Hermie pollinated female plant. Seeds?

One of my plants turned hermie and I noticed that two other plants are showing brown calyxes at only 4 weeks flowering. That's a sign that it was pollinated. I cut the hermie but couldn't avoid her pollinating two of my plants. Will I get hermie seeds from these two pollinated plants? I was wondering if I could use the seeds. It's a white strawberry skunk from greenhouse that went hermie and pollinated a black domina. It would be a killer cross, but I don't know if I will get more hermies from these seeds. Does anyone know? sry for english ^^

the offspring should be just as likely to hermie as the parent was. and what ever may have caused the parent to hermie, ie, if it was stress or w/e, will more than likely also cause the offspring to show hermie traits..

Not actually true. there have been a couple people on here document growing hermie seeds. About 25% will herm.

Ive got a couple landrace sativa strains that always throw a few nanners on lower buds.



Do you know what caused the hermie?

i'll admit to dabbling in hermie seeds
mom was strong hermie
the kids have been a 50/50
either very solid females or obvious hermies
which did appear quick, so no worse than a male if yanked

Im not sure what caused it, im so frustrated. I have done three grows so far and got hermies in all three of them. The first one I got nanners on two plants out of nine. Only a few seeds here and there.

The second one it was genetics. I tried erdpurt from ace seeds and this plant is used to grow outdoors, but the other strains didn't hermie. 3 out of 9 nine plants (the three erdpurt) hermied.

Now in this grow I got two out of nine plants hermie, different strains. Plants were a bit overfed at first, nothing too bad I guess. No water stress as far as I know. No light leaks, pitch black at night. Left the plants 15 days in small pots until I trasplanted, that caused some nutrient deficiency that was fixed relatively fast. I really read a lot about hermies and maybe it is the temperature. Im spanish so it can get pretty hot here, temps got to 86-90 fahrenheit easily. It's autumm now and I get a steady 80 fahrenheit now.

Hermie plant:

Using supersoil with this one. Looks a bit overfeed but nothing too bad?

All of them:

AS you can see plants look good but I keep getting hermies no matter what. The only thing that I can think caused this is temperature. Maybe you can shed some light? Any help would be appreciated guys. After all the hard work finding hermies is infuriating :p

my own experience with one line - a brainwreck
in my case, pure genetics, breeder site showed some hermied grows, was an honest breeder
from what i've read, the aracata trainwreck(used to make the BW) can be unstable in crosses

Take your plants out and sit inside the ten and close it. Look for light leaks coming in. It should be dark. you should be able to see light leaks easy.

That's a lot of hermies.

Every time I order a new strain I research grow logs on it from different websites to see if it is herm prone. Its how I avoid them.

Some are so sensitive that the smallest thing herms them. Some are so stable that light leaks wont even cause it.

That one looks like a straight male. Did you get regular seeds?
Feminized seeds. That's a white strawberry skunk from greenhouse seeds (strain hunters). It is supposed to be a good and stable strain... but it hermied that bad.

I know it looks like a male but it has buds on top, trust me.

I will try to see if there are any light leaks but I doubt it. The room is pretty dark and then I have my tent closed. I'll sit inside tomorrow, maybe im missing something.

I germinate in biobizz light mix, trasplant at 15 days to definitive pots with supersoil. I water until draining water from the bottom. PH is 6-7. I don't know :I

Temperatures are a bit high, or maybe im just having really bad luck. But I feel like I just have no skills when growing weed, I have failed three straight grows, always keep getting hermies.

I've heard a lot of bad things about greenhouse (strainhunters).

I think its shitty how strain hunters does anyways. They go into a place to find landrace seeds then trades new hybrids to the people knowing damn well it will ruin their genepool.

Would you be better selecting a strain that is more resistant to the heat and an easy grow rather than looking for a supposed stable strain or high yeilder.
