in my experience i have gotten more females out of a hermied seed but most of those females were hermies themselves.......:twocents:

I personally would rather order the original seeds and make clones. DNA genetics of the hermie seeds will be very unstable

From Ed Rosenthal's Marijuana Success Indoors Vol. 2: (page 52) The flowers had only female chromosomes, so all their progeny (seeds) will be female.

(page 50) .....A breeder may be inadvertantly be selecting for hermaphroditism (using hermied seeds)..but this will not be apparent for the first few generations. Increased hermaphroditism may appear after 4 to 6 generations of all female crosses.

From LolaGal: What I get from this is plant your seeds. They should be fine. You won't see any males. Ed sez this is impossible. I read somewhere in this volume that Ed's opinion was that if the plant hermied early in it's life the seed would be more hermie prone. If the old gal threw a few nanners late in life....mostly girls.

Hope my vast library has been helpful. Good Luck & have fun.

Now is best time to order due to Christmas mails I read. Try our sponser RhinoSeeds or SeedBoutique (search SeedBoutique). National Geographic special said England was going to crack down on seeds etc. Jan. 1 Since you are already there take advantage and buy now! Buy everything you lucky dog!

No personal experience on selection but others seem to think the best strains include the White family (White Widow, White Rhino etc.), Northern Lights #5, Haze, Skunk #1.

These are the breeds that most varieties descend from.

If I lived in England I would try some Bubblegum variety, California Orange Bud, Cinderella, ooh the list goes on and on. White Rhino.

Blueberry is supposed to be great from what I read. Wish I had some Do some searches and there are lots of opinions out there.

if i were to buy Blueberry seeds i would get them from DJshort......any other good breedes would be Mr.Nice(shantibaba), Dr. Atomic, DJ short, Serious Seeds....only my two cents though
