RE: Canna-Curate School Of Cannabis Cultivation: Popping The Seeds
What's pheno-hunting? Just growing from seed and "weeding out" unwanted phenotypes/ traits? I am currently on a grow with 4 plants, all seeds from commerically purcahsed rec cannabis bags, so we'll see how it turns out... so far so good! Interestingly, all th eplants were female, which seems odd seeing as though they were obviously produced by plants that "hermied." Then again, perhaps this supports the idea i'd heard that claims any seeds made by a female cannabis plant will, in turn, also be female. It's complicated lol
Every cannabis seed produced by intersex individual, which pollinated itself, will produce "feminised seeds"... but they'll be female only as long as they don't herm :)
Haha right?? It's kind of a paradoxical situation, it seems. It's like... well, was it the seed which was "predisposed" to herm, or was it an environmental factor which caused the mutation?
It's an interesting question, but if we consider that genetic information cannot express itself without the environment, it's kinda moot point :) But even if you assume that plant hermed (it depends how much though) due to stress, she already expressed tendencies to herm in certain conditions. And once this trait is imprinted, it'll be passed onto the prodigy, so your chance of getting herm plants in S1 goes up significantly!
