smj81 Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 Yep the seedling turned out to be a Hermie ..But like the other one it's more female than male..Probably about 80/20 female to male ratio so fuck all on it ..Just like the other one I'll pick it all off and keep it going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smj81 Posted February 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 I know Hermies get a bad rap these days with easy access to seed banks and feminized seeds but, if a Hermie pollinates itself the seeds will be 90% female yeah? But still carry the genetic trait to Hermie all of a sudden ..And if a Hermie pollinates a pure female then those seeds are feminized seeds yeah ?

Sir PsychoHashy Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Hermaphrodites that turn naturally instead of as a result of stress have the trait in their genetics, so you'll get mostly hermies in any offspring, whether selfed or crossed. The fem seed you are referring to allegedly comes from when a fem plant is allowed to go well into late flowering and starts producing nanas in a last ditch attempt to create seeds, that's supposed to be an old school trick that gets 70-90% fem seeds. Or alternatively, force a fem with colloidal silver, tireas mist etc, and use the pollen created for making fem seeds. As for hermies, if you've no other plants around, grow them out and make hash or oil. It's not as potent as seedless buds will make, but it's way better than nothing. But if you've got any other plants around, ditch them or they will pollenate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Bootlace Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 yep. Hermies make hermies (mostly), sorry. I forget where seeds came from...? might help determine if it is genetic or from stress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smj81 Posted February 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 I've been told it's genetic ..Cheers for the info guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiritup420 Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 I know Hermies get a bad rap these days with easy access to seed banks and feminized seeds but, if a Hermie pollinates itself the seeds will be 90% female yeah? But still carry the genetic trait to Hermie all of a sudden ..And if a Hermie pollinates a pure female then those seeds are feminized seeds yeah ?Hermie self pollination can cause all Male seed too. Or Male hermie perhaps.. Had an outdoor girl seed up last year. Grew 12 seeds and all 12 started flowering as male before i killed them. If it pollinates a a female next to it the seeds are meant to be all female. But as stated, the hermie gene doesn't go away. I have grown all female from bag seed though, It's like hashy said. A late stress flower pollinates a separate female and you can get decent female seed but self pollination won't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticky-IckySeeds Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 They have female plant hormones now on the market I use them as a preventive just in case at the flip, I use a brand called la femme and also have one called gender bender which is used with a wetting agent, it's great to use the female hormones or strains that have a reputation of turning hermie.

smj81 Posted February 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Im just going to let the new Hermie go to seed and see how they turn out..I can't be fucked picking this one apart as the heads going to be full of seed from the way it looks already. I still have one female left so hopefully that doesn't turn as well and the first Hermie is budding up nicely with no new sacks showing in the last couple weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
