How do you know when your male plant is mature? Will a male plant that hermied only produce hermie seeds?
Lol...you're right. I'm pushin 30 and my kids have to fight me for the ps2 controller:argue:. Seriously though, I have some female(plants...lol) that are 33 days into flower. I want to sex them but don't know if my males are going to mature fast enough to do so. Does anyone know the signs of a mature male plant? Btw, my male hermied and started sprouting hairs. Will he only produce hermies now?!?SmokinMom said:(males never mature...wait you're talking plants...oops!)
Feminised seeds come from forcing a female to hermie then sexing it with itself. The resulting seeds will be female.Runbyhemp said:As far as I know the hermie will produce both male and female seeds.
I think that's how you get feminised seeds, you cross a hermie mother with one of it's children and the resulting seeds will give you about 90% females.
As to when the male is ready to pollinate, I do not know, I have always killed my males before they reach that stage.

A lot of people think we have created hermaphrodites, but we take 100% female clones, and apply a safe chemical so the clones produce abundant male flowers. Then we take that pollen and fertilize other females with it. Seeds from this method will usually grow out female.
To produce female seeds, selected clones are needed. Under standard conditions these female clones do not produce any male flowers. With the method they discovered, cuttings can produce male flowers and pollen. The pollen thus produced is used for the production of our feminised seeds.
Genetically, a cannabis plant is more or less predisposed to become male or female. This is regulated by 2 chromosomes everyone knows as the X and Y chromosomes. A plant with 2 XX chromosomes becomes female. A plant with an X and Y turns into a male. Plants have hormones that regulate it's functioning, of which gender is one of those functions. The hormone balance is genetically determined, and partly influenced by environmental factors. An example is when plant roots get damaged. The roots will produce a substance that in turn slows down leaf growth. The result is male flowers. When discussing hormone balance you get FEMALE SEED: a female is a plant with XX or only female chromosomes.
When you have a seed with just X chromosomes, you are certain this seed will grow into a plant that is genetically female. To achieve the XX only plant: a female plant is forced by a hormone called Gibberellic Acid to produce male flowers, the pollen created contains only X chromosomes, when you offer this pollen to another female plant you can be absolutely certain to get seeds which are 100% XX. Once again this seed is called FEMALE SEED. Gibberellic Acid can be found in online. It takes years for an individual to achieve the proper plant hormone manipulation to get 100% female XX seed. Supplies therefore fluctuate and there are many different strains available worldwide.
LOL...i'm just getting to where I can keep my plants all alive. I think that title(Old Pro) would go to Stoney Bud...he knows his stuff. I just spend alot of time learning new stuff.Flyinghigh said:Bombbudpuffa I figure u been a Old Pro at this LOL just the way u talk !!
Have A Green Bud day !

From my understanding, yes. You'd need to stress a female, with gibberelic acid or light changes, and herm it and collect the pollen from the herm and sex another female. The science behind this is the seed only gets female dna. I've never tried it though so i'm not positive.shuggy4105 said:are you saying that you only need a hermaphrodite to create feminised seed?
that don`t sound right to me....
