what are my chances.

[fuckit]

i got about 30 seeds from a ''pure og kush'' plant that had gone hermi,my question is,,,what are my chances of any of these seeds being famale? thanks for your time fellas.

I have heard that seeds you get from a hermie will most likely produce more hermies. I had a Dutch Passion blueberry go hermie and I to start some of the seeds for the hell of it. Not one of them sprouted, so I cant tell you much more than that. I just wouldnt get my hopes up too high. Only one way to know for sure, and that is to try and grow them.

I heard conflicting things about this, on one hand I heard that a hermie makes feminized seeds. However through my research I came to the comclusion that txhomegrown is right that people say they dont sprout. And that would make sense to me if you think about it. But for sure jsut try and germinate a whole shit load of them!!!!! Good luck lets us know what happens...................

hermies carnt fert themself, if u had two they could fert each other or just another male, seeds would be no different to other seeds off normal plant

 

[fuckit]

well so far i have i germd 8 seeds and they all sprouted,some real small ,and some look nice and healthy....so ill def keep you all updated on what happens....thanks again..

I'm pretty sure they dont sprout because they didnt grow to maturity. Hermies can and do fert themselves. That's the point. It produces it's own pollen with the same set of genes to make sure it produces SOME offspring, even if it is inbred. Shows how strong the will to reproduce is in nature.

In general hermie seeds will make female plants. I've heard they have a higher rate of hermies and I attribute that to the genes of the plant itself (its genetics make it easier to hermie, which is why it did it in the first place). Think of the seeds as clones in a neat little package.

 

[txhomegrown]

Daisy pretty well hit the nail on the head. From what I have read about making feminized seeds. They take a female plant and stress it so that it goes hermie. Then they let the plant polinate itself and the result are fem seeds. That is a very simplified version, but it gives you the idea. But I read further that a strain that is genetically prone to hermie has a greater chance of producing either hermie or otherwise useless seeds than a more stable strain.

whatever turned you first plant hermie will likely turn your new ones hermie a lot easier........ like if it was light stress that herm'd the first one, it'll take even less light strees to herm its seeds.

Very interesting !

p.s - love the avatar lolz

There is some confusion on the issue, allow me to clarify:

To answer your original question, growing seeds that you took from that hermaphrodite will result in hermie offspring. The pollin came from and pollinated the same plant. It's a genetic defect that you just bred back into the mother...a stressed mother. So you most certainly can bet most if not all of those seeds will be herms.

The correct way to make a feminized seed involves TWO healthy females. You induce hermaphordism on one of the females using a foliar feed of silver nitrate, the stuff they use to 'make rain'. You collect that pollin and use it on the OTHER healthy, stress free, female. When you feminize a good F1 hybrid, those seeds will be less likely (not 100%) to turn herm.

Don't even waste your time with those sprouts, if you do, you're going to wish you've listened to me, it's messy when the whole crop herms on you, very depressing.

I knew I was leaving out something important. Thanks!

well fuck....now im really dissapointed...well ....thanks for saving me from all the trouble and money i would have put into them,,bless this site...lol..thanks again fellow riu's ...

Punk is right, hermies produce hermie seeds. The occasional good seed found in quality sinsemilla marijuanas are produced when an otherwise female plant, coming to the end of its reproductive cycle will throw off only a few male flowers in an attempt to fertilize itself. These flowers go unnoticed as this is not a true hermie plant, but a female desperately trying to reproduce. Seeds obtained in this way are not prone to hermaphroditism as the plant that produced them remained essentially female. I agree with Punk that if you grow them they will hermie.
