Exactly! I usually have pollen I collected anyway since I breed already.So you purposely knock up a lower branch with any cannabis pollen, becasue you believe that a fertilized plant wont throw any nanners?
Yep, that's what I'd like to know. Anyone ever seen this?have ever seen a plant thats had a few lowers seeded, herm out on top
I very rarely get them but to answer ur question yes I would be willing to alleviate the risk all together. It would also low me to do a little pollen chucking as well.I'm not saying it's true, just a theory I have that needs more work/data.
But if it is, would you be willing to give up 1 small bud from each plant if it would guarantee no nanners?
Yeah, I can tell you I was *very* disappointed, for a few reasons. It made so much sense, and still does!Thanks Seamaiden. That's what I needed to know. I guess that's the end of that theory. I must just be very lucky then.
I have only had one throw nanners that I've seen that was "el Prego" but she was light stressed due to a leak I was un aware of. But it was only where the light beam struck tha plant. But I've never seen it in an outdoor. @Seamaiden was tha ones you seen in an indoor or out? Ol' Mama cub's got a hypotheses of sound value IMO.Seems everyone goes nuts when a plant hermies. I know that it is just nature throwing in a last ditch effort to get those plants pollinated. Seems reasonable and I’ve seen it happen on several other types of plants too – most squashes and melons will do the same if a male isn’t around to pollinate the girls.
So I was thinking that it’s definitely a hormone thing. And everyone knows a pregnant girl doesn’t ovulate, right? Because she’s already pregnant. I’m talking usual stuff here, not freak of nature stuff. And yes, I know it’s not the same from people to plants – just using it as an analogy.
I began pollinating all my girls, yep, every single one even if I don’t want those seeds. And it doesn’t matter who’s pollen I use if I don’t want the seeds (I usually keep them anyway, or eat them). All I need to do is make sure 1 small, lower branch is pollinated and making seeds. I try to do this early in the flower phase, as soon as it’s possible.
It doesn’t seem to make much difference for the rest of the plant, it flowers like mad either way.
What I’ve found is that I’ve never seen a “pregnant” girl throw out those male flowers. No matter what strain I grow, even if I stress the hell out of them (I’m tough on my girls) and still never a male flower. I’ve even grown strains very well known to hermie and they didn’t.
I’m positive there’s a correlation here. Some hormone in the plant during seed production that keeps it from going hermie.
Anyway, I sure would love to know if anyone else has found this to be true also. Or is there anyone that has a strain with especially nasty hermie traits willing to try it?
Now, my theory is that it will stop herming in “normal” plants. I realize there are some strains with so much herm traits in-bred into them it’s become a dominant trait – most likely due to all the femming being done – not sure what it would do for them.
Hoping some more data will help pin down my theory.
You know now you mention it,i personally have never seen a plant i pollinated(i always only pollonate a wee branch at the bottom) throw nanners.
it may well work with some strains that herm but not others.like sea maidens Chemdog D.
but at the end of the day with no disrespect to anyone,you say its working for you and i would go by my own personal experiences before others advice.
what i mean by that is if you know somethings working for you it works for you and what other people say wont change it so if your having success with something i would continue doing it until it shows itself otherwise.
Indoors only.@Seamaiden was tha ones you seen in an indoor or out?
