A standard seed of marijuana has one parent, the female. Standard marijuana plants come from only one female and one male parent and can actually produce both male and female plants at one time. It is almost impossible to tell whether or not a standard seed is going to turn into a female or a male later on.
Before you can determine the sex of your seed, you must determine the number of chromosomes in your seed. In marijuana plants, the two chromosomes that are responsible for making up a plant’s sexual characteristics are the x and the y chromosomes. In order for these chromosomes to be able to mate with each other, they have to have a sufficient number of pairs. When there is more than enough pairs, there is a greater chance that a female seed will develop into a male.
Once you have determined the number of chromosomes present in the female seed, you are ready to determine whether the seed is going to turn into a male or a woman. The procedure for doing this is quite simple.
In order to determine the sex of your seed, you need to take a knife and poke holes in your seed. In order to do this, make sure you get your seed as clean as possible by cutting it with as much moisture as you can. Place your seed in a dish of water. If you want to use a small dish, make sure you wrap it with some plastic wrap or some other transparent material so that it can keep from getting wet.
After placing your seed in a dish, cover it up using another dish or something else. Make sure that you do not allow any sunlight to come in through the hole. Just to be on the safe side, it is best to leave the seed out in the sun for a couple days, but not more than a week.
Now, after the seed is fully submerged, look at it under the microscope and try to determine what is inside the hole. You will find that it looks like a small ball. The hole that is inside of the ball is called a sebaceous gland.
What happens is that sebaceous glands produce an oily substance called sebum, which helps the plants to prevent dryness. When the seed touches sebum, the seed is attracted to it and is allowed to grow. This is how seeds begin to develop.
If you cannot see sebaceous glands, it is probably because your seed has lost all of its oil. Therefore, it is not necessary to take a seed out for testing. If the seed does turn into a female, however, you can still save the seed to replant in a pot.
When you first plant your seeds, you will notice that they are usually uneven in size. This is normal. Sometimes, they will become bigger than others and you will end up with seeds that look irregular.
As you water your seed, the seeds will settle down to the bottom and then the middle. These will then become bigger and more noticeable. Eventually, the seeds will start to separate.
At this point, you can take your seed out and take a look at it under the microscope. If you find that there are male and female chromosomes in the seed, then your seed is female.
If you find that your seed is female, then it will turn into a male seed after it matures. but before it matures, it will still be a regular seed. If the seed is male, it will turn into a female seed.
