As far as I know hermaphrodite is genetic. Some hermies express this trait easier than others. Forms of stress help bring the hermaphrodite traits forward but only if they already exist in the plant to begin with. This is the way I understand it. I could be wrong.What's growing on everyone...Nugsy here with a couple of questions and concerns about about sexing.
Well we know we all want females, for budding of course. Then we have males for pollination. And lastly we have the combination of both Hermaphrodites or Hermie for short.
I feel like someone needs to explore the Hermie plants for further inspection. (Not me lol).
Sure there info and I've read just about everything I could find on Hermie's. Yet I still feel like more could be explained and tested, just so we could be sure of how to avoid them.
I know hermies can be influenced by sooooo many variables its crazy. From bad genetics to bad environments.
What exactly rules out bad genetics?
It seems to me that Hermie's are what gives us feminised seeds. Using a foreign toxin to the mj plant on 1 area or branch causes her to pollinate herself. As to which in my eyes is the same as simply having a light leak during flowering period.
So how could Hermie's be ruled out?
Suppose you grow a female from seed and around 8week in flower...Nanners!
Does that mean she's a Hermie from start? Or is it that in their true environment they would have been pollinated by males long before?
Another question.. Suppose you take that same plant and harvest it before it pollinates but....leave enough foliage to reveg. Would that plant grow to become a Hermie ?....or would it grow as a female as it started before?
I have many questions with info unavailable. I'm reaching out to my fellow growers for answers?
And I have a plant that is in question.

Pics 4&5 have nanners, and also looks like some female "hairs" near some of the others nodes. I don't think there's much sense growing that plant out.
As the other plants show sex, just keep that in mind what your looking to grow, a nice harvest, that only happens with females. Good luck.
side note u don't have fem seeds from herm u want the purest fem u can find and add silver to the fem plant making it make its own seeds then them seeds will be a pure fem
herm plants going to make herm seeds lol
My dear friend Tinder, I thank you for you input...let's chat.
We can sit here go on and on about from and herm. I'm saying there is no such thing as a pure fem!
I say this because....You make a silver solution that is Foreign and Toxic to the plant. No matter how you look at it it makes the plant Hermie with its own pollen and pollinate itself...correct? Well that is a Hermes Plant. Just the sane as having a light leak on one branch that one branch will herm and pollinate itself. So its still a hermie
That still gonna pass on that trait to the offspring. So tell me how could you rule out Hermie's if thats what we all are growing.
I think your environment an genetics play major roles in obtaining nanners but as far as I'm concerned most plants are already herm it just takes stress to bring out the nanners.
So how can you obtain a pure fem seed from making them herm with a toxic solution to pollinate herself???
no such thing as a chick with a dick only a dude with tits
I would throw it away. It's a herm and will always be a hermI understand that part very well but I'm wanting to know. More as I know the plant in question is a female....I flowered it for sexing and then reverted back to get....and manners came about.....Should b due to the light schedule...the plant is now stunted and not growing much because she's not under 24hr light.
if u know all this why u asking about it???? and as u said some times this can happen I have not had it happen on any of my plants after weeding out the bad plants and I have left plants setting in full light for a week after pulling them out of flower
you ever look up the swazyland strain??
I would throw it away. It's a herm and will always be a herm
I'm not sure exactly the science behind herms but from my experience a herm is always a herm. Although some are more prone to produce nans than others. Personally I have a zero tolerance for herms. First sign and they're pulled. Too costly to mess with in my opinion. Unless you are brand new and need to learn first hand how crappy herms are I would just dump it. :)I have a plant in question... But she started as a female....I have plucked the nanners and reverted to veg more pistils appeared but I wonder if it will Hermie again in flower again?
I will conduct research an tests myself to see what happens.
I feel like not much us known about herms. We need to know more to avoid getting more of them.
