Male to Female hermie?? A few questions...

Hey guys, I just realized my male Lemon Diesel plant starting growing pistils. It couldn't have been stress induced as it's very young still and definitely wasn't stressed.
I was planning on collecting its pollen but, now I have a few questions.

1. Will it be able to pollinate its self now?
2. Is it still a suitable parent?
3. If I use it's pollen, will it pass on a hermie trait?
4. Could it make for stronger females, if used?

thanks guys, any help is very appreciated!:blsmoke:

Destroy it imo. Any genetic offspring it contributes to would likely display if not just carry the undesired traits.

1. Will it be able to pollinate its self now? ....YES
2. Is it still a suitable parent? ....................NO not for me
3. If I use it's pollen, will it pass on a hermie trait? ..YES
4. Could it make for stronger females, if used? ..NO!

dump, and figure out where you went wrong

Thanks for the replies guys! Got the answers I needed.
The seed came from some bud I had gotten. Figured it was self pollinated. Which would also help explain the hermie trait. Although, it could've still been an error on my behalf but, looks like it'll be a goner either way. Thanks again guys!

Someone else just asked this question not too long ago.
Im not 100%but whatevermakes males hermie ithink may be a seperate
Set of genes that what makes females hermie because ive seeninstrains
Like spyder the malespretty muchall hermie andyoudont really have to
worry
About the females oddly enough.
This is a quote from the manhimself DJ Short

"'Backward"hermorphidites aremales that eventually sport female flowers
(as opposedto the usual female to male hermorphodites).These are rare
occurrences, usually sterile but sometimes viable, that I foundtobe
geneticallyvaluable. Manyresinous anddesireable males exhibit this trait,
whichalmost
guarantees against unwantedhomeomorphism insubsequent generations
as it alsoincreases the femaletomaleratioinit's progeny."

So idk about these guys but i would keep him/her and maybe try some experiments
Or not, your call its your hermi :)

i thought I had read something similar to this a while back. Might just have to do some more research before I do anything with it.
If anyone else has more info, let me know! Just gonna sit on this for a while.

i recently had a female go from a girl to a boy then i sprayed it with dutchmaster "reverse" and it turned back into a girl. its got a few more weeks but it looks dank. I think it had something to do with the amount of light that the plant was getting as it was partially shaded, I moved it out of the shade sprayed it and within days she was a girl again

1. Will it be able to pollinate its self now? Unless it's sterile which happens sometimes, yes.
2. Is it still a suitable parent? Maybe but unlikely
3. If I use it's pollen, will it pass on a hermie trait? It will pass on the ability to turn hermie under a certain amount of stress. If this one was stressed significantly it doesn't mean its offspring will turn hermi if not or little stressed. It's NOT a genetic disease that it catches and passes on to offspring.
4. Could it make for stronger females, if used? Maybe but unlikely

It's impossible to answer 2 & 4 with a yes or no without actually creating offspring and testing the result.

idk, i'm a big dj fan, but he kinda contradicts himself here, no? first he says males to girl hermies are rather rare, then he said many resinous and desirable males exhibit this trait,,
so which is, is it rare, or do many males exhibit this trait? can't be both..

Thanks for the answers! I've seen your posts in the frosty buds sect. and was always really impressed!
I've saved some pollen for further experimentations with it!
Thanks for all the replies!

not really, they can be rare( 1of 1000) but to someone like dj im sure he hit those numbers long ago and has seen his share by now. just my opinion tho i dont know the guy personally :)
