Is this true , seeds sexing .

[illbethere]

Yes this is false according to this I should have male plants between my feminised seeds. If I do however get a surprise when I plant them I'll be glad to tell you but I highly doubt it!

 

[illbethere]

thing is in nature there's no need to be telling anyone if a seed is male/female. Just like all living things it goes -> no sign of sex because at this stage there is no such thing as sex (seeds) -> female (veg) -> incase male, sex will change from female to male (flower)

Just like a foetus is first sexless -> female -> male

I said ealier it doesn't work with fem seed you can't compare. All babies are females first actually. I've had 3 kids, doctors say if you get told your having a girl there is a chance the fetus can turn into a boy but its never the other way around once your a boy you can't change into a female. Where all girls when we are conceived bro.

Edit:Wait I'm a little stoned you put sexless then female, male

I think what it really does is help you pick the seeds that have a higher % of being female, maybe strong female genes show thru to the seeds. Idk I'm not a scientist but I can tell you there is a reason someone put this together and we can't completely dismiss the claim unless there had been a in depth test. I feel there is some thruth to this but what I really want to know is what % of time does it work. Cause it say 100% but that can't be true if people are saying it didn't work for them.

No problem what I mean with first sexless is that sperm carries a gene to determine if it's male/female but the sperm doesn't have a sex. otherwise you would be able to tell which sperm would become a boy or girl by the looks of it under a microscope.

I didn't mention sperm so I get the confusion even without being stoned.

I agree what I started thinking about this is that it might be more of a thing about where on the bud the seed develops. A seed that develops more on the outside might have more of a crater because it get's pushed out more then those who are more cramped between other seeds/buds and because they get pushed out they don't fill in the crater but get kinda pulled of the plant that is making them develop thus creating that crater like depression.

(like pulling off a branch of your plant if you pull it off it leaves a crater because it wasn't 100% ready to go instead of naturally falling off which would leave you with less of a crater and more of a smooth part where you pulled it off, I can't find the right words in english so it might all sound a bit weird the way I'm trying to explain what I'm thinking.)

I get whay you saying bro.:Sharing One: I want to do a big test this summer because I'll be working with a lot of regs.

 

[Mr Piggy]

You may be right piggy you are a person always with good info,
Can explain how I was able to pick 3 females out of 100 reg seeds using this method was I really just that lucky? I didnt pick 5-10 seeds then select females I picked 3 all three sprouted and all 3 were female. I think it be better to say it needs further testing then outright it doesn't work.

That's just the luck of the draw. If you want to run a real experiment you need to run numbers in the hundreds, sprout every one of those hundreds, record your data, and run a control against those selected.

When I first started growing someone told me that bigger seeds out of a same strain batch would be the females, so I sprouted four big ones and they were all female. I thought that's how it worked until I did that a few more times, and got mostly males and one female.... several times. There's only one way to know what the sex of a plant is going to be and that is to grow it out and sex it. Well, there is a local lab that you can cut off a cotyledon and send it to, they will run a DNA test on it to tell you if your seedling is male or female, but for all the effort and cost I'd just wait two-three weeks to see.

As with all things sciency, run large numbers, record your data, publish it and submit it to peer review, and if you're right I will gladly admit to being wrong and tell other people about it.

But the large numbers (hundreds, if not thousands) and a control are key.

This is actually sounding like that sex panther body spray only working 60% of the time. Even with feminized seeds you still get the malnourished and deformed seed in overcrowding or deficiency. Id test this myself if I had any regulars but i think that environmental factors can play a big part on sexing as like you said we were females first and sometimes low nutrional soils can stress a plant into going male because theres not enough energy or the right elements to make viable offspring. That may be why the deformed seeds without properly shaped craters and such can be male not forming correctly or something missing in genetic makeup from a nitrogen deficiency or something.

P

I would say bull ish, But I guess It's time for a test next week I'm gonna drop12 beans half and half......

Ease let me know how that goes!!! Been wondering myself
