DP Hermaphrodite? (sounds erotic)

Fickes
Fickesstarted grow question a year ago
My early finisher is dropping seeds now that it's mostly dried out. Coulda sworn I had 3 females but...? I've heard of Hermaphrodite plants; I'm guessing that is what happened. Not sure if it is genetic thing or if certain cultivation practices cause this? Free seeds are good!

Seeds from hermaphrodite plants will carry dominant genes or being hermaphrodites too. Not good unless you are trying to breed a line of hermaphrodite plants! They WILL NOT be feminized. Hermaphrodites are generally the first (genetic) step backwards in reversion to hemp.

I never thought I would say this but you need to listen to Growladyeastmidlands ... she is always in here telling growers their plants are hermies (when usually they aren't) which tells me she's had some very bad experience with hermies... and as a result, knows exactly what to do... So definitely follow her advice... I will now go look in the mirror and see if that was really ME saying that! Good luck!

Shit happens, The seeds are not the best to grow out, I have done this before and one turned fully male from fem og kush auto seeds, HOW idk, but it happened, and the one plant that was male was not a hermi it was 100% male. weird. The risk is passing on hemi genetics every generation and the more it's expressed the more it can show up again with less and less stress from my understanding of it all. Plus you may not know whee the pollen came from. Creepy Steve said all the details below can't really repeat it with out sounding like a broken record. Best Of Luck!

Yes hermies are female plants that develop male, pollen-producing staminate features at some stage in the female flowering process. Many garden plants, fruits and vegetables also show hermaphroditism and so does Cannabis. In a frantic last effort to produce seeds for the following spring, the female cannabis plants may produce pollen. Often this may happen at the very end of the flowering cycle. Even though this maybe too late to turn any of it’s own delicious bud into seed, the hermie produces pollen in the hope that it will find its way to immature female flowers on another plant nearby. Hermies are an occasional natural survival mechanism, one last shake of the evolutionary dice to procreate before death. Hermies can also be encouraged by small stress stimuli in the plants environment. If you do find seeds at harvest and she did produce matured seeds, I highly recommend against trying to grow these hermie seeds, as it's very likely they'll have the same problems as their mother. I would make hashish or cannabis butter from the buds that had seeds in them. This way the seeds do not effect the smoke and buds. Enjoy your harvest!

Honestly you’re like the creepy old theater/drama teacher running around at a 5th grade Sadie Hawkins dance pointing at every girl doing a slow dance yelling “you’re pregnant! You are pregnant! You alllll are pregnant!”

and def listen to growlady... seeds that arise from one parent easily/naturally herming is no good... tht trait can be passed along. now you have more plants that are more likely to herm if you use those seeds. they would be "fem" seeds, technically.... all females from 2 female parents (XX x XX =100% XX seeds)

you would most certainly see a difference between a male and a female, so it was likely a hermie in there... probably a sac or 2 at least. "lone nanners" don't usually produce a ton of pollen and only results in limited pollination.. a sac or two will cause plants to be heavily seeded. always good to look over plants on a regular basis -- looking for nanners, sacs, pests, infection etc... just make it part of a standard operating procedure.. 1/week? when you water? etc...

If you have seeds in the buds from a hermie plant then the seeds will be no good as they will be hermied so throw them away and clean everything before starting again with fresh seeds and any other plants in the area will also be full of seeds I'm afraid
