You dont have herm genetics. I never find a herm.

How many plants do you select from

With our own genetics, like 30 or more each time because we only got so much space right now. We also created our very own skunk OG strains from the genetics we have and it just showed up out of the blue after I crossed a lemon skunk with an unknown purple skunk. So most of the genetics are crossed with an unknown purple skunk male that was used as a base to stabilize the gene pool. I got the purple skunk from a local friend who passed away from throat cancer.

Some of the best strains come from herm seeds, GG#4 is a great example of this. Most times herm is due to grower error, only rarely is it genetic, and even when it's genetic it's not always bad. Trainwreck is an example of genetic hermaphroditism, and it is good enough that people have put up with that trait.

I am not sure I agree completely, yeah some good comes from them but passing down the genetic trait only keeps it around longer. I am more of a believer that it is genetics over grower error. Especially when testing strains that repeatedly do the same thing under different variables. Cali Con is built on herms so it isn't all bad but you have to dig through a huge pile of shit to find treasure.

Well it's easy to tell because true hermaphrodites and environment induced self pollination (Which is the more correct term for what most people call "herms") look different. When a female plant grows male flowers in an attempt to self pollinate (e.g. because of environmental stresses, or from going very late into flower without being pollinated) the male flowers will grow on separate nodes from the female flowers. So you will see female buds, and then at some joints you will see small clusters of male flowers, but they will be separate. In actual genetic hermaphrodites, the male and female flowers will be on the same node, so you will see male flowers within budding clusters of calyxes. Now, the genetic predisposition to self pollinate when stressed can ALSO be passed down, but will grow without male flowers under whatever it considers optimal conditions, whereas genetic hermaphrodites will always produce intersexed flowers regardless of environment.

I am a firm believer in quality genetics acclimated to ones environment will never throw out a banana. I have grown hundreds of strains and the newer crosses are way more unstable than when using a worked line.
Whether they have balls or just little dicks both are unwanted in my garden. But to find gold you gotta sift through some rock first.

Cannabis seeds USA will never get my money again. Bought the ten Columbian sseds. Not a single seed germinated. Bought three of the feminized grandaddy perps. Two were males. The third is a sparse plant that is very slow to mature, with scraggly small flowers. Guess I should have done my homework.
I agree, DO NOT BUY FROM CANNABIS-SEED.US ---
I recently grabbed a 10 pack of regular "green crack". Not one seed popped using a jiffy seed starter greenhouse. I had a 95% germ rate with other seeds planted in the same greenhouse at the same time. No problems except for the bunk seeds from CANNABIS-SEEDS.US. I attempted to contact Michael the owner without any reply. What a ripoff.

Bought a bunch of seeds from cannabis-seed.us and so far we have 2 dozen that didn't sprout at all, several that sprouted but were deformed, and of the 4 that grew taller than 2 inches before dying, 1 was male and 3 were herms. Shoulda known something was up when the seeds shipped in bags from a different seed broker that charged way more for the same seeds.
