What strain should I try first? Once they arrive of course. Ordered from Nirvana

It really doesn't matter, they all regular seeds. do the Aurora!!

[abadtrip]

Dam thoes are some pricey seeds I hope u get more than 50percent fem

[Canuck147]

Yeah, first thing I saw was the price in - Pounds no less. At that price I would expect feminized seeds.

[Lpro27]

Dude you should definitely try the Aurora Indica. Is the best Indica I've ever tried in my life, reaaaally good for sleeping and a tasty flavor. All sticky buds for sure. Take a look at my first aurora grow.

[Madman960]

Nice plants!! What lights did you use? Soil or hydroponics?

[GreenDragonRon]

Wow, that looks sticky. I have 2 of these seeds soaking as I type, I hope they turn out as well for me.

[Madman960]

Lol. Those prices are for 5 of each seed. Sorry, didn't realize it showed only 1 seed per strain.

Yes, I got all reg seeds on purpose. In the book "Growing Cannabis Indoors", it states that seeds that germinate out the sides tend to be male and those that germinate out the top or bottom, tend to be female. I want to test that theory. it also states it's not 100 percent accurate but a good indicator.

Looks like Aurora is up 1st.

Thanks guys.

Also if there is a perfect volcano shape hole at the end its ment to be female

[Mr.furley]

Madman, I'm doing a aurora this grow, it looking Hefty and is pretty easy going. So I hear a little trick about more nitrogen less potassium, phosphorus early in life will promote more female growth on regular seed

[Mr.furley]

OJH I remember downloading the page but now I can find it. Shoot would have like to share it here.

[Madman960]

Are you referring to the slightly higher N and lower PK in the seedlings early life to promote more females from seeds?

[oldjarhead100]

yes and slightly higher humidity there 3 or 4 things to do to influence sex, I did 10 my buddy did 10 I did everything Jorge said to do my buddy didn't do anything I got 7 females he got 2

[Madman960]

Thanks, Mr. Furley!!

Also, part of the experiment is to see if sex can be determined by germination. I was always under the impression, environment and low stress created more females. Will post results when I find out.

Received my seeds from Nirvana today. All 40 of them. Was in nervous as I sent $148 cash. Very happy customer. Soaked 6 seeds in distilled water with 1 mil of Fertilome root stimulator for 1 hour. 2 each, Supper Skunk, Aurora Indica, and Chyrstal. The SS sank almost immediately. The other 4 just floated. Put seeds in moist paper towels and Ziploc bags. In my humidity dome in the tent. 80 degrees and 90 percent humidity. Probably check them early Sunday morning. This experiment is to see if seeds that germinate out the side are male and out the end are female. Will take pictures of everything and keep everyone updated.

Happy growing.

U may want to check them sooner than Sunday I just place the seed in the rr and put it in the heated dome in 3 days it's ready to go into my hydro system. I usually have a tap root in 24 hrs.

[stevenics]

Raspberry cough, jock horror. Both awesome strains. I have a 3 week old jock in a ten gallon home made autopot.

Also if there is a perfect volcano shape hole at the end its ment to be female

This is not true buddy, please don't spread bad info

[ellz]

I can attest to the fact that this is not accurate. I just tested it on this grow and of the 4 seeds I chose, it was 50/50....2 girls, 2 boys.

[RobM]

Therr is a whole thepry on it. Some growers say theu get 70% fems from that method. Personally im at 50/50 lol

[Madman960]

Thanks Ellz. I terminated my experiment. I remember reading years ago that environment was a big factor in sexing of the plants.

ABT, Transferred my 6 plants to rockwool. Most were swollen and looked ready to burst. 1 SS has a Taproot out the bottom.

Stevenics, what is an auutopot? I can look it up later, just no time at the moment.

[oldjarhead100]

Madman thany you for the chucks everytime I see this post I think of the price list ,their must of been half dozen of us that shit when we saw the prices and thought it was for 1 seed lol

[Madman960]

OJH, lol. I thought it showed 5 of each when I posted it. Probably because I already new. Think I may try seedman next. Going to take notes of my post about getting more females and keep it in my growroom.

Happy growing.

My wife and I are big fans of the Raspberry Cough from Nirvana (as are all our friends with whom we share our grow). Great smell and taste. I am currently growing a Raz Cough mother plant for cloning. Have also really liked the Mango Skunk (got those as freebies for one of my Nirvana orders. They smell great in the grow room but Raspberry much better in the jar.). Good luck and Happy Growing!

[NebulaHaze]

You picked some great strains! I've had great results with just about every Nirvana strain I tried. I really liked both Aurora Indica and White Rhino when I grew them. Aurora Indica stays short and is ready to harvest quickly, while White Rhino is a bit bigger and takes a little longer, but will reward you with good yields if you take good care during the flowering stage.

I wrote a little bit about the variability of plant gender and how to increase the number of females from regular seeds here if anyone is interested. I'd love to hear all your thoughts on it! I also wrote a little bit more about using the appearance of seeds to identify gender at the very top of that page if you want to check it out, too.
