Outdoor Growing Results And Cannabinoid Testing

Math Quiz:

If you start with 1 male cannabis plant and 1 female Cannabis plant and allow them to have sex you create 100 new seeds from that single plant.

If you have 4 grow seasons per year ( 3 months) and each female plant produces 100 seeds with 50 females.... how long does it take before you have 1 Billion Cannabis plants?

LMFAO! Really? @offgridlife Hahaha...let me go take a big dab, chase that with a crowned bowl, followed by some terpene juice and I'll throw in a couple of hot knives just for fun...

Bastard! Do you know that I have an obsessive-compulsive mind, that's driven hard by managing details?
Hahahaha!
I'll get back to you...fuck!

Sorry about all that...l I have an answer posted on my blog.

Ok, these kinds of compounding equations drive me nuts. I actually don't think that I have enough information to calculate this accurately.
The unknown factor is whether the males count as viable plants too.
If I'm only considering females, I'd say that it would take at least 50,000 years.

Nope.... Try 1.2Years...

You'd be looking at 1 female creating 50-female seeds every 3-months ...

1,000,000,000 = 1x50^n where n = number of seasons.

After n = 5 seasons, you'd have ~9.75Million seeds;
After n = 6 seasons, you'd have ~15.63Billion seeds;

when n = 5.29 seasons (if you could have partial seasons) -- you'd hit ~1Billion seeds.

If you can go from seed to flower in 12 weeks (3months) you’d have 4 growing Seasons in one year.... so 5 growing Seasons =1.2years

I am going to try this with my Ruderalis Hybrids. I will send you a few Billion seeds in 1.5 years.

Lol! I wish you success in your hybridization. Saving genetics and making new ones is so important.

"If you have 4 grow seasons per year ( 3 months) and each female plant produces 100 seeds with 50 females.... how long does it take before you have 1 Billion Cannabis plants?"

50 females producing 100 seeds each = 5,000 per grow
5,000 seeds X 4 grows per year = 20,000 seeds per year
20,000 seeds X 50,000 years = 1,000,000,000 seeds
Rebecca is correct.

Nope.

You are forgetting that the 1st set of seeds after 3 months also grow 50 seeds in 3 months...

The Growth formula is Exponential.... it’s like compounding interest... seeds upon seeds upon seeds.

It adds up very fast.

You have one statement

"If you start with 1 male cannabis plant and 1 female Cannabis plant and allow them to have sex you create 100 new seeds from that single plant."

and one question.

"If you have 4 grow seasons per year ( 3 months) and each female plant produces 100 seeds with 50 females.... how long does it take before you have 1 Billion Cannabis plants?"

She answered the question correctly. It adds up to 50,000 years if you follow the question as stated.

Yeah... i should say that you continue to let the males and females have sex.
