lol what you just described...having both sexes to pollinate itself..that IS asexual..or hermaphroditeism depends on whether or not they all do it in that species naturally or not....ps idk if hermaphroditeism is a word but sounded good enough :D

Hermaphroditeism is having both sexs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermaphrodite Asexual is having neither.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asexual_reproduction Also worms aren't a sexual. http://www.ehow.com/how-does_4567221_earthworms-reproduce.html, http://www.worm-farming.com/worm-life-cycle.html. They have sex with another worm. They just don't care which is the female and which is the male because they have both sexes.

The words aren't interchangeable. Wow never new high school biology classes would come in handy some years later on a cannabis grow site lol.

thats funny you say that because i learned worms ARE asexual IN high school bio class....i can link things too...first paragraph under charachteristics http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worm ... now here under sexual orientation first paragraph or two denotes that an asexual being is not genderless http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asexuality ...your right that worms can reproduce sexually but they can do so asexually as well...my bad, having both sexes is hermaphroditeism whether or not it happens in all subjects of a species...

Single celled and microorganisms is all I can think of. You're confusing sexual orientation with biological structure. That article says, "in its broadest sense, is the lack of sexual attraction to others[SUP][4][/SUP][SUP][5][/SUP][SUP][6][/SUP] or the lack of interest in sex." This has nothing to do with what genitals an organism has. You said it yourself(although we were both right) worms procreate asexually sometimes in that they do not need a male or female in order to reproduce. They do it all themselves. I think we've officially derailed the thread lol, good job!

haha ya that happens sometimes...it also said though that worms with a sexual orientation can still produce asexually so therefore asexual beings are not beings with lack of gender...ill be honest idr my point anymore.. lmao :D smoke another one

No I will not just grow a male and pollinate a female, that will give me regular beans... I want fem beans... Colloidal Silver is NOT UNNATURAL it consists of hormones that cause certain plants to do different things, for instance a cabbage stock is only 1-2 feet, also the same with lettuce, but if you apple colloidal silver to these plants they grow around 10-13 feet!

In the case of marijuana it causes the plants to show male flowers in low doses, female flowers in high dosages, and in even higher dosages it will cause the plant to stop growing 100%

alligators and crocodiles are laid without a predetermined sex. Temperatures above or below a certain temperature produce either males or females. Their sex is in no way predetermined

anyone who thinks u can impact the outcome of the sex of a plant is wrong...think of it this way...genes are in the seed before its a plant, it is a male or a female right then and there it doesnt BECOME male or female.....so stressing the plant is just going to give you a crappier plant and make it hard to tell which male is the one to use...what you need to do is grow the reg beans to the best of your ability and YOU WILL get a male, thats life. pop 5 and u will get at least one male, most likely ofcourse, but you want to grow em all the best you can so you can see which is the strong good male to use in breeding

yet the DNA of the egg when it's laid, is the same as when it's hatched with a sex. why can't it be that a plant in a vegetative state is like an egg in incubation. given a certain set of factors a sex is determined.

answer 1 - wouldnt it be more like the sex is predetermined in the bean ie bean is to egg as veg state is to adolescents?? now show me an animal that has no dtermined sex as an adolescent.....and answer 2 - because it just cant! :D

because you're giving mammalian characteristics to a plant. which its not. you can take a cutting from a female plant. stress it. get a herm. take a clone of that herm and get a female, OR male plant. but it's still the same genetics.

ddue just read the whole thread i already had this argument....a hermie is not a male!! and wtf are you talking about lmao you cant clone a female plant and get a male!!! and who cares if the genes are the same you made no valid point about finding a being with no predetermined sex..closest you came was alligator but i dashed your hopes like a santa with some coal!!! loljp

you can take male cones off of hermaphroditic plants. you just have to try and isolate an area that is more male.

it may come out either way of course, or hermaphroditic itself. but i think that in itself has something to say. Altho, i will concede this. IF you were able to give sex to a plant by nutrition or other means, then any grower COULD make all his/her plants female. WHICH is obviously NOT the case.
