If you send me these seeds, how am I to know they are not normally feminized seeds?
The professional seed banks are profit driven, if it were at all true, they would absolutely use this to sell very expensive real regular female seeds. Again, sorry, but your logic is very flawed.

Ok and so am I, and because I donât like stressing my females for hermies I donât sell my seeds Im a cannabis caregiver so I make profit on the flower not the seeds, my brother owns a seed bank and if I breed I buy 1 male seed and breed it with another is that a problem or better said whatâs your problem with me? And if I had a big mouth like quite a few people than Iâd bring in some one that has received some from me and have them help once they were started, but 2 reasons I wonât, itâs not there place to be involved and I donât mention names without permission. But Iâm not gunna argue as I stated why I wonât bring some one in to confirm this theory so Iâm gunna let you go not worth arguing over

First, the only problem I have is with people putting out inaccurate information on our site. There is a reason this site is quickly becoming one of the best sites to get accurate reliable information, unlike many other forums out there. Latewood and I have gone to great lengths to make it, and keep it so.
Secondly, besides the simple and clear logic I just presented to everybody, that if it were at all true, then absolutely at least one of the Amsterdam, if not all of them, as well as one or more of the very popular B.C. Canadian seed banks would use this, as it would be very profitable for them, but they donât, that alone speaks volumes.
And then there is the fact that the science itself of what makes a seed female or not doesnât back up this chart at all.
If you donât want me to correct you, then donât post information that is plain wrong and misleading to our customers, it is simple as that, otherwise I have no problem with you as a member here.

And again, not one of those banks uses this method, that in and of itself, speaks so much about this method.

No need to be a smartass when I was simply saying something and dropped the subject wanna keep dragging it out ok, than Iâll post up pictures of seeds used by this chart labeled as what I think are male and female, and i will post repeated updates to prove you wrong to legitmately show just cause you think itâs wrong doesnât mean itâs wrong and other people can be right Iâll post seperat pictures of the makes and females I picked since Iâm so âwrongâ hopefully your smartass comments will stop as I was only trying to be civil and move on but couldnât even do that, and once again show you that just cause it doesnt come from a seed bank i can be right

That wonât prove anything as by pictures, there is no proof the seeds arenât normally feminized seeds, lol
Of course because you seem to want to get more and more upset, I am not the one actually saying anything âsmart assâ or rude, just sticking to the facts. But if you want to go on, I can easily block you from the site if you continue to get belligerent.
And as I said before, it isnât even the fact that there isnât a legitimate seed bank in the world that believes in or uses this method, it is the simple fact that the science doesnât back this method up at all.
Hey I know this thread is 3 years old but I been looking for this chart for hours and just FYI this has been featured in 420 magazine and other publications I have used it once before with 100% success. DonJ why would you use this on feminized seeds from a bank they are guaranteed. This is meant for people harvesting their own seeds. Yes you may throw out a few females if you are super picky but knowing how 1 male could ruin an entire crop itâs a no brainer. Majiktoker Iâll take any seeds you want to part with especially if theyâre something special. Also I have heard that commercial seed banks use a process with electricity and silver to make feminized seeds. Not sure how true it is but Iâd rather do it myself with a jewelry loop. Happy growin all
It takes about 30 min to an hour to pick through 20-30 seeds with a jeweler loop. The seed banks would have to hire child laborers to use this method selling millions of seeds In sure they are never visually inspected⌠Pretty sure they use the silver method mentioned⌠Couple silver coins and a current and you can tooâŚ

@end_user itâs called colloidal silver. You can also buy it premade. It does work. There is also a process called apomixis that makes a plant produce seeds without pollenation. The seeds are exact genetic copies of the plant.
@MacGyverStoner @Majiktoker
I donât know for sure if this method works, I will start there. The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Just because there is no proof it does work does not mean it doesnât work. Same breath, just because it works for one person doesnât mean it works for all because some people will scrutinize the standards more than others. I am actually testing this method for females indicators on 43 Humboldt purple Trainwreck seeds, of 43 I found 4 that meet these standards perfectly. Another member is doing the same with male indicators. Search for âseed selection journalâ in the forum. Iâm going to go thru all 43 and see what the percentage is of females.

Sorry, wivesâ tales.
As is often said, seeds have about a 50/50 chance of being male or female. But in actuality, there are slightly more female seeds than males, maybe 55/45.
I totally agree with @Donaldj, that there are likely lots of perfectly good female seeds getting thrown away.

Doing the colloidal silver as i type, have heard about the seed profiles before, well i will be germinating D H G regular Bruce Banner seeds soon so i will give the female seed profile a go, dont know until you try i suppose, i have heard positives and negatives, only one way to find out i have 10 regular seeds.
Lets get forum users who have regular seeds to give it a go, get some actual results from many.
Oh i would never throw seeds away because of a particular shape!
