7 week flower/ great buds/ became hermaphrodite

[xtsho]

What are all those white specks on the leaf?

Should I harvest still? I thought the plant could grow a bit longer. I was told these seeds were fast flowering, not autos. What should I do? Buds look decent with good trichromes.

Is that plant throwing balls all the way to the top? I cant really tell from the pics.


It looks like its between week 3 and 5 of bloom which is when intersex traits usually show up. If you're only finding a few sacs on the bottom lowers you can pluck them off. Use tweezers and a cup of water. The water will denature the pollen.

They didnt start using reversal spray until recently. The old methods were to stress a plant, wait for rodelization and collect the pollen.
And yes, they will be feminized. XX chromos

Okay. So. Herm plants pollen create feminized seeds? My main to the point question

This^
If they’re only at the bottom just pluck em.
Watch the rest carefully.

There's a difference between a true hermie and a plant that throws nanners. The OP's plant is a True hermaphrodite.

You definitely don't want seeds from a true hermie. You'll just end up with more true hermie plants. This type of hermaphroditism is not caused by stress like nanners are.

Some strains are more prone to throwing nanners than others. GSC is one strain of them. My Green Crack won't throw any no matter how much I stress her out.

And I think seeds from nanner plants do make feminized seeds, but I don't think they're as stable as if you reverse them with silver. I can't say for sure though.

I do know lots of awesome strains came from accidental pollination and I'm sure some were from nanners. The Chem strains for example were an accident. Chem is also prone to throwing nanners, but not quite as easy as GSC.

That’s what iv been told And the info Iv been going off of.

Yes to my knowledge almost always. In nature man there is no such thing as male plant the ones we have have just such dominant of that gene they are know as males their pretty much useless genes and are hard to find these days with so much good breeding techniques. And so so so many genes available. The best way to make this happen like make a completely female dominant plant produce seeds is to make you RH super high high humidity will almost always produce couple sacs and up to ten seeds per plant. You can achieve this and still have very potent smokable flower. But it’s not recommended man and stress you just don’t need. Seeds are becoming cheaper and cheaper. There is no such thing is a male plant people will argue this till death but it’s just nature’s way of reproducing man. If you think about this occurs in nature each and every time. Bud come out of the ground if temperatures are ideal the plant produces seeds right before the season ends and if it doesn’t freeZe for too long those seeds will pop out of ground start of spring the following year. It’s routine procedure.

All female cannabis plants have the potential to "herm".
Some just display intersex traits very easily and in higher numbers. (landrace sativas for example)

Also remember if you want to learn this technique begin the stress week twin of flower and stop two to three weeks later. Pretty much till you see the pollen sacs coming in.

There's no such thing as a male plant? , What about this?

Wait....what?

How fucking high are you on a scale of 1-10 right now?

Not looking to argue this, there’s no point.
It’s simply not true.

 

[bk78]

Yes totally man read my comment above. Your fine. You can pick them off with your fingers but your better off letting them develop and get some free seeds. It may have been humidity man. If you humidity stays above 60 in flower that will happen.

I must grow miracle plants then. I keep my RH 60+ full cycle and never seen a sack?

that’s awesome man I wish I was lucky like that. Might be the genes I chose. Also most books and master growers advice otherwise. You are a magician ma friend. Hats off to you.

I was thinking GG4 was one too. These guys explain hermaphroditism pretty well.

Hermaphroditic strains - The weed nobody wants

Today we will talk about hermaphroditic strains, a disease many growers suffer, that is consequence of absurdities made by others. Unfortunately the word hermaphrodite is included in cannabis dictionary, as it happens more often than expected, throwing away efforts, money and specially time...

Can you link me to said book or articles from said master growers?

More than half the cannabis books out there from so called Master Growers are full of broscience nonsense. And just what the hell qualifies someone as a master grower? A following of naive growers?

Some of us prefer science over these Master Growers you refer to.

Cannabis sativa L. (hemp, marijuana), a member of the family Cannabaceae, is a diploid (2n = 20) outcrossing plant which produces male and female inflorescences on different plants (dioecious).

I think he was referring to canucks youtube channel.

The only master growers I have listened to have been Renfro and Bruce Bugbee.
