Good luck! Hope they stay that way.
Rhodelization is a made up, cannatalk grow technique, originating from Dutch breeding. (Soma I believe)
But guess what. It also says out there it doesn't work for all female plants <<< That should be enough to tell you something's wrong with the breeding technique.
A true female, aka "dioecious" female will never herm on their own. Can't be done.
A true female can't seed itself on it's own. Can't be done.
On the topic of plant gender, a plant which expresses both flowers on the same plant, is monoecious.
Not Dioecious.
Meaning not female. It's intersex.
I'm not trying to burst anyone's bubble. Just pointing something out.
Hell, I've got a cutting currently, which came from bagseed and hermed late stage.
But I think it's important to know what they are. And what they're not.
If you were to perpetually "rhodelize" your plants and produce seed, over and over, without a male, how is that not intersex?
How isn't rhodelization describing an intersex scenario?
What makes those plants which rhodelize female if they can self seed?
Where's the male?
They'll tell you it's a natural survival mechanism and the plant when stressed will herm to preserve itself and set seed.
Reality is it's a numbers game.
In a population there will be both dioecious and monoecious plants.
I've only witnessed a few "true hermaphrodite" plants. Meaning separate male and female flowers on the same plant.
But I've grown lots of plants that have "hermed" and thrown a few balls or bananas.
They're not Dioecious and shouldn't be regarded as female.
