Yeah, I've seen this happen too with several different gears. Usually it's a single male preflower or two on the lower branches as soon as the plant starts to show sex, but these are the only one(s) and they never multiply or cause future hermi problems.

It's a tough call to keep a seemingly hermi plant around but the truth is, some of the fem seeds have this harmless trait, and if OJD is saying that a certain line does this but it's nothing to worry about ... I would agree and not worry too much about it.

As far as breeding with fem plants goes, especially ones with these male pre-flowers ... that's above my head, but growing and smoking them shouldn't be an issue at all.

Ohhhhhhhh....... I wish I knew this before, I have thrown so many away!
not even thinking to give them a chance... I guess We Live and Learn

Thanks

ojd,
Do you believe sex is controlled by genetics?
If a male flower pops up early, med, or late in flowering, or in pre-flowering is that because the genetics allow that? Or did the male flowers just manifest themselves from nothing? While maybe less bad then male flowers that do make problems and seeds, I would advise to not use them. They obviously have the genes to make male flowers, and like begets like. The progeny will also.
I have seen this in many many un-feminzed seeds, so many I can not count.
I would be careful what you tell others until you are sure.

I have wondered whether this happens when seeds are from the same plant that was reversed. Like a carry over effect from the silver treatment.. It's a weird one cause the seedling will show a few male flowers early, but when flowered totally female. And clones taken from that plant never show a male flower again.

I haven't seen this in regular seeds, just from fem seeds. And only a a subset of seedlings show it, never all.

Is this an inheritable trait or is it some somatic trait /response to feminized crosses? Anyways, curious to know...

Hey ojd I know this may not be the right place to ask but I was wanting to know if I can still get some more of the Strawberry Dogshit seeds? I grew a couple of them that I got from a friend and it was some of the dankest shit I have smoked in years. I would love to have some more so if you could let me know I would even do a grow log for some if you only have a few of them or whatever. Thanks you can either send me a message or respond here.

Bump.

not always but i usually find at least 1-2 seeds per plant. i don't ever see any pollen sacks, must be tucked away with the innermost budsites so i'm guessing it's an all female crops sort of last ditch effort to reproduce.

i've grown the seeds out if it turns out the plant is a keeper and i forgot to take clones and so far they have all been female and identical to the plant they came from as far as i can tell so it seems like they're pretty good at throwing a just enough pollen to make a seed or two.

This is good to know, my OG Kush cookies are doing this right now.
