Female turned hermi - Crossing with a female

Id just like to clear things up.

I had 2 females and one of them has turned hermi upon flowering.

The female i have is now pollinated with this hermaphrodite pollen.

Will the seeds from the female plant be feminized, or will they be hermi seeds?

Both are the same strain.

Were planted directly next to each other due to circumstances.

One has turned hermi to pollinate the other i imagine.

They are side by side.

The shorter on is the female, and the taller one has turned hermi.

Now = hermi or femmed seeds? On the female plant??

Thanks :)

I'm growing out two white jones knocked up by ? female who threw ball sacks my last grow. The 2 plants are great looking females about to come down later this week. Yes they should be female plants. Will the offspring hermi also? Don't know but these 2 white jones are pure female and covered in trics. Looking great.

awesome bigal i thought the same thing. just wanted to confirm. woohoo.
Crazy how nature decides to go hermi to pollinate her sexy female neighbour.
thats brilliant.
and the funny thing is.
out of 4 seeds (all same strain), all were female. these two pictured, showed the best traits.
The female there was short stocky thick and so branchy. And the one turned hermi was the fastest growing of the 4, compared to the others was much larger. So i may have some really good femmed seeds out of this?

Thanks for your reply

Use cation as those seeds will likely Cary on that same trait (more hermis)! Which can def cause issues.

When making fem's it appears it's important to use cuts that don't automatically herm, but are then turned w chems ( colloidal silver exc).

The seeds will be feminized and they will most likely carry hermi genetics from the mother hermi. How bad was it? Was it full on sacks all over the place or just one or two areas on the lower buds? Was there a light leak or anything that caused i,t or it just turned hermied itself with no stress?. If the plant was getting some kind of light leak stress and the balls weren't all over the plant only in a few spots I'd used the seeds. If it was just a hermi for no apparent reason, and especially if there were a bunch of bananas and balls all over the place I would probably hesitate to grow the seeds because there would be a high likelihood of those plants throwing balls and making more unwanted seeds on you

wow, really?

I planted them in the same bag.

The pics are in the first post, can you see them? Definitely pollen sacks all over the place.

No light leak, they are outside.

Have suffered from no rain or water for weeks on end, then the occasional drizzle, then no rain for 4 weeks. And they have survived. Id imagine it turned hermie due to this stress and the fact they were planted in the same bag.

Unless it was always a hermie and only showed female preflowers to begin with.

That a hard one. But i guess time will tell?

Blue Sucks, check out the first post and you will see pics

The bottom foliage is expressing female and the tops look full on male thats crazy. I wouldn't keep these seeds.

Mine only had pollen sacks in a few places, not like the plants in your photo, my bad. But, my white jones are perfect females so far at 11 weeks flower.

I stressed a Bubba Kush out my last grow so it hermied some. Not full blown hermie but a fair number of sacs opened and pollinated slightly the other genetics so I debated growing the seeds just to see what pops up. Germed 5 Tahoe OG/Skunk x Bubba seeds a couple of days ago. 3 out of the 5 have just came up and placed under 250w hps to veg. I am very excited due to the fact this is the first time popping anything actually made from my grow. Ill def chime back in from time to time to share how everything's going. Think I'll call it Ocean Grown Bubba Skunk or O.G.B.S. Good Luck!!!
