[quote=daihashi]the pollen comes from the male part of the hermaphrodite plant. There is no female pollen. There is hermaphrodite pollen and Male pollen

You are absolutely right, I refered to it this way since it does not contain any male genes.

Though yes, hermaphrodite pollen will make seeds likely to come out female; but they are also likely to become hermaphrodite also if introduced the seeds are introduced into similiar conditions during flowering that initiated hermaphroditism on the mother.

Not likely to be female, assured to be. Unless there was some mutation earlier in the process. The fact that the prodigy will become hermie just like it's parent if subjected to the same stress, goes without saying...that's what I'd expect.

But it's important to always know in the back of your head that hermaphrodite pollen is hermaphrodite pollen and not 100% female; meaning your seeds stand risk of having both male and female parts.
It's also important to remember, it is difficult to make generalizations about mj since there is wide variation in how the various strains react to various things, such as stress. Add to this the fact that almost all the mj you come in contact with today is a hybredized plant, crosses of various strains and is more likely to do strange "mutant" type things as opposed to landrace strains. You are also correct in your previous responce, you can't change the biology of the plant. If we could we really could exploit the plant. Thanks for keeping me honest, it is good to see you around.
oldmac Reviewed by oldmac on . Colchicine treating I've read from a few sources that crushing Colchicine tablets or extracting the raw colchicine from the winter crocus bulbs and soaking your seeds in it is the most preferred and used method to feminize seeds....anyone have any input as to this method of feminization?
