All cannabis plants have the ability to go hermie as part of their survival strategy. If they don't get pollinated they will form 'nanners late in flowering in an attempt to spread their DNA. Taht's basically how early fem seeds were produced by some. Keep the plant flowering past it's due date to force 'nanners. That does make good fem seeds.

I'm sorry to debate this, imvho that is the myth itself. Rhodelization is a made up industry term, have never been able to find any scientific information supporting it.
Type Rhodelization into google and you get a plethora of information, but it's all from cannabis specific sources. Imho the sources are bias, without substantial evidence.

I don't deny that a selfed plant will effectively be a genetic copy, there is no other DNA. I don't deny some hermaphrodite plants make for good smoke either.

Imho working on the assumption a plant throwing late stage sexual organs is female, is confirmation bias and negates the possibility of the same happening in future "females".
If proving rhodelization exists is the goal, then imo we should be challenging the existing science. By practicing it and challenging it's theory, through rigorous experimentation and documentation.
So far I haven't personally seen any and would really like to. It is for sure an interesting theory.

I'm of the opinion it is hard wired into the individual, not instinctive. Instinct would imply every single plant possess the same ability, which imo science has shown it to be false.

There must be an extremely good reason breeders use colloidal silver and sts to self plants. Otherwise rhodelization would be a hell of a lot more popular than it is.

Rather convoluted but that's the way many people I've known on forums have got pollen off of girls then made good seeds with them so it works but not all plants will throw 'nanners if allowed to go past crop time so unreliable to say the least.

I have the chem to make STS and will be spraying some girls soonish. Made my own silver nitrate and a breeder sent me some sodium thiosulfate plus a little silver nitrate tho I have 12g of it. Works great on warts. ;)

I really just want to take a second to thank every single person on this thread that decided to chime in and put their two cents where it was needed! I frequent and couple other Forum style websites Reddit included but I've never been treated with as much respect as I have been on here. Thank you to everybody for helping me restore confidence in my garden as well as in my own abilities to cultivate my own medicine. Happy growing off here's a picture of the ladies just recently. Or ladyboys LOL
