How to create reliable seeds with Feminised plants?

Hey

Can you get a Feminised to turn hermie and make seeds by its self?

Can you get one to hermie, and take the pollen to another plant?

Would either of these ways make reliable seeds?

Many thanks

You can take a female past it's ripe stage and it will should male flowers in a last ditch effort to seed any plants nearby. You can collect the pollen and seed up other females to get seeds.

It wont seed itself up though as it wont grow new calyxes to pollinate.

I found a really good pheno of some fem silver bubble and crossed it to an awesome double gum male. My question is, will these seeds be more likely to hermie, as I grew out a small batch of these seed and the one plant I found that was just like the mother was packed full of nanners. So good I will grow one crop of it as it was dank. Anyone have any info on fem females and their offspring. Thanks

Depends how you made the cross...did you use CS to get the pollen or was the plant you got pollen from a hermaphrodite? If it was a hermaphrodite then yes you are likely to have 50% hermie plants in the offspring. If you used CS to force a female plant to produce flowers then no, your offspring should be female. It sounds to me like you used a hermaphrodite plant to seed up..

Most likely, they will be just as likely to show male flowers as the parents were.

The whole idea that feminized seeds are more likely to produce "hermies" is bullshit.

Ahhh good man Trousers, how i missed the MALE part has me baffled lol. That will teach me to read before posting!!

Trousers is right, only as likely to be hermie as the mother or father!

The mother wasn't hermie and the male was of good stuff just the one offspring threw a ton of nanners so maybe it was just reccessed genes, as the rest of the offspring were fine. It does make me wonder why the one that was most like the mother which was feminized was the one that nannered but will have to do more test runs to see if this is a reoccurring pattern.
