firstly let me say that i wouldn't even know yet, what most of u have forgotten. this is my first season. I was assuming the principles of hermie evolution as discussed by the lady "strawbery grower" may be applied to cannabis. I can not see why the number/ chance of hermies would increase season after season. I just want to learn.....for the magic

I have read the entire thread and thank all that have posted and the info and opinions presented. I don't know how much weight I would put into a study of different plants and animals into determining the ratios of offspring. Cannabis is pretty unique in its ability to reproduce and what triggers this characteristic in a plant. You can have a sativa that hermies with very little difference in light times. They may never show this trait under different conditions, this does not make it a bad trait in your overall program. Anyway, here is a study done on cannabis, it cover several aspects of breeding including hermies. I highly recommend the read.

Hope it helps provide you with more insight on your plants.

thank you for the link. I just had a brief "flick through" and it just confirms to me that I know pretty much nothing.
I was really scratching my head at what to do for the next 20 years or so.......very exciting indeed. Peace

wow I am gald that their is so much interest in my post. to anyone that comes acrossed more info go ahead and post it. hopefully it will help out some other people like me. for those that have posted info thanks alot. I am beginning to have a better understang of the whole thing myself, but I have found that the tendencies tend to very with each strain and individual grower.
Just discovered my latest crop hermied and got seeded 
It was mostly my fault I guess, there were a lot of light leaks so I guess its not surprising. Next run I'm going to plant those herm seeds out and make sure there are no light leaks so I should be able to get some good females out of it. Lesson learned, watch for light leaks if you value your sensi! Peace

ok, i'll add this to all the comments...we had one huge plant go part hermie but only a few buds produced seeds...maybe got 300 or so from them...this was four years ago. Now every one of those seeds that we have planted or given to others for them to plant have produced female plants....not one male out of 64 plants so far. thoughts?

This is probably one of the most interesting i have read on here, i have about 200 hermie seeds in the cuboard. Haven't got a f*&%$£g clue what to do with them know. hahahaha. My favourite bit about this thread was "whos ASHMAN?". Just thought it was funny, and dont ask me who ASHMAN is i dont know.

Can I get a cut from that chicken nugget bush? That sounds like a cup winner strain if I ever heard one!

I didn't read anything but the first post. NL is very stable and a (almost?) pure indica. Indicas have a much lower likelihood of turning into hermaphrodites than sativas.
If the "hermie" is a result of stress, then the resulting seeds are feminized. They will be just as likely to "hermie" as the parents, which was most likely due to stress, not so much genetics.
This is most likely.
If the plant was not stressed and turned "hermie" by it self, then the resulting seeds will be a mix of male, female or hermaphrodite.
This is very unlikely.
I keep hearing people talk about hermaphrodites that do not recognize there is more than one type of hermaphrodite.
If a plant grows without stress and then shows both sex organs, the plant has a Y chromosome and is a hermaphrodite that can produce seeds on itself and other plants that could be male, female or hermaphrodite. If a female plant grows, then becomes stressed by the growing environment (temp/temps swings/humidity/poor nutrients/poor nutrient ratios...) that female plant will not have a Y chromosome. It will have a XX chromosome. If the pollen from that female plant produces seeds, those will be feminized seeds. They will be just as likely to "herm" as the parents.
There are plants/varieties that are more susceptible to stress, making them more likely to "hermie."
I have produced feminized seeds. I am basing this on experience and research.
