Tell us how you're doing it, see if anyone else can replicate your success. ;)
Okay sounds good ... hope no one gets mad at meBUT actually if it helps others as it did me too access meds and not waste space while waiting for ur girls to come☺Tell us how you're doing it, see if anyone else can replicate your success. ;)
Right on ! When I first seen info I was VERY VERY skeptical. Wasting a month for males . But I've got like 98 % or so success rate not much more . One grow where I did random our of 12 I kept 4. Pretty good if u ask me . Of course, IMO. ☺yeah I am testing that exact method right now. I picked 4 of the most round circled ones and so far 2 are female, one hasn't shown, and 1 male
also observing feminized seeds, all mine look even more perfect of a circle. but I do have 2 feminized autoflower seeds that look distorted as hell. this method might not work on ruderalis hybrids
Could man .. I'm learning most my answers from here (THC FARMER)☺Tried this with Purple pain killers n got 4/4 males lol. I think seeds are born male or female. didnt try the Glr but the low N and temps.
Yes and I like my males to be males and no masculine females.how else would I choose breeders???...

That was a good read , will be Tryin to learn and this is cool stuff to get to understand. PpP peaceThe seed shape as well as the indentation is heavily determined by the location in the flower clusters and other circumstances that do not change the genetics of the plant in the seed. I have plants that produce zero round seeds and yet plenty of females. Preflower seeds in my case always produce round craters and tend to have light bulb shape, like the pointy light bulb, and produce both males and females.
While genetics influences the seeds, it's the genetics of the parents (grandparents of the seeds) that determine the seed shape, not the future plant 'in' the seed (which has no influence on what it's mom does).
Will be harvesting some seeds from 'the swan' (an f2 plant from my P cross) for the third time and the seeds look different, again. The latest are huge, sunflower shaped. One sibling cross, one back cross, one out cross. First on hydro, second in soil with mineral, third organic.

According to some doc about the cannabis genome the sexual expression is determined by ratio of X allosomes to autosomes (common for many plants, opposed to Y determinate). In other words, how many X chromosomes it has compared to the non sex chromosomes. In other words XX is female because it has 2 X chromosomes (2 X's creating enough of the proteins and hormones that make it female). Male is not male because genes on the Y chromosome but because it has only 1 X chromosome.
Now, if you have a seed with XX and it turns out to grow with staminate flowers ("male" is a misnomer) it means the female expression normally caused by X's are suppressed. Which means one or both X are 'weak', influencable.
Instead of using the environmental influence to get more males it would (for breeding or finding a keeper to clone) be wiser to do the same thing to find a female that despite the attempts to get more males still expresses as 100% pistilate plant (what we call female).
But again, this is hard to measure without testing a LOT of plants. If you get 10 males out of a 10-pack it's possibly just bad luck. I.e. with 50-50 chance on a batch of 10 it's statistically not unlikely to get 10 the same. Try flipping a coin 10 times and do that 10 times.
If the pollen is from a female. Female x Female = Female (because both parents only have X to share not an Y, they can only produce XX). Preferably not pollen from a female that produces male flowers under normal circumstances. Look up "Tiresias Mist Directions" on youtube for a simple example video.Will the seeds I get from a female plant be female?
I think medman refers to males as in complete males from the very first pre-flower. There are multiple types of bisexual inflorescences. My point is that if increasing nitrogen = more males then that doesn't necessarily make the hermies with late flower nanners, and the others types in between, show themselves.So, if I've got a "sexed" garden (all showed female pre-flowers);
I can increase nitrogen to expose staminate producing females--
and cull those plants that have hermaphroditic tendencies???...
