I always wondered this? If a plant hermaphrodites and pollenates the same plant are those seeds feminized?
bro that's so wrong I used to think the same but cannabis is more like this xyxx because it's a hermaphrodite specie's if you have a xy male plant then you have a 1 in a 1000 plant same with a true female xx. If you treat a female plant with sts or silver nitrate it does cause stress but that's not what causes the plant to change sexual expression. The sexual expression changes because of the silver reacting with the glands that produce ethylene gas ( female plant hormones ) if they can't produce hormones that simply can't female but the gene's don't change you still breed 2 plants with gene's that produce high levels of ethylene.if a plant is a female it only has the X chromosome for a plant to be male it would need the Y. so no matter how you do it if the plant is female it can only produce X chromsome offspring. if the plant is very hermie prone you may produce hermie plants that look male but i havent seen one yet. i have seen females that hermie but not just a straight male.
so yes if you take a female and reverse it anyway stress light or chemicals the offspring will be females

to answer the main question asked hermi expression plants produce a little ethylene not enough to be female and to much to show male or react badly to environment factors and produce high levels stress out and stop. Ether way these are undesirable and you wouldn't want unpredictable hormone producing gene's breeding into a strain unless your growing hemp. High hormone producing plants produce higher levels of thc glands with is why people don't grow male expression plants to smoke.
have you ever made or grew out feminized seeds? i have reversed 3 differnt strains and not had one male yet. Im willing to bet raskal has had over 20,000 seeds popped without any males. Devine gentics, CSI: humbolt here have sold thousands of seeds there is no males coming from female plants. there are 2 alles on each of the chromosome and marjijunan gets a chromosome from each parent male and female, since there is no male parent when you reverse a female plant there is no way to get the Y chromosome. the offspring cannot be XY only XX. If this was not the case there would be reports of tons of clone only males by now.
I feel kind of ignorant, I have to remember. This site sells seeds and frowns on trade of genetics, so this is not a complaint, its an explanation.lino why cant you post it here? A gay gene really? Are you homophobic I gotta ask because how can something that's not male or female be gay or lesbian?
