I don't believe that plant is hermie either. I don't know the genetic breeding terminology but it sure ain't male. I have seen it plenty of times and just ignore it.

What???? 90% of femmed seeds carry the hermie gene. Sorry Helmutt but I have to call you on that one. Where did you get that from? Femmed seed carry the hermie gene as much as a reg does, no difference my man. Their selfed so not different than the sum of their moms. But if I'm wrong please explain.
Hey why do u allways quote my post then asks me to explain??? Experience.. is the only answer i can give you. I can tell from you questioning me and asking to explain that ur just a bit green..lol

I've asked you twice to explain something I didn't quite get so saying always is a bit of a stretch lol. So you quote a figure of 90% but that is from experience? So your saying that 90% of your femmed seeds have hermied? Sorry if my questions bother you but I'm just trying to understand, yup I am green when it comes to femmed seeds, and indoor growing as a whole, only been inside for 4-5 years. But honestly I've only grown femmed seeds after moving inside and mostly clones before that. Only had one strain herm though. That was why I asked. I guess I should be buying more lottery tickets :). Also guess when I see something that just doesn't add up I question it, it's a fault I guess lol.

We get our strains from landrace strains that used the ability to hermie as a positive trait in the wild which as we know can be tough going in some years and better in others.

There are a lot of threads with the odd nana on a plant so just the sheer amount of threads on this subject gives quite a lot of evidence to this point.

Hermie is not a simplistic subject in marijuana. I did think some of those balls look clustered together which is another male thing but just the fact it has white hairs is a reason to give it a chance.

If you have already had pollen sacs and they have had the chance to mature, split and dry up enough to release pollen then surely a picture would clarify the fact of wether there is enough reason to cull a plant not just based on some early preflowers that look a damn site more female than male.

There is so much conflicting info re: femmed seeds and when I see numbers and percentages then I question them, again perhaps a fault lol. Anywho I'm sure that Helmutt may be right and I would put it higher perhaps if in fact it is a hermie gene??? But I'm thinking its in the whole gene pool and in most cases not a dominate one. I'm thinking that most plants if let go long enough and under proper conditions may throw some female pollin to survive. But ...... I have no clue lol. All I know is very rarely do I see balls so then I would have to say 99% of female seeds do not throw balls ;).

Ive seen a lot of weird preflowers in my grows and just learnt to ignore them, if you cant at least wait till its flowering id say your being impatient when it comes to mother nature, possibly even foolish.

Different growers experience different things, i use to get quite a few plants that threw a few male flowers at the end of a grow and now im lucky to see one. That sucks as i also liked the free seed that came with them.


If your getting these problems with fem seed you might just consider that its the grower at fault and not the genetics, so few of us like to admit were less than perfect when it comes to mj cultivation.

I've never had pollen fall out of any female I've ever grown but my personal experience ill take pics when light comes on for the skeptics lol

But dude u quoted me on a whole different thread and aske me to explain. And now ur doing it again.. that shows me u dont know shit about growing and ur just fishing to get info. If u dont know something just say "i dont know" but u act like you've been growing for years and if that the truth why u calling me out in two different threads. I can tell u dont know squat because if u ever seen a fem seed vs a regular seed the fems once the surpassed their harvest seed themselves also any breeders if you've ever spoken to them they will tell you how they feminize their seeds. A regular seed seldom seed themselves once harvest time has passed.

I'm definitely newer to this thn some but i have been growing for 7 years only fem seeds and have had a few nanners at the end of my grow but never have had balls a week after the 12/12 switch just my 2 cents ...thats why I started this thread

It would just be the next logical step to post pictures of the male flowers as well. I dont doubt what your saying but the reply to your original post seems to need more consideration, surely got me interested.

What he said^^^^ also all i saw was female. Lets see the male parts.

I planted five bagseeds from a QP of Mexican weed that my old dad bought. He buys his stuff in bulk because he's an oldtimer and I can't convince him it's worse to get caught one time with alot of pot than make the extra trips for an oz.

Anyways, the bagseeds turned out three females and two males. Culled the males and abandoned one of the females outside in woodland. One I've taken care of is in my sig. . .not a single hermaphrodite. Your plant definitely looks hermi to me.

Actually I asked you to explain because I think your talking out your ass just for the sake of talking out your ass. And yes your right as I have said I know squat and ask before I start talking percentages and numbers. Perhaps if more people did that there would be less bro science thrown around here :(.

I have no experience with this at all but it looks like your plants is quite happily making plenty of bud there, could you not like really carefully remove the nanners from the plant so it doesn't pollinate it? Unless you want seeds, I guess.
