were the original chemdog bagseeds hermie?

[whodair]

since some of the chemdog and diesel strains have herm tendencies, is it possible that chemdog bagseed (from the early 90s dead show) were caused by herm pollen?

if there were just a small amount of seed in the bag, i feel it was most likely a little late flower herm. but if there were male plants grown from the bag seed, there must have been male pollen ?

i like diesel strains, very skunky and potent. and they are very sought after, even though there are some herms present.

ive gotten 1 seed from my rez chemdd, and 5 seeds from soma nycd with no males present. my other strains dont nanner

Alright, growers along the line have made mistakes and taken clones from mother plants that was prone to hermie.
Two friends met at a dead tour in '91, and a pound of some chem/dawg contained 12 seeds.
We don't know how but it made its way down to Massachusetts, a friend of the two guys grew out the seeds and gifted people clones. The guy moved to NYC, and then didn't like the name Chem/Dawg so he changed it to Diesel.
The father of these seeds isn't known but they know it was a male or hermaphrodite that fathered the seeds.

Thats all from the Cannabible Three i just summarized it.
So yes there is a chance your correct, but its more likely some dumb stoners messed up the pure sex of this strain.

The author of this book also says that Soma's NYCD doesn't resemble Diesel at all.

thank you for the reply. my nycd and chemdd seem like cousins to me. both deez for sure !!

No problem, its just tough to say. Soma in my mind is a genius and has done so much for the cannabis industry and medicinal user but Chemdawg is a cut, therefore diesel is, so NYCD shouldn't be in seed form, I wish we could order orginal "elite" clones online.
I personally usually only grow out one variation of the strain I grow out. we shall see!
I love NYCD but if its truly related to the orginal Chem/Dawg.. no one truly knows besides Soma, its an industry.

super skunk funk. mines nowhere near a grapefuit.

If this is true it would mean that it can't really be possible he would of had to cross a male Hawaiin Indica with Cutting of the Diesel.

Diesel or Chem Dawg, whatever you want to call it, the original is only a clone.

Ya think?
Just kidding; I know what you mean.

rez used nycd in his IBL and the IBL is used to make chemdd, i think...so them like cousins.

 

[whodair]

never knew the rezdog used nycd. i know he feels the ny is less potent than his sour. they are both very well liked around these parts, for smell and taste...

i still think there's a hermie in the diesel family tree !!

 

[Bacchus]

The hermies were bred into the strain on purpose.....

If not then why are they still there?

 

[biteme]

on purpose bacchus? i would agree that certain genetics, thai in particular comes to mind, naturally carry a hermie trait so prevalent it is deemed impossible to remove without the loss of plant characteristics considered important to the hybrid. peace-biteme
