how bad are a few bananas (intersexed) really?!

okay everyone who doesn't know what intersexed means, it means when a female plant starts producing male parts, not sacs (bunches of bananas) like you would see on a male or hermie plant, but strictly single bananas.
Ok, thanks for clearing that up streets, didnt mean to sound like a mong, shouldve done my own reading.
 
not true, from experience the seeds i got for this strain came from a bag of lavender kush, the seeds were S1 (self pollenated) and i got 3 males and 1 female, which turned out intersexed...

Male is XY and female is XX. If a female pollinates itself there is no Y present therefore it is not possible to make XY, only XX. Some of those females have an ultra high chance of being hermie though. This process is similar to the one that they use to make feminized seeds. The only difference is that breeders collect the pollen from a hermie plant and not the seeds. They then take the female pollen and pollenate another female plant with it. They do this multiple times in order to stabalize the genetics and reduce the possibility of more hermies. Once the hermie chance is as low as it's going to get they sell the seeds as femanized.

exactly, but ive read that one way of doing it is to let her flower like 10-14 days longer and that how some nannas are made, and femd seeds after she pollinates herself (so ive read, dont quote me on this lol)

I'm not so sure of the time table, but cannabis will do this as a last ditch effort to pass on her linage.
She's a survivor, what ever it takes.
 
forgot to mention i sprayed dutch master penetrator and reverse on her last night ive had HUGE success with this before, but going thru further inspection i noticed bananas DEEP into the colas, practically unreachable

right on yea i wasnt quite sure on the time table either, i think ima research this some more and experiment with it toward the end of this grow...

Yes, that's correct. The point of pollinating other female plants with the female pollen is to open up the gene pool. Dealing with inbred plants - inbred anything for that matter - is asking for trouble somewhere down the line.
 
another owner of a plant that went hermie, in my case it was a strong hermie
i let it grow out and kept the seeds, what the hell
so i've grown out 2 of those seeds, one(my current grow) had the hermie trait just like mom/dad
the other seed didn't have a trace, pure female, such are the mysteries of MJ
