I'm not arguing here - I'm passing on truths
1: I did! So all the misinformed can find some comfort and not stress so much!
2: I work for ME! I run several business. 43+ years of this. Started N. Of Frisco on a commune - never looked back. In my opinion the best modern breeders are a good deal of the underground or boutique breeders....There are a few "above" the surface boy's I like too.....
3: There are (like I said) two opinions on passing bisexuality down from the use of any method of "reversing" a Female to produce "FEM TRAIT" seeds! No matter what method you use (I do not use CS or any form of AgNO3 - better results with my choice. If you want that, you have to buy it somewhere else)
A: I say trait because you do NOT produce 100% female seeds by any reversal!
B: It's is the quality of breeding stock and the breeding practice that pass's down ANY bisexual trait! (Cannabis leans bisexual NATURALLY)
Now then...Let me take the time to post this from another source. He says it just fine and I don't have to type my ass off. Thanks to Matt.
If you use a plant that is a from a phenotypically unstable line, you will end up with males in the line. And there are SO FEW TRUE IBL Lines (meaning 100% uniformity between phenotypes from each seed) so you should expect to see a small population of males depending on this variable. Educate yourself and your customers on the science behind reversals. Reversing plants does NOT cause more hermaphroditism or a potency drop. In fact, it's a great way to bring vigor back to a clone only line that is tired from being passed from cut to cut. The solution actually causes the gibberelin hormone to be produced in the plant (many factors cause the plant to naturally produce gibberelin, one of which is stress, however that does not mean that having the plant produce this hormone is causing it stress - one doesnt necessitate the other to be true). Gibberelins are naturally produced by the plants in nature when the plant senses a male is needed in the population to continue its line (we all know plants are living beings, however many don't understand the true nature of their intelligence and ability to assess their surroundings.) The introduction of the "XXXX" SEX REVERSAL SPRAY also causes ethylene production to halt which causes pistillate formation and female characteristics. Reversing the Sex of the plants is TEMPORARY AND DOES NOT ALTER THE DNA OF THE PLANT. If anyone tells you that, they do not understand cannabis, science, or really haven't done any experiments first hand. They're bullshitting about a method they are too simple to understand or to perform. As you will see this is not a quick and easy solution. It takes timing and practice to accomplish a successful reversal and pollination. We've made the reversal part as easy as it can be - in fact, it's downright idiot proof if you follow the instructions. Again, educate yourselves, your customers and the nay-sayers when it comes to reversals. Stop using the word feminized, because it's innaccurate and smash people with facts and science in the face of ignorance.
There you go......Now then. I want to ask you to tell me just HOW CS changes the DNA? It does NOT! Nor does this method or any for that matter! They produce conditions where hormones are released at differing rates to cause the plant to "protect" it's line and reproduce....AGAIN - CANNABIS LEANS BISEXUAL NATURALLY as a way to preserve it's self.
There you are folks. This is my side of the argument!
