Hermi seeds?

I have a set of six plants from bag seed and they all are showing buds after switching to flower. I was told that all the seeds might just be predestined to be hermi. Is that a thing?

That is a thing, but most the time you get hermies from stressing the plant. A hermie is a plant that has female and male parts. Basically they fuck themselves giving you seeds in your bud

Yes.
A self pollinated plant will produce about 80% herm seeds (voice of experience), whereas a plant pollinated by a herm will give you fem seeds.

I don't see stress as being a factor here, because stress wouldn't make a plant female, so there's no reason why all would be female, plus they have shown no signs of stress and I have introduced no factors that would cause stress. Oh well. Whatever the case I have no choice but to take it all the way through.

Correct, but stress can make a female grow out male flowers.

Yea I'm not sure if they're actually hermi quite yet. I just found it pretty impossible for all six to be female from bag seed

Maybe I'm not seeing it right but these look female. Let me know if any kind of don't look female. There's only five cause I already killed one off to make room.

Them fem seeds are a lot of time unstable. So it dosen't take much stress to throw bananas. I always use Hermed seeds outdoors cause a little pollen is no big deal out there. Inside totally a deferent story. I haven't grown a male plant outdoors in over 10 years.

They are simply not herms and all fem as a fem plant that threw a nanna in the original grow making your resultant all fem seeds.

A lot of bagseed is all fem as it simply came from fem grows, reg seeds not as popular thesedays.

Theres a lot of bad info here and what is read by lots of new bees - keep an open mind
