Hermaphroditic male

Well damn, JerzeeAmbeez, You've had plants that has shown sex signs of opposite sex on one plant at the same time? So what kind of seeds are you getting? I would assume you would have a decent amount of each sex since u can not tell wether it was a male or female first before hermi.....No sex is more dominant than the other cuz A female needs a male and vice versa...for some reason i think when a plant shows both sex at once then your seeds will be more of a hermi!? My opinion

As for Deeb, if your into "crossing" strains and producing more male plants then you should keep your ManHermi LOL....It might come in handy in the future...

Good Luck with whatever you do afterwards

Thank you all for you input, I think I'm gonna get rid of this male, don't want to take a chance on having malenized beans.:rastasmoke:

a herm female is typically releasing pollen with (i believe) either female or no genetics. this is how it makes female-only seeds (no y-chromosome in the mix)

however, if a male hermies, wouldnt it work the opposite and make guaranteed males???

either way, pop the sacks and grow it as a female!

ummm...I'm guessing this is not the optimum idea, unless you really don't intend on growing for smokable stuff. It's genetics are questionable at best, so offspring from theese plants will likely have the same problems.

Also, males do not produce enough smoke to mess with. They don't bud. That's why everyone is so intent on putting the effort in determining females early. Following this path may have long-term ramifications to this grow, and future grows from those 'new' seeds. May end up fighting a losing battle for quite some time.

The smoke you got those seeds from may have been good, but perhaps it's time to try seeds from another source. (IMHO)

Pollen from a male hermaphrodite then will logically give the same m/f ratio as a normal male when crossed with a female:

XX x XY will give XX or XY and the ratios expressed will be 'normal'.

wait, that doesnt make sence by your reasoning.

it would be XY x XY, which could make XX, XY, or YY....

...which leads to the question: what happens if YY? dud?

Re-read my post. " Pollen from a male hermaphrodite then will logically give the same m/f ratio as a normal male when crossed with a female:"

KB sez: "a herm female is typically releasing pollen with (i believe) either female or no genetics. this is how it makes female-only seeds (no y-chromosome in the mix)

It's got genetics, just no Y.

Nope, a male STILL carries the X chromosome. A male is XY; that logic would only follow if it were YY.

either way, pop the sacks and grow it as a female!

It's not a female. It will never BE a female. It's a male with pistils. Popping sacks releases pollen... so unless you want your next crop to risk contamination by crap herm genetics, just toss the plant. Which I think you've already done.
