Yup, it sucks getting unsuitable genetics. I've got a Shishkaberry that every 6th female plant goes hermie...yet it's sisters finish without incident. I just grow a couple of extra, and cull the transvestites. The strain is good enough to overlook it's deformity, but I only grow it once a year.

I believe exposure to light releases a chemical signal to the plant that it's time to get-up and go to work. Likely the released chemicals screw with the sleeping beauty, who is now expecting a little photosynthesis action, but getting none. Likely this makes her a little confused and grumpy. (stressed to the point of nanners) But I'm not a biologist, and this is the simplest way I can think of to explain the plant's response to light leaks.

Once a lower stress threshold is imprinted on the getetics, likely best to toss the offspring, or sell 'em on a seed auction website like everyone else. <kidding>

Fertilizing provides nutrients, pollinating provides seeds. :thumbsup:
Rusty Trichome Reviewed by Rusty Trichome on . curious about cross genetics. Well I just dealt with some fems that looked strange as the flowering occurred. Kind of stretched out, strange short thin pistils, and almost yellow pods they came from. It was a new species to me, so was not particularly concerned. Well I been sick the last 2-3 weeks with heart trouble and I got lax on looking at the garden. Yesterday I was doing a good look and found bunches of green 'nanners, and a few open ones. UGH! Throws my whole garden all out of wack! Fornicate, fornicate, Rating: 5
