I know, right? :eyesmoke: Would have to be bad a$$, yet refined. I'm sketching out the next group of honorees - not sure if Pete's Piece is gonna stick to the C Dolato.. Love the character - "Nobody touches Pete's piece !" - but smoking Pete's piece :shock: is starting to feel sketchy, at best.
blowin petes piece! how could you go wrong? lol

Male for sure! Do any of you guys remember one of the older breeders or maybe it was in a book idk, but somebody had a recipe for the environmental conditions to influence more females. I remember this from a long time ago and my memory of its really fuzzy and I seem to remember week 4 having the most influence. maybe? Anyone recollect this?

I have also read something about higher humidity levels during seedling stage and early veg will yield more females

I think it was in Ed Rosenthals book. Could be wrong, a buddy had it in the early 90’s. ‘‘Twas our only source of info back then.*edit Looking back I think we had Mel Franks book. Marijuana Growers Guide.

I think it was DJ Short. I believe he said shorter light hours, more blue light and lower temperatures induced more females. I have no idea if that's legit or not

I have a question, maybe it's impossible to know and maybe not!!

is every new seed both male and female, and once it gets older is "picks" or is ever seed either one or the other from the time it's made???

I call stoner myth on all that m/f ratios due to environment. Make enough seeds and the ratio will be close to 50/50 imo.
I do believe environment plays a big role in female to male ratios, from experience. The first strain I ever bought was Skunk #1 from DP and I made a ton of f2's or next generation from whatever they were on. Anyway I started fifty something seeds one yr and could ct the males on one hand. Never even got close to that later on. Also last yr I had some Swiss Cheese hybrid seeds I sprouted a little late, don't remember the total number but I filled two of the shallow storage totes up with dixie cups packed in like sardines and had same results, like 90 to 95 % females and started a bunch this last spring and had closer to 50:50. So I definitely believe there's something to it, just don't know what or how.

I dont doubt that at all. Although 50 seeds seems like a lot, in the grand scheme of things its a tiny sample size. I am talking thousands of seeds, like in nature. Because the plants sole purpose is to reproduce.

Would love to be wrong about it though, would be brilliant to be able to get fems when you want fems and males when you want males.
