@ sunbiz1; "straight non-hermie" seeds, I believe you're talking abt "regular seeds" the product of a male plant and a female plant. A 60% female ratio is good and what should be expected.

As to "straight seeds from a hermie", well they ain't straight they be a product of a female plant self-pollination. Therefore the seeds are all female (no male plant was involved so no male genes are present to pass on). How stable it will be is dependent on why it went hermie.

@ Rudy; sorry to be so hard on you, but FRs original post just said they hermied bad, not what caused it. He verified that it was poor genetics so the pollen is suspect to pass that trait along. He's experienced enough to know the difference btw. And as I told FR, the plant next to it has a 50/50 chance of having that trait passed to it. You just can't jump to the conclusion it was bad genetics without more infomatiom.

9 outa 10 times when a plant hermies it is the product of enviromental conditions, ie light or chem poisining. A lot of new growers will say "Oh poor genetics" when in fact it got caused for a reason. It seems as breeders cut corners to get strains to market this ratio (9/10) may increase, but the usual scenerio is enviro.

Again, sorry about being so hard on you intially about this. It's just that there are alot of misconceptions about how bad a hermie and it's pollen is.
