I had to ask some old friends of mine.. finally here it is... has to write down as much I learns.. and did my best... here go nothing....
IME...for far long time I have seen 2 different of hermies...now I have learn something..
If you do see the hermie with no buds.. just lot of pollen sacs shapes of banana like showing off big bananas around..its might be good idea to ditch it and destroy it (burn it)its probably a male too.. but if it's little buds but too much of banana pollens (big type kind banana shaped) I'm sure its male genetics and is a hermie too so ditch it.. less percents chance to product more chance of female genetics..
but If you do see buds big pretty buds but you found pollen sacs so... yes its hermie!!!
but its female hermie.. it look like small bananas at where buds is..you will see banana cones around the buds... yeppie its hermie!! I would encourage yall to keep one hermie.. put it outside let it flower for long time... and yes visit it sometime like its not your plant...pluck some of banana sacs usually when I see the female hermie.. they have small pollen sacs and is in the postion where is in the way of where buds is cuddle with... I wish I can find the pic in google... but google knew nothing so.. wait till I get one female hermie I will post the pic... I did't think google would know it as seed breeders does exist...
or I don't know the exact name narrow of what pollen sacks is on male or female of hermie.
now you move back and look at that plant.. yes has buds...oh female genetics.. now you have pollen sacs in that female gentic plant, collects the sacs that is not open which is good conditon for unstress feminized plants!! natural way!.. just collect it all as you can but do please ditch the rest that is open sacs... less risk IMO...
you want that female hermie plant to grow more nice sacs for later.. for good reason.. and name that strain too.. put all pollen sacs in the plastic bag and save it in the refridge sometime when I check the pollens it does last 1 to 2 months.. depends how you keep the refidge clean!!! or colder... the better IMO..
when you want to cross/mate the females or mothers you want to quit clones them..
after 2 to 3 weeks of flowering.. do not harvest the females just yet.. use the clean paint bush and dip in the pollen bag you saved.. bushing it on the flowers/buds of females do it much as you can... after it's done.. . btw turn the fan off (all fan off!!) while pollening these to the buds... now still 12/12 for
5 to 7 more weeks okay..turn the fan back on!! for remian of period of flowering..you will notice more seeds popping these nice seeds is femmized.. some people says its 100%... well I would like to say 97.8%
that it.. now I have uncovered the serect of femmized seeds its 68% to 70% as just like any seed banks would gurattee... not 90% nor 100% I promise!!!
at least you got LOT of femmized seeds (not small sized seeds after 8 week flowering)
those new pretty seeds.. sort it out... now you can have crop of all mothers you want..
