Seeds from my feminized plant?

My RQS photoperiod Mimosa that I just harvested is full of seeds? Would stress cause this to happen? Does it mean there is pollen in my grow tent? Are the seeds going to produce Mimosas (I presume not photoperiod)?.

GD doesn't allow for followup replies so I'll post a reply to my own post. I've never had a problem with RQS and I think the issue was my plant stretching too much and hitting the light. I grow it in a very tight indoor space and have never had a male plant. I flipped it a bit late, so during the stretch it was too near the light, freaked out, and-- I'm guessing-- hermied. I also aggressively LST'd it during flowering because it was so near the light . I got a decent harvest (90gr dry/one plant). The buds are tight-- though not as tight as previous Mimosa harvests-- and now that I'm vaping it, I'm finding that some buds don't have seeds (I haven't separated my harvest by branch or location on the plant-- all buds are mixed together in the curing bag). I think it is a bit weaker than past Mimosa grows though. I misspoke in my original post and meant 'I presume not feminized' not 'I presume not photoperiod' but according to 00110001001001111O's reply there's a good chance they are feminized! Judging by the responses, I'm hoping my seeds will be feminized because it self-pollenated and while the chance of the offspring being hermies is higher than a RQS bought seed, I don't think it is very high because I believe it hermied due to stress and not genetics. In any case, I'm going to end up with a lot of seeds of my favorite variety and may try a SOG and 12/12 from germination to see how it goes. Thanks for your input. 😚

Ja, aus deinen Samen werden weibliche photoperiodische Pflanzen wachsen. Es ist jedoch sehr wahrscheinlich, dass sie zwittrig sind.

Stres does not cause seeds, only pollen causes seeds.................you can't make yourself pregnant just by thinking about it! They will be photoperiod seeds, inbred and with a genetic dominance for being hermies.................they will not be fiminized! I would strongly advise against growing them..............inbred seeds can be a real mix of bad genes.

You had pollen contamination.. if it was the only plant, it likely popped some pollen sacs. selfed and female x female is always female offspring.. it will not manifest a Y chromosome. Still a photoperiod, too. The problem is if the plant has any predilection to herming, that trait can be passed down, and you have elevated risk of herms in the offspring. It's not a guarantee, just an elevated probability. Gorilla Glue #4's origin story comes from a hermie plant that selfed itself, for example. unless you somehow tracked in non-hermie pollen from outside, the seeds are best to throw out. Certainly don't depend on them if you feel curious enough to grow them. if extreme and unusual stress caused the herm, that's a different context... that used to be a common way of making 'fem' seeds... "Rodelization" - can google it. That's not necessarily a 'herm trait' like the context described above. Seeds from this sort of context can be perfectly good options. If your plant was relatively healthy, i would not assume this was the case.

Doubtful.. and even if they do, they won't be as potent as the original. The seeds could be a result of when you switched to 12/12. Light stress during this period can cause that..

I stopped using RQS for that very reason. Have had several of their strains hermie on me. Weak genetics imo. The other place i have been getting seeds from have not hermied. Yes stress will cause this. Yes there will be pollen and a good wipe down of the tent/area with wet rag will help that. Dont forget fans and light. But its good practice to clean the area after each grow any way. Most of hermies i believe came from light stress and weak genetics. Although, if the seeds are brown and ripe, you can grow them. From a hermied plant all seeds have been female photos from my experience. (So yes female Mimosa photo for you) Others will not agree on using them. They can take on the hermie trait from the mother plant. I have over 300 seeds from a RQS runtz that hermied on me. Ive grown a few grows with the seeds. They can be finicky. But I have successfully used several and did not have them hermie (adjusted the lighting was the only difference i made, hence why i think light was part of my cause). You get some mutants from time to time, but its free seeds. When I go to use them, if I wanna grow 4 plants, I drop 8 seeds and take the 4 best that sprout. I have a lot and didnt pay for them, so I dont feel bad throwing 4 out. If its full of tiny white seeds, that sucks! They suck to dig out and taste terrible if you miss some. Cant grow them, they are immature seeds. Imo that's good for nothing. I guess you can make hash or wax from the buds. I havent tried that yet so not sure on that. Just my thoughts, Best of Luck! Happy Growing!

I grew many houses here, but only RQS gave me hermie. They still have great strains, but beeing so big and having so often hermies , made me to give promise , that i will never grow them again. You are not alone and it could be not your mistake.

Boa tarde, se fosse ao ar livre eu poderia dizer que foi alguma polinização mas em estufa é muito difícil... ou seja, é resultado de stress, aconselho a limpar bem a tenda antes de voltar a colocar outras plantas, pois o pólen masculino costuma ser persistente. Pode plantas essas sementes mas por experiencia própria podem sair machos ou femeas ou hermafroditas.

If you see signs that your plant hermied You can feel pretty confident that the plant selfd, if not could have brought in pollen from outside. Usually herm situation if you keep a sterile space but impossible to know for sure. Yea stress can cause that, also genetics can.
