Hey about a month along and the dieselryders are starting to show sex. They were feminized seeds but one of them has turn what looks like straight male? Is this possible with this seed line anyone have experience with it? There was a tiny bit of stress I think from an early overwater or something, as evidenced by the leaf in the background of the picture twisting a bit. So this may be stress induced? I doubt it though the sacs came super quick almost perfectly ahead of the females so it just seems like a male?

Anyway I would like to use the pollen so it's not a waste but do you think this is a good idea? Take a look at the picture and let me know please. Thanks!

another one just went hermie as well, or did i just get a batch of regulars or something? because again it just seems male with no female traits which the other seemingly true female plants have. hmmm

noone can use their keen eye & knowledge to help me out here? there are no female parts on either of the two "feminized" seeds. is it possible they are hermie or is it possible they are straight male? thanks!

yeah I'd say you've got a boy but males usually show sex first so it could be that the pistils are still in hiding. If you've got a couple males, that's actually a good thing. You can propagate the seeds and get hundreds of them, that way you never have to buy auto seeds again. That's what I'd do. Just bring the best male out, and stick it under some other light, and once the sacks are about to burst, collect the pollen and pollinate some female branches when they're ready. Good luck!

hmm so how can a feminized seed from the breeder turn out to be male though is that even possible? i trust jointdoctor he seems like a straight shooter so i doubt the feminized label on the package was a lie. the other "feminized" dieselryders have female parts showing so i'd imagine they'd be on the male/hermie by now too. thanks

most femminzed seeds are 90% female or less. Meaning that you still have a chance of males, just much less of a chance.

hmm i don't like those odds then considering 2 out of the 5 were male. what is your opinion on the hermie issue rider? could it possibly be a hermie with purely male characteristics?

it's normal genetic drift... the winds were just really blowing the day your boys were created.. metaphorically
also.. at 90% some people still get all girls so that means eventually somebody is going to get multiple boys

if you're that pissed call the breeder and see if he'll do you right... or else see the blessing in disguise like the others said and make more seeds

don't get me wrong i'm not complaining, i am actually quite happy if it is indeed a 100% male. now if the rest of the non auto-flower plants have this same problem it will probably be a different story. so you think it's a male as well and not a hermie?
