Dude don't worry about all this.
Just grow some bud first.
And read about breeding because it isn't that hard to make seeds while you grow great pot.
Please Read up.

Yes, this is possible. Sometimes on purpose.

Opie, under what circumstances would it be preferable to hermie a male rather than hermie a female?

I am going to guess that we are on the brink of some really technical breeding stuff...

[Opie Yutts]

I don't know a lot about this because at this point I really don't care. I'm just not into it. Sorry I can't help more. Too technical.

[iwantFUEGO]

really not technical...
I was just asking that:
Say a person grows one plant, and unfortunately it turns out to be male. So at weeks 2 of flower, this frustrated person has 2 choices, 1. Kill it and waste all the money you spend on electricity, or, 2. Stress the plant by cutting some leaves and messing with the light cycles for a couple weeks and making it turn hermie. Then maybe this plant will pollinate its self and [this person] can atleast get like 50-75 seeds.
Eh?

That's why if you're growing from seed you should always grow multiple plants.

If you're worried about spending the $ on electricity- how much is it going to cost to get those seeds?

And to get 75 seeds off a MALE plant- well, the last time you saw a female turn hermi, how many male sex parts showed up? Relatively few.

Each female calyx can only grow one seed. See where this is going?

Aha... i see now...
I figured a male plant would grow fair-sized buds if it turned hermie.
thanks
