Fem seeds and there impact on the future of the species known as cannabis.

[SnowHigh]

I can vouch for the fact that seeds sprouted under 24 hours light will give you a higher percentage of females and I have most definitely done statistically significant numbers. I was hoping to shelve this one until we had sorted out if we can turn a real female into a viable male. But it has come up.

I've thought about this for years. I hinted at this before, "I can turn a real male into a female, but I can't turn a real female into a male". You can switch something off that is there, but you can switch something on that isn't there.

I believe that the expression of sexuality "Chrysalises" at germination. Maleness is switched on or off depending on the conditions the seed sprouts in. The true females will always be females. Maybe it's the sexually ambivalent group (intersex, hermie, call it what you want) that go either way depending on the conditions, but it is also conceivable that true males can switch. Thoughts anyone?
N.

Nevil,

Have you found that Blue spectrum 5600K with 24H light (70-18 degrees Fahrenheit) seems to produce more females? Also a Red spectrum used could produce more males with higher temps. What do you think do light spectrum and temp affect sexuality from germination to seedling?

Keeping these ideas in my head I like to keep things in a vegetative state until sexual maturity has stabilized. 2 to 3 months for sativas and 1 to 2 months of Indicas.

 

[Kangativa]

Hey Chimera I said help people not get them to follow.

God forbid I would hate people to follow me seeing I live such a miserable existance.....Lol

 

[bushweed]

I laugh when I see people alluding to the sacrosanct monotheism of science. Jesus, in philosophical circles deconstructionism went out of fashion a couple of hundred years ago with the death of Newton. Where've you been? No other reading material in the Hortipharm library?

Now that's a bit abstruse for your average pundit, but some of you people need to read more broadly to gain some perspective. After all, the chief rebuttal of deconstructionism was that by micro-analyzing the minutiae of a single subject, blinds the observer to the big picture.

Kangativa has recorded qualitative evidence in the form of observations from thousands of subjects of female to male ratios of 70-80%. This has been repudiated as unscientific by people who expect him to supply some form of corroborating evidence, otherwise in a George W Bush kind of extrapolation - it's bullshit.

Question is what sort of corroborating evidence can someone growing an illegal crop supply?

I'll paint a metaphor for you.

In the time that Kangativa has arrived on these forums he has produced the largest marijuana plants seen on the internet, he has graciously answered all sorts of questions on his methods, and he has provided Nevil with a strain Nevil thinks may be a real contender for crossing with his best ever strains.

Not once in that time has he beat his breast about the size of his plants (or as you like to put it Chimera - his dick). Not once has he criticized people for inane questions, and there's been many. Nor has he ever mentioned that he grows the highest grade cannabis that puts 99% of commercial strains to shame.

In general he has comported himself as a humble, open minded man who is happy to share ideas, seeds and strains without the kind of superiority complex that is ubiquitous amongst other experienced breeders, growers and self appointed experts.

When he says he observes 70 - 80% females in his grows, I have no doubt that this is true.

Kanga will be embarrassed that I've put this in here, but anyone who drops shit like this:

simply doesn't need to bullshit.

That's no one inch dick grower right there mon frere. Put that shit in a smart pot and Americans be calling it 30 feet.

While it may not be scientific to accept Kangativa's words. Nor is it scientific to dismiss them.

To provide even a hint of scientific verisimilitude, one simply must concede the possibility that what he says is true.

I understand you are dubious of these figures if they aren't in line with what you have observed. But how self centered to think that your observations in the Marinol lab can therefor be applied to all conditions. This is tantamount to accepting the myth that environment has little or no effect on sexual expression, where common sense dictates that it does.

Put an indica in an equatorial environment and see how quickly it reverts to sativa like characteristics. Treat a crop of seedlings like shit and see how many males rear up to further the species.

And this is where the pan-50/50% m/f argument falls over, because just about every grower from the freshman to the Dean, has observed directly how good conditions and materials influence high female rates.

Now the next m/f to talk science gets a free feminization.

[kylebroflovski]

I actually wasn't talking to you directly Mr egocentric- I am speaking generally to anyone that can put up a large populaion of a single male:female mating that repeatedly shows a statistically higher than 50% number of females.

It wouldn't prove you are better, it would prove that you are honest. I don't know you from Adam, so I don't take your words as facts... you are but a few pixels on a screen to me, so I question and want to see your evidence when you offer "evidence" that counters the facts I know to be true. Science is peer reviewed, examined by your peers to make sure you haven't fuck'ed up or misinterpreted the data. Words are just words, and don't add to a scientific discussion... people just want to be right for the sake of being right. Sound familiar?

