As long as they are nanners and not actual hermies your seeds will be viable. I have grown plenty of seeds caused by nanners and grown nanner free plants.
Hermies seeds are definitely prone to giving hermie plants.
So have many others. Nothing wrong with nanner pollen. It's a method used for making feminized seeds.
There is a difference between a true hermaphrodite that exhibits both male and female traits "pistils and balls" and a female plant that throws a few nanners. There has been plenty of information available for years and many growers using nanner pollen for making seeds.
Making feminized seeds using nanners isn't anything to laugh about. It was being done before many were even growing by people that have been growing and breeding since the early 70's. It's not the same as pollen from actual balls that form on a true hermaphrodite. Many people don't understand the difference. You can use the pollen from the random nanners that form late in flower on many strains of cannabis if you let them flower long enough to make feminized seeds that are no more prone to hermaphroditism than feminized seeds made with pollen from a female plant reversed with STS or CS.
Many have read the article by Soma before but for those that haven't I've quoted a couple sections and linked to a previous rollitup thread that has the entire article.
Feminizing Seeds. The Rodelization Method
Written By Soma
"I named this new method "Rodelization," after a friend who helped me realize and make use of this way of creating female seeds. After growing crop after crop of the same plants in the same conditions, I noticed that if I flowered the plants 10-14 days longer than usual, they would develop male "bananas." A male banana is a very slight male flower on a female marijuana plant that is formed because of stress. Usually they do not let out any pollen early enough to make seeds, but they sometimes do. They are a built-in safety factor so that in case of severe conditions, the plant can make sure the species is furthered.
To me, a male banana is quite a beautiful thing. It has the potential of making all female seeds.
Many growers out there have male-banana phobia. They see one and have heart palpitations, they want to cut down the entire crop, or at the very least take tweezers and pluck the little yellow emergency devices out. I call them "emergency devices" because they emerge at times of stress."
"You can also use this pollen to make new female crosses by cross-pollinating."
A few of my friends from these forums asked me about info about making Feminized seeds. I was going to use the Rodelization method. This was featured in the High Times magazine. So I was going to make a thread about that method, but I came across a online article of it. I figure it be best to...
