How long does seed last

 

[madmaxg13]

Where did you get the seeds from? I understand letting em go. But that's shitty genetics or plant stress!

So I think you meant to quote me and ask a question at the same time, so that's how I will treat what I see. Sees can last years if they are stored correctly.

Aren't hermie seeds feminized?

I have quite a few pictures now. I'll upload them in a few hours.

Not

Aren't hermie seeds feminized?

sure what your asking. I don't know where to buy a hermie seed. However if you meant don't feminized seeds come from hermed females then yes pretty sure that's accurate.

The answer to your question involves so complex, that it would take a pretty long explanation of how genetics work to answer it.

Hint: There is a huge difference between a stress-induced hermie and true genetic hermie.

Yea that's what I meant let me rephrase "don't hermie plants make feminized seeds" so I say if you like the strain grow it again with your own female seeds. when I had a hermie problem she only spit 1 seed whole plant. but I did catch it as soon as the nanner popped. I guess it only got pollen on one calyx?

So I'm sure I'm beating a dead horse but, I've been scouring pics of preflower calyxs and hermie whatnots for hours and still can't decide. I am in my 5th week of flower and can not tell if I have a hermie or not. No bananas on any plants. These were clones bought from a dispensary in denver.

I find that the suspense and not knowing feeling in my garden tend to correlate with males.
The last several males I got looked great but I just had a weird feeling about them for a few weeks until the helmets/acorns on stalks finally appeared at the 4th internode.

The pictures aren't going full screen for me, but they do all look like calyxes. Watch out passively though as bananas can come on through genetic curveballs or stress issues.

My understanding of feminization is that a chemical is applied to a branch of a true female and this changes that branches sex expression, allowing you to use a female to fertilize a female. The theory is that the seeds will have only gotten X chromosomes and then be predispositioned to be female.

My experience of femmed seeds has been that they are more sensitive to stress and easier to sex flip/stress to intersex than regular seeds.

Hermaphroditic reproduction would IMO be a true hermaphrodite throwing stamens and pollen, pollinating itself and others and carrying on the gene for intersex.
