I planned a grow that was just for seed production. Purchased regular landrace seeds from very reputable source. (The exact strain is unknown.) Everything went as planned. I managed to sprout a female and make two clones who would serve as the seed-mamas. I recognized the male early by his structure, but decided to test it. Put it on a 12/12 cycle for a couple days. The tell-tale crab claws at the nodes were enough. I put him back into 24 to keep growing until “everyone” was ready. He made several flowers and pollinated all over himself a few times. Then, one day I noticed some odd growth at the canopy and what looked like pistils! I used a paintbrush and pollinated the pistils. The bugger has about 15 fat seeds growing in between his male flowers now. I have proceeded with my seed production and all is going as planned with the females.
Q: Am I wasting time and resources on a project that’s going to give me hermie seeds?
Q: Could the female parts have emerged because I stressed him with the 12/12 light trick?
Any experience or knowledge about what to expect would be greatly appreciated.
