hermie confusion

[deadhead65]

If only female plants get you high and give good bud, and females don't have seeds.............why does my bagweed have seeds in it? Is all bagweed from hermies?


btw i just found a bug in a nub of mine. Before growing I wouldn't even pay two seconds of attention to what I was smoking and now I'm tearin it apart and looking at it with a fine toothed comb.

Most likely the grower had female and male plants together and he didn't go through and pull the males because the crop was too large or whatever the reason is....too large would be a good reason for me. He's selling by weight.....seeds weigh....but if you are a grower.....FREEBIES :)

The plants must have had a male somewhere in the grow. Just carelessnes of the grower. Or as weedhound suggests perhaps he did it on purpose to sell less weed and more seed. I never understood this as it seems to be common. Wouldn't someone who buys the weed be more likely to start their own grow and not buy from the seller anymore?

Op somebody...I believe it was Markass....was telling me he thought some of the brickweed growers (just as an example) enouraged hermies and pollination in their grows if I remember correctly.....smash all those stems and seeds together and they'll weigh for ya.....and with so many seeds some of them would fall to the ground and start growing......saving some time and energy for the next grow.

Hmm, kinda makes sense I guess. For some reason I just assumed growers (brick and otherwise) would try to sell the best product they can to help facilitate the return of customers. Silly, naive me.
