From the original question Farmer Rich wrote in this thread he has a plant that turned hermi for no particular reason. All he asked about was the if pollen will create hermis and it definitely will. Stressing a plant to create feminized seeds does not appear to be what happened here. He probably has a plant that has hermi genetics.
It is great that someone mentioned the DM as an alternate solution to hand picking the balls off. How late in the growth cycle can the DM be used. When you see the balls, after the balls open or even later?
Yes hermi plants will be female to start with. If not treated with DM or tended to carefully they will turn hermi. The plant will pollinate itself stop producing resin and will start to die. The original plant and any other plants pollinated by the hermi pollen will have hermi seeds as well.
The seeds will be hermi but for some folks that is not problem.
rudy2010 Reviewed by rudy2010 on . Do hermi traits follow pollen? Hey all, Long time no post! Here's my delima.. I had a fem Amnesia Haze go hermi (severely) and it pollinated a femmed Super Lemon Haze. Needless to say, I have a bunch of seeds as a result. I've recently started a few of these seeds and was curious what my chances may be of getting a stable female from the cross of these two plants? Opinions please. Peace, Farmer Rich Rating: 5
