I took 4 little clones which eventually grew into gorgeous bushes covered in flowers come late summer, and the "mother" that I started with gave me many fragrant buds without any sign of hermies. It should be mentioned too that all the plants were transplanted and moved several times, one of them across the country without any sign of male flowers.

The only time I got hermies was when I was too cheap to buy seeds and used bag seed. Bag seed comes from hermies.
wow, in only 15 posts and (what sounds like) minimal experience you've already alleviated one cannabis "myth". good job man!

that's the point of good genetics. but don't sit here and say all bagseed is from a hermie. that's like trying to guess what strain it is. OG kush was a bagseed at one point and time.
