GROW
with many phenotypes showing up to choose
from, all female. Dominant genes will show up,
and recessive genes too. You will still need discretion
and accuracy in selecting what mothers you
will want to work with.
I have also noticed that when using LED lights in
conjunction with a 250-watt HPS, you can get
high quality female seeds with little electrical use.
When the female plant is first sprayed it takes a
minimum of 25 days to start to change into a
male. All that while, the female plants are in
flowering mode building up THC crystals. Its not
until at least day 35 when the female turned male
starts to throw pollen on the other untouched
females. Because of the late stage of pollination,
the buds are also not to bad to smoke and even
better to make water hash from. When seeds are
made from males mating with females this
process occurs sooner making the buds have
much less resin.
As with all seed crops the important thing is to
let the seeds fully ripen. The seeds should be hard
and dark colored. They will only grow Females.
To me cannabis seeds are real time currency. All
other organic seeds of food-oriented plants are
currency as well for me. In these times of economic
crisis, we could solve a whole bunch of
our economic woes by looking to this most
sacred of plants.
On a worldwide basis so many unemployed peoples
could find a healthy job working in a legal
cannabis business made up of small organic cottage
industries. We are in a very ripe time on
earth for this to become reality.
Storing seeds is also an art, they should be fully
dried in a breathable paper container for at least
one month after harvest. Then they can be placed
in a more airtight container and kept in a cool,
dark and dry place. Seeds do not like heat, moisture
or heavy sunlight.
Anyone who has only grown cannabis for smoking
buds, and never tried growing their own
seeds really needs to try it on for size. In the same
way that one gets full satisfaction from growing
their own smoke, growing your own seeds for
the future is equally satisfying.
I thank All the Angels for the Divine plant Kingdom
with all its blessings.
