No, females need males to produce seeds. However, I have
of some hermaphrodites that can pollinate themselves.

He either had males or one of his females turned hermaphrodite. If you only have females then you will not have any seeds. Period. If the mother doesnt get pollinated the it will be seedless pot. And thats what we all want. Except those lowrider guys. lol.

lol do you think i should just use dirt instead of hydrophonic?

i really like your growing thread you made its awsome.

where do you get your seeds?
ive been lookin at dr.chronic

what strain should i get?
ive been lookin at chronic, it yeilds 350-600g which is awsome. is theyre a bigger plant then that and it smells good.

srry for all the Qs

Well to be honest I dont buy any seeds. I have built up a nice network of growers in all my years of growing. And we trade clones. I did how ever just recieved my seeds from writing my grow guide.

I used to grow chronic and it was the lowest grade out of blue berry, white widow and, and, shit I cant remember. lol. Anyways It was a good high that gave me some energy and I could work on it. But I got rid of the strain cause it just wasnt what I was looking for.

Sorry I missed your question.

If you can buy everything you need for the ponics then I would do that. If your thinking about half assing it and money is an issue then I would just do soil.

I read someone mentioned hermaphrodite plants. I have one hermo in my group. Not that he/she is being made fun of for any reason, but I'm wondering if I can pick it now before it gets a chance to impollenate my other girls, and smoke the buds it made? Do the pollen sacks in the buds make you sick or anything? Should I pick those off? I've heard they still make strong buds, it's just the pollenate issue that makes you need to get them out of there.

If u have Hermies near other female plants i can give u my sugestion....KILL THE HERMIE ASAP....

Yes, got it - I have the hermie cut & hung up to dry in a remote part of the house as to not infect the other females, waiting for a response to this question: Can I cut the nice-looking buds off and smoke those? They have the nice white-orange hairs, and are actually fairly large, but they also have the pollen sacks as well, hence the hermie. So, can I still smoke those, or just ditch the hermie altogether? Seems like a waste of good bud, but I don't want to get sick or anything.
