reggie seeds

Yea buddy its called pheno huntin............ Find that fire pheno and make a mother.so really, if I what to be a "purest": I should get some normal seeds, pop a few of them, and keep the female as a mother...

Well lets define Genetic Modification Organism - This usually means modified by man made chemicals.
MeGI and DOI genes in cannabis are modified with man made chemicals to make Feminized seeds.
So not only did we manipulate the DNA, WITH MAN MADE CHEMICALs we manipulated the chromosomes with man made chemical... If I spray you with estrogen until you grow lactating tits I have GM your SRY gene. Man made hermies with chemicals are GMO'd by shear definition, in fact I cant think of better example,,,, roundup we just add some resistance to a gene. Hermy's,, thats a wacked gene missing some chromes homies. When god does it , its a mutant, when we do it its a GMO, both are manipulated gene con seds and should be avoided if you having unprotected sex or for consumption.
In the wild the MeGI gene is rarely switched by the DOI gene permanently in a cannabi strain. In other words God will breed out the hermy using a Natural punnett chart , this is why when we look at the DNA of cannabis heirlooms they are monoesious plant and hybrids are dioesious . That is the DNA documentation of the human intervention and DNA manipulation, GMO rite before our eyes.
this comment is ignorant or your just trying to yank my chain or your just miss leading readers for what purpose IDK.....You are just expanding your original comment here.
There is no genetic modification of the plant when making feminized seeds. It will make them anyway if left alone to ripen too long anyway.
It is already in its genetic code
Only the male chromosome is missing. No modification of genes here. Now harsh pesticides are a different thing. They are poisons.
Gene Mod of organisms has nothing to do with pesticides.That's the kicker ;) most think a gmo is a pesticide and that's it.

Id like to hold a conversation with you but you'll have to stop the blatant out rite mis-info. Gene modification happens naturally by God, random selection, We do GMO, forced specific and not random gene selection.
thk you for this comment, one of the most manly disagreements ON THIS SITE that Ive ever had. Most debates are with no merit, some comment with no fact, not even an opinion sometimes with just attacks.I used an incorrect term. But my intent was pretty obvious I thought.
I am saying reversal happens naturally anyway. And we know that stopping the production of ethylene will force male flowers. That is what happens at the end of their life cycle anyway. So we merely stop the plants ethylene production through various methods. Some safer than others admittedly.
But you are suggesting his process yields dangerous flowers the way a pesticide can alter the plant and harm us.
And you are also claiming land race plants are in a different classification than say hybrids.
And I am disagreeing and would like to see proof of these claims as I have learned otherwise through pretty extensive reading.
Clarification, No I'm not saying DANGEROUS. Im saying GMO is not HEALTHY. Dr's even with there green diets suggest supplements and most nutritionist agree that engineered crops have lost heirloom nutritional qualities. A disruption in minerals and vitamins.But you are suggesting his process yields dangerous flowers the way a pesticide can alter the plant and harm us.
And you are also claiming land race plants are in a different classification than say hybrids.
