2013 Cannabis World Summit - Day 6 - RD SoCal Seed Collective

One of the main heads from the SoCal Seed Collective, he offered to speak about the intentional hermi breeding of female cannabis plants, though the focus of the interview drifted somewhat. Interspersed through the interview are nuggets of information to be gathered to learn how to deliberately force a female cannabis plant to become a hermaphrodite producing male pollen flowers. Why would you want to do that? Well, first of all, that is how seed manufacturers produce the feminized seeds they sell, and so virtually all seeds planted will result in female plants that will grow into bud producing plants. The male plants are generally discarded by most growers as soon as gender is determined because they don't produce the medicinal buds, and thus with regular seeds 50% of seeds produce males, thus wasting valuable time & energy growing useless plants. As discussed, this is also a way to preserve the genetics of a clone only strain, but an alternative method discussed is to use the male pollen from another strain, and then breeding the offspring back to the clone for a few generations until approximately 99% of the genetics is from the original clone (Google how the Cinderella 99 strain was created to understand this cubing process further). He goes on to explain how the seed strains available from them are exception, though only available to people within California, but does mention a few foreign seed banks that carry some of their strains. If you grow cannabis, and are interested in such methods, then be sure to give this a listen to.