The internet is a funny place, any idiot with a 1" long penis can stand up and say he has the biggest phallus in the world. However, when you refuse to drop your drawers because you claim that you aren't interested in embarrassing those with a smaller member, it makes me think you're the kid with the small penis pretending to be a giant on the internet...



Not at all a slap to me, I could care less if you want to believe someone that is clueless... that's the reason cults exists, because some wanker convinces a bunch of chumps to follow him. If that's what brings a smile to your face then I truly feel bad for you kangativa.... what a miserable existence you must have.

so where are we now? Oh yeah, I'm ignoring you..... you haven't added anything of value to the discussion, and now are wasting my time responding to you and not someone with an interesting perspective, like Nevil.... {ignore on}

Nevil I wrote a lengthy reply, but I lost it when I hit submit..apparently I had taken too long to compose and was logged out. I'll rewrite it when I have a little more time, but it's late tonight and I have other things to do.

Respectfully,
-Chimera

Was your blood sugar low when you responded with this Chimera? Not a very scientific response.

Scientists have verified what Kanga and I and Nevil and many other MNS Forum members know. Some sexual expression can be influenced by environment. I definitely have noticed it easier to obtain higher female percentages when desired but getting more males seems WAY more rare IME.

How have you NOT seen this??? This is perplexing to me. YOU are the cream of the crop of breeders today. Nevil was a bird breeder and he probably noticed it after a year or two of growing Cannabis. Certainly NO bird brain there. I'm sure Nevil at least felt it worthy of exploration and conducted his OWN studies like Kanga and myself did.

I started less than 2000 seeds before I was figuring ways to get more girls. The guys at DP were starting lots of 25 (according to DJ Short) and they were writing papers on it half a decade ago.

I'm starting to think you haven't started as many seeds as YOU claim. Hmmmmmmm.

KB 8)_~

PS Copy and paste all responses in the future. I'm really stupid and it took me all of two days on the interweb to figure that out. Sheeesh. Does a team of guys submit your responses over at ICMag? I hope you are more proficient in your genetic selections and your scientific observation than you are in copying and pasting. Man if you aren't than what information is in those seeds you are slinging?

PPS I have copied and pasted approximately 16 times for this response. It is 3 am and I have had a long day. Tomorrow my day will begin at 8 am and end late as well. This is a very important topic of discussion which is unfolding before our eyes and you want to look at the back of yours!?

 

[HerbertTheExpert]

Thats funny, as I got the impression Kanga was exactly who you were talking too! The old Texas two step huh Chimera? Surprise, Surprise!


Example 1


Example 2



Example 3





Thats your idea of respectfully?

What a low class move on your part Chimera! By the way, where is my response Mr. Scientist?

Yeah, I would log out and go do something else too if I was you! Ive had others write me, chumping at the bit to grab ahold of you and turn you over my knee. I hope you respond back with the same kind of "respect" you've shown Kangativa, as I give you my word you'll receive the same the back!



All you have to do, Mr. Scientist lol, is log back in and that response will be there for all to see! I would think someone of your "education level" would have sussed that one out!

Come on back you hear? By all means, be "Respectful"

http://www.mrnice.nl/forum/showthread.php?t=1935

Shanti, how long do you want to allow this ????? to post on your site & act in the manner it does? i believe you read a lot more than you post Shanti, & I believe you're fully aware of it's actions, it even refers to conversations you've shared where you've asked it to play "nice" so i believe you 2 are in contact. I view this as your house & you've allowed it to host your party, therefore, to a certain extent, I now group you in with this individual, unless it's a case of keeping friends close & enemies closer?? I believe it has attracted some individuals to your site, mostly the same sort of zealots as itself, that's the connection, like mided individuals of a skew whiffed perspective you've given it free room to try to discredit nearly everyone in the canna scene except yourself & nevil. Is this solely because it slips in some compliments about yourself all the time? Is it massaging your ego that much that you fail to see that it's actions & you condoning them by proxy(by allowing your site to be it's message board) leave you looking less than "nice".
I'll be honest i came to this site on the recommendation of many reputable people in the canna scene that all had good to say about yourself and Nevile, at first i gave you the benefit of the doubt that it was just some creepy weirdo sat in it's parents basement trying to put the world to rights when it had no experience of life itself, outside of the basement, initially Ibelieved that you were a caring individual that didn't want to ask it to leave as it obviously held you in high regard & you didn't want to take that away from it, however some of the actions of this individual go beyond just sitting out & watching. The numerous allegations it has thrown around are certainly not "nice".

