Planting math: Pre-germinated seeds will have about 77% success(bugs, birds, mold, adverse genetic abnormalities), so we're down to 47. Of those 47, half of them will be males.

I'm growing to make seeds to propagate three strains this year so I'll only keep three of those, so we're down to 24-ish girls. Of those only about 25% will be "exceptional" and grow quickly and robustly, so I'm down to 6 excellent girls and 3 boys to make seeds with.

Crazy huh? The other girls get distributed free of charge to my friends who are not concerned with propagating strains.... the other males get "recycled"

The lucky males go inside the house under lights with only 10 hours a day of light to stimulate quick harvest, the pollen is sifted to remove all plant material and mixed 50/50 with flour to further reduce moisture content and then refrigerated to preserve it.

On 9/2, 10 weeks before harvest day on 11/11 I dust the lower branches with the preserved pollen on the lower branches only, marking each branch with a twist-tie identifying the strains used. 10 weeks later all the seeds are ready and the marked branches are harvested and stored before the rest of harvest continues.

A lot more work than tomatoes, which I pick and eat, lol.....

W🙀W!

Still … my math adds up for twenty reasons.

That's how "female" seeds are made. Because there's only female dna, 90% of the seeds will become female. Happened to me back in the 70's. Now a days females are "stressed" by denying water, or damaging parts of the plant which causes them to express the "herm" gene. All cannabis has this gene, so don't let anyone tell you that growing seeds from a herm will make more herms. It's the stress that causes that, not genetics. During times of stress the gene helps the species to survive by making seeds as quickly as possible.

edited: some people cause this stress by "topping" the plant as often as possible, many times this is done to hide the plant from neighbors, as I did in the 70's.
