I am surprised that people still cling to terrible opinions that were spread by crappy growers so many years ago.
Here is what happened:
Feminized seeds start to be sold. If purchased from reputable breeders they produce 100% female plants.
Some crappy growers get their hands on some feminized seeds. They grow it out and stress it with a shitty environment. The plants produce male flowers as a result of all the stress. The crappy growers bitch about how feminized seeds produce "hermies." Crappy growers want to blame anyone but themselves.
These crappy growers are very vocal and people that do not think for them selves read the opinions of the crappy growers and parrot them. It is weird.
People that complained about getting males did not get real feminized seeds.
If feminized seeds were so terrible, why are hundreds of thousands, if not millions of feminized seeds sold each year?
You would rthink there would be a lot more anecdotal evidence that feminized seeds are no good.
The problem with breeding hermis is that the hermi genetic is passed down the line... forever and ever.... so that subsequent plantings, and then clonings, culd pop out a hermaphrodite.
That is really the only real bad issue with hermis...[/quote]
No.
You are wrong.
You are confusing the two different types of hermaphrodites.
Stress is not passed down to offspring. You really should not post stuff like this. It has been common knowledge for years that feminized seeds are no more likely to "herm" than their parents.
No, it does not stress it.
It's low stress.
Stress is stress. The stress caused by colloidal silver makes the hormones produce male flowers. If you do not believe that, I do not know what to tell you.
I use colloidal silver.
That's why females from seeds that have been made from colloidal silver don't herm from stress (as easily).
You have no idea what you are talking about.
Stress is not passed on through dna. You are not going to convince me otherwise.
Whereas, females from seeds that are created from stress have a tendency to herm out under stress.
No. you are wrong. You are repeating terrible opinions from 5+ years ago. Stop it.
If colloidal silver "was the same thing as stress", why would professional breeders even bother with it?
You do not understand what you are talking about. Colloidal silver creates stress to turn plants. deal with it.
Why wouldn't they just use stress to induce their hermies?
They do. deal with it.
I'm pretty sure silver costs money.
Hey, you got something right. Congratulations.
Maybe not where you live, trousers?
Colloidal silver is incredibly cheap to produce. You need .999 silver. An ounce will produce hundreds if not thousands 0f gallons of colloidal silver. It is cheap, but I prefer to purchase mine for $20 an ounce. One fem seeds can run $15, so $20 for a bottle that could produce hundreds of thousands of seeds is not expensive.
