using pollen from a hermi/or not?

[Guest]

look if you have a strain that was environmental stressed for sum reason was
delicate .does it make it a true Hermie?the plant other wise if grown in perfect condition did not put out nanas . if i cross it to other strains will the off spring produce strong or sensitive strains ?or a combo of both?

IF the original plant had a low threashold for triggering intersex genes, then the offspring will have a high probability of having the same sensitive genes. Crossing a hermie with a stable non-hermie plant will produce a combination of hermie and non-hermie offspring. I have seen this with Thai and Columbian crosses between hermie sensitive strains (Thai,Columbian landraces) and non-hermie strains. What I don't know yet is whether or not the non-hermie plants from the crosses are carriers of the intersex genes, that could potentially show up in future crosses.

but i could find a good plant to use as a mother and not breed it further .just use a a mother to propagate it as a smoking plant not for breeding .

Hermie begats Hermie. Letting a hermie go to flower, will pollinate any sinsemilla crop your hoping for. It's just not worth it...........my .02

If it self pollinated, I wouldn't bother because odds are they will have the hermie/intersex traits.

If it was a cross pollination to a more stable strain, you could grow out a dozen of them with moderate stresses/neglect and see which ones go hermie and keep/smoke the ones that don't.

yea but it was the only male pollen i had .i get a male like maybe 2 -3 a year if i am lucky. so could i use it to use with other plants more stable of the same species. and if i get a self ed male progeny right. and cross it to a same and check in the offspring if their are any desired plant maybe it might be hermi you could hit the jack pot with a desired plant. their are no accident.

Duh......

In my case I'm not worried as I cross pollinated a hermie with a solid strain, and it was SEVERE environmental factors that triggered it (heat) not something minor. I feel confident, the hermi trait won't manifest in the offspring under low stress conditions.

ive crossed a hermie unstable/unknown sat. dominate strain to a hashberry female (which seemed to be a very stable strain) and the offspring blew the original hashberry out of the water with no hermie traits..

so Evan if i use a self male pollen from the same strain just a more stable female .i could end up with a good plant .all i want to do is keep this strain in some seed form .i do not sell seeds this is for my self in finding a good plant out of these genetics.

selfed female (originally a female plant stressed to produce male parts and pollinate itself)= femanized seeds, selfed male(male plant stressed to produce female parts and pollinate itself)=maleinized(sp?) seeds; by theory...
