plant sex testing

wondering if anyone used a company to test the plant to see male or female. friend got me some blueberry breath and kind of wanting to find out if its male or female and not waste time growing it and soil.

Get fem seeds or else. Its very simple to grow and pic females. Kinda lame question u must not have growing exp or skills?

If you don't grow you will never know!!

I don't think there are any that test seeds, but I have heard of one that will take a small clip of leaf and email the results to you in a few days. It'll save you a lot of time and soil still. But needs to be at least sprouted. Faster than waiting on preflowers and you can use a solo cups worth of soil. Leafworks is one example

im still a newb not gonna lie. i have done reg before and i picked some out but honestly dont want to waste time and effort. i usually stick with fems or auto but friend was getting out and he gave me some to try cause i didnt have any seeds at the time. but i ended up waiting and ordered some but decided to put 2 blueberry breath f1 but upon researching it said it was a regular not fem they are few weeks old so already have leaves. think i found a page

There are a handful of companies that will gender test a clipped piece of a leaf. You'll need to pop the seeds and wait for the plants to get big enough true leaves so you don't affect growth by snipping part of a leaf for a sample. When I've done it, I usually wait until the seedling is about 2 weeks above soil (for photo plants). They're not inexpensive though. They generally range between $10-$15 per test, unless you can catch them on sale.

These companies exist for people who live in areas where people can only legally grow a few plants at once for medical purposes--and need a continuous supply of their meds without worrying about whether the cops will kick down their door and find that they're 2 plants over their legal count. Knowing which plants are female could save weeks worth of time & resources and don't restrict people to growing only stuff that's been made into a fem seed. Sure there are ways of manipulating plants into showing gender sooner if you have the time & space to do that.

ya its 3 weeks in already

Why waste money ? …. Just grow them out ….

Wirse could happen - a male … then you can save some pollen and chuck a female.
No worries.

I have used them a couple times with some not so great results. A LOT of inconclusive results and a few that were conclusive but wrong. Their cust service is pretty great but the actual tests are not IMHO.

I have a bunch more prepaid tests and will probably use them for my outdoor this summer and see how it goes but so far I’m not a fan.

one annoying thing they keep telling me I’m not collecting my staples correctly, not enough plant juice on test paper. I can tell you they looked like they had more juice than their sample pics.

I agree. But cannabis growers like to spend money.

Some folks have plant count and grow space restrictions.

Just take a cut and place it under 12/12. Check on the water level after a few days to top it off. No need to change the water. You’ll only be refilling the container/cup. Never mind environment conditions for this method. I’ve done it in 68-73F with as little as 33% RH in the room/no more than 45-50% humidity. You should see roots within 10 days & gender maturity depends on the strain I guess? Not 100% sure on that.. but I sexed out a pineapple gelato in 14 days from the day I made the cut.

My dad and i use FarmerFreeman. Results within about a week.

If you do wanna go that rout then I gotta vote Farmer Freeman. I haven’t seen anyone use them that wasn’t happy. They cost $10 per test.
