So let me make sure I understand this correctly. If I am wrong please say so.
If a hermaphrodite
marijuana plant pollinates a 100% female
marijuana plant that this is what creates feminized seeds.
If this is wrong again please say so. If, however, this is true then why wouldn't more people create or save hermie pollen? Or are they doing it and I am just not seeing it? Or am I wrong about the whole thing?
Not exactly. It's a little more complicated than that. This is what I've read:
If a female plant goes hermie because it was genetically destined to do so, then using the pollen from it will result in both hermaphrodite seeds and female seeds. But you are likely to have a high number of hermies from that seed. This is just a regular old hermie, common with bagseed, and is not good to use to get feminized seed.
If a female plant goes hermie due to lots of stress from screwed up light cycles, spraying it with gibberellic acid, using colloidal silver on it, etc., then pollinating a female plant with it's pollen should result in feminized seeds. There will still be the occasional hermie, but that will happen with all feminized seed. Lots of folks make their own feminized seeds with pollen from these kind of hermies.
There is another technique for getting a female to go hermie, and it is called Rodelization (spelling). It is like this: you let an unpollinated female plant go 2 or 3 weeks past ripening without cutting off any bud. In a last ditch effort to reproduce, it will sometimes produce male pollen sacs. This pollen is good to use to make feminized seed. Lots of folks use this method, though again, the occasional hermie will pop up.
