herms!

i was wondering If you could " nip in the bud" so to speak the male pollen sacks from a herm? and leave the female buds! and i'm talking about nip'n them off in there very early stages and if you could use the pollen from that herm on a good female, and get more good bud? or would it herm out again?
any ideas? :D

Well if your thinking on useing that pollen to fertalise a good female then the pollen must be off a god heri. Yes?
If so why don,t you let it/ her/ him fertalise it,s self.

Disc.......

thats a good point! but I have a realy nice female, and the herm is amazingly strong , healthy and fast growing, I was just thinking if I could combine the two and end up with something better! :D

Your aphrodite may well be strong and fast growing, but those are in of themselves characteristics of the plant, as is its hermie state. It seems highly unlikely that it is a cause and effect relationship. In otherwords, I can't imagine how pollinating a healthy strain with this defect could help it. Certainly not to produce more buds this round and can only make the next gen defective too. Buds that are pollinated spend a great deal of energy on seed production and thus make smaller buds that are less potent. The hormones at each stage govern the plants purpose. When seeding you are not getting the max bud hormones.

As for saving the hermie for this rounds possible production. Risky, but not uncommon. Of course you run the gamble of pollinating other nearby females, both in sack removal and with the late developing or missed sacks (there are always some.) I have tried this personally when I had this genetic blight. I did keep from spreading the pollen to others, but missed and late sacks caused the bottom of the plant to be exceedingly seedy. After that, I axed that girl and she'll never be found again around these parts.

Good Luck Friend :cool:
