I kept a male for pollen,

[Frazz]

Yea this is a Shiva Skunk male that i kept to make some homebrand seeds , but now ive found 2 pollen sacs with a single pistal protruding from sac (see photo) ... its the 1st time i seen this ona male , but i should add that the plant has been kept in the bathroom and gets 12hrs of fluro light and an interupted 12hrs dark , so maybe this showing of an odd pistal has been induced by stress ??

 

 

now what im wondering is if i use pollen from this male plant will it contain the hermie gene .. what do you reckon ??

yeah i cant say ive ever noticed that before...

 

not really sure.. if it will carry the hermie gene... im guessing all plants carry it.. its just if there will be more hermies than males or females..

 

so i guess youll have to just use it and find out...

thats a hermie alright but if there are only a few flowers like that on the male plant i would remove them and use the remaining flowers to make the pollen to reduce the chance of passing on the hermie genes

From what ive read thats exactly how you get seeds that are mostly female , the article i read was in hightimes mag and they were dutch growers who were convinced that crossing hermi male polen with pure females creates mostly female seed ??
