I did consider that earlier when I had them all out, but I don't have enough experience to lend me confidence to just do it. Thank you for the affirmation. I will do just that.Maybe consider cutting one or two of these leaves to let the new shoots take center stage and grab more light.....

I'm curious about something that you may be able to help me with: If two plants are healthy, what would be a reason to not cross two breeds/strains (not sure of correct terminology)?

The only reason is if one of your plants is feminizedNo reason not to cross

Nevermind then. My only seeds not feminized were the SSSD. I'll just have to wait it out for now.The only reason is if one of your plants is feminized

If that is the case , then there can be an increased chance that your seed stock will bear more " hermphrodite" seeds , which is a horrible thingThe only reason is if one of your plants is feminized
So most breeders will decide to produce only feminized seeds which result in the " same as mother" feminized seed....
Or they will produce "regular" seeds and f 1 which will give you a variety of phenotypes that can offer you greater choices for " keeper plants " that you prefer , and much more stable offspring with " hybrid vigor" and less chance of hermaphrodites....

But not all is lost , why dont you clone your male , save it for next run , and pollinate the sssd females you find , or better yet , hopefully you will have some females in this run (sssd) and you can do a mini one branch pollination and end up with a bunch of seeds .....

Why are hermaphrodites unfavorable? I know why it's legitimately unhealthy in the human population as the reproductive organs being in chaos can cause a multitude of health problems (not just the obvious ones).If that is the case , then there can be an increased chance that your seed stock will bear more " hermphrodite" seeds , which is a horrible thing

It halts the production of sensimilla buds , buds without seeds , which pretty much goes against every growers goal ....Why are hermaphrodites unfavorable?

And a "surprise" pollination can cause a huge financial blow to growsers who expecting a cash crop....

f1 is first generation, yes?If that is the case , then there can be an increased chance that your seed stock will bear more " hermphrodite" seeds , which is a horrible thing

I don't know where I read it, but if my biggest SSSD should be a male, couldn't I just put a bag over his head and collect the pollen? (Hahahaha! So many inappropriate jokes right now) . Do they just stay in continual pollination or does it go for a certain time period?

But, I want seeds. When I started smoking it a billion years ago, it had seeds. It's a pain in the ass, yes, but I can pick them out without too much of a fuss. I'm all for getting back to basics.It halts the production of sensimilla buds , buds without seeds , which pretty much goes against every growers goal ....
