Can I make masculinized seeds

[growsince79]

Never saw this before. Male herm. Will the S1 seeds be all male? LMAO merry christmas.

Unfortunately no because they will also carry x chromosomes in addition to the y. So you will get reg seeds, but I have a feeling you knew that already! Lol

No I don't know. Why are fem S1s all female? The mom stressed and made pollen-right. In this case the dad stressed made girl parts- I think that would make them all male.

I was going to use the pollen to make reg seeds with his aunt. I don't have a place to keep him long enough to see if he makes viable seed. I do think they would be all male though.

Plant those suckers and let us know. I don’t know if a YY male is possible in cannabis. My guess is they would be majority male but that’s not based in any science.

Interesting question bro!

But the males carry both x and y chromosomes. So randomly you have a chance for each gamete to hold one or the other. On a feminised plant they do not carry the Y-chromosome at all therefore they could not contribute it to any of the gametes and you wind up with all female seeds.

LOL at myself. You are correct I had too many cookies and forgot junior high. I'm going to toss the morph and use the pollen anyways.

Thanks for the morning education @Grownsince95 !

Maybe you have just discovered a new and reliable hermie strain... All seeds hermie... Guaranteed.. :-)

Interesting that the plant hermed under stress just as some females do. I never had that happen with a male. Will the offspring from the pollen be more prone to herm?

Plenty of suckers would buy it too!

Is the gene that determines whether or not the plant changes sex when stressed the same in a male as a female. Should I even use the pollen?

Unfortunately I think that interexual traits occur at many places along the genome and we haven't got it all figured out yet. I know it's a fact that males carry more genetic information than the females to begin with though.

My rule is: if I have the time and space, why the heck not?

That there is a true hermaphrodite. Rare and i do t think you want to breed it back in.

IDK it only started throwing hairs under extreme stress. 48 hrs light and broken main stem. Ive had true hermaphrodites that grow both all the time. This is different.

Ok. I didnt know that.

Not sure the risk of using for breeding. Will the female offspring be hermies. I guess I'll wait and see for myself.
