Does a hermie produce hermie seeds?
Correct me if I am incorrect, but I think think the question you ask is just a little more complicated than what was answered. Keep in mind I have not conducted an controlled experiments in order to support my position.
I think there is a factor here of whether the seeds will produce hermies or not. I think if your hermaphridation was induced due to stress as some time during the flowering period then it is less likely to be a genetic predisposition. Where as if you had a stable enviroment and right from the onset of flowering you had herms then your likely hood of haveing seeds that produce herms is alot greater.
The answer to your question lies in the factual reason that Mj plants go hermaphrodite in the first place. The majority of the consensus is on the side of self genetic preservation and genetic propagation during times of undue stress. In other words the plant wants to carry on its genes and it doesn't think it will have adequate time to do so due to some outside stressing factor. The real question is what is happening at the genetic level. Does stressing a plant during various stages of veg or floral growth actually change
the genetic sequence or is it only a chemical change...kind of like a safety trigger. Is there an actual sequencing of genes that predetermines that a plant will be a hermaphrodite right from the get go.
Unfortunately, although I can understand all of the problems that are presented with these thoughts, I have not had the oppurtunity in life to be able to breed and manipulate growths to such an extent that I would be able to determine this for sure. Although I think my thought makes logical sense, until someone does a controlled experiment then we will not know for sure.Methyl3 Reviewed by Methyl3 on . Does a hermie produce hermie seeds? Just curious of this question because I have got sum good looking bagseeds and since it was in the bud(alot) I was curious if they would be Hermie as well? Or does it work differently. Rating: 5
