2-3 cuttings off Margelo look fine. mother ADF looks worse but Nothing I can Do. f1s progressing. showing shedding of oldest fan leaves. 2-5 checked HST Possible herm, found 6 fully formed completel male flowers underneath the buds in the plant, some were old and opened but with out fans moving air only passively with venting, it appears to have dropped down without pollinating much, checked calyxs in close proximity only 2 were seeded the rest were fine. the other F1s were checked and all had fewer that the hst individual. the leftmost plant that looks the best and was seeded modestly by her brother for f2 seed, had one perfect male blossom found. the over defoliated plant center had approximately 3 Perfect male flowers and also the only one to have a high number of darkening pistels indicating beginning of maturity? randomly selected swollen calyxs were opened and found to be empty leading me to believe that the herming has not ruined the bud for the most part but is very aggregating as the f2 seed will show a high propensity to herm as well Im hoping the back cross will be less inclined to herm. if it easliy Creats a monoecious plant like the F1s have. it leaves two choices abandon the line and do proper growing of the mother to study her and find out how best to try and grow her and do the same with males and only use non herming lines. or keep doing it the fast hard way where you learn and do the planning as shit happens. if they never stop herming in a monoecious way perphas it is a ressive trait and even with a true male chromosome in the gene pool it won't fix the issue as it is sex linked? or will it be possible to force it to evolve back to dieocious? or is it dominant and will decrease as the genepool is culled of that phenotype. only one way to find out.

Plantman224started grow question 3 years ago
feminization on vegging plants? Has anyone tried colloidal silver to feminze seed using only preflowers on vegging plants? I am looking to try this method (and keep a diary) on Margelo to get small amounts of seed on vegging gals.

@Plantman224 I am unsure if it will work without the flowering process being initiated but by all means give it a try you just never know .

you have a cool project going on i'm also doing a regular round right now but i have no plan at all i'm just hoping for a nice male that smells good or something and i'm doing some f1 regular seeds but why do u saying 95% a male isnt it 50%?? I'm confused😧 Happy growing

@Plantman224,ah thanks for the clarification now i understand

@JaramnieJazz, Thank you. Yes the occurrence of males in regular seed is a 50% chance per seed. so with 1 seed its 50/50 male or female. same if you plant 2 seeds each has a 50/50 chance as individuals of being either male or female. but statics find us the odds or chance of those 50/50 odds. so the more seeds you plant the higher the chance of finding your 50/50 male. with 5 seeds planted its 95% likely at least one will be either male or female. 7 seeds gives us 99% chance of at least 1 out of 7 being the opposite of the 50/50. in other words 7 coin tosses in a row gives 99% chances of tails. I don't know how to put a pic in comments so look in the dairy for a pic of a chart giving the number of plants needed for each odds ratio common in breeding.
