hermies

hi all.
I need some advice please on hermies ,I have never had them before in my grows so don't know much about the subject .

I bought some female seeds from attitude seedbank, blue cheese .

I started 6 seeds off which all come up rooted through ok .

I then transferred them into 11ltr pots in coco soil & under a 600w light . 18/6 veg for 4 weeks ,
at the end of veg 4 weeks ,first week into flower I took 8 clones /cuttings of these plants .


through veg & into flipping on flower 12-12 I was really struggling with my temps reaching 90f-100f at times regular ,I know this is way to high but there was nothing I could do at the time ,

i think the plants got really heat stressed in my room ,around about 2-3 weeks in flower only 2 plants started to show some good flower & was coming on ok .

but the other 4 plants where very poor slow ,they was showing very small flower sites ,odd white hairs small but could see them lacking ,i kept feeding as normal & left them thinking they might catch up but they just got tall & very scraggy no buds ,im thinking they turned male .

after that i decided these 4 plants where not going to do anything only waist feed ,so i cut them down .& was left with just the 2 plants .

i have just cut these 2 plants as they are ready now & drying ,they have produced some nice bud & look ok ,on one plant when trimming up i noticed a few seeds in the bud .never had them before .


another question ,would you use the clones /cuttings i took of these plants ,?

If I had different seeds and/or clones I would grow them preferably.
But seems to me they hermied because of heat stress, so you may be okay if you've sorted your temperature problems out.
If you haven't, then why not seek out a more heat tolerant strain?...

Hermies are the plants natural response to stressed conditions. In the wild it does this to ensure the continuation of its species, in your garden it does it because you messed something up. Some strains are more prone to hermie than others also.

so right ,what now im asking .........I got the 4 hermies in my grow which I later took out yeah .

the remaining 2 plants turned out ok with good bud later on ,but on harvesting I see both plants have seeds in them so the hermies must of pollenated them yeah .

there's not a shit load of seeds but there is enough ?

can I use these seeds would they be female seeds ? to use ?


thanks

They sure are good enough. Had a hermie a while back myself, pollinated every single one of my ladies. I've stored every seed away. And yes they'll be feminized seeds

Not always... I personally wouldn't run those seeds with the idea they will be female that's just not the case

Don't misunderstand me; I've got no intention of planting them, just saved them all in case the law changes for the worse here in the UK.
