HERMIE QUESTIONS

[Farmer Dylan]

hey guys im a pretty new grower have a few questions about hermies because i havnt encountered one in the few plants i have grown:
-what exactly is a hermie?
-how do they occur?
-does the plant make bud?

If any1 could answer these questions it would be greatly appreciated

thanks alot,FD

um, you dont have to post it 3 times, anyway you could have asked me in my thread I explained some of it to you. A hermie occurs if the plant is stressed e.g. light during dark periods when flowering and other things that may stress the plant. It makes bud but as i said to you before it seeds itself, so its crap

Herms can be smokable. Males are a no no.
If you have a herm in your garden , remove herm or you risk pollinating what females you do have.
Most imported weed(columbian/mexican, etc etc is herm(buds with seeds)
Stress, genetics, play a big part in the herm population.
Some growers will intentionally cause stress to a female they like so they can collect the seed from that particular strain. If a female is stressed and provides you seeds then more than likely your seeds will be femanized.
If you get seeds through a genetically produced herm, and not a stressed female, then your seed has more to do with genetics then stress and will give you a less predictable seed.

true, they are smokable but not very good smoke, like a seeded female

Although my preference is seedless, weed with some seeds is more than likely better than no weed at all.
At the risk of sounding combative to others with a different opinion(and i'm not......really, im not), i have smoked some herm that was just about as good as any seedless i have smoked.(i live in SF Ca., with some of the best bud on earth). As my luck would have it, i just happened to smoke some good herm that came from good genetical background.
I have also seen seeded weed/herm, that wasnt worth lighting(unles you are dry and see no hope of getting weed in the near future)

i wish all peace and happy times,

I mean it depends, there are types of weed that may have stronger seeded buds than other types that are sensi. for instance, a sensi ruderalis (a species of weed ie not indica or sativa) may well be less strong than a seeded but stronger strain of indica. But in general the rule of thumb is sensi weed is the strongest

[daima]

wow, ruderalis. its been a while since i have heard the mention of that eastern europe strain(Russian to be exact). The strain has come a long way. It grew wild in Russia, but little potency.
Since its introduction to the west we have been able to cross it and enhance its potency some.

Have you ever grown one? do you know any of the strains? Im not planning on growing one but Im just interested
