Hermi pollinating my girls in veg

[Rusty Trichome]

I want to turn one of my girls into a hermi and I was wondering if my girls in veg would also get pollinated (24/0) from a hermi plant in flower mode

Unless you know what you are doing, it isn't recommended. You can accidentally pollinate everything. Not necessarily a newbie technique. Re-vegging is simple, and I've seen a few threads about it around...

lose the hermaphrodite idea ... despite the 'female seeds' theory, you wind up with a strain that is hermaphrodite-prone, and in my opinion, 'genetic garbage' :wtf: ... the only secret to growing is 'patience' ... my advice: grow your seeds out, select the best resulting female, then clone from her ... (and, yes, your other plants will be pollinated (infected?) with the inferior pollen) ... good luck :jointsmile:

I've been femming seeds for over 5 years. In that time, I've done so with pretty damn good results. Out of the hundreds and hundreds of femmed seeds I've grown, I've gotten maybe, MAYBE 2 mutants.

Have you ever femmed seeds?

As with most things in nature, plants have a back-up plan. Since they are annuals, cannabis must reproduce in one season, because in the wild, they die in the winter. If the female plant hasn't been pollinated, she get's nervous, and takes matters into her own hands, throwing-out pollen, as a last-ditch effort to continue the species. This is a survival trait in virtually all cannabis plants. (not too sure about auto-flower strains, but have no experience with those) Every seed you grow, has the potential to utilize this survival technique. Does this make every seed a hermie? Are all your strains "garbage"? Mine aren't.
Likely is bad technique or handling of the femmed plant, but I stand by the technique. (as do many seed breeders, the Dutch...)

I can understand someone being reluctant to try new techniques, but not sure why that person would pass gossip off as fact, when indeed, it's not? The idea behind this arena, is to broaden our knowledge, not spreading the gossip.
