Male, Female Or Too Early To Tell?

[HoldenMcNiel]

Do you guys think this plant is male, female or is it too early to tell?

 

[G gnome]

Definitely a male

 

[Mr.jiujitsu]

It’s poppa

 

[PompanoPatty]

Yep. Just discovered a hermie in my first grow

 

[Ar.BsG]

That blows but at least you caught it .

 

[PompanoPatty]

Yes and it was my last one still growing. I messed with it to much and stressed it. Live and learn!

 

[PompanoPatty]

I posted this picture on the photo of the month contest. Pretty happy overall for first attempt.

 

[Ar.BsG]

Nice bro ive found its good to be happy but optimistic with grows so that you countinouly question yourself about what you could've/can do to make your yield, thc content, and/or environment better .

You can tell by the small round pollen sacs in a small cluster where the leaf sets are at

I think I forced a hermie too. Did you know though that when you do that since the plant was originally female it only has X chromosomes and will only pass X on making the seeds XX or feminized and since you forced it as long as you don't force the next it will probably not herm on you.
Just an interesting fact I learned

I had read something about this but it talked about producing your own seeds but didn't realize that they would be fems. Does the auto genetics also continue?

If you can get them to produce viable pollen they will. This is how they get fem seeds, but in due fairness, i think, they don’t herm a plant and pollinate the same plant with that pollen but rather pollinate another plant in order to further eliminate the hermie tendencies.

Okay. Thank you. I am just starting to learn to grow.

Mazol tov, it’s a boy

If you use those seeds, you have high probability that you will grow hermies. You can goggle that, and how feminized seed are produced. There is 2 different methods and neither involves using pollen from a hermie plant. :cool:

When you force a plant to grow sacks with chemicals, i don’t think it increases the chances of hermie but if a plant hermies on its own then you are correct it will have a tendency for sure.

Yes, from what I've read, the chemical is one of the two methods used. I'd have to goggle the other, but it has something to do with very late flowering. :cool:

Yes, the chemical method is what I meant by "forcing" the herm in which you do use it's pollen. That's what I was referring to. If the plant is originally female and non-predisposed to herm (normal) it will cary and transmit only X chromosomes (XX) not XY which Y is the male so the resulting offspring from those seeds will be female and if chemicaly forced will more than likely not pass on the hermaphrodite trait.

Yes. That is how I understood it to work. I thought you meant using beans from a feminized plant that went hermie. My bad. I even looked up how to order the chemical and how to use it sometime back, but memory fades.
