Not necessarily true. Do some more research.

I am waiting on a response from WoS on the matter. Will post what they say, but as far as I am concerned I am done with this thread after this post.
"organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. These techniques, generally known as recombinant DNA technology, use DNA molecules from different sources, which are combined into one molecule to create a new set of genes." This is genetic modification, and the process they use to create GMO.
Sure you may consider colloidal, STS, GA3 a modification, and maybe in a sense, sure. I will go with that. but these methods are temporary "modifications."
Until i receive a response, I will take this plant description with a grain of salt. I got a bit upset at the mention of GMO.

"Sorry, we actualise the description of the strain. This description is wrong. We don't modifie our strains, only the modification y¡that we can do with the selection and cross. Here the worst:
Through a rigorous programme of selection and improvement using some truly explosive male and female Afghan Kush specimens, our breeders have managed to tweak this, our quintessentially pure Indica strain. She continues to retain her 100% Indica qualities, including that trademark taste and aroma, but produces more resin and an even more Indica stone, as if this were possible.
Thanks for the observation,
Keep in touch!"
So as far as the review on the seed where this thread had started. Seems I had come on a little strong, but I believe I had every right. Having GMO in your description is never something you should see in the marijuana world. Even after the clarification though. I already threw out this seed, and I wont be selecting this plant growing anytime in the future.
Just to clarify here. I was never bashing WoS as a whole. I did not agree with the plant description as it was worded. I am using WoS in my breeding project, and have no issues with some of their genetics.
As far as the rest of the article goes. Concerning fems, genetic modification, etc. I have indeed done my research, and apparently the few who disagree have done none. Coming from a well known breeder, who has been in the business for 30 year (I am not referring to myself) all the chemicals used to create fem seeds are mutagens. They Mutate the plant, not modify. You can do your own research and verify.
