Chopped Off Seed And Made New Female Bud.

[faithlessxxx]

So this is where I chopped off a couple of budding seeds off a hermie a while back, in about their 6th week of 12/12, just to see what would happen.

It appears new buds appear after about 7-10 days, and these ones are female.

Interesting, I thought:

awesome i never knew that ill have to do that if i ever get a hermie

Pretty cool, huh?
I'm guessing that the plant repairs itself with new flowers, and had I been unlucky, a new male would have popped up. But since hermies usually are by far predominantly female, the chances are very good that the repaired bud will be female.

Anyone else have any theories?

p.s. this may have been where I cut off male flowers, but I'm pretty sure it was a couple of 1 week old seeds, that I naturally ate.
Quite tasty d.s.

nice man, good post... maybe hermies aren't just trash... i always get rid of anything with balls

I'd be worried about stressing the plant further with trimming but that didn't seem to happen here so it IS interesting. :thumbsup:

Very neat solution for a small grow where you can actually monitor your plants closely like that.

pretty interesting, but I would suggest it is a rare aberration ... keep us posted, if it happens again ... :smokin:
