hermie questions

[Grumpy Old Dreamer]

I understand this, but should you just throw out your plant (if it's a single) and start over, or can you salvage some small green amongst the seed? If your only plant hermies in flowering, I mean...

No, you don't throw away perfectly good smokable weed.
It won't be as good as seed free buds but there will be plenty of good smoke from the plant, just collect the seeds and toss them outdoors somewhere - free weed for someone.

Brick weed is full of seeds but people still smoke it.

A herm will produce mostly herm offspring. The seeds, unless you want herm seeds, are undesirable by most growers.

They produce feminized seed by spraying a female with colloidal silver, collect the pollen and pollinate another female.

Friends don't let friends smoke brick weed.

okay???
You can stress a pistillate female that will herm, and you can take that pollen and pollinate another female, and get mostly fem seeds, some will be herms as well, you don't necessarily have to use colloidal silver.

If a herm pollinates itself the seeds will be herm offspring, pretty simple... there's an obvious difference.

I don't recall saying you HAVE to use colloidal silver, I'm saying the pros that know much more about this than you or I use that in their process to produce female seeds. I know nothing about the subject actually but I had a plant hermie last grow , got a few seeds out of three different strains, of course I dunno who the daddy is and don't really care, I do have three of these that I germed in a bucket about to hit 12/12 (not because they're ready but because the non-experimental ones are) and I'll certainly let you know the details after its all over and done.
collect the pollen and pollinate another female. another being the keyword you must have overlooked in my post.
christ I had to go back to the beginning of the post to see wtf the subject was and I'm still not quite sure. ah well, happy growing.

hahaha okay man, good info.

What I want to know is if I cut off the male parts of a hermi plant will it stop producing male parts and not end up pollinating itself.

 

[Noballs]

No cutting off the male parts will only stop it if you dont miss any. They will just keep producing more. Just keep chopping the balls off and enjoy whatever female buds are left. Hermies suck but if its your only plant its better than nothing. Oh yeah THANKYOU for serving our wonderfull country!!!!! (p.s.well it wasnt stressed it was the lighting that got fucked up cause my side lighting isnt on a timer. This is probably what stressed your plant,Nice Ol Bud was trying to be helpfull)
