Hermi Prevention?

[Cpappa27]

So I had this idea about hermi plants and the reason a cannabis plant goes hermi to begin with. To make a long story short a female plant will grow male pollen sacks, when flowering conditions are not good or because of stress caused by various factors etc. , as a last ditch effort to reproduce and make seeds faster instead of waiting for a male because she thinks shes going to die.

So my thought was what if you pollinate just one or two tiny lower buds with regular male pollen will that stop the female from trying to hermi later in the grow? Im sure there are some sort of hormones released in the plant, so when it gets pollinated it knows so now its not worried about making seeds and reproducing because the job is done and shes currently "pregnant". I wonder if this has been mentioned before but I wasnt able to find anything on it.

You can't outsmart nature. Herm is a herm and belongs in the trash IMO.

You should try this experiment and let us know.

I will try it just out of curiosity.

Are you talking about true herms, late flower nanners or stress induced nanners? All of them are kinda different thing imo

The general reason a plant herms is to speed up the process and make seeds on her own instead of waiting for a male because the plant believes its going to die for whatever reason that is. Perhaps in nature the herm trait is actually a positive evolutionary trait. Either way my theory is that if you pollinate every one of the female cannabis plants in the grow on just a bud or two on the very lower branches about 2 to 3 weeks or so into flower, would that somehow prevent the plant from herming later in the grow (assuming that it was to herm) because the seeds are being made and the plant maybe knows it received pollen so that stress response to herm and make seeds in the event of a stressful event should one arise is suppressed? Kinda like a pregnant woman cant get preganant again while shes pregnant, thank god for that .

Plus no one knows which plant is going to hermi so in my test I would pollinate lets say all 6 female plants as soon as theres buds, then put them through some stress with light leaks, drought, etc. and see if any of them herm. This wouldn't really mean that my theory is true because noone can tell which plant is going to herm so I guess itll be true until its not as long as it works. Itll probably be a flop and they will all grow plantains

I believe you are a litlle bit confused. Roderalization, hermaphroditism and nannering. Three completely different things.

Thanks Ill have to do more reading on this subject I guess. Eh stoner ideas, you know how it goes haha. This skunk #1 always gets me thinking.

 

[Ed Rosestale]

Or do you just want to believe that controled polination on few lower branches gonna protect the plant against nannering when being abused and stressed?

Thats in short what Im trying to say yes. Ill have to look more into those three different types of herms that you mentioned above.

How nice the world would be heh? I got your point.
