Woah. Let’s see how resilient they really are!
I’ll post another pic I’ll be home shortly see if they survived the day so far
Plenty of new growth on the left one. Amazing.
Living soil, ladies and gentlemen.
What strains are these again?
There alive in a Dr Frankenstein voice !
Left female is slurricane by inhouse genetics and right male is lemon hashplant by bodhi
Power couple.
I’m just wondering what if this male turns hermaphrodite can you still breed with it or will it have a bunch of wrong turn hills have eyes type of kids
I haven’t bred yet but intend to, I guess if it herms, the seeds you get will be more likely to herm as well?
Only one way to find out
I think I’ll let mine do whatever the fuck they want, I don’t need ultra potent bud or monster yields, just something to help me relax and sleep. I’ll decarb and eat the males too, it’s all healthy goodness.
I don’t think I have heard of a male plant, producing female buds from stress.
If it did and self pollinated I wonder if they would be all female like with feminized/selfed plants, or all male.
Ha that’d be funny they all turned out male
Males can throw pistils under stress or if they are genetically predisposed to it. Some will argue that this is a hermi and will beget more hermies. Others, DJ Short for example, will say it is desirable because it leans more female.
As for your question about the sex of the seeds. Females have two X chromosomes (XX) while males have an X and a Y chromosome (XY). Obviously when we cross females, all they can give is an X chromosome so all the offspring will be female (XX). But if a male pollinated itself, it would be 25% female (XX), 50% male (XY), and 25% other (YY). I have no idea what a YY plant would be considered as far as gender, I’ll leave that for someone else to research.
Defiantly would NOT want to keep those seeds.
Excuse me Jones to reply in your journal.
I couldn’t find some especifically research for cannabis, but i found a good text about sex chromossomes in plants. “Plant sex determination and sex chromosomes” by D. Charlesworth (https://www.nature.com/articles/6800016.pdf)
“In most studied species with heteromorphic sex chromosomes YY genotypes are inviable (see above), as are androgenic haploid plants of S. latifolia, with only a Y chromosome (Ye et al, 1990), while X-haploid plants are viable” on page 5.
And for someone who doesn’t know its possible to reverse a male plant (even though I don’t think it’s such a common practice among casual growers) but just out of interest “Sex Reversal in the Male Plants of Cannabis sativa L. by Ethyl hydrogen-I-propylphosphonate” (https://sci-hub.mksa.top/10.1016/S0044-328X(72)80168-5).
Some really cool stuff thanks for sharing you’re welcome here any time wish I was little more knowledgeable in the biology aspect of things
So as to continue the beating up, I wonder if stripping off a bunch of the most damaged leaves would do the male any good?
I mean, if you really feel like bullying it…
