I grow exclusively from seed and don't get hermies.
I think you're using the term breeder much too loosely. Who are these other breeders and what actual background do they have in plant science?
The "Never flower from seed plants" is 100% bro-science nonsense.
I was referring to this statement:
"I have read other breeders state never flower your from seed plants, always take cuts and flower them but never heard why and I wonder if this is related and part of the old bro-science that holds some facts to it?.."
Respectfully an argument could be made that you have no experience with herms then @xtsho so you can’t really say.. I have had three plants herm, none of the clones from those three have so far. I have not changed anything. Could it be coincidence, sure..Sometimes seed plants will develop male parts on lower underlit branches. Its extremely rare for the clones from that same plant to continue to throw balls because the plant has matured and acclimated to its artificial environment. Thats not broscience, its fact and I'd challenge anyone to disprove this widely accepted concept.
Plants that show interesex from top to bottom should be tossed though....thats just lazy breeding.
a lot of ppl never flower the seed plant bcs they grow it out, cut their clones then, cull the mother and run from the clones
I was simply stating what was said to me and I have read other places in case someone else wants to try for themselves instead of claiming it’s wrong without trying.
@Tangerine_ likely hit the nail on the head, many growers especially newer do not allow their plants to mature before pushing them into flower, I’d bet most don’t even know they should, mine happened on my second grow before I really knew anything about a mature plant
Anyway, I was just sharing in case it helps someone and in case others know about this and have more facts about it
