letting them go too long for seeds?

[WeedNerd2.0]

Old thread, but I HAVE to chime in. Genetics are part of this happening. No pollen, no selfing, nothing. I happen to love Ghost Train Haze for this very specific reason. I had a pheno that I just never got around to cutting because I was a noob and wasn't sure if it was done. It was actually my very first grow and, at the time, GTH was the strongest strain on the planet so I wanted it. I didn't have anything nice to run on. A Bestva blurple light, a 32x32 ipower crap tent, no ventilation other than what I could pull of with a normal fan and the flaps. It was in flower for 16 weeks before I finally got it cut. When I cut it, I had hundreds of seeds, but only on the top buds. There was not a single nanner anywhere. I just ran out of those seeds this year and I popped another one in the same old as tent under the same turd light and let it run. Sure enough, a few hundred more seeds. No herms, no males. all almost identical to the very first one. it seems that some sativas are able to do this. I can completely attest to the fact that it does happen. I've gotten ten years of 28%+ bud from this happening. The seeds are completely good. It blew my mind and I'm a huge stoner. lol. If I cut them at 11 weeks, no seeds and great bud. If I let them go, so far, she just seeds herself. I don't get it, but I'll take it because RD GTH seeds are fuckin' pricey mate. (100 bucks a six pack feminised). My advice, if you have an extra stalk to test it out on, go for it. The worst that happens is you get some creeper. lol

Do you get a mix of male and female plants from your seeds, or are they mostly all female? I ask because I read that a plant that self pollinates makes mostly female seed. I’ve had a cindy99 make nanners late in flower outside before but I wasn’t after seed from her so I just harvested.

I get all female from them. This is not self-pollination though. This is letting them stay in bloom for so long that they go into some sort of last ditch effort to reproduce. Now, if you have a plant that you find nanners on; and you have a minimum of 4 weeks before they're ripe, you should get some good female beans. Theoretically, if the female sprouts nuts, there is still not actually a 'y' chromosome present to make male seeds. The opposing argument is that if a female herms, then it will make herm seeds. I have found that if you don't know the genetic, it's a lottery. If you know the genetic and you know that is not prone to herming from stresses then it's a solid candidate to self pollinate. I hope this helps somewhat.

I dont like rodelization as a way to make seeds its too close to breeding with a herm for my liking its very different than making fem seeds with a tested sexually stable female via the sts route that would be a better way imo

The first cross I ever made was from rodelization. All seeds grew female and never had any hermies. That was years ago and I still wish I had that cross.

I do everything these days with STS or regular seeds. I don't have time to wait and hope some nanners pop.

Got some strawberry strain seeds via rodelization. Same story. Pop female and no weirdness. Unintentional but welcome.
