if i had 10 plants and for some reason one of them turned hermi and pollinated the rest, would the seeds from the 9 pollinated plants be regular plain seeds?
are you saying that out of one hundred seeds there might be a few good ones? that is a lot of heartache. just what is considered a hermie? my last grow every plant had at least one hundred seeds. thats a hermie. what if there are only two or three? i get that a lot.
What duck is saying is,,the plants were seeded by the hermaphrodite. SO ,,,,,all the seeds will be trash.
I believe it is sound insight. When a plant is pollenated by a hermy plant it now has a greater chance of hermying itself as it has been bred into it. I personally do not want any plant in my grows that hermies with stress. The chances of getting through an indoor grow with no stress inducers is very slim. There are great stable strains out there. I have grown for over 4 decades and I can say that hermies are a fairly recent development in cannabis cultivation and I believe that it is related to making of fem seeds. Used to be you never saw hermies regardless of the stress.
some of the best pot I ever smoked will hermie on you....... even know some who keep the seeds she throws......... there are at least 4 peeps here holding the cut now....... at least 2 here have seeds from it......... it's not easy to grow....... but when you get her right....... there's not much out there better period........ so yes hermies are generally considered bad....... there are exceptions.
Isnt Mother Nature wonderful....yehaaaaaaaaaa