I don't imagine if things were put on you in the same way it's been allowed to openly accuse, harass/troll that you'd have been so forgiving or maybe you would? & it's just with it's actions my perception of yourself & Nevil has changed.

Possibly it has attracted a few members, these same members may also be customers of yours now, but at what price does this come at? You don't have the diverse members that your site should attract(going back to my initial recommendation of your work) instead you're ending up with a site that seems to agree with this individuals actions & as mentioned this is perhaps because it seems to post on your authority without fear of consequence, kinda like it has a free pass to be as abusive as it wishes as long as it continues to praise yourself, surely you know this individual is unwelcome at any other site on the net acting the way it does. In it's deluded, conspiracy laden mind it's because of all the censorship. I've been about a bit & there's many tolerant people in the canna scene but there comes a time when you need to step in & ask it to stop, it happens on every other site but here, i know it's stating that it's been asked to stop, but with it's taunting of your request & continuous bile does it seem like the behavior is stopping or this individual is sat there rubbing its hands together in glee, it's not a nice individual lol, perhaps i'm mistaken & perhaps the name "nice" was solely a play an alias of Howard Marks but I felt the alias had been chosen as the very definition of the name was a a way of life to live by? lol yeah, perhaps I've indulged in the hippy ciggies too long but I sincerely assure you Shanti, my view of yourself has changed as you've given this individual free reign to spew its bile & sit there & gloat & when i look at this the only reason i can think of is it massages your ego, in closing & after going off tangent perhaps i'll get to the point, for every member this individual attracts (with for the most part the same twisted ideas as this individual, hence lowering the tone & creating a not nice environment clique/group,) it drives away other members/grower that don't agree with these actions.

Your seeds are sat in my fridge, I've no longer any desire to grow your gear out or help promote your work by posting your strains online as I believe you're fine with this individuals aggressive pr work that seem to be mostly done on your behalf, as a result of the lunatic being allowed to run/ruin your forum I don't come here that often & very seldom post now but if you get back to me with a safe addy I'll be glad to forward you your beans back to you, if this is the type of individual that you chose to associate with then I want no part of it.

History has shown that little men with twisted ideas have become popular, Hitler springs to mind, sure the completely weirdo rubber necking at crash sites type would cite that even Hitler needed friends & was after all, another human being but despite this & despite Hitlers popularity it doesn't make any of his actions "nice"...much like the action of your companies personal online PR guru.

I'm some what apologetic at writing this but in the interest of free speech & wanting to put my own views out there I've decided to post it anyway, this site seems to operate on a free speech about anyone other than "mr nice co" which you seem to condone without limits(free speech doesn't exist like this in the free world anywhere today, it may start out as free speech but can quickly be changed to harassment, stalking, slander libel etc

If I'm completely mistaken on your views of this individual & it's behavior then please accept my sincere apologies, with the lack of intervention from yourself it's easy to form opinions when this behavior has continued without consequence, however if you are against this individuals actions then please address it & let your own thought be known

Drop me a line if you get a moment & perhaps we can further discuss or perhaps you can forward me a safe address to return your companies seeds, oh & this isn't a case of cutting a nose of to spite a face, it's a case of having principals & morals, things that seem to have escaped some of your member base

That is one funny post Herbert The Expert.

You are not really a potential customer who wants to start some good seeds. You are NOT here to make this a better place. You are not here to help or learn with people. You have some kind of past or present issue with JessE which is apparent by your "it" ramblings. That really confused me at first. But painted a portrait of you at it's conclusion.

Please stop pretending to be a disgruntled customer who will no longer purchase seeds because Shanti somehow has a messed up way of doing things on these forums. This forum will stay self regulated, that's one (of many) thing(s) that makes it great. That's why it upsets you so much. It's out of your control. Knowledge will steamroll the Stoner-Gate soldiers.

All you wannabe conjurers of self destruction should realize this forum is a much different beast than the one you are used to slaying. No Trojan Horses will bring it down!

Really?

I know it doesn't really fit in with the 'MNS doesn't delete posts' ethos, but it sure would be great if the 'my dick is bigger than your dick' & the kiddy name calling crap could be filtered out of this thread.

The thread is great in parts and then I hit a bum note when the shoite starts up again. It really turns me off trying to get through the thread.

It seems a big can of negativity has been opened on the Mr Nice Forums over the past few months by certain members, it's a shame. I came here from ICRag to avoid this negative bull.

I've even stayed away from the MNS forum for a bit because I'm fed up of seeing the same people go at it over and over again. Debating is fine, but slinging shit....well you can only flog a horse so much you know.

