Hi guys an gals,
basically, my only female, is now a hermie.
It's only just become truly apparent.
Thinking about it now, I have seen the pollen resting on the plant for well over a week (before any problems if anyone has seen my previous posts)

The "balls" and pollen has been BRIGHT yellow, not green at all, like the other balls I have found on the males.

I'm growing just one plant, could the hermie impregnate itself? Only thing I'm thinking is, wouldn't it make clones or something?
Seeing as the male and female have the same dna, etc etc?

Either way.
IF it is going to create seeds, then fair enough, I have a whole new bunch of skunk no.1 seeds.
I however would prefer to not have seeds, if someone can clear it up for me.
*to be honest, I think the plant hasnt been impregnated, I can see the trichlomes, no apparent signs of anything, not that I would know*

Yep, can impregnate itself.
Im not real good at explaining the rest tho.

Yeah, they can fertilize themselves. The only thing I could think of is try to remove as many pollen sacks if possible without letting them rupture to prevent as much fertilization as possible. Hopefully you can still get some nice buds.

there was only 2 pollen sacks.
After 1 month of flowering, and I spotted them both yesterday.
Of course, I'm checking the plant alot more closely now.

yes the seed will have the hermie trait and it cant be breed out of them so if you continue to grow it make sure that you and only you keep the seed or distroy them. giving them out will not only dick the buyer but hermies are bad for the gene pool and should not be allowed to pollenate other plants
