Is it possible for a hermie seed to produce a 100% female plant?

0% Chance for 100% Female, a Hermie by Definition is a Hermaphrodite, meaning it has the X and Y Chromosomes....To even attempt this would be a waste of time...I have been trying to get everyone to destroy every one they see and maybe in a thousand more year's they will be a Urban Legend....

I've got a little experiment on my hands now too, I have seeds that were pollinated by a hermie. All plants were "lightly seeded"(2-5seeds per ounce). I trashed the original plant that hermied but saved all the seeds that I got from my other ladies. I just got some of them germinated and moved into my room they are vegging under a 600w MH. I hope to have some fem seeds myself but I have a lot of plants going and when it comes down to thinning out, the hermie seeds will probably be the first to go. I will at least let one go till finish though, just out of curiosity. All the reading I've done indicates that I will probably end up with a hermie again, but I've got my fingers crossed. And I've got a lot of clones going to, just in case.

I think a lot depends on why it hermied in the first place. If it was genetic, then there is a high chance most of your seeds will be the same. If it was environmental, such as temps, light leaks, too much nutrients, etc, then you may be good if you provide better conditions than they were originally grown in.

unfortunately I think mine is genetic. I did no significant changes to the room besides a dehumidifier. And the following 2 grows went hermie free. So I know mine are probably not going to be worth growing all the way out. if I have a strong clone to take it's place I will probably let the hermie pollinated seeds go. I was hoping that since the hermie pollinated the nonhermie females that I'll end up with a fem seed, being it's not self pollinated.

I'm just hard headed, I have always had to learn the hard way. But like I said I have 30 stable clones to take the place of the 5 hermy prone seedlings place. Hearing what you say as well as a few other's who say the same has helped me make my mind up that I will chop'em first if they begin to compete for space, if not I'll watch them closely for balls.

Nonsense... a hermie is a stoner term of which the meaning is as flexible as cannabis's sexual expression.

Last time I'm posting this:

The sexual differentiation of Cannabis sativa L.: A morphological and molecular study
V. M. Cristiana Moliterni, Luigi Cattivelli, P. Ranalli, Giuseppe Mandolino
2004
Summary

Cannabis sativa L. is a dioecious species with sexual dimorphism occurring in a late stage of plant development. Sex is determined by heteromorphic chromosomes (X and Y): male is the heterogametic sex (XY) and female is the homogametic one (XX). The sexual phenotype of Cannabis often shows some flexibility leading to the differentiation of hermaphrodite flowers or bisexual inflorescences (monoecious phenotype). Sex is considered an important trait for hemp genetic improvement; therefore, the study of the mechanism of sexual differentiation is of paramount interest in hemp research. A morphological and molecular study of Cannabis sativa sexual differentiation has been carried out in the Italian dioecious cultivar Fibranova.

Microscopic analysis of male and female apices revealed that their reproductive commitment may occur as soon as the leaves of the fourth node emerge; the genetic expression of male and female apices at this stage has been compared by cDNA-AFLP. A rapid method for the early sex discrimination has been developed, based on the PCR amplification of a male-specific SCAR marker directly from a tissue fragment.

Five of the several cDNA-AFLP polymorphic fragments identified have been confirmed to be differentially expressed in male and female apices at the fourth node. Cloning and sequencing revealed that they belong to nine different mRNAs that were all induced in the female apices at this stage. Four out of them showed a high degree of similarity with known sequences: a putative permease, a SMT3-like protein, a putative kinesin and a RAC-GTP binding protein.

I posted so much fact about hermies across many threads and know it's futile going against a hermaphobia-infected herd. It won't be long before I will actually have it tested in a lab as I found one that can test for sex, and intersex traits... Not that that will be any more convincing for those who simply choose to remain ignorant but should be fun nonetheless.

For now, carry on with your hermaphobia and parroting forum-nonsense.

Don't forget to flush.

If only "Y" is present then it can only be "Y" however X+Y+ HT=Chances of Hermaphroditic Subject's are increased..

You're one of the people suggesting that treating a female with CS/STS is genetic modification.

A plant cell can become anything, include staminate and pistillate flowers.
