Seed Production. A Tutorial

giberellic acid(ga3) should be easy to find online or you can use silver in various solutions and forms i made my own and was able to reverse og kush in that way. rhodelization simply means letting a plant go a few weeks past harvest date often times most strains will produce pollen to make a few seeds as a survival method not all strains will do it but i have used this method on a pre 98 bubba kush and it worked well.

fdd2blk if you leave a male plant with a female plant or keep putting more pollen on a pollenated female does she then make more seeds then she would of if you would only pollenate her once?

If you impregnate a woman and keep having sex with her, will she make any more babies than if you only impregnate her once? ;)

no but with marijuana throughout the flowering period a female marijuana plant will keep putting out white hairs and it says when pollen gets on a white hair it turns brown and im thinking leaving a male or taking it out means the difference between kind of seeded bud or fully seed bud that is basically no bud and all seed ?

If you're wanting an entire female to produce seed, then it'd be quite productive to leave the male with her for the duration. Is that your intention, or pollenating only portions of her?

Yeah its just a little clone im going to leave the male to let it get completely full of seeds

are there any tendancies for seeds to be more like theyr mother or father , is it like human beings where you could end up like your mon ,dad or none of them,, my friend is redhead and his parents have black hair, does this apply to cannabis?

Right, B2KS.... dominant and recessive genetics. :)

Plantsinpants (love your username! lol), think of it this way. Two humans have six kids together. Do they look and act the same, have the same illnesses, strengths (physically, mentally, intellectually), etc.? Even identical twins aren't as "identical" as we once thought.

Some genetics are dominant and have a much higher chance of being passed down to offspring, whereas others are recessive and are most often "mutations" rather than the norm. We like and want some mutations, and try to avoid others. (The theory of evolution, anyone? lol) This will be the same in plants as it is in animals. Hence picking out which plants we want to be the parents when creating seeds, so that there's a better chance of getting replicas of the genetics we prefer. However, largely because of dominant vs. recessive, there's no guarantee that the plant's genetics we like will be replicated in their seeds, unless we know for a fact which genes are dominant and which are recessive beforehand, using that to our advantage.

Two blue/green-eyed people can not have brown-eyed children, as the blue gene (which also dictates green eyes) is recessive and therefore one who has blue/green eyes carries only the blue gene. Whereas if one parent has blue eyes and the other has brown (or if both parents have brown eyes), they can have blue or green-eyed children, if the brown-eyed parent(s) carries and passes the blue gene down to the children.

Same with cystic fybrosis: if only one parent passes down those genes, the child will carry, but not have, CF. A person can develop CF only if both parents carry and pass down the genes.

The dominant gene "wins" every time. The recessive gene shows itself (i.e., blue/green eyes or cystic fybrosis) only when it's passed down to the child from both parents, from the particular "seeds" or chromosomes from those parents passed down that particular time.

And so on. :D

Just one example of several scenarios:

Both Mom and Dad have brown eyes, but carry the blue gene.
Each parent has a 50% chance of passing down either gene.
Depending on who passed down which gene, it'll end up as follows:
Mom blue + Dad brown = brown-eyed child.
Mom brown + Dad blue = brown-eyed child.
Mom brown + Dad brown = brown-eyed child.
Mom blue + Dad blue = blue-eyed child.
-------------------------------------------
25% chance the child will have blue eyes.

So say a particular trait you really like is visible in both a male and a female plant, and it turns out to have been a recessive gene. Well, since both plants have the trait, then they will both be able to pass down only that gene, and all of their future offspring will also have that trait. But if only one of the two plants passes the recessive gene down to a seed, then it's unknown whether the offspring will also have that trait.... just like blue/green eyes. And each seed has an equal chance of receiving that gene.... just like blue/green eyes. If a trait is caused by a dominant gene, then it'll "win" over the recessive gene unless both the parents have the recessive trait as that is then the only gene they can carry.... just like blue/green eyes.

OK, all of this made sense to me, but I'm horribly fatigued today and so I hope this make sense to others! :lol:

damn that's one hell of a read Kat! especially for a simple dude like me, haha...what are you, a fucking scientist?? :lol:
this is all very interesting to me, as i'm making my own diesel ryder seeds right now, should be done in less than a month...should produce 1 to 2 hundred...

i copied this photo off google, it looks exactly like the 1 male flower i found on the top bud of a female i was having problems with,, fortunately i had this plant isolated from my other plants,, i clipped off that piece of male flower and put it in a jar,

is there still pollen inside this thing or is it too late to save any?? and will this plant grow more of them ??
