Hey guys,
for the first time in 5~ years of growing, I had a plant hermie on me. I have 40 plants outdoors right now, I used all seeds, and all seeds were feminized.
The strain to hermie was a Berry Bomb (have 10 of these in my garden). This strain has always been stable, in my experience. My outdoor garden in general is a very stressful environment. This particular plant was incredibly close to an extremely hot fence (black plastic), with 100 degree weather all summer. The leaves were slightly twisted, unlike any of the other plants. Eventually, after a short vacation, I came back to find it had spewed out balls and bananas. I bagged it, uprooted it, and removed it from the garden.
Maybe about 10% of my garden is pollinated, with the majority of the pollinated buds being the small larfy inside buds. I have 14 different strains, and I would LOVE if all these seeds were viable feminized seeds. I'll easily have 1000+ seeds come harvest time, and the crosses would be terrific (as I really love the Berry Bomb).
I know feminized seeds are generally made with colloidal silver, so you don't need to stress the fuck out of your plants to get them to hermie. HOWEVER, if the plant hermied on its own, does it make these feminized seeds MUCH more prone to hermie? Or is it basically a 'if you stress these plants HARD, they will hermie'?.
Would you trust 50 of these seeds in an indoor room (5kw of HPS), with stressfree conditions? Or would you throw these seeds away?

lol).. Although if you are growing for yourself.. and are well stocked up on meds.. then the big number tests might be what ya need to find that special elite, you never know. In about a month I will be testing some hermed beans from a recent Cookie Wreck grow.. Im hoping enviro over genetics was the contributing factor, although in CW seems like some found GSC (Forum) had some herm tendencies and maybe a lil from the Thai in Trainwreck.. Hope this helps.. love & light~ djsf
