Seed business growth asking for help please

Berniemac · Mar 20, 2025

What’s up canna growers! Hope all is dank and great! Just got done with grow number 5 and after some experimenting and pollen collection I ended up creating my own seeds with some good genetics!
Currently working on making feminized pollen, and also going through more iterations to perfect the next great strain!
Any advice or anyone willing to help a friend and gift some blueprints.. knowledge, freebies, excel sheets for a genetic seed business.
I been using AI to help with some stuff , just thought I’d also ask my fellow grow community! Any and all advice and help is welcome, thank you!
Also will be looking to trade and sell seeds soon if anyone is interested.

No feminized genetics will make a "great strain". You arent creating anything more than an inferior polyhybrid of amalgamation weed. Feminized will never hit the numbers regular seeds will, no artificial creation of breeding hermaphroditism into a line will outperform regular seeds from mother nature. The good breeding practice is to breed any hermaphroditism out, not in. Hermaphroditism weakens.

Did you make seeds from regs or from females that hermed? If the latter, you already have feminized seeds.

Very interesting perspective, I have not looked into the science behind genetics and messing with hermaphroditism. From research online it doesn’t necessarily weaken potency or characteristics but could lead to instability over time. Although I am inducing chemically with colloidal silver, and not stress related, my thoughts are that the pollen will help me create more female seeds of this same strain, which I will then selectively breed and repeat the process to get more regular seeds. But we shall see…

Made seeds from regular seeds. Got a lot of pollen and I am not only trying that pollen on seeds I germinated but I am trying to make feminized pollen and try that out as well and see how it goes

You full of shit. Stop spreading misinformation.

It DOES weaken potency, chemical compound production, pest and pathogen resistance, and increases the likelihood of hermaphroditism spontaneously happening. Colloidal silver application to artificially induce pollen production is absolutely stress. You have no idea how good breeding is done. Your ideas on it are ignorant, lacking common sense. Your claims are baseless. There is no "we shall see" about it. Just because you don't know, doesn't mean everyone else doesn't know. You got a hard on dreaming bullshit and making assumptions and imagining shit, nothing more. You couldn't pass plant biology 101 pollen chucker.

You think you are going to make anything more than mediocre weed you are mistaken. It takes several hundreds of plants hundreds to find anything special, and I doubt you can identify a prized male. How are you going to compete with real cannabis breeders who have decades of experience, won several awards, and have a cannabis cup or 2 under their belt? You cant, not chucking pollen at a few plants at home. Nobody will even pay attention because there are so many exactly like you. So many. Same idea, same amount of intelligence.

No feminisation process DOES NOT necessarely weaken potency, chemical compound production, pest and pathogen resistance.

it just force a female plant sharing one of it's X chromosomes instead of either X or Y with a male ...

feminisation process does not alterate X chromosomes in any way ...

The 2 world class breeders I know will say the exact same things. They wouldn't risk damaging their reputation by breeding hermaphroditism into their genetics, using feminized seeds to breed further. Feminized is the end of the line. No point in breeding that at all unless you want to make junk. It's not for breeding, it's for the lazy grower that doesnt mind mediocre weed in trade for convenience in growing, or the dealer who could care less. They will buy whatever he hands then based on looks alone. You cant trust those seeds. The organism does what made it successful. Hermaphroditism will pop up and ruin a crop.

@RegularRebel I’d appreciate it if you left my post and just went and bothered someone else. I made the post to be actual information and help not get talked down on. You could have gone about it another way. And for the record i want you to remember my name because i will win a cannabis cup soon

I grow with feminized seeds. I don’t consider myself lazy in any aspect. The weed is decent. Pure bullshit

Dream on dreamer. There is way more to winning a cannabis cup than good weed, sadly. You will have to pay up to win it. Save up all your pennies. Make that closet glow. Make it glow.

False.

"Furthermore, a significant improvement of tCBD/tTHC ratio was observed (with a maximal tCBD content of 29.58% measured in a plant with a tTHC as low as 0.82%) after crossing only 23 selected parental plants. It shows that crossing plants selected based on their chemotype profile improves the genetic constitution of the breeding population and consequently enables the development of new varieties with improved cannabinoid profiles."

as you seem to like baked studies ...

Your quote. Since you’ve been here all I see is you pontificating that you know everything. You are a person who doesn’t read Chinese, but reads a book written in Chinese , and says he comprehends it. My two cents , fuck off

@RegularRebel I think you would do better in another online community. I'm not sure Thcfarmer is the place for you. You seem to run into this problem in every thread you join. Maybe try reddit instead.

In a week you went from incoherent chat GPT babble to straight up abusive language. I'm sorry everyone ignored your DIY calmag thread. I'm sorry I made fun of you for telling people to stick matches in their soil.

But like I said before, you have no credibility here, no diary, no pics. You're trying to fool a forum packed with experienced growers into thinking you know what your talking about when it's really obvious to everyone you don't.
