I had a few go hermie on me late in flowering on my last harvest & i jumped for joy,infact im still grinning from ear to ear over it,the bud,s im smoking right now off those hermies are as good as any sensi weed out there,including the expensive seed bank seeds,thats big talk & i realize that but its how i feel,the smoke is absolutely beautiful plus a got quite a few of the fattest, prettiest rock hard seeds ive ever had in my hands.

Why plants go hermie i couldnt say,i know all the common reasons everybody throws around but im not buying most of the reasons,my money is on genetics & my gut feeling is that for the most part hemaphroditism is out of our control.

Roll with it man,if you get a hermi no big deal,just isolate it from the rest of the group & count your blessings which are kick ass smoke plus free seeds that you know are going to be tasty nuggetts someday.

I just bought a very expensive seed bank order & when they come & after i grow them i hope like hell i get a few hermies,i'll put the seeds away incase something stupid happens & my mothers & clones kick the bucket.

I didn't know so I yanked it. It's already dried. I have about an 1/8 of fluffy buds drying but it's super silver haze with a pre mature harvest so I'm hoping for some crystal clear trichomes and a psychedelic buzz. Next time I'll know better. Thanks for your help.

Crap, another of mine became a hermie. Why do they wait so long to let me know? It's a good thing I inspect my plants closely. Well, at the very least I will have some decent feminized seeds, right?

no, that's not how they make feminized seeds. You will get some males/females from the seeds but a majority of them are likely be hermies too.

But that's what I've read....

So how DO I get feminized seeds, oh wise one?

Can you point me to some evidence to support this statement,my understanding of hermaphroditism is that a seed comming from a hermaphrodite plant has an equal chance of male or female & suffers no predisposition to hermaphrodite traights.

It is very true that Hermie seeds have higher inclinations of also becoming hermie. Out of the few ways to make feminized seeds the only i know of is the use of gibberellins on female to produce male organ further pollination with this pollen creates feminized seeds. This stemming from the fact that the pollen has no Y chromosomes being it is only Female No possibillty of Male. I have no idea if THese fem seeds can or will hermie, any idea on this dilema?

Your talking about gibberelins acid that is diluted and soaked with your seeds can induce more female plants, but I have never done this. I have however have some hermie seeds produce female plants, but i did not have enough to do a study on the % of F/M. And like Pan said if its good bud that gets ya baked youve' done a good job in my eyes.

Ok,we need to get past this,simply saying that seeds from plants gone hermraphodite late in flowering will have a higher chance of producing hermie seed's does not make it a reality,im looking for hard nailed proof of this supposed trait,ive looked high & low & i cant find anything concrete.

What i can find is lots of regular people repeating this over & over ,but ive yet to run across an recognized expert in the feild saying its an expected trait of a seed from a hermraphodite plant.

if a female self pollinates how are you going to get true males that makes no sense theres no male dna involved only female. you would get herms and females only. no true males
