Yup,ran into one of them,did not use it,but some say it's not a bad trait.(if it makes for higher females ratios,then it's great)

sam the skunkman warns against using hemi'd males to breed. D.J. Short says they will produce more females.

i have breed with a male that threw female pistils and made seeds. i saved those seeds, but have done nothing with them.

but seeds i did get from crossing him with another strain have not shown adverse affects and has only produced females so far.

with that said, i have only grown out a few of those seeds. need to keep popping more to make sure those are not prone to go hermi, but so far i don't think so.
 
found this old post from here also (regarding hermi'd males). don't know if true, need to research the bolded statement more.

i've had the same deal, a male plant starting throwing out pistils after some stress
so i did some reading and DJ's comments on this
a male hermie is supposedly not that unusual, what is unusual is a hermie male that actually sets some seeds, i.e. pistils are fertile and viable
that is supposed to be very rare, but that is the magic pollen
makes crosses that have a higher percentage of females, and are less hermie prone

That’s interesting.
I don’t even think I’ve ever seen a pic of a hermi male .
I got 4 males going now. No hermi’s yet.
Could you stress it with silver? Would it be the same?

i don't know. and i don't know how much truth there is to the theory. as i pop more seeds i guess it will reveal more.

with that said, i don't see why the silver would necessarily get that result. seems to me if the theory is true, its more a trait of the male donor to begin with. but i am hypothesizing...
 
When lights come on I'll grab some pics of the girly boy. It's too late to cull without damage as he's already splurged his loads all over the canopies.

Good news is he doesn't auto flower (positive trait) and no pistils have been found on the same male in the sip cup with bubba or on the plants in veg.(will these stress traits pass onto progeny, not good for ladies)

It may be he is subjected to some light leaking and is stressed or even stressed sharing root zone with other plants...or any number of compounded issues, either way, he's throwing some pistils from the top most flowers.

Nothing that resembles what I'd call a normal "hermy" but a male that has put on some leggings and high heels.. just hope I didn't ruin a sensi crop trying to make seeds and now get a batch of hermies... fuck me.
 
Howdy troops ! Been getting the hands really dirty today. First grass cut this yr. in garden which includes both neighbours either side. ( Important to keep neighbours friendly ). Had to dig out a weed/tree with roots as big as Genuity's !! I had to eventually dig and saw them. Planted my sons flowers he grew from seed at school. Then picked out 2 Honeystomper # 2's, and 2 Dessert breath x Mimosa to pot up and pop into the flower tent. It leaves 2 of each in Veg. I'll let them sex and swap out any males for other's and germ more seed's to keep same numbers.
I'll get snaps done the morrow
 
Quick question;
One of the Guava Ds I pollinated had been in flower a couple weeks longer than the other two I dusted.
The lower branches have seeds bursting but they're just now starting to darken up.
My problem is, this plant is done.

I pulled it off the table this morning because I feel I pushed it as far as I can and its starting to throw a couple of nanners.
If I chop this plant and leave the lower seeded branches to finish can I do so under 400w of T5 lighting? (grown under a mixed spectrum of HID 1ks and 600s)

These pics were taken at 63 days...I'm now at 68 (usually an 8wk strain) See the little cluster of nanners in the second pic

Edited to add: I'm not concerned with a couple of late forming nanners. I know how chems can be if pushed or stressed and should the lower seeded branches throw any there wont be time to form seeds and there are no other early flowering plants nearby. I'd just pluck em like I did with the one in the pic above.

That's what I was hoping to hear. I'd still keep them on the same light schedule. Just less intense lighting.

Should be fine, you could put them on a veg schedule too, with the thing spitting bananas I'd worry about the lowers to start doing the same if left to continue flowering (though it might not.)

Keep an eye for those nanas and should be good.

Mimosa ♂
aka
"reverse hermy"

Declared male that is now showing pistils but very few. Nothing like a "herm" from seed but totally some intersex happening (I'm no breeder/biologist, please correct me where need be)

None of the male pistils (haha wtf) seem to (yet) have taken to seed and the pollen is viable as seen in the last photo, pre98 x mimosa, the whole room is already hit, damage done, time to experiment.

I have him in veg, not sure if any more projects will come with him. Need to run through many babies/crosses/f2 before anything further can be determined.

Anyone here ever heard of Guardian of Eden colloidal silver being used to successfully reverse a female?

I'm 3 weeks into 12/12 but still seeing pistols on the treated branches forming.

This article mentions the hermi male
https://www.cannabisculture.com/content/2003/03/07/2788

I’m going to start trying to reveg plants instead of cloning everything , hopping this will allow me to pop more seeds. And keeps my numbers in check
I got a accidental pack of seeds & I’m going to run them just to try this . Started germinating last night
But I don’t plant on keeping any males from it
