I made some Incest seeds...

By mistake. I crossed the mother plant Sativa Bagseed, good potentcy with a Indica (history unknown).

From the same mother I rooted some clones, one survived to reveg and I used the pollen from a male (indica dominant) SATICA (mom's seeds).

What kinda plants do you think these clone seeds will make? In real life the kids don't have much chance.

Dear Granny Banger, (sorry, couldn't resist)

You will probably get great weed out of it. If you were to let your plants flower way too long, as if it were out in the wild with nobody there to harvest it, it would grow what we refer to as "banana's". The female produces pollen sacs and self-polinate the plant (and any others in the area). It guarantees survival of the species, and it also makes for feminized seeds! Cool huh?

Dear potpimp,

Ok, who are you? You must know me, Tommy, my best friend 40+yrs ago, gave me that nick name,(for a good reason too) it stuck until i moved to Calgary in 72. The only other way you'ld know that would be you guessed or you looked up my drug forum (i used my grannybanger nickname for my handle). If you do know me, hello, how you been?

As for growing hermis on purpose, that would be interesting, but my last hermis had nil thc. Do hermis have or keep the thc genetic normally?

Nah, it was just a "gimme". I tend to see humor in most everything; keeps me sane. I'm not an expert by any stretch, and especially when it comes to hermies, but I would guess that the THC content would be constant, but I could be wrong. Out of hundreds of plants that I've grown I've never had the first hermie.

You want to collect the pollen from the hermie and use it to pollinate different females that were not hermies or you will have a much greater chance of ending up with more hermies.

Regardless of using silver colloidal or Rodelization (the Soma method you mentioned by letting females grow past harvest until they produce bananas) you use the pollen to pollinate different females.

The females that made banabas were abused, they were stressed, and the way to minimize more hermies in the future is to pollinate another crop of females that were not stressed or abused.

Thanks BT, glad you stepped in on this. I've never had a hermie, out of hundreds of plants, so I'm just parroting what I've heard and sounded reasonable.

In my early years of growing a hermie was an extremely rare thing to have, and if someone had one it was almost always sterile, as I have read about and seen called a natural hermaphrodite in a few books and articles. But at the time, in my area, there was nothing else to grow other than landrace strains, and always sativas, using bagseed. The genetics we grew were as stable as the Rock of Gibraltar.

It wasn't until crosses that hermies began to be somewhat common. By the time crosses had become true mutts, strains made up of a large number of different genetics, crosses that came from crossing crosses that came from crossing other crosses that came from crossing other crosses, hermies became rather common, especially when the strains are inexpensive strains from talentless breeders that really at best should be called seed makers and not breeders.

Today there are some truly talented quality breeders and there are a good number of seed makers. Comparing the two is like comparing Vincent van Gogh or Leonardo da Vinci and a house painter.

Good to see you back Brick Top.
