Hermaphrodites are males or females that are genetically predisposed to grow reproductive structures of the opposite sex to continue its life cycle. It's not a sex change as hermaphrodism is not a third sex.either x or y, eh? i don't think it's that simple. where do hermaphrodites fit in with this view, then?
Fish and alligators aren't dioecious plants. The fish are hermaphrodites that respond to the breeding environment. In the case of the alligators, the sex of the offspring is set after they hatch is it not? The same is true for marijuana seeds. They "hatch" out of the mother plant with a predetermined sex. If environmental variable come into play, they do so while the seeds are still growing "in the womb".did you know that there is a variety of fish wherein all of the young are born female? when the school of fish reaches sexual maturity the largest female in the group becomes a male and services the other females. there is only one male in the entire group. when this male dies the next largest female in the group quickly becomes the new male.
did you know that in alligators the nest is designed to maintain a very specific temperature and that a variance of a single degree has drastic consequences on the number of male vs. female gators that emerge from the eggs?
Why would you "guess" that? The "tidbits" are irrelevant to the conversation.i would guess that you didn't know either of these little tidbits, and yet you are somehow an expert on what is and isn't possible w/weed.
Environment has an effect on the mortality/germination rates between male and female plants, not the determination of their sex.i don't doubt (or wouldn't be surprised to find) that seeds have a predisposition toward becoming either male or female. but i have personally seen at least one reputedly scientic study (though I am sure there are a multitude) which indicated clearly that environment has a significant effect on the outcome of that predisposition.
