Seeds

So on my last run I had 6 plants going 4 Blueberry cheesecake autoflowers (Brother Mendel) and 2 Fro-yo autoflowers (G-13 Labs) . One of the blueberry cheesecake turned into a hermaphrodite. I took it and another blueberry Cheesecake and one of the fro yo and put them in a separated grow area. Trying to figure out if the seeds off the two plants that weren’t hermies are good to grow. Believe the plant changed on me do to light change both in duration and intensity.

Not sure what your question is but if you have Hermi seeds they might keep that trait from the mother plant.

Just weaker genetics,

Not worth the time money and effort to grow out likely hermie seeds. I'd start over with fresh seeds.

Just trying to figure out if the seeds off the 2 plants that I pollenated that we’re not hermies are viable. It was at lot of stress at once that caused it to herm. Out of the of 4 runs I’ve done with the blueberry cheesecake cake I’ve never had a herm. Just switched to a bigger light went from a cheap 100watt to a 600 watt chillledtech and switched the light cycle from 24/0 to 18/6. Autos don’t like stress.

You pollinated females with herm plant pollen? Is that what your saying?

Yes

Oh. Yeah. I’m pretty sure your seeds from herm pollen will be herms as well

it depends on why the original plant tossed nanners. if it was the result of extreme stress due to some type of grower error then it may be worth it. all cannabis will do it if you stress them hard enough. if, however, the plant was healthy and thriving and tossed nanners then I'd stay away from those genetics.

How did herm genetics come about?
i was always told herm pollen make herms. But reversed females Make feminized. Now I’m a bit confused. Lol. Sorry

you are basically looking at three main scenarios.

1.) through mutation or selective breeding you can end up with a genetic line that is predisposed to produce male flowers on an otherwise female plant. that is a true hermaphrodite. they don't produce the little 'nanners' we are familiar with, but true male flowers.

2.) through mutation or selective breeding you can end up with a plant that is extremely sensitive to negative stress (poor climate, pH issues, etc). these plants will typically grow true if everything is optimal but any major stress will trigger rodelization.

3.) lastly you can have great, totally stable genetics and if you beat the shit out of the plant hard enough it will trigger, you guessed it, rodelization!

So if the plant had true male part as mine did that mean the seeds off the other two female plant are not stable?

Did you take any pics by chance? If it indeed produce true male flowers while producing mainly female flowers then yes, it's got hermaphrodidic traits and is likely to pass them on.

That makes me a little sad. You live and you learn. Still have enough to grow and just toss the undesirables that pop up.
