Thanks for posting the video. Got a chance to listen to it yesterday.
Dr. Soul says that a hermie is any plant that will switch gender under natural circumstances. And he says that his plants won't herm, even if stressed. Has anyone grown Brother's Grimm and vouch for their herm stability?
It was interesting to hear how he scientifically explained how it would be impossible by the laws of nature to have males come from fem seeds. Makes sense. A male would have to supply the Y chromosome, otherwise its a girl. Also appreciated how he explained the genetic influence of parents with the colored balls analogy.
I have grown about 30 BG C99 reg seeds and none were hermies, about 60% female and no nanners or hermies, I did let 1 female go way long to try to get some seed thru rodelization and got 30 some seeds that were all fems , Just my experience with BG , I was happy with the C99 but it was a long time ago during His first run before going underground .
I have worked in agriculture for over 50yrs and crack up with the number of pot head experts on getting high, making claims about hermies and STS. People get self-interest mixed up with giving a shit about the truth. Sometimes it's the only way, others its greed. Keep in mind that todays suppliers are mostly growing seeds for smoking, not many supply for breeding.
Bag Seed did not come from miraculous conception, pretty simple stuff.
Yes, it’s natural for some strains, and represents with stress.
Yes, you can breed plants with no hermies by not using the material in the first place.
Good practice in any other industry, not driven by stoned potheads.
I do not have a view of good or bad, just observation.
Result with standard seeds might not be as strong, but thats breeding without “Miraculous Conception”
For those at the crossroads: In the same way traits can be breed in, they may also be breed out.
