One of the very few DNA Genetics strains still available in non-feminized form: Kandy Skunk (OG Kush x Trainwreck x Heirloom Skunk). .
I was wandering thru this thread when what you said got my attention. I have a question: Do the non-feminized, regular seed, if it turns out to be a female have better THC potential than the feminized versions?
Just curious...nice pics.
interesting question to my knowledge the regular seeds would not have any more THC content persay but more genetic variability which could translate to more THC potential because of the many different phenos you could un-earth if you start digging into the genetics. When you feminize a plant or S1 a plant it is a self pollination so both sets of chromosomes come from the same plant lowering your genetic variablity. This can be good and bad depending on how you look at it. Good by lowering the work required to find the pheno the breeder selected and bad if you want to find a rare pheno in say an F2 generation that may have higher THC levels than the breeder lists on the info sheet.
So to some it up if you compare the same pheno's one feminized and one normal the THC levels will probably be very similar. Yet if you wanted to dig into a strains genetic make up, in the F2 generation of seeds you could probably find a super high THC level pheno of that strain. The F2 generation is crucial because it has the most genetic variation
