Funny there was thread about hermies a while back and people kept saying that "you never see males with pistils" and in the past 2 days i have seen 3 on different forums. I told poeple that males most definately could show some hermaphroditism just no one really grows males like they do females, now i have proof.
Anyways,why don't u let it pollinate itself and have all male seeds?

it's such a good looking male, other than that one pistil. i'm really tempted to use it anyway, but i know i'll regret it. if it would spit out a few more hairs it would make killing it so much easier.
gonna go start a few more seeds. i have until sept to find a solid male.

Wait you said that was impossible didn't you? didnt you say that the chomosome had to already be there now you are saying its a genetic mutation Brought on by undesirable conditions meaning the environment the plant is in could play a part upon this plant becoming hermaphrodite. Which one is it?
are you done yet?
i tried to phrase it in a way that would please you. are you trolling now? or just eager to breed some hermies?
i don't want to use hermy pollen in my breeding projects. how hard is that to understand?
i don't get what that means or has to do with anything. you are the one who seems to be confused.
SOME plants carry the hermy gene deeply buried within their DNA. not ALL but some. under extreme conditions these traits will expose themselves. these are NOT desirable traits. i chose not to breed with these plants for fear of producing more hermies.
wtf does that have to do with an ego?

fdd i did not say your plant was a hermie or wasnt a hermie. i am a science major in college and have had extensive biology training and i have grown to love genetics and DNA.
mutations can happen in any cell. IT IS A MUTATION. ok if that doesnt make fem seeds then i will say i am wrong. you probably have more knowledge in that subject
but as in the matter of genetics and DNA, i believe i am right. you can make a hermie out of any plant, and they arent started with an XXY unless bred that way.

also the way you get that Y in a males XY is part of the X mutates and breaks off. not made that way. believe it or not we all start as female as an embryo.
i am getting my info here ======> http://www.amazon.com/Cannabis-Breeders-Bible-Definitive-Marijuana/dp/1931160279
if i have a plant that is showing BOTH sexes, i do NOT want to use it to breed with. that is all i am trying to get across. sorry i'm not a college major. you would think with my simplicity it would that much easier to understand.

haha ya i wasnt trying to say you didnt have a hermie or anything, just that hermie is one of those thing that occurs by mutation. plant can have recessive and dominant genes to hermie, but dont need them to be able to hermie ect. i know you know way more than i do in the subject of growing the MJ, just thought id share some of my knowledge in biology.
people be breeding hermies to get femmed seeds. it kills me to watch .
especially when they don't show up until week 6 of flowering.

the man has got a point here...... some plants will carry a hermi gene that will show in extream growing or not proper growing conditons.... while others "true hermies" will show there bannanas in any growing condition no matter how perfect of imperfect.....
has breeders we try to stay away from hermies......... for the most part... unless its real potent and worth it in the long run to breed that hermi trait out of it wich will take time
and some plants won't show it at all.

Damn fdd I'm jealous of you back yard, well your ability to just be able to grow freely like that. I got such a huge rich garden but am stuck to growing in 5 gal buckets and keep them hidden to so they don't receive as much light as they could.
I got to say the hermies have been what kept me away of getting femmed seed, the attitude offer was to good to pass I'm curious to see how these femmed seeds go. I am growing them separately just in case. What has confused me with femmed seeds is for example White Russian(Serious) is a Male White Widow X Female Ak47. How do they do about making female White Russian. Take a female White Widow and hermie it?

when your right your right. that would fit under the catagory of stabilized... but there is more criteria to meet then just that to be considerd fully stabilized...
and you want to get me started? lol

Backtard Lmfao! So can we get back to the growing yet? This season over here has been perfect weather wise, seems like it's really picked up for you guys on the other coast as well. Any strain really outperforming another? The mendocino madness I'm growing is real similar in growth to the hijack last year, F-ing fast and thick, hope it finishes up a bit sooner though.