We all have differing opinions, some are right and some are wrong-it takes a man/woman to admit when your wrong and move forward with the new evidence of the day. Something might even be right today and wrong tomorrow, after all the Earth was supposed to be flat and look how that turned out.

We can all have an opinion there's no law against that, but lets try and do it in a civil manner please. Is that to much to ask?

Lets try and get along and bring the forum back in line with how it was-NICE!

If you want to sling shit, call names or belittle people then you cant get a much better place to do your cussing than on ICRag. I recommend you keep the negativity to that forum in the future.

Just my 2 cents.

hello kyle, "I'm not a potential customer"? I've been a loyal customer for many years & have several varieties of Shanti's work in my fridge...who are you to say what type of a customer I am? It's fairly obvious what side your bread's buttered & what type of an individual you are, you appear to be the type that agrees with conspiracy theories & take great joy at your friend/mentor's aggressive posting habits, thriving on conflict for the betterment of mr nice lol what's the game? try to discredit everyone & anyone so Shanti can corner a market? Shanti's reputation should be enough to attract other growers, not this aggressive, trolling type of PR work he seems to silently condone, but hey, the internet's a great place for people like yourself, in the real world things like this just don't happen(shit slinging)...that's because in the real world there are consequences, something I'm guessing you've never had to face up to, oh the joys of the virtual world

As for the "it" ramblings, i could have been a lot more descriptive with reference to this individual but as "it" acts without remorse or conscience & has traits similar to that of a psychopath i believe "it" was rather fitting, & inline with this thread I don't know if this individual is a he/she or a he-she? so referring to "it" as he or she was out of the window, now isn't it strange that you don't feel the need to step in when your mentor is being abusive to others, funny that eh? yeah i refer to this individual as "it" & suddenly I'm the problem lol keep telling yourself that

Again with me "pretending to be a disgruntled customer" i would define that as you again suggesting that I'm a fictional customer of Shanti's, why's that? because I don't agree with you & your cliques deluded chain of thought nor the actions that you all huddle together & condone & cheer each other on, your clique has real problems, it's fairly obvious but you all like to make believe that outside of Shanti's forum it's dangerous, everyone but your group is the problem & the only reason people like yourself & clique have been removed & asked to leave is because of censorship lol, it's not, it's because of the way you lot think & go about things, & again it comes back to the real world & that you & your lot wouldn't be allowed to get away with it, infact I'm sure you'd end up facing the consequences of your actions so being banned from sites is you & your type getting off lightly all things considered

I believe it is in the interest of your clique that this site does remain unregulated as I'm sure you'd end up facing the same actions that I've no doubt you've all encountered elsewhere(you know them big nasty, evil websites where they censor your unfounded deluded accusations & manner in which you conduct yourselves), & lets be clear if Shanti did remove you lot you'd only return under another alias much like the poster beneath you, not suggesting he was asked to leave here but he's been asked to leave other sites that's for sure. I'll skip your paranoid conspiracy that I'm some part of stoner-gate lol I'm just an ex member, ex customer from here that doesn't enjoy the way this sites being run & the free reign that your mentor-"it" has been allowed to conduct itself, there's nothing more to it than that, i'm not asking for any of your money, I'm not asking for any of your custom, I'm not even trying to discredit others in the canna scene & trust me I know the online canna scene can be a a murky business with undesirables within, yet the scene is mostly self regulated, that's why individuals like yourself & mentor & the 1 below etc have a common bond, the rest of the community views you in an entirely different light than that of which you view yourselves

@Herbert

Not 1 useful post from u!

Go drink your milk m8.

FreshGenetics/JayButta/Doug E Fresh or whatever you've settled on, you have posted before about "great trolling going on" in reference to yours & "it's" actions, so it's pretty clear what tree you fell from, you've been removed from sites before but I'm glad you've found your little clique here, you know where your doo-lally thoughts fit in, where trolling & harassing people is a great way to spend an afternoon, what do you do when you're not online under numerous names? follow women in the park for kicks? wage a postal campaign against your neighborhood? you're a self admitted troll, which btw I have to hand it to you, at least you're honest in this regard, something which "it" would probably try & deny(being a troll) as for post counts, I was an active member here when you weren't & from the looks of it you've more input in music videos & radio stations than in growing, that's not a problem nor is there a problem with some lite relief as long as nobody's getting hurt, but your type do enjoy others getting hurt, you do enjoy annoying & trolling people, me?, well i hardly post anymore

