Hi to all!
Today is my harvest day. White widow 10 weeks blooming everything went smooth and nice without any problems. But now I am very confused and even amazed. Some of the very lowest buds have seeds! There haven't been any males of hermies in the growing room ever! I just found this article is it correct? If this thread has been discussed before here I apologize but couldn't find anything. Here is the quotation:Apomixis, or the production of viable seeds without pollination, is the botanical version of what in animals is called parthenocarpy. These seeds are produced from flowers, just as regular seeds are, but no pollen is involved. The plants grown from such seeds are perfect clones of the original plant. Mangosteen, a tropical fruit (see thumbnail at right) produces apomictic seeds within some of the segments of the fruit. The common dandelion (Taraxacum) produces many apomictic seeds as well. What scientists would really like to know, though, is how this ability can be induced or triggered in other plants that do not produce such seeds.
