Do hermi traits follow pollen?
oldmac Thanks for the info on hermi plants. I am relatively new (3 years) to growing large plants outdoors with my license but have grown a quite a few from time to time over the years.
I was always careful to keep my seeds only from buds that had just one or two seeds per ounce. Usually these seeds were female. I would give them to my friend and he kept using old hermi seeds because the weed was "good enough". His hermis kept crossing with the plants from the seeds I gave him and the off spring always produced more hermis. Also the quality gradually but steadily degraded. Two years ago I finally got him to plant some afghan goo clones and none of his seeds. Now he thinks he is the greatest grower in the world and afghan goo is the greatest weed ever. He made butter and hash out of his old hermi stash and tossed his polluted seeds.
I know a few commercial growers who also trash hermis in any way shape or form. They will kill all the plants and destroy them immediately. They will sterilize the soil (I don't know how they do this). Then won't grow in that area for a couple of years.
You can see why from my experience I believed hermis were all bad.
So it was good to see from the information you mentioned in your post to see that having a hermi is not the end of the world for that plant. I know you are thorough in your research from other posts that you have made.
How late is too late to use the DM to reverse the hermaphroditism.
