Cool thanks I def will keep you all updated...I've never seen a thread go unread almost the whole day and then just turn into a full out chat room haha. Also when I update next I'll try to show a bit more of the tent and just how packed in they really are.

People are also very marijuana specific here and take hemaphoditism as an overview of all plants then you come up with a different answer to just mj growers.

The only reason I started to get concerned at all was because after they were already growing I was just googling more and more about the Reserva Privada OG Kush #18 feminized seeds and I saw more and more boards saying that it was a genetically fucked up strain with tons of herms where as other people were talking it up as some of the best bud they ever smoked haha.

Its why i condone the loosw term of the word 'Hemaphodite', that word spawned many myths and its best mj growers realise that this is not a true hemaphodite and perfectly natural in mother nature. Hemaphodites are different and you simply wouldnt want to grow one of these if your expecting a good yeild and bud.

You dont see them much anyway but mj growers have spawned this big myth. Hermaphoditism is a genetics thing and unstopable. Juat cos a few nannas showed on some of your strain dosent mean it has the exact genes in its dna code for hemaphroditism. Believe me there is a massive difference between the two or should i say between mj growers and plant scientists!

Call the seed company and tell them they sold you hemaphodites after some guy on a grow site called Rollitup told you it was definatly a herm.

I dont know if they can get a breeder to talk to you but if they can you might just give him the best laugh hes had allday.

And so onwards goes the mj herm myth!

one or 100 if a plant grows both male and female reproductive organs its a hermaphrodite..

not trying ot be rude but it is what it is...the extent may vary but theres no other word for it.

Haha I'm not saying they are even herms...I'm honestly hoping they aren't I just wanted other peoples opinion on what I am viewing to find out if its different then what I'm seeing. I just think that at least one of these two are a true hermi with it possibly throwing off pollen sacs next to calyxes at the same time next to eachother

Early flowering or puberty can be a troubling time and plant can throw out some strange stuff, let it grow a bit more to be sure and if it seems to be a true hermie not a stress related nana (some like to call a herm, as two plants of the same strain one stressed with nanas and one in perfect conditions witbout nanas a herm does not make) would be great to document as we all see so very few.

If i stressed you enough its possible your body might trigger different growth, theres a difference as ive stated. Some dude calling my plant a true herm cause i had one bannana in 10oz of bud.... REALLY!

I really fail to understand simple logic!!!!

If a herm plant pollinates itself using supposed male/female genetics as the mj MYTH goes....


Then why are all the resulting seeds female?

Apparently it has the male genetics...

Maybe im wrong on this point but it is a valid question and one id love the answer to.

If i give my mate dave a lot of the female hormone in his red bull and dave grows female boobs does this make dave a hemaphorodite and will he pass a hermie gene onto his kids?

Guessing plants work this way too.

Now if dave marries a hemaphodite, we actually found one on 'Plenty of Fish' omg! and he has kids with this manwoman, definatly passing on the herm gene will his kids be hemaphodites?

The answer is dave wont have hermie kids if we spike his redbull although i think were gona love the boobs

and

If he gets his hermie girlfriend pregnant then some of his kids will be hermies and a set ratio according to medels pea experiment.

So are we stressing plants and loosley

smh

dominant female plants have female chromosone. the male flowers it produces have no male chromosone, thus when they have plant sex you have a female chromosone and a female chromosone....no male thus it is a feminized seed and the probability of it being a female is like 98%..theres tons of literature on it online..

as far as comparing them to people there 2 different species....so no a hermaphrodite human cannot produce offspring with same sex...a male human will always be a male no matter how many hormones they drink or surgery they go through they will still lack ovaries...same with a female hermaphrodite, the will never have true testicles and the ability to produce semen..

im not sure what myth your talking about....its not a myth if it was then explain all the hermaphrodite marijuanna plants people have grown...

colidal silver is just a way to stress a plant into producing male flowers, it dosent create them just pushes the plant too. yiou should do some reading to understand it a bit better because you seem to not have a firm grasp on the topic..no offense.

Mate its a hormonal reaction that produces the male part on a female part, this is from reading...

Sumones trying to say any female that pops a male pollen sac is a hermie!

Yes the same hormonal responses are relevant to people.

UPDATE - They both did herm on me and I didn't catch it quick enough and its looking like I should have maybe 30-40 seeds from the 4 plants I didn't end up throwing away. Now that this is the case I have a few questions for everyone...

1- What's the best way to make use of these two unfinished plants? Currently they are cut up and on hangers.

2- What traits should I expect to see from these seeds?
*OG Kush#18 pollen onto Grapefruit
*OG Kush#18 pollen onto Critical Sensi Star
*OG Kush#18 pollen onto OG Kush#18 (pollen from hermed plant onto plant that didnt herm)

-I'm guessing that these seeds would be considered s1? and so should they all be the same with 50/50 genetics from their parents or would it be considered something else because these strains had parents that were different?
