no they are different traits...one being that the plant will her from the onset, naturally, no mater what you do or how you grow it....the other being a female plant that is sensitive to stress and will throw male flowers...yeah difference in the degree of it herming but still herming nonetheless
That brings me back to my most important question will my plants turn hermie...what is the % ot YES and NO.no they are different traits...one being that the plant will her from the onset, naturally, no mater what you do or how you grow it....the other being a female plant that is sensitive to stress and will throw male flowers...
chances are that your friend had a crop and one of the plants hermies a few weeks in due to stress, if so you plants from the seeds should be female with a small chance of some being TRUE hermies...there is a small chance in all plants (mj) varieties becoming true hermies, if its in the genes....a true hermie will show up in unstable genetics hat were bred with genetic lines that have the true hermie trait..That brings me back to my most important question will my plants turn hermie...what is the % ot YES and NO.
P.S. I'm really sorry for my English
Few of the pictures are not of hermie seeds...they are 2 Purple bud and 1 Royal Caramel and they are not in 58day of swich light period. They are clones that i get from a friend of mine and they are that green 'cuz of HPS to CLF switching (i guess)Just a thought but I woul start to defoliate all the fan leaves right now and I would slowly cut back on the feeding as I don't believe those leaves should be that green....allow the plant to start to consume itself....it should have plenty of food...obviously I can't see the trichs but I would say another 4 weeks....Just My Opinion
I'm currently growing out some feminized beans (didn't realize they were fems til I got them), and talk about a lack of vigor, ugh. The only reason why I bought these beans is that I'd sampled the smoke and it was really good.IMO it's getting sad how most seeds are Feminized now. I feel like I need to get my hands on non fem seeds so I can start breeding something without it, and keep it so it'll be super expensive when most strains are fem and all the parents are hermis.
Nothing against them, I'm even toying with the idea myself if I don't pop any maleS. But at the same time, I don't want to feminize my seeds Due to wanting to have a stable mother and father with great genes.

Any amount of hermie tendency is a known monkey wrench in the grow system. I would take comments encouraging the growth of hermies with rocks of salt.
Grow your hermies for the next 5 yrs or more and taste food with no salt and see how satisfying it is, that is if you still have an appetite for high grade marijuana. Better yet, dissect a calyx from your so called "sin semilla" nuggs and define the little "thingy" at the bottom of the hair/s then subtract that from the energy it takes from the flower and that equals your potency/medicinal outcome....Not true.
Unless you're breeding and develop a male hermi.....
quick word on "backward" hermaphrodites ? declared males that eventually sport female flowers ? as opposed to the usual female-to-male hermaphrodites. These are semi-rare occurrences, usually sterile but sometimes viable, that I have found at times to be valuable in their genetic contributions. Some of the most resinous and desirable males I have encountered exhibited this trait. This trait almost seems to guarantee against unwanted hermaphroditism in subsequent generations as it also increases the female to male ratio in its progeny.)
You'll learn much more if you grow your hermies and pay close attention to the difference between the potency/medical efficacy of the nuggs with empty calyxes vs calyxes with unidentified little thingys hanging from the hairs. If I explain any further you may interpet my perspective as antogonizing or condescending. Peace and hermie grease.I feel you on growing hermi for smoking it..... But for breeding it's apparently good genetics if in a male. Iunno. Just an article I read.
I had to read that a few times though, affter dissecting the calyx... How does that define your potency?
