What would you do?

chems, og's, cookies... they all herm. BUT, they are cuts, not seed lines, so it's understandable making seeds with any of those cuts is going to show herm tendencies.

Seed lines should be worked to minimize hermies (you can cull the hermies, but not rid the genetics 100% of them).

This isn't a seed line though. It's an F1. A hermie-prone F1 apparently that isn't contributing anything new to the world of cannabis. Kill the herms, and move on.

it's not difficult to google and learn/research if it matters to someone, I enjoy researching others issues who don't want to search for themselves.. my apologies for trying to help?..lol

Orange Poison - OJB x Durban Poison bred by Obsoul33t Genetics (possibly a collab)..
Durban has been known to herm, if you search you can see it seems to be a strain that more than a few growers run into this issue. To me that would also include crosses including it. I also found at least one site that says you need to watch this plant as it grows..

I would just grab some Durban x's from @hotrodharley and trash these herms. Best of luck regardless what you do

Thanks for all that insight Alpha. Both breeders are out of business probably for good reason. Why would I need Harley's stuff when I have 16 week REAL DURBAN POISON IN THE REFRIGERATOR?

What I raise should actually be called Rhodesian Poison and that’s what AK Bean Brains does call it. It came from Rhodesia in 1979. The original Durban from South Africa was known to hermie badly. This strain was turned over to Dutch Passion for them to stabilize. How they did it is unknown to me. They still carry it. The strain I keep is not known to hermie although it’s possible with any strain eh?

Mine is in use by multiple growers here because it’s stable and generally pops more females than males. It’s popular for crossing with other strains and I’ve crossed it with several. Multiple RIU users have run the Durban as well as the crosses and I’ve yet to receive a complaint or report about any hermies. But again hermies are possible with any strain. It’s part of how it survives in the wild.

The guy I got these from actually grew it. I saw the pictures; he is local. He said he saw no hermies in this batch.

Like I said hermaphroditism is a cannabis trait. Sometimes genetics while other times it’s often stress induced. LA Confidential is one I stopped growing because it had a tendency to hermie.
