This appears to be a technique to produce male dominant seeds? Female flowers produced from a male plant would pass on mostly male jeans just as a female plant coaxed to produce male pollen sacs leads to a feminized line. Is this right? What is the interest in this and how does this help breeders
Would it be dangerous to apply Ethephon to plants that are destined to be smoked or processed into THC oil? Will it all react into ethylene and/or wash off first or will it pose a toxicity risk if smoked/ingested?
I think my male plant has begun doing this on it's own. I've been manually picking away male buds for the last month and putting incredible stress on the plant. Essentially defoliating it. I just today noticed what looked like a female flower and sure enough it has 5 stigma. Very strange.
The mass of the roots are primarily located underneath of the soil within the water held in a humidity tray. Springtails keep the roots clean and keep them from rotting. 0 nutrients were used other than leftover aquarium water. The soil contains a mix of ripped up sheet moss, perlite, Fluval Stratum, fine sand, and a touch of moisture retaining generic potting soil (possibly miracle grow I'm unsure at the moment).
The particular male I'm referencing assumedly comes from an autoflowering strain, as it began producing pollen sacs around the 3 month mark with 18/6 lighting.
I'm interested to see if this trend continues, and if it will self pollinate in the near future. Very informative video, thank you.
I appreciate your videos man I have a question please they're supposedly another way to get the plant to give you 100% pollen and no flour and it's not using silver or STS something to do with using hormones you have any idea what I'm talking about
using any kind of metallic stresses the plant therefore the seeds could have a chance of being herms
I’m curious what pollenating flowers on a feminized male with pollen from a masculinized female would result in… Does it come full circle to XX + YY = XY…? Increase or decrease in hermaphroditic tendency…?
Are the female seeds provided from the male plant will be viable or potent as to the original regular female seeds from the same strain line? Does the female seeds from the male plant needs to be crossbred in order to have viable and worthy female seeds? I ask because the female plant can be used to make feminized seeds which are viable copy of its intended genetic strain line, I wonder if this is also the same with the male plant when induced to producing female seeds in which 25% of seeds should be female but wonder if they are viable as to an authentic female seed. I also read that the US has just recently banned the use of "Ethephon". How are the "Ethephon" based products still being sold easily online in the US, is it only banned for the application to Kashmir products?
Speaking with cannabis breeders, I was under the impression this would make male-ized seeds. Like how, a herm, or plant pollinated with pollen from a reversed female, since there was no male DNA introduced, that creates feminized seeds. A reversed male pollinating itself would be the same, no female DNA in the making of the seeds, so would produce a majority male seeds. This would be preferable in the hemp industry, as males have a stronger fiber strength.
When is it too late to treat? I've been in flower for 3 weeks and thought it might be a hermaphrodite because it was showing signs. But now they are males 100%. BTW they are 2 strains grafted. Was it too much stress to turn both females into males? Any answers would be appreciated. Thank you in advance. I do DWC.
So.. producing male flowers/pollen on a female plant by introducing a chemical reaction with colloidal silver or something similar yields feminized seeds. So are the resulting seeds from making a male plant produce female flowers all male seeds?
Thank you it was very helpful mahalo 🤙🏽
As ethephon and ethylene gas are quite costly I thought of using the cheaper calcium carbide which is also used as a ripening gas.
That's pretty deep I guess the progeny would be regs xy. Where as inducing male anthers on a female would be xxy fem progeny
I am completing the seed harvest in a couple of weeks from a trial testing timing and rates on 25 different male cultivars using a similar protocol.

Does this work??
Update it’s been 3 weeks from spraying and I’ve just seen my first pistols

Any one know where to purchase a small amount of Ethephon ?? I’m in California

I have a young hermaphrodite. Is it possible to produce feminized seeds from it ? would love to keep the strain and it was my last seed. Tx
Is it possible for a female plant to switch to male on its own naturally? I had a female switch male on r2 seeds.
Transgender plant

Do you have another link to the study? Not getting any results from the link in the description.

Good content.
Thank you teacher!!!!🙏
Can seeds from the male plant used for commercial production? What are the chances of male plant producing male and female seeds?

Super cool! I can't wait to try this
