Feminized Does Not Mean GMO

[justicebzwieg]

Calling feminized seeds genetically modified is a mistake I still see in nearly every beginner thread. Nothing foreign is added to the plant, the breeder only pushes a female to make pollen, and that pollen can carry nothing but an X chromosome. The biology part of https://queenfeminizedseeds.com explains this at the chromosome level, comparing the roughly fifty fifty split of regular seed with the near all female result. Potency and growth habit are not changed by the process, so the only real difference is the missing males.
