silly question help please

[bigolemarv]

is cloning a feminized seed any different than a normal seed ,,, i mean from a female plant that was a feminized seed

 

[JustAnotherAntMarching]

nope

 

[JustAnotherAntMarching]

your talkin about a plant not a seed right??

In my last indoor crop i took 15 clones from a feminized gdp and when i turned the over to bud male pollen sacs developed. Somone told me that even though you have feminized seed they can have that hermi charicteristic as well. was really disapointing,

There is

Male
Male-Female
Female-Male
Female

when cloning from clones:
If its a herm, it will always be. If its a pure female, it will always be (but you can screw it up)

Most seeds are Female-Male. This is where the plant appears completely female but you find some seeds throughout. It happens most often as this is the course of evolution and nature at its best. W/o pollen, we would have no more plants (male or female).

A feminized seed is a stabilized female that will not produce a pollen sack, ever. Very very VERY hard to create properly, as once you do it becomes a clone only strain. It will never breed with itself.

K_l_t, your fem gdp was pollinated, or not a fem at all.

There seem to be a lot of "fem" seeds out there that hermie. I am not a fan of fem seeds at all. Where did you get this "fem" seed and what strain is it?

- If you 'find some seeds throughout' it is a hermie, which is a plant that is going feral. I have plenty of experience with feral genetics . . .

- I've produced fem seed using my feral male hermies. The offspring has so far been completely free of hermies, but of course it can breed with itself! I have a bag of 50 seeds of my F3 generation from the same strain. I was lucky enough to get one male from all the fems from the previous seed run and used it. Otherwise I would have had a clone-only strain.
'Feminised' seed may have the occasional male. And even if not, you could always reverse a female to get a pollinator.

I have been growing for a short time and have done well so far. My friends tell me I have a green thumb. However I have a question. How are feminized seeds produced? Or is it just the luck of the draw when a plant produces seeds?

leather, welcome to the forum. It is the done thing to start one's own thread, not hijack another. Still, to answer your question:
Fem seeds are made using pollen from a female plant. Either the 'male' (pollen provider) is a feral plant such as I have used; or, more likely, the seed producer reversed a female using chemicals, to get it to produce pollen.
