Curing Seeds

maybe i should correct something... i did not mean that thats how you are supposed to do it i was saying its a good way to do it. i've done it myself and found that mimicking nature is a good way. and i did NOT mean freeze them either. once they are dry and hardened off the plant i found that storing in a dry place with cool (and dark) atmosphere increased my germ. rate. however planting bout a month after i'm sure would be fine. in fact if mr. ganga can get a 95% germ rate then how he goes about drying seeds obviously works great. we must learn from people who has had more success than us.

and yes hermies are more abundant in feminised seeds but it is how its done. it depends on the genes. like i said look it up!!

its not looking good today, not many more up. there is definately looks like there is a curing period.as fdd2blk has suggested could be a month.
normaly most other would have germed by now. not even 70% at this stage more like 30% but some are still working on it. two more days and i,ll have a definate. but it is looking like curing is a must.

seeds take from 4 to 6 weeks to mature from time dusted i normally go the max 6 weeks

once before i knew the time fram i choped a diesel ryder at its proper maturity not thinking i had dusted the girls nose and i was a two time looser the smoke was not all it could be it spent energy producing seeds the seeds were no good small and green and baige

since then i go six weeks no matter if i have to harvest a 8 to 9 week plant in 11 1/2 weeks like i had to do the last time cause i dusted late due to slow pistil development smoke is old gooed together weak but smokable

ask yourself what is most important

if doing autos do 2 one to dust one to smoke if doing a reg plant do a branch label it let it stay behind if you harvest rest of plant

good luck

I take the word of fdd. Trust me, he knows his stuff; look up some of his threads. If he says 4 weeks, then that is what you need to know.

that is NOT the way to make feminized seeds. i do not need to look it up. :)
then plz enlighten us then. how are they produced? i bet you can't come up with a logical answer. you do need to look it up. im reading an artical written bt Danny Danko himself right now that says the same thing i said. i can quote it for you if you want. plz tell me were they come from if im wrong. ya'll want to say im wrong but when i ask you to enlighten us on where they come from, nobody can answer me. so plz explain where fem. seeds come from.

nobody is backing up the original claim, why do we have to back up ours? who the hell is danny danko? :neutral:

if could someone tell me where hermy seeds come from then i will tell you were feminized seeds come from. and i do know. ;)

There are two ways to do this, one using colloidal silver the other is stressing a flowering female plants into a hermi causing it to form male reproductive organs also. The plant then self pollinates and you get s1.

Copy and paste from google. Learn to search, noobs.

i quit reading high times before most people here started growing. when people reference high times, or anything associated with, i can only laugh.


to get "true" feminized seeds you have to grow out a bunch of females and expose them to a lot of stress. you want to fuck with light cycles, feeding, heat, slap them around a little. expose them to light leaks while flowering, push them to 14 weeks. do whatever you possibly can do to try to make them produce male pods. when you find a female that WON'T produce male pods, no matter how much you stress it, then you have a working female. you now take this working female and spray a branch with colloidal silver. this will cause male pods to form which the pollen can be collected from, then you can use this "feminized" pollen to seed another plant to get your feminized seeds. any other pollen from a female is simply hermy pollen, it's not feminized. if you use hermy pollen you will get hermy seeds.

working with any hermy plants will simply give you hermy plants. you often don't even know your plants are hermy until halfway thru flower when the male pods start appearing. this is not good. you want to work with plants that will NOT hermy when stressed. otherwise you will simply end up breeding more hermies.



try researching with actual growers instead of sucking high times teat. ====> https://www.rollitup.org/do-yourself/78710-how-make-colloidal-silver-make.html


high times is for noobs.

first off someone is taking this way too personal. reporting my posts and shit. its a forum, people argue its just the nature of this type of thing. Nothing personal.... and all you did was repeat what research kitty just said. and what i said. stress out a female into growing male pods. FEMALE+MALE PODS=HERMIE. Thats my point... Now how you stress the female out can differ a lot.
And why would you diss High Times like that? A lot of people owe there start and first successful grow. they provide alot of factual and positive info to people. something rare in this day of these bullshit prohibition laws where we see a lot of lies in the media in order to pull the wool over American eyes "so to speak"and keep many people from learning the truth about the benefits of Marijuana in this country.

you did not properly read my post.

you stress a female to find one that will NOT hermy. them you use a CHEMICAL to cause it to produce male pods. if you look around this site you will see i have gone over this 1000 times already.


wtf are you talking about? high times is butt wipe material.

after testing several batches i have found a month to be the magic number. at 2 weeks i had about 70% germ, at 4 weeks + it goes up to 95+% germ rate.

i let all mine dry for at least a month, after they turn brown on the plant.

:)
what conditions did you dry them? cool dark place? sunny?
thanks for the help
