Where did you get your seeds?
A female plant will always be a female plant, and clones from it will always be female.
Your females got pollinated by a hermie, so there's a good chance they will also herm.
Plant genetics do not change. Once a hermie, always a hermie.
If they produced male flower because of light stress, theres a good chance under normal conditions they will not.
It's hard to get a plant with stable genetics to herm. That's why breeders use colloidal silver instead of irregular light schedules.
Even fairly stable genetics will herm if the light gets left on for maybe a week or 2. There is a difference between unstable genetics and stress induced self preservation
no! Herms are caused by either genetics or stress. A female produces male flowers but is genetically still female. Those flowers contain pollen with only female genetics. That pollen spreads, thereby pollinating any other female plant it touches. 1 male flower could pollinate an entire room. The resulting seeds having only female genes will be genetically female. If the genetics are not stable, a female that expressed male traits is likely to continue doing so. There is a chance that if the male flowers are only as result of the light stress, that female could produce a herm free cycle. You wont know till you try but you need to decide if its worth it.
Thank you for the break down I needed that. I will look out spades in veg.
Thanks. Yes i will pull the hermie. 3 out of 7 hermed The main herm is the best performer, smells the most exotic, short and chunky. Looks like big bud if you have ever seen it grown. So I dont know if they are genetic or stress. No male flowers ever grew back. I missed 1 which grew and exploded in one 1 and pollinated all but 2 plants so far. all Bodhi, Dr. Krippling, Karma Genetic strains. Going into the 7th week, and tested some bud and its very good. So I will keep the seeds and play with those in the basement. I will regen and keep in veg until i can can see any potential for herms. Then cut the herms. Take clones then flower. Hopefully that will get me back on track.
Awesome. I wonder if the autoflower seeds will be auto flower. I always put the autos on 12/12 did about the same as the others
They will be semiautomatics. Meaning you can get them to veg if you do really long hours of light, like 20/4 or something like that. They will auto flower when put outside or in light hours like 18/6. Some folks have got some really good "early" strains breeding with autos.
