Hermaphrodites

I have about eight seeds I am currently germinating. These seeds are from a very potent hermaphrodite plant of my friends. Has anybody had success with one of these natural freaks? If so is there any advantage?

Hermie seeds will be female, but will also tend to go hermie themselves. Especially if a plant pollenates itself.

only advantage is making femmed seeds.... other than that its all disadvantages.

Alright good to know thank you, are hermaphrodites as potent as a female?

it wont make a difference if they are cuz once its started making seeds it diverts all its energy into that and everyting els goes to waste, herms are bad mate.

there is nothing wrong with herms....mostly good weeed but lower grade...creates seeds to which is nice...youwill still get high so..if u get herm..u can keep growing and get seed...wont haeve to worry bout finding seed........people are too concerned w/ bc bud and aclali buid

i still get high from what people call mid grade weed

The main difference in hermaphroditic cannabis, to
regular cannabis, is unstable genetics.

They carry recessive traits that you may not want.

But seriously, the majority of bagseed and inexpensive
Fem seeds were produced from a Stable Genetic strain
that was forced to Hermi.

Things to be OVER cautious about, that can keep your
plants from going Hermi...

NO LIGHT LEAKS.
Weak genetics do not like unstable light schedules.
Yes, this means that if you turn the lights on in the
next room for a few minutes and there are leaks
into your grow space, your unstable genetic female
make start to produce Male pollen sacks. Don't worry,
they stick out like sore thumbs and a simple pair of
tweezers will quickly extract them. Look for them
at the top of each bud site, and the bottom of
each node.

NO TEMP FLUCTUATION.
Res temps must stay constant and not too warm.
68-72F.
Room temps must be warm during lights on, cooler when off.
If you room temps jump around too much, or get warmer during
the lights off period... Start checking for Male pollen sacks.

NO PH FLUCTUATIONS.
If this happens, the first thing to go will be your lower fan leaves.
They will look horrible, spotty, yellow and brown, dying. CORRECT
the PH issue and/or flush with correct PH. This type of stress can
cause Hermi sites.

^^These three issues CAN cause a stable genetic strain to hermi,
but they WILL cause weak genetic strains to hermi. Just keep an
eye on each bud site when you water your plants.

Look for YELLOW HORNS coming out between Calyxes.

If you have seeds... GROW them.
If your plants go hermi, you didn't notice, and now you have seeds
growing in your bud sites, it's going to take longer to mature you bud.
Possibly several more weeks. But it will still come out the same, just
not as big as it could be, and will dry and cure just fine.

The effects and tastes will not be degraded, and you will have more seeds.
Don't believe the nega-hype.

Good luck.

Aright thank you so much thats really good information, I think these seeds may just be growing In my back yard lol I dont honestly smoke weed just a hobby of mine I just hand it out.. so sounds like a plan..
