Hey Everyone,
I'm struggling with the possibility of hermies after buying feminized seeds in a recent trip to Amsterdam. If I would have been more informed about the possibility of hermies, I would have avoided them.. Oh well, lesson learned.
What I bought was feminized:
White Widow
White Diesel
Bleu Berries
All from Sensi Seed Bank.
Word is plant stress, particularly environmental stress (temp is a big contributor), is a major factor in causing feminized seeds to go hermie.
The product that will prevent this is Dutch Masters Reverse and Penetrator (Penetrator must be used with Reverse). This product should be applied via spray when you flip to 12/12 lighting and again in 10 days. It's designed to grow seedless vegetables and works great to prevent any nanners from popping up on your female plants and ruining a great grow.
I guess the question I have, has anyone had success with using a plant from a feminized seed (or a clone from a feminized seed plant) as a mother with no recurring problems with hermaphrodite tendencies?
As far as the original question regarding hermie seeds. I'm getting ready to grow a couple of great bag seed indicas that were fertilized by a hermie sativa during my first grow. As sticky and crystally as they all were, I'm guessing the kids will turn out nice. I have heard on plants that self fertilize (hermies) the seeds will be female, but also prone to hermie too. I got rid of the self fertilized beans..
Peace, Farmer Rich
