“Sterile” females? Talking parthenocarpy with one of the G.O.A.T.s. Get your notepad ready and be ready to learn something. apomixis is asexual reproduction without fertilization. parthenocarpy is the development of a fruit without prior fertilization. There are two kinds of parthenocarpy, namely, obligate and facultative parthenocarpy. The difference is that the former always produces seedless fruits, whereas the latter results in seedless fruits only when pollination is prevented, like when males are removed.

to think the way I think of it is I've got this huge palette of colors to work from.
And it's the best palette of colors and I can draw on that to make any shade of anything. And
I don't feel limited to just pursuing two or three paths. I really like to keep the
keep the door wide open to what is required, what people want. And I think from a production point
of view, what people are going to want is going to be sterile versions of those plants. So
once you've got the plants you want, then you want to work on making sterile versions of them.
Because the sterile plants won't take seed. So if you want to grow a field with no seeds in it,
even if the neighbors have hemp all around, you need to have sterile plants. So that's going to be
the real one of the notable features of the current cannabis genetics renaissance. You're
seeing there's so many more people involved in cannabis genetics research now than ever was,
on a more professional level than there ever was. More academic level, let's say. You're going to
see a lot of advances from plants you don't need to trim, to plants that can't be seeded,
and plants that mites don't eat, plants that are very, very resistant to different fungal issues.
It's, I think we're going to see an enormous leap in cannabis genetics just in the next five years.
Like there's going to be more happening in cannabis genetics in the last five years than has ever
happened in cannabis genetics. You were talking sterile before, right?
The sterile plants that I'm referring to, that I've seen, and that I'm endeavoring to reliably
produce, right now I've only about 50% success rate, but I need them to be at 100. But those
plants have no pistils. They're female plants with no pistils. So you can smother them in pollen.
So they're barren, basically.
