HOW TO PRODUCE MORE FEMALES FROM REGULAR SEEDS
Posted: Wed 26th Sep 2007 04:30 pm
hi folks,been reading through old posts & notice that your return of female seeds from regular are dissapointing so thought i would try to improve your percentages.
firstly when germinating seeds in tissue put under a cardboard box near a heater,do not put in cool/cold place.(its ok too put in cool place but this post is for producing more females)
2nd.when cotlydone appears then put into small pots under floro lights,now heat is important and have a 18/6 light cycle on
3.wait till the 4th shoot to appear not including cotlydone then put under a mh(metal halide) which produces more blue spectrum(blue helps produce more females) & put light cycle to 14on & 10 off. also as its an HID light put plants around 2-3 feet away from lights(depending on wattage of light,ie ;1000watt =3 foot away,600 watt =2 foot,250 watt 18 inches)
4.now start feeding with a more nitrogen based nutrient(remembering that nutrients are based on 1000watt lights therefore if using a less powerfull light 600watt or less, use 1/2 of the stated dose=say 2ml per litre only use 1ml per litre etc)
5.while under hid lights try too keep the heat down a little=70-75 c
6.after around 10 days put cycle onto a 18/6 & now get the heat up a little back to your normal temperatures& i will gaurantee your percentages will increase
these are just some variables which improve your chances of females plus you should allways buy regular seeds as there genetics are superior to feminished ,so when they show there sex ,from your regular seeds,pick a female for clones, but hey thats another story for another time
NOW GO AND TRY IT OUT GUYS YOU,LL BE AMAZED
