Hermie breeding. Insight please?

ok if you have a clone and take clones
stress one out take that pollen and use it one the other those are the good seeds
but first you have to make sure the stain your working with is stable

Great to hear that it's possible! Should be a good experiment. I'll be working with my ATF. It came down from the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska via Hells Angels to Seattle Washington, from which a friend in Oregon was eventually gifted the strain. I have many selfed seeds from it that I plan on using. What I cross it with, I don't frankly know yet... I'm just getting legal again, so I'm going to surf the NorCal dispensaries for potent clone only strains.

Light stress as well as extra long flowering times can cause a female who is prone to hermie to hermie.

Light stress as in irregular light intervals.
From what i understand, as a flowering female begins to die after it has grown all the female flowers it can and none have been pollinated, some male flowers will appear. More than likely it will pollenate itself first.

Im sure you know that hermie pollen will create a female seed that may be prone to hermie as well if stressed to.

Yeah, but it's always nice to confirm and discuss. So original ATF clones are prone to hermie I'm guessing from what your saying? Mines Indica dominant with Afghan traits. But are Sativa's or Indica's more prone to hermie out of curiousity? I contacted my friend, he said he made seeds with a couple plants using some stuff called gibrilic acid, anybody have some more info on that? I did some research, and I just found out it's used to make feminised seeds, that's all I know. I've thought selfed is the same thing as using gibrilic acid, am I wrong? Also, as they become an S1 (or what would that be called?), would they be even more prone to hermie, or equally as prone as the clone?

Also I've used twenty or so seeds in the past to find my mother for my last grow, best bud I've had, only have seen a seed or two from my crops if I interrupted the light cycle working in those late nights with a standard light (incandescent bulb). My next room will have green lighting for sure. Now I've continued reading, gibberellic acid I guess doesn't produce feminized seeds? All my seeds have been female. What does that mean?

EDIT
When I said gibberellic acid doesn't produce feminized seeds, I was wrong, I just found controversial info that minute.

Bump. Anybody?

You can most likely stress the plant into hermie - if it does, however, it is not a true female. Pollinating a hermie with either itself or another hermie, will get you all hermie seeds. Though if grown, some may appear female - not have overwhelmingly obvious hermie signs.
