im just goin by my comparessions !! and sadly we dont have regular lemon haze to compear so thats a none starter !
from my findings fems dont show the same veriation !!
to me you have better chance of finding unique qualitys in regular !!

i dont know could be that the selection process is more geared to finding females that are good for feminizing instead of strengh flavour ect ect
but im just goin by my own findings
blueberry was a good example i had 20 regs and 10 fems !!
the fems were all sativa leaning 2 basic phenos !!
the regs i got stout ones tall ones ones with no flavour ones with massive flavour !

Yea, I was just curious if there was anything scientific behind that. I would think since your are combining to separate plants that you still have all the outcomes possible. You are just replacing the male chromosome. I dont know shit about genetics but if there were a lower variation I would think that there would be a scientific explanation.

sure someone will have a scientific answer !! but to me it seems logical that the male is goin to be better at produceing genes ect ect in its pollen becouse thats what its soul porpose is to do , what its designed for !
were a female been forced to hermie is doin it as a servival mecinisum !! a last throw of the dice if you will !
suppose not enough real research is been done ! people are just knockin out fems and cashin in !!

What have you got against periods. Are you hempy sneaking back in? Just kidding. I dont know man, what seems logical is sometimes not but i see your point.

The process the "fem" seeds go thru is transient it has no lasting effect!!... YOU do NOT want variation from "fem" seeds they have a target market... in good situations a female or females are selected on breeding criteria and used.. you want plants that do not segregate... and are "true" breeding for certain traits...
@Bobman maybe the selected super lemon haze was a bad choice and not really a candidate for breeding, maybe they just found a stand out individual and just hit it regardless... sounds like they just found it and selfed it... and it segregated!... (Edit: or they crossed it to an XX but again the chosen plant wasn't very "true" breeding.)
YOU DON'T force a female to hermie!!! YOU DON'T use intersex plants.. you select the resistant ones!!! and males can also reverse!!!sure someone will have a scientific answer !! but to me it seems logical that the male is goin to be better at produceing genes ect ect in its pollen becouse thats what its soul porpose is to do , what its designed for !
were a female been forced to hermie is doin it as a servival mecinisum !! a last throw of the dice if you will !
Whatever is on the Y can only be passed to the son.. as it must be sex linked just to occur to the Y everything else must be autosomal! so Y would it matter?

dont be ignorant fem seeds are produced by sprayin a female plant with metal based chemicals to make it hermie !!
no matter how you dress it up !
and like i said maybe its the slection process , witch is geared to been stable rather than special !!
lets face it if everyone selecected for stability we wouldnt have some of the best strains in the world now !!
like blueberry witch is highly unstable

I'm the ignorant one? it doesn't hermie you fool.. its a transient effect... ie its not in a perm state.. its clear its you and others that don't understand the processes! but still thanks for being rude.
Blueberry is more than likely unstable because it was bred with too many 1:1 matings.. and the fact that it contains many mutant genes that cannot be fixed!!

its a female that is made to produce pollen, a male trait ???? its the definition of hermie to me lol
you can spin it anyway you want but i call a spade a spade its made to hermie !
so your arguement is males a useless and do nothing ? well why do they exsist ? why wouldnt nature just do away with them and just have females hermys ?
so your right natures wrong lol
well your name is very fitting

Where have I said a male is useless? I havn't the simple fact is you are sprouting off on things you clearly have no clue about!.
And nature does do away with them in a cycle... I suggest you look up how dioecious plants with a XY system have evolved.
you keep saying female hermies, YOU DO NOT USE INTERSEX PLANTS can I make it any clearer!, I see you like chimeras gear, you do know he uses gynoecious lines don't you? C4 I think is going to be released as such a line...
how do you feel about that? has your world caved in yet!!

your just splittin hairs wrong wrong !! like i said your sprayin a happy female with chemical so it gos into stress induced hermi !!
you can use any terminology you want but facts are facts !!
i could call it male transforming technology !!
but its still just sprayin a plant with codial silver lol
and yeah i like chimeras seeds but i like lots of others seeds to femmed and regular !! makes no differnce to me what he does , i just like his strains and his prices ! if he was chargeing rez money or sensi money i wouldnt give his stuff the time of day lol
now you can read any piece of info you like but there no subsitute for factual practical experiments !!
you do the same, grow out 10 femmed and 20 regs of the same strain from same breeder and report your findings back !
see you seem like one of these people who THINKS they know, but in reality they have read a few threads , and grown a few femed seeds in a grow tent under led lights lol
your a 50 post nobody !

A) no where have I said anything that I have read or otherwise, you have assumed. (where have I said what I have based anything on? Where have I stated the numbers
I have gone thru? on I havn't )
B) No where have I said a male is useless. as I stated in a previous post.
Female seeds and regular seeds BOTH have a palce which again I stated earlier..
you stated
which is utter bullshit. now if you find bullshit in my posts by all means counter it. But try to do it so its not condescending or based on assumption.
anyway enough back and forth with no substance from you. theres no debate to be had the fact is theres nothing wrong with selfing, producing an all female line or regular seeds.. just shisters that exploit all routes...

after vegging for like 8 weeks, then flowering for another 2, only to find out 2 out of 3 are MALES...that's when you stop using standard beans. Most people use clones though. I don't. So I need to be sure what I'm growing will give me medicine. It's my first time getting feminized seed but I think I'm looking at white rhino...I need a good indica with strong production and hybrid vigour. I'll probably get a 5 pack. I think feminized 5 packs are really the way to go.

biggest piece of bullshit iv ever herd ! pathetic infact !
im stateing my own findings !
your stateing crap you have read somewere !!
end of tit for tat we shall agree to dissagree ! .............. ill be the grown up lol
