so as may be guessed, i had a hermie that i grew out to maturity
fair amount of bud, and plenty of seed
the effect from the bud got my attention, very even keel
definitely good with my anxiety issues, so there are some keeper genetics in there
the strain was brainwreck, which is supposedly an arcata trainwreck x white widow cross
it seems to me there might be some trainwreck dominant offspring in the mix
just my naive genetics question, curious if anybody has had a selfed F1, and tried the seed

You'll get some like the F1, some like the mom, some like the dad and some anywhere in between the two. Kinda like an F2. You didn't specify if it was a stress hermie, or if it just hermed for no apparent reason, so watch for nanners.

I've grown out some seeds from hermie weed that turned out pretty nice, but your mileage may vary...

^^^ thanks for that experience, just what i was looking for
not much stress, so likely hermie by genetics
your experiences seem to be what i've gathered from the other posts on this topic
might be some good seeds, maybe not, but i'm prepared for the risk, 1 plant grows don't have quite the downside with a hermie that a 100 plant grow does

[WelderDan]

Free seeds are free seeds. One never knows what will result from random selection.

Best of luck with your efforts.

Thats not true. What you get, will depend on the F1's genetic traits. Genes are either Dominate hetero Aa, Dominate homo AA or Recessive aa. If the plants skunky smell was dom homo(AA) your plant will have 100% skunky smell. If the plants skunky smell was dom hetero(Aa) your plant will have 25% skunky smell, 50% kinda skunky and 25% something else. The dom hetero(Aa) is where you will have variance.

^^^ interesting, adds a bit to my modest genetic knowledge, still sounds like a crap shoot
since you mentioned smell, the smell was quite different, about 7 weeks of cure
generally smells like some kind of perfume, really incredible smell
which makes the taste all the stranger, which is bad, has a bitter flavor
all my cures have come out with excellent flavor, except for this one, never had MJ with a bitter flavor

[whodair]

grew it and it was an exact copy of the mom...late herm and all !!

[igrowone]

that sounds like the most likely outcome whodair
well, the seeds will keep for a longtime, i did hit a side bud with some male pollen i had freeze dried, might tame the hermi trait

[whodair]

right on homie, the late herm is a beloved trait of the DD, i only get a couple seeds per pound..and having such a nice strain backed up in seed form can be quite valuable !!

peace NY playa !!

i have done a bit of practice on this topic, so an update seems good
i've popped 2 seeds of this F1 hermie
the 1st seed show a nice and very sativa looking seedling
said seedling was gang raped by spider mites that i had accidentally reintroduced into my grow chamber
all parties died when i enthusiastically sprayed the proceedings with too large a dose of mite(and seedling) killer
a second seedling is up, even more sativa dominant looking than the 1st
