Please Tell Me Im Not Seeing This!!!

It looks like a Mrs. Doubtfire to me.

hermies don't produce feminized seeds,when a plant is in its last stages of life and has not been pollinated it produces ONE male flower.if your plant has a LONE male flower in the last stages of budding the pollen from it will produce 100% feminized seeds.this plant is a hermie its not near done and it has mulitpul male flowers.trust me i have experince last summer I kept 3 hermies.the smoke was fine and if u pick the bannanas off as soon as they form u wont find any seeds!

i had mermies, didt look like that, hard to see though

Hermies, but you already know that.

wow so many mixed opinions! lol thats a pretty looking plant and if those really are male flowers i'd be buggin out right now!

looks like delicious buds to me

Sunkissed: i am very dissapointed


still havent made a definitive decision. Im going to wait until they are more pronounced to make 100% sure.


And there is no way im gonna toss it. This plant has some weight to it! Ill pluck the male flowers off and if they become to much, ill isolate it and get some seeds and turn it into some bubblehash or smoke it.

And some rep for a few of you

so what's the word? I just found somevery similar looking things in my buds..

Hi all

Your wrong my friend i have produced hermis by stressing my female's to produce male flowers a another way is colidel silver or Gibberellic acid and 90% of the seeds were female, from what i can see they have at lest 1 more month to go that's all he needs to roduce good female seed, the male flower of a hermi dose not produs a lot of pollen however enough to produes 100 seeds or better

what i said was pretty much a direct quote out of hightimes magazine's issue on sexing,but I've never done it myself.so you may be right.but how do you explain the batch of seeds i have that only grow into hermies?

A few seeds are fine man, just plant them later on. In saying that I wouldnt want a TON of seeds, but a few are acceptable I think.

on topic, well it's is a hermie?

Hey everyone I plucked a few of the culprits off of the plant and put it under a 100X microscope and yes it is a male. I saw the pollen in the flower and it doesnt look completely 'ready' There is more of the male flowers too so she is full blown hermie and not intersexed which i was starting to hope for


I have 2 65 Watt CFL's (65k & 27K) and I bought 4 2700K 23 Watt Bulbs. Do you think this should be enough to produce some decent bud still?

Hi all

Madcow i hope you don't think i am bashing you i am not, i just have had some exp. good results how ever all femalized seed have a higher potential of turning hermi's, hermi's have xx cromazone and reg male have xy, most of the time male bannas on a hermi's dont open early enough to produce mature seeds any too much to wright but here is some thing i fund on a differnt site
so i don't get carpal tunnel, lol

Soma's version of making feminized seeds.
Creating feminized seeds is an art, there are a few different methods of application. I have written about some of my different methods of making seeds in previous HIGH TIMES articles. I have use gibberellic acid, light stress, ph stress, and fertilizer stress to force my plants to make seeds. All these methods are harsh on the plants, and some like the gibbrellic acid, are not organic. In my search for cleaner more earth-friendly ways of working with the cannabis plant, I have found a new way to make feminized seeds.

Feminized seeds occur as a result of stress, other than genetics. All cannabis plants can and will make male flowers under stress. Certain strains like a higher PH, some like a lower one. Some like a lot of food, some like a lot less. There is quite a lot of variety in marijuana genetics, and you can’t treat every plant the same way.

It takes many harvests before you really get to know a particular strain. Just like getting to know human friends, it takes time. I have grown strains for a decade and am truly getting to know every nuance the different plants exhibit. I can recognize them from a distance. I must say that I get a lot of help from my friends, both in making seeds and learning new and better ways of working with this sacred plant.

I named this new method “Rodelization” after a friend who helped me realize and make use of this way of creating female seeds. After growing crop after crop of the same plant in the same conditions, I noticed that if I flowered the plants 10-14 days longer than usual, they would develop male “bananas”. A male banana is a very slight male flower on a female marijuana plant that is formed because of stress. Usually they do not let out any pollen early enough to make seeds, but they sometimes do. They are a built in safety factor so in case of sever conditions, the plant can make sure that the species is furthered.

To me a male banana is quite a beautiful thing. It has the potential of making all female seeds. Many growers out there have male banana phobia. They see one and have heart palpitations, they want to cut down the entire crop or at least take tweezers and pluck the little yellow emerging devices out. I call them “Emergency Devices” because they emerge at times of stress.

In the Rodelization method, the male banana is very valuable. After growing your female plant 10-14 days longer than usual, hang them up to dry, then carefully take them off the drying lines and inspect for bananas. Each and every banana should be removed and placed in a small bag labeled very accurately. These sealed bags can be placed in the fridge for one to two months and still remain potent.

For the second phase you need to already have a crop that’s already 2 ½ weeks into flowering. Take your sealed bag of pollen out of the fridge, and proceed to impregnate your new crop of females. To do this, you must first match the female plant and the pollen from the same strain in the previous crop. Shut down all the fans in the grow room. Then take a very fine paint brush, dip it in the bag of pollen, and paint it on the female flower. Do this to each different strain you have growing together. I have done it with ten different kinds in the same room with great success.

I use the lower flowers to make seeds, leaving the top colas seedless for smoking. This method takes time(two crops), but is completely organic and lets you have great quality smoke at the same time you make your female seeds. If you’re one of those growers that has never grown seeds for fear of not having something good to smoke, you will love this method.

You can also use this pollen to make new female crosses by cross pollinating. The older females with the bananas can be brought into the room with the younger, un-pollinated females when they are three weeks into flowering. Turn all of the circulation fans on high, and the little bits of pollen will proceed to make it around the room. Do this for several days. Six to seven weeks later you will have ripe 100% female seeds; not nearly as many as a male plant would make, but enough to start over somewhere else with the same genetics.

You're not seeing it. Haha. You asked me to tell you

PS: If you can't spell chromosome there's a good chance your full of shit

yup hermie. and no it will not make feminized seeds. To get feminized sides from a female its different. You have to have a confirmed female preferable from a cloned mom. You grow that female and get it to flower like regular then in the last few eeeks about 3 weeks from finish you can do the stress to the plant to try and get it to make male pods.Its best to use a combination technique. Anyways you collect the pollen at this last stage and save it. Now your going to backcross making an F1 plant. You need a clone from the same plant that you used to get the pollen so hopefully you keep it going. You take the pollen from the female you flowered and the next female clone you get to flower you use a paint brush and lightly brush the pollen onto the hairs of the female sister plant no fans unless this is pure lone seed plant. Now continue flowering you will get buds filled with seeds. You now have back crossed F1 feminized seeds. A true hermi plant will make hermie gentics and mostly hermie seed plants

hmmm

this is all bull shit i try to help and some of you start bashing no barrett i am not full of
shit, and for Filthy yes hermi's can produce hermi's, i have don it and got 90% females
there more way of doing this then your out line i did a lot of reading and experimenting
but that's it i will not try to help any more and i refuse to get in a pissing contest.
