Indica Vs. Sativa

I am leary of hermis. Any hermis I see are destroyed immediately. I use almost only clones. I will use seeds if they are known to have come from totally killer weed.

Rusty trichome outlined a way to create feminized seeds by putting a strain on a female which he says results in fem seeds with no male genes.

Hermi seeds will result in females that turn hermi every time. If not caught in time the crop gets fertilized then stops producing resin and starts to die.

I may buy some seeds from Organicann since that seems the only way to get sensi star, chocolate chunk or chem dawg. But clones seem a lot easier and quicker.

I clone my plants to make them bush out and it totally works. My sour diesel and bubba kush are making piles of clones. I am cramming clones everywhere. I need to start moving things out of my little box today and use a flood light to keep them from flowering. But it is a nice problem to have.

I'll certainly take a peek at Rusty's thread, he's a guru here in my book. Your posting leads me into a question. The hermie plant was located about 20' away from an all female sativa plant last year throughout flowering all the way until first freeze/harvest. The hermie was much more potent than the female sativa. And here's the kicker, the female sativa had zero seeds and no male characteristics. It was OK, but the hermie produced more resin and had that skunk piss smell/taste(in a good way)that I like.

I don't mind a few seeds, most commercial growers do it intentionally for weight. But from what it sounds like, I need to keep these plants separated from each other?. If so, that's an easy problem to solve b/c I use 7 gallon buckets anyways.

Sounds like the hermie is a much better strain than the sativa. I am surprised the sativa did not get seeds. Maybe the male pollen died before the sativa was ready to be pollinated. Anyway when you find the thread with the info from Rusty see if he knows of a way to re feminize the hermie in some way to get back just the female genes.

I used some relative random seeds in my yard last year. None really turned hermie but the quality difference was ridiculous. One of the earliest ones was killer. One of the late ones was too but another late one and one of the others was pretty weak. That is the trouble with seeds besides having to find the males and eliminate them on time.

Any idea where Rusty's thread is located?...nothing came up under feminizing seed search terms.

Sorry for the slow response. I did a quick search and could not find that info under Rustys threads. He may have been replying to somone elses question. He would somehow stress the plant at the end and it would produce the feminized seeds.

I am terrible at finding anything I search for on the net but I still try and occasionally succeed. Good luck.
