Can I germinate a seed straight from the plant?

I went to my caregivers the today and she gave me some seeds right off her Medicine Man plant that went male unnoticed and fucked itself. are these seeds viable? and if so, can i germinate them right away or do they need some chill time?

once a female plant produces male flowers and pollinates itself its reproducing its own genetics its what is called selfed , a hermi plant with hemi seed

Well I think I may have gotten some seeds from a plant that it did pollinate as well. Regardless the reason I am asking is because I tried to germ these seeds for 4 days and got nothing.

Even though I did say I went to my caregivers today haha. Basically I went to her house 5 days ago and got the seeds and germed them immediately and got nothing. They were brown with stripes/veins whatever they are. They looked healthy to me. I duno.

I heard you should let them sit for 3-4 months but I have no idea if that is true or not.

lol I love the common misconception that all hermie seeds are fem. It's not as hard to make real fem seeds as everyone thinks. It is actually pretty simple.

ahhhh if you did a little research it's quite easy. I might make a Fem seed guide to put the rumors to rest.

1. Take a fully mature indica female, two months into budding and let her bud for another 2-4 weeks past her prime.
2. Out of stress of not being pollinated she will try to pollinate herself.
3. She will create female pollen sacks called bananas.
4. Harvest these bananas when they are fully developed.
5. Use the pollen from these bananas to pollinate a female plant that is two weeks into flower.
6. wait another month and a half.
7. Harvest fem seeds and they are 90% fem and 10 percent male.
8. Enjoy an easier grow season. lol

Technically they are hermie seeds because they are part male but its only a small percentage.

Another problem with these seeds is after one grow they should not be used to breed again. The seeds produced by a these fem plants will have even more male characteristics each time they are used to rebreed.

So its a bad idea to use them over and over.

Did I answer your questions?

So can the bannanas be used on a different strain or does it have to be the same strain? I've heard about using chemicals but just letting it go past regular harvest seems much easier. +rep

i should say the hermi trait is carried on when the female selfs , the seeds are copies of the mother

That depends on a lot of things. If the female turned hermie with no stress, then it was a genetic hermaphrodite. That pollen would be bad to use because the plant was a hermaphrodite due to its genetics (aka destined to be hermaphrodite from seed). If you caused some type of stress to an unseeded plant to cause it to produce male pollen, that pollen is good to use because you caused the plant to make it. Marijuana plants have a built in safety mechanism that causes them to produce pollen in a last ditch effort if they're not pollenated, so every plant will turn hermaphrodite if left past its peak and it is unseeded. That is not a bad trait to breed into seeds.

The pollen can be used on any female you have. That's how they can make fem autoflowers.

Your referring to colloidal silver, I prefer to do it the natural way less messy.
