Hermed plant breeding questions

[SmokeMonster32]

I posted this in a previous thread but it was buried and I wanted to get some answers from experienced growers.

-I had (2) OG KUSH #18 herm on me and pollinate my other plants...since then I have pulled those two plants out of my tent and cut them and hung them upside down.

1- What's the best way to make use of these two unfinished plants with some buds and sugar leafs? Currently they are cut up and on hangers still.

2- What traits should I expect to see from these seeds?
*OG Kush#18 pollen onto Grapefruit
*OG Kush#18 pollen onto Critical Sensi Star
*OG Kush#18 pollen onto OG Kush#18 (pollen from hermed plant onto plant that didnt herm)

-I'm guessing that these seeds would be considered s1? and so should they all be the same with 50/50 genetics from their parents or would it be considered something else because these strains had parents that were different?

Dump and start gain ..sorry, but its your fault for not
recognizing that fact that you were growing hermes,
by the time you get back to budding again
all that herming pollen should have been killed
of but clean them out well with bleach and hot water

..sure you may still toke that crap but it won't be near the quality of the bud you require and in most instances hermed seeds make hermed plants over and over !! ​

a S1 is a plant that fertilizes itself
yours are feminized crosses, at least for the 1st 2 plants listed
the plants grown will be female, mostly, but an odd male can show up
now the risks of growing them is increased risk of hermies
but it's not a lock, good plants can happen

Yes they are not true selfs S1 but they are an F1 and they will be fem's. Hard to say how the kids will turn out, and it's not a 50/50 of the Donner's you will still get the same variance in different phenos, as you would with regular crosses.

Will the offspring be hermi prone??? I personally have had good luck with seeds not from the hermi plant. But I've only done 2 grows, 8 plants total, no banana's yet.

I pulled the 2 hermed plants out of the tent first and after closely checking them and only finding a few small nanners I cut them up and hung them....then I pulled the other 4 plants out of the tent and just washed that inside of the tent with water. I have been checking non stop for any of those 4 to throw out a nanner ( esp the og kush#18 ) but they have all looked pretty good since. I think I caught it pretty early but I'm running low on seeds and don't have a perpetual grow so I'm hoping I can get something good out of this by saving the crop and also getting some seeds out of it as well. Here are the buds and plants now...I def think they are still worth saving.

That's good to hear... I def understand that I might not be able to predict yield size, bud characteristics and flower time. If the genetics are good between the two strains that were crossed, then I should at least be able to expect a good quality of bud regardless of how much bud I get off a plant, How it looks and how long it takes to finish. Is that correct?

Exactly! You never really know what your going to get with a new cross. I've only had one home made cross that just completely blew me away. Got hi hopes for a new cross that will start 12/12 this weekend. My 18th gen Maui Wowie clone and a Purple Bay11 male. If it's a keeper I'll call it Maui Bay
