Whew :)

My last order should be here tomorrow.

I've just been torn
trying to figure out what to pop cause im at that halfway mark in my rooms .:wall:

Cookies & Chem, Tomahawk, Sundance Kid, Jelly Pie, Purple Badlands and Copper Chem are clear standouts from the Wild West series so far. Pick one (or more) of those and you can't lose!

Anyone know if this plant is Forum Cut or OGKB dominant? She's developing vegetative growth over flowers (flower sites are small), even as week 6 of flower draws to a close. Wonder if the NPK ratio is off for this girl?

Does environment affect male/female ratios?

I'm almost positive when the female plant is pollinated it either gets xx or xy chromosomes. There is no way to decide or change male to female ratio. Once it gets that chromosome. That's it. Now environment can change a female to male by herming. But not the other way around. Males can' go female bc of stress. You have to introduce a hormone or chemical.

Yes it does. Going to dig up my mmj growers handbook so I can cite the source and specifics, but it's affected by humidity and temperature. Seedlings that are highly stressed tend to be males, which might explain why the prettiest un-sexed plants tend to be males due to their vigor and hardiness.(Just a personal observation.). Also, I'm sure genetics play a role Regarding male / female ratio.

I also noticed that after adding more environment controls to my "Pre-Veg" area,such as heat pad controls with temperature probes, dedicated T-5 lights and automated temperature regulating fans, not only did I have a much higher success rate of seed germination, healthier and uniform growing plants, I noticed a higher ratio of females. Also, starting them healthy from day 1, I found far more keepers and saved time and money on care for my plants and seedlings.

Give me several hours and I'll dig up that book and post a screen shot with its details. I can personally confirm it's true from experience.

I'd like to see a scientific study showing you can change chromosomes in veg. That's horseshit. That's like saying you find your wife is having a boy and you wanted a girl so if you eat lots of N it'll change to a girl

Environmental factors do affect male-to-female ratios in all animals (and plants). Birth ratios will almost always hover around 50/50 given large population samples and sufficient time sampling. However, there is evidence that indicates that birth ratios can favor male or female offspring due to selective pressure, such as a lack of suitable mothers or fathers. Northern Europeans share a common gene that causes the male-to-female birth ratio to favor males (by as much as 50%, i.e. the ratio is 75/25 male-to-female). Clearly that would have been caused by wars or other pressures that thin the male population.

So your saying a dried seed in my pack right now is neither male or female. That's not true. You have to have that pair of chromosomes to paired to make the seed embryos. So I'm gonna have to call false. I' not saying you are wrong. But until I see actual evidence saying my needs are fukn Bruce Jenner until popped I call horse shit.

I agree with that during the actual pollination but not in the germing. When the calyxes is impregnated it is either impregnated eith xx or xy not both. And to change it would need both. And it can not have an extra set of chromosomes. Unless mutant. Just like humans. 46 pairs. Unless you have down syndrome or mutant. I know bad reference lol. But just making my point

Now you understand! Each grain of pollen contains either XY chromosome pairs or XX chromosome pairs, clearly determining the sex at the time of inception. However, due to genes and their ability to be switched on and off (often times more than once throughout the life of an organism) through environmental stress it is possible that a seed which contains XY chromosome pairs can express itself as female.

I mean if that was the case you could select female or male during germination there would be no use in making female seeds while on the plant and ruining bud with sts or silver. You could jus do it during germ and you cant.

I am alleging that it is possible. No one has a sufficient understanding of genetic manipulation or developed economic processes to do so. Just because someone hasn't figured it out now (or in the past), doesn't mean it isn't possible.

I'm not saying this is fact or true but, I was watching a live vid from mike at exotic, and he went on to say he runs low humidity and higher temps when searching for males for a higher m to f ratio. Don't jump down my throat here, I'm just saying dude knows some stuff.
