The way I understand it a female can not produce a y chromosome so if a hermie self pollinates itself it does not have the ability to introduce that y chromosome so would only produce females or hermies
Truth! Thanks!
A hermie that self pollinated may pass on that hermie trait to its seeds. I agree with you.
A plant that is chemically or hormonal treatments(this is not a true hermaphrodite) produce mostly feminized seed, but may have a few seeds that grow male plants.
A hermaphrodite that self pollinates feminized seed and more than a few seeds that grow males.
A great breeder will produce all feminized seed with few exceptions. But exceptions exsist.
So far only one person replying to this post claims to have produced feminized seed. This person claims to have stress hermied plants outdoors which self pollinated and produced only feminized seeds and had none of the produced seeds grew up a male. This person claims to have done this many times.
I have grown a female for too long and had one banana, with this pollen I pollinated a few flowers one her clones. The seeds produced were ALL feminized and grew females.
I have used silver nitrate alone, silver nitrate and sodium thiosulfate (silver thiosulfate solution aka STS) and I have used GA4 to produce mostly feminized seed with a few exceptions.
I have had outdoor plants hermie that passed on the hermie trait, that produced feminized seed and many seeds that grew males.
How many plants have you feminized?
Anyone can go to a breeder post and ask if feminization guarantees only female seeds without exceptions. Only do this if you can handle the truth.
