Farmer Freeman Tests

Farmer Freeman EZ-XY Plant DNA Sex Test Kit — identify female (XX) or male (XY) plants as early as 7 days from sprout to maximize yields, save space, and optimize resources across your garden or propagation facility.

Trusted by growers around the world since 2017, Farmer Freeman’s EZ-XY Plant DNA Sex Tests bring you precision genetics in a simple, mail-in format. The test tells you the plant’s sex using our fully equipped DNA lab, so you can make informed decisions before you commit valuable space, substrates, and nutrients to a plant that might not contribute to your harvest.

What you get

• One (1) plant test per kit for XY gene detection
• Comprehensive instructions to guide collection and mailing
• One (1) collection envelope and one (1) coded plant stake
• One (1) Testing Order Form and one (1) Return Envelope
• One (1) smash card (optional for USA; required for international orders)
• Shipping instructions and lab submission details included

How it works

• Plant your seed as you normally would. When your plant has two true leaves, it’s ready for testing.
• Use the collection kit to select your plant and place the coded stake in the plant sample location. Collect a healthy leaf tip or suitable tissue (1 cm to 1 in). Alternatively, use the smash card to transfer DNA by crushing a small piece of plant material into the card.
• Mail the sample to Farmer Freeman’s lab for analysis. Results are emailed typically within 1–2 business days after lab receipt.

Why growers choose EZ-XY tests

• Efficient resource use reduces wasted soils, substrates, water, nutrients, and CO2 on plants that won’t contribute to your harvest.
• Simple, reliable workflow with clear instructions and a mail-in process you can complete at your convenience.
• Global access Smash cards are optional for USA customers but required for all international orders, ensuring DNA transfer accuracy anywhere you grow.
