This is my first full grow inside. Last year I crossed The Black from bcbuddepot with an unknown variety. The mother was the unknown variety it was a very nice heavy producing out side plant. Had no problems to cause any plants to go herm outside. This winter I'm doing the indoor thing. I have had my share of learning how to grow in pots my girls have had their share of stress . I had 3 in flowering 1 hybrid 2 theblack. The hybrid hermed on me I found about 2 male flowers on it and pulled It when they were found. the black plant that was the closest has about 15 seed on her and still in flowering. I was planning on crossing th hybrid back to the black this summeronce I found the struckture that I was looking for. Will the seeds that are forming at this time be worth keeping I know that they have that treat. They shouldn't ever have the stress that the one went threw to turn herm. I've read that taking pollen from a female that was treated with a hormonal spray to make them herm makes all female seed. Does this apply to what I got or should I just threw them away.
is pollen from herm ok

yeah you will get fem seeds...BUT ...if it's from a herm that was not forced in to being a herm, then u have like a 50% herm gene that can go herm at any time!!! when good breeders make fem seeds they stress some females to see witch ones dont give in easy..then they use hormonal spray to get them to go herm and use that pollen that way she wont go hermy with any lil stress...you feel me??...is this ur only project u got going on?..i had to kill a hermy last night....it sucked because she was the fastest flowering staiva that i had ..ol well dont wont that hermy gene in my seeds...peace..
I got plenty of seed and 18 plants going at different stages trying to flower 3 at a time only have a 150 hps. I think I'll just tossem . the mother plant looked like sativa and the f1 hybrid plants so far are showing sex as quick as the black which is 90% indica.

yeah if ur breeding ur own shit u dont want no damn hermy genes....the f1 should be ok just keep growing them out tell u find the mom and dad that ur looking for...and dont use pollen/breed any plant that has any bad genes that dont meet ur goal..
i got a project going: bagseeds..stavias and indicas..females that im letting my male auto ak X hindu kush drop pollen on...im hopeing for a faster, rougher,smaller plant..i dont want too much auto in it just want to shave off a week or so off the flowering time if i can..those autos grow them selfs...peace...
