I Got Seeds

I have a roomful of females.
All feminized.
Not a male in sight.

At Harvest, one of the girls yielded about 20 good looking seeds
Dont know if they are viable, yet

Cant figure, can you

Were the seeds on the way inside of the buds?

Got a pic of the seeds? Would help to see how they look.

Prob going to germinate and be female seeds.

Good luck,

Plants from feminised seeds often react to stress by producing male flowers . . .
The seeds will germinate normally but their progeny will tend to lean towards hermaphrodism more than the parent . . .

I prefer regular seeds for those reasons!

I am in the middle of a self'd round of seeds. 15 planted, 15 hatched, 14 females. I kept 12 but was only hoping for 6 originally which changed my plans. Girls with boy parts impregnant girls with girl parts and I got almost all girls. Bitches will herm on me probably, but whatever.

Turns out I got hundreds of seeds I didnt see.
Hundreds.
Wonderin what stress I coulda put in their pampered, coddled lives
Kept them moist. No drought. Never a flood. LST? Cropping popcorn? Supercropping?
Cant figure.
Anyone?

male flowers in your area some where, even far away, if not hermies.

That's why I'm wary of feminized seeds. The male flowers don't come out until the fourth week of flowering. A lot of times they're only on a part of a plant, normally towards the bottom. The main top nugs won't have any. Three or four balls will pop out of the bottom of a normal looking bud. Unless you lie on your back and look up underneath the plants you will not catch them. A lot of times at harvest they will produce hundreds of tiny green immature seeds. Don't find em till you're smoking a bowl and they start poppin'. One year I cloned a beautiful 7 foot tall golden colored lady. Outside not a single nanner. Brought her indoors and she didn't like it. Reacted by doing exactly what I described. Took me a couple weeks to find the source of pollen. Yanked her and carried her to the door as a cloud or pollen poofed off her buds and got sucked into the fan to blow across all my beautiful healthy 4 week flowered plants.

Look through all the bud/trim for what looks like a cluster of bananas.
Or
Really fluffy buds/look for nanners deep inside.

With a ton of seed showing I would think there must of been a decent amout of nanners showing.
Though a little pollen goes a long way...

How many strains in the grow ?
Were the plants Feminized or just female ?
Have you checked for light leaks ? Just takes a dot...

Anyways..lol..

Ya got seeds to rock and roll with... Nice...

A single male flower may produce enough pollen to produce thousands of seeds.
With forced air-circulation, pollen is blown about to fertilise many female flowers!
Without fans in the growbox, the pollen tends to drop and fertilises only the flowers directly beneath!

Talk about a needle in a bud stack...

I've wondered about the scrubber..
Wouldn't pollen collect in the mesh and possibly seed the next round of ladies ?

A little off subject but I wonder these things.

it doesn't stay active indefinitely, also it will stick as you never turn it off.

Wonderin is what makes us wanna get high.
Smoking ... pondering ... hardly ever concluding

Testing the seeds now.
This will take time.
My understanding is that germination will probably be high
But young plants will be high in hermies.

I dunno
Yet

I bet with the lights on .. go under canopy.. flick each tree.. once u see n explosion.. theres ur hermi haha..

or after u harvest.. ull see the ones that didn't open turn yellow. and ull see them believe a lot of growers here.. it tends to happen closer to the main stem.. usually a branch that wasn't getting much light.. and ull end up finding it at one point. but that sucks.. I have had this happen.. the first grow I ever did.. got some crap genetics that hermied and fucked me hard.