I'll leave it at that as I've no real interest in getting into it with you & your clique, my post was quite obviously an open post to Shanti, lets see how the man handles the situation or whether he chooses to try to ignore it still, as for you little boys, feel free to continue to group together & post away but my post was quite obviously directed at Shanti & that's another reason i settled on "it" as a descriptive term, nowhere in my post did I mention you or kyle, perhaps that's another alias of yours? so do yourself a favor, unless you have authority to speak on Shanti's behalf, go back to posting youtube clips

redeye, I'm not quite sure how to receive your post or if it was even directed at me, but with the "stoner-gate" tag in your sig I'll make an assumption that the negativity's only a problem when it's responded to by members here, that is, "its" aggressive trolling & slanderous articles etc that cannot be interpreted in any other sense other than being negative(excluding the snippets where "it" praises Shanti) are not a problem? but everybody else should take the high road & not respond in the same manner that "it's" allowed to? If I've misinterpreted your response then I'm sorry, but if I'm on the right track then I bid you good day

best wishes

err... What was this thread about again?

Actually.. I remember now having gone back a few pages..

One thing strikes me as a bit unusual when reading back.. Some dude who posts a few threads about his great big plants in Australia is now giving Chimera some shit.. I mean cmon..

Chimera has a very proven track record and deserves a lot of respect compared to some guy who, like I said.. Grew some great big plants, created some strains and has sent Nevil some weed.. Now he expects everyone to bow down to him like he is some sort of god. fuck that for a game of soldiers.. SHOW YOUR WORK... MAN!

Herb The Expert - "what's the game? try to discredit everyone & anyone so Shanti can corner a market?"

Shanti does not need ME or a "clique" for that, thats what harvest festivals are for.

As far as conspiracy theories go. I do believe that people who invest money actually research and conspire with others before figuring out how to manipulate a market. Not that far stretched of a notion when you take away the inflammatory, reactionary terms like "conspiracy theorist." They just call it a business meeting.

Doobz - "Chimera has a very proven track record and deserves a lot of respect compared to some guy who, like I said.. Grew some great big plants, created some strains and has sent Nevil some weed..

I agree with you Doobz that you can't judge a man by the SIZE of his PLANTS, until Chimera busted out the 1" penis argument. You have to admit that was a little weird man.

The thing I'am having trouble with is how a highly respected breeder/canna-scientist has not witnessed a commonly displayed characteristic of seed germination? Sometimes I get 50/50 m/f but usually when I attempt to influence things I/the environment can change the results of sexual expressions. How many NON-GMO seeds does one have to start to see that?

Lets have some straight talking then eh? When Shanti doesn't win a festival or cup it's because the whole thing was fixed? True? It's not because there was something better there? Or that different strains appeal to different people?
Yet when Shanti does win, rather than saying it's a justified win & further proof of the quality work he & Neville have put into the seed, should we not be suspicious that Shanti's win was fixed? You know, like it's OK to suggest with any other winner where Shanti doesn't place in the winners or runners up spot, or for some strange reason is that same line of thought flipped over not acceptable?

As for your second paragraph, flip that again & instead of suggesting it's all conspiracy theories/business meeting by the industries sharks, again that can't be attributed to Shanti & Neville eh?

Now I'm not suggesting the above is true, I'm simply following your chain of thought, but let me take a wild guess here, I'm wrong for even mentioning this, yet it's completely justifiable to suggest it about anyone other than Neville & Shanti?

Where do you find Shanti being attacked on other sites the way "it's" allowed to attack everyone & anyone on Shanti's site?

Is this really "nice" behavior?

No need to respond, I'll just wait for Shanti to post, I imagine "it" will refrain, maybe not, but the little clique will post on "its" behalf to try & shift this away from the open post directed at Shanti

OK HTE you win the argument.

Hold your breath for Shanti's post.

As far as the Cannabis plant is concerned, is the scientific concensus that the dioecious state (male/female plants) in Cannabis is a more "developed" (not sure how to word this) or evolved form of the plant over the monoecious state?

Why (if it is a later evolutionary step) does this develop in a species when it can pollinate itself already? I don't understand this.

The thing I'am having trouble with is how a highly respected breeder/canna-scientist has not witnessed a commonly displayed characteristic of seed germination?

The thing you're having trouble with is understanding statistics. All these commonly witnessed characteristics are ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE. They wash out and are not replicable.

Sometimes I get 50/50 m/f but usually when I attempt to influence things I/the environment can change the results of sexual expressions. How many NON-GMO seeds does one have to start to see that?

There are no commercially available GMO drug cultivars. Not even hemp.

Yep. It happened later.

Why (if it is a later evolutionary step) does this develop in a species when it can pollinate itself already? I don't understand this.

It's an outcrossing species. Grow out some S4 seeds and you'll see how detrimental self pollination can be.
