This is what I have been trying to say exactly! You were lucky enough to not experience the hermie gene being passed on though.all my seeds from hermie and pollinated females from the hermie i separated and marked. when grown they still all had the same ration of male to female.50%
so wherever you heard that is whacked.
although out of all the plants none came out hermie so i chose 2 females and revegged for cloning.
JesusOfCannabis is talking about Feminized seed. Sadly he was misinformed though.
If you take a TRUE female, and spray it with gibberellic acid it will pop male flowers. If you pollinate another TRUE female with this pollen you created...then the chances of getting females from those seeds are 90% or so.
A lot of breeders (our own Subcool being one of them) are entirely against this practice. The more I learn about the subject, and watch what is going on in my own grows...I am ALSO against it.
There are many feminized strains out there now that are extremely prone to be hermaphroditic now. Many are beginning to believe this is due to the way fem seed is made.
