Last July I was gifted 7 female clones, strain Grapefruit Barb. I decided to do outdoor in pots. They did ok. After harvest, dry and curing, I was told the quality of the bud was 'mid' by several of my friends so I used most of it for making edibles. I got about 40 seeds from the 7 plants. They were all female so I asked the guy who gave me the clones about how I could get seeds from all female plants and he said it was probably "rogue pollen". I was also surprised that from 7 plants, there were only 40 seeds! So this year I planted 7 of those seeds and only three ended up being female. I dumped the 4 boys! Has anyone had good luck with the quality of bud from seeds that were from female plants and it being good? What are your thoughts on the 'rogue pollen' thing?

It depends on the genetics used in the cross and then the phenos that you select.
The cuts didn't throw nanners or all the seeds would have been female so the pollen came from somewhere else.

All seeds come from female plants so, yeah, I’ve had some incredible successes over the last 55 years of growing.

I’d wager you had a nanner or two in your grow go unnoticed.

They wouldn't make male seeds.

People are stupid. They don't know what they are growing.
Every year another newbie is born and grows a male plant not knowing what it is.
Rouge pollen happens outdoors more than one would think.
I do know that there is an old school topical remedy done in the Mexican community where you take cannabis leaves and soak in 70% or higher isopropyl alcohol so maybe someone in the area keeps male plants because for this application male/female doesn't matter. I actually gave my boys to our landscaper (who lives about 20 miles away)! He makes the alcohol rub.

Good catch, that makes sense. Rouge pollen it is.

That's true if the plant producing pollen only produced what people refer to as nanners. If the plant produced a complete set of balls like a male plant does then it's possible that some of the seeds would be male.
In this illustration the nanners would more than likely be female plants. However the likelihood of those plants developing male inflorescences is going to be higher than that of a female from a straight male/female pollination. Pollen from the male balls is going to likely be a 50/50 mix of female to male plants.
You have female plants that will shoot nanners and that pollen typically leads to feminized seeds. You also have female plants that will develop scrotums here and there that are very hard to spot at times. That pollen can lead to either male or female plants.

Yea, so in this case it was specified "nanner".That's true if the plant producing pollen only produced what people refer to as nanners. If the plant produced a complete set of balls like a male plant does then it's possible that some of the seeds would be male.

…gotta protect the tiny bit of street cred I’ve been building up.

The OP said they had 7 plants. They were asking about rogue pollen. I don't know where the pollen came from.
I was just identifying the different inflorescence that can produce pollen and what I've experienced from growing seeds made from that pollen.

Cool, not sure why you responded to me then. The comment I was responding too was specifically about nanners.
Someone ^^said that if the seeds came from a plant w nanners, they would not have produced any male seeds. In my case, 4 of the 7 seeds I planted (from the said plants that had rogue pollen) were male! Is a nanner from a plant that went hermie? I'm new to growing so I'm learning as I go.

I'm the one who said that. Your plant didn't make nanners, your seeds would have been feminized if they were.
Thank you! off topic question,,,so are nanners produced on hermaphrodite plants then?

No, some cuts/strains can be more prone to it. I believe it's either from stress or a survival mechanism.

You would think so, but you'd be surprised how many people grow male plants and have no idea it's a male.
