Why would you want hermie seeds?
I have always had good results with seeds that come from hermi plants. not that I have a TON of experience, but I am 7/8 females from seeds from hermi's. and all 7 turned out BOMB. Back in the day I had heard that that there was a better chance of female from hermi... that was years ago... but I know it has proven 7/8 times for me as true... so... I am going with what works. Not like I will be growing them any time soon either... but it's cool that I can get pure OG Kush genetics without paying for them. Probably won't see those grown by me for another year or so...

All hermie beans are not hermies
they will however be fem's. sometimes plant's aren't stressed to hermie. they do it for survival. it happens alot with these Og's, the will her late flower usually un noticed, and youll have like 7 seeds per oz of bud. this is by my accounts though.
my corleone in veg is from a herm seed. so i'll see if it herms. i had 3 seeds in the whole plant. the mom was a reg seed not femmed so it wasnt that . bt we'll see

I guess it depends on the strain, when the plant hermed in flower, early or late... a whole lot of factors...

I just would rather not deal with them..

I have had cuts that would herm very late in flower... like week 7. Stopped growing them,

I just dont like having unknown pollen floating around... Considering when I NEED to know what is pollinating what :)

i'm with you there guys. i had a plant that went hermie on me that was delicious, powerful smelling bag seed weed which turned out to have that diesel fuel smell. anyway, i grew it out for the seeds cause hey why not, i always heard hermies had great smoke and i really didn't mind all those free seeds since i'm gonna throw them outside this spring. we called her Lady Gaga and i am smoking her right now.
just talked to mrs and they are gonna keep her all week-end. kinda sad but i have the house to myself LOL which doesn't happen often :peace:

Kinda fucked you would grow a bunch of hermie prone plants outside...

Not very fair to anybody else growing in your surrounding area..
???i live in the middle of no where, no one around for miles and miles and miles :peace: i don't think i am the only one on this planet doing this but then again maybe i am???

Outside or inside... i'd grow them. like I said... in my experience, 7/8 seeds from a hermi were female, 1 did hermi... and i scrapped that one, because i wasn't trying to fertilize my whole crop.

dude... if you are out in the middle of nowhere... do it up... fuck what anyone else thinks. You don't have neighbors to worry about... why worry? keep em downwind from YOUR fem grow tho... just in case.

I wouldn't grow a hermi plant in my setup... but i will plant a seed that came from a hermi, because of the high chance of the seed being female. How many breeders out there hermi their plants for seeds? Anyone more experienced that can get in on the discussion?

When breeders make feminized seeds, they force a true female to grow male flowers so that they can use the pollen for making feminized seeds.

When a female hermies on its own due to genetics, the offspring will either be female or hermie. With a higher chance for hermie plants.

That is why feminized seeds have that same risk of turning transgender.

As far as growing the seeds outside, hey if you live in the middle of nowhere go for it.

Just know that pollen can travel for miles...

Im not trying to start an argument, just giving my opinion...

Nor am i telling you what to do, just stating what I do, or would do...

So fem'd seeds have the same risk of turning transgender... what exactly is the difference then? JUST WANT TO CLARIFY, I AM NOT FLAMING... JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND...

the one that wasnt a fem was 99% herm . if you flowered it it prob wouldve shown pistils.
