Whats a hermie, where do you draw the line? Is a plant that always throws nanners but barely any and at the end of flower a hermie? If I grew the seeds are they feminized or hermies? I get one nanner per bud on the top dead center of the bud. And yes its a nanner, bannana shaped and colored and in a group of around 5 as one "flower". Most nuggs are nanner free. Strain galaxy god bud, its the only one I have that hermies out of 5 , its not the room or grower. I average 30 seeds a pound so its not bad at all. Is this just natural rhodelization? Why are my non galaxy plants never pollenated?

What traits does the seeds have? Can I grow them and experience variety? I have a very strechy plant I want to shorten can I grow a dozen seeds and find a short one? Is there a decent chance one of the seeds are not gonna hermie at all?

Whoa

I know its a lot of questions but I did try to find the answers myself but can't and i'm sure others have these questions. Especially is a plant that throws a few nanners a hermie or is it normal at the last week of flower?

If I grew the seeds are they feminized or hermies (if male flowers is BC genetics, then it is likely those genetics will pass. If male flowers is BC environmental stress, you must reconcile, then if persisting, consider genetics. If male flowers is BC grower input, you must reconcile, then if persisting, consider environmental stress... And so on)? I get one nanner per bud on the top dead center of the bud.

Like me. So im going to stop here.)so its not bad at all. Is this just natural rhodelization (likely no)? Why are my non galaxy plants never pollenated?

I am a perfectionist not a liar. I am many things but a liar is not one of them. People like growing buds not seeds and a perfectly seed free harvest at over a gpw is what "everyone" is looking for right?

[jayjayfrank]

hermie or intersexed female is the question. indoors? greenhouse? iv read that the same genetics may not 'hermie' when grown outside.

as for GPW+ of sensimilla being what "everyone" is looking for, maybe not. unless running commerical. id be perfectly fine with seeded sub-tropic columbian gold, know what im sayin.

as for where the line is thats up to you. you have narrowed it down to the genetics themselves, if you do not want 30 seeds per pound the only way around that would be different genetics right? because its not the grower or the room. so that becomes your call.

also, not all nanners are fertile. iv read some dj short blueberrys shoot 'blanks'.

even if its a sport pheno, i would not invest the time and energy to find out 'how hermie' the seeds might be.

If your plant exhibits both sexual organs it is considered hermy. If a hermy self pollinates you get more hermy offspring with a small chance at a pure female. I f you pollinate a 100% female with thr hermy u get all female offspring with varying traits from both doner plants. U might find what your looking for in a shorter plant then.

True herm is actually a rare anomoly and a sign of weak genetics. Most plants herm as a ditch effort to ensure survival of the speicies( rhodelization). Or stress

I was about to post a similar thread lol. I actually popped a seed from a hermy (bubba kush fem freebie from attitude boooo!) that pollinated a good strain I got called Deep Funk from Bodhi (deep chunk x sour d) so that was a hermy too, so that pollinated a strawberry cough from dutch passion, so I said what the hell and ran out the 2 seeds (strawbubbafunk) found and one was throwing nanners and the other doesn't so it seems after a few generations you start to breed out the intersex traits.

I also have a strain a friend made from a purple urkel hermy that pollinated a Amethyst x (Holland's Hoop x Jamacian) (yes it was spelled hoop on the seed pack and it sucked so we called it that like it was hollands asshole lol) and that threw nanners. I am going to try to run any seeds I find in OTHER plants but I never run self'd seeds.

It is interesting to see a good cross even if you get a few seeds, especially if you are a hash maker, seeded bud is just en excuse for a really big run lol.

you should eat seeds from hermy crosses not plant them

lots of strains shoot a few nanners late in flowering. i wouldnt use the resulting seeds for a crop but rather to find a new mom. alot of hermie bagseed has produced some nice plants. but if your doing a production run you dont want hermies .
