I'm just saying that if there were a luscious enough area to support infinite females... the plants would have a tendency to become female... because the plant knows it's harder to produce buds and seeds than it is to produce males.... the field doesn't necessarily have a preference... each female would rather take the chance of growing buds to be pollinated nearer by, less well treated male, than to herself make pollin and impregnate the field with genetics it's already saturated with.. Only when the plant is in harsh conditions does it know 1. creating bud will be fruitless really because it's chance of surviving is low... undeveloped seeds. undeveloped buds.. end of heritage line... 2. producing pollin the best way to 'pass on' it's genes.
So with alot of females around.. the plant can't really since that as far as i know... but it can since it's soil and conditions are good- and it should and could do the deed of mothering seeds.
Hermie's also come from unstable breeds correct?
it's plays into the cycle to just further faster cross strains/genetics. a hermie breeds with itself... that hermie seed will turn out to be female (it's feminized) reguardless of it's condition... it's prime to pass it's own 'remix' of genes to itself and to seeds from polinations. at a certian point there is no genetic benefit to passing on your genes to plants around you that are all the same as you... as in a healthy plot(of many plants)... so at this point, once a strain has stablized and has taken over a lucious valley or supreme ravine... it stays un-hermie... pure female... and waits for pollin blown in from some far off forrest of stressed out strains producing hermies or males... at which point it (the field of fems) will hermie from the stress of the new genetics... polinate it self all over... and all those "unstable" crossbress seeds and hermie seeds will disperse. become male.. hermie.. and female... and adjust untill it's producing all females in an enviroment... by a)! adapting to the enviroment b) stablizing the traits of the new genetics with it's own traits.
It's really amazing the function of sexes in plants and how androgynous a plant really may be..
Yeah it all implies that area's with favorable amounts of ethelyene.. thriving areas.. will trigger the plant's natural reaction to these enviroments... i'm sure 'extra' ethelyene will cause the plant stress... it's more hormonal- not nutrient like... i'm the plant itself produces small amounts of it as it healthily develops... as it develops in less favorable conditions i'm sure it's unable to produce as much and internally knows what to do in that scenario...
i think if a weed seed were planted in a barrel of ripening apples it's only chance for 'survival' would be to polinate the air. next to one apple or some healthy flowers on the ground? it's probably OK to make seeds and pods..
YouTube - Wild growing Marijuana
and by field i mean something like this youtube vid of a wild field... I'm betting how many males are amongst the plants is related to how stable the genes of the entire sub-strain are... and a stable strain is bothgenetically uniform across both it's x and y chromoaomes and able to thrive exceptionally well in it's own native enviroment.
