Hey umbre , not looking for a ruck of anykind , but i am sorry you have not read the whole thread, my comment was from reading it all ,Of course not, but OP never stated there were other plants.
makes sense to me

I removed all of them that I could see, there were only like 5 or 6. Hopefully it doesn't get any worse, I'll just keep an eye on this plant(and all my other plants too from now on..). Hopefully it didnt/doesnt spread any pollen, I got 7 more plants in the area. I still think itll be best in the end just to keep it alive and pick off what I can, better than losing 1/8 of my crop. A lot of it has already been seeded already by that other asshole plant. I doubt a few seeds will make much of a difference in the end though, this is all for personal consumption anyways.at 35 days narnas are not good, and they are at the top of a cola too at 50 days wouldn't be so bad
he can remove them as they appear if there are not many of them
its a good idea to remember even if you have no other plants
pollen that is released by hemies in the grow area can remain viable for quite some time and pollinate future crops in the same space
a good clean up of the grow space is a pretty sensible idea once that plant has finished
growing out seeds that result from plants that hemi so early on at 35 days is more likely to result in more hemi genetics since these traits can be passed onChop it, what for?. That will still produce decent bud, just seeded. Plus the cross-beans might be an interesting grow.
i agree with you mate, it sounds like you will be able to manage it , but be sure to keep a very close eye on things and clean up well afterwardsI removed all of them that I could see, there were only like 5 or 6.

Thanks for all the advise though guys! This plant will no doubt be some dank ass shit hermie or not
So, what you are saying is a hermaphrodite will pass along hermie tendencies to the offspring beans...yes?.growing out seeds that result from plants that hemi so early on at 35 days is more likely to result in more hemi genetics since these traits can be passed on
not something i would advise
peace
yes ..its a bad idea, the offspring of the plants will inherit similar traits to the parents, so if the parents hemmi at 35 days, its quite possible the children will too,So, what you are saying is a hermaphrodite will pass along hermie tendencies to the offspring beans...yes?.
I am in no way doubting what you say , it's a toughie because i could paste you 100 extracts of info that state it is no myth , god the shits so confusing man , i have always believed it to be true , it would be better if it wasn't , (puzzled expression on face)For years people told me that a hermie mother will always pass along the trait, so I did a little experiment of my own. 2 years ago I had one self-pollinate all by herself outdoors. I saved the beans and used them last year, 20 to be exact. Some were grown indoors, some in the forest. The results were as follows:
16 straight female with no tendencies whatsoever to self-pollinate
3 Male
1 slight herm, and I mean slight. I found 1 seed from an entire 8 foot plant(and glad I did!).
Can we dispel with a common myth now?.
it would be great to see some pictures and records of this experiment sounds interestingFor years people told me that a hermie mother will always pass along the trait, so I did a little experiment of my own. 2 years ago I had one self-pollinate all by herself outdoors.

It could have just been that particular strain, I would certainly be interested in seeing other results as well.I am in no way doubting what you say , it's a toughie because i could paste you 100 extracts of info that state it is no myth , god the shits so confusing man , i have always believed it to be true , it would be better if it wasn't , (puzzled expression on face)
I have a thread with pics, only it's on another board(THC Farmer). I think I can still find it even though the thief of an owner banned me.it would be great to see some pictures and records of this experiment sounds interesting
as for dispelling myths, that's a nice idea, although your 20 plant experiment is interesting its rather short of conclusive evidence
as you suggesting that hemi traits cant be passed on ?
if you consider all other desirable and undesirable factors can be passed on, that is the point of breeding
it would be strange to think hemi traits stand alone and can not be passed on to the offspring

Nearly all female cannabis plants of all strains will self pollenate as a result of being overripe, this is not considered a Hermie gene, just a survival one.For years people told me that a hermie mother will always pass along the trait, so I did a little experiment of my own. 2 years ago I had one self-pollinate all by herself outdoors.

So there is a separate gene for "survival", and a "Hermie" gene...both of which accomplish the same purpose?.Nearly all female cannabis plants of all strains will self pollenate as a result of being overripe, this is not considered a Hermie gene, just a survival one.
If you get a Hermie in early flower or one as a result of stress you are likely to pass along Hermie tendencies because the parent already clearly had a tendency to herm.
Its not a "myth" and your small experiment proves nothing, sorry dude.
wrong. 1st off u dnt wanna use seeds from a herm because the herm could be genetic. 2nd it will do damage- pollination of yr female causing it to produce seeds, causing the plant to concentrate on seed production and not bud production. the buds are still smokeable, but not as potent, smaller yield, and who wants to deal w buds w seeds.Hermies isn't necessarily a bad thing, as it can suppliment future gorws. I'm on my 4th grow; 4 pot DWC and 6 out of 16 plants turned hermie on me...prolly from LST (at least from what I've read). As long as it's not a full male, it shouldn't do too much damage, only tosses off the weight factor... the buds are still smokable and such.
good luck

sorry but yr experiment proves or disproves nothing. the herm trait was in all 20 of the seeds. although in yr case, the 16 female plants had the herm trait only it was a recessive trait. the 3 males had the trait, also recessive. but the slight herm's herm trait was dominant. u were lucky w the 16 females. but the herm trait was there, only it was recessive.For years people told me that a hermie mother will always pass along the trait, so I did a little experiment of my own. 2 years ago I had one self-pollinate all by herself outdoors.
