For Beginners - Hermies In Action

[OldSkool1010]

I feel your pain. I'd like to grow some of those designer plants that produce big ol' coke-can sized buds, but my bag-seed plant is mighty nice too (if I do say so myself). The real advantage to store-bought beans is that you have an idea of what to expect in terms of finish time and phenotype. Other than that, I'm satisfied with just keeping myself in herb.

can u get rid of hermies
how.
?plz help

[salgjkhaf]

chop them down. if you wanna prevent getting them in the first place, just treat your plants really well. stress and light irregularities cause hermies. it said that earlier in the thread.

my question is i ordered some ww seeds from dr chronic and one of the plants hermied so i harvested all the seeds from that. are these seeds safe to plant and produce females?

Here is my hermie. This is 2 weeks since starting the flowering light cycle.

Pretty much, yes.

Females with that same hermie tendency in their genes though.

Dude, hermie means it is not male. Dumb @$$

My hermie buds have seeds in every single pod on the lower buds, didn't start picking balls off early enough I guess. Good thing they're all super dank purple seeds. Anyone ever tried Dutch Master Reverse on hermies? Anyone know what's in it?

GREAT PICS & very informative! I pray mine are not hermies, but if they are, I will love them just as much.....in a different room! LOL

[NorCaLi24]

good info... you must have a great camera

[BlakenKayla]

hey my question is if you wanted to make homemade feminized seeds i know you mix a hermie with a female but how exactly would you get a hermie?I know its stress but what would be the best way to stress it out without killing it?

[duppy]

i have some questions

what must to be a temperature (12/12) lighting system (hermi time) ?

and is impossible, hermi not coming out ? just plant for leavs, not buds

[FrancZA]

so is it a good idea to cut off the male flowers....? or will i harm the plant by doing so....?

If you are removing leaf and stems to improve air flow and light penetration then it is worth the risk of stressing the plant. Otherwise leave it as it is if its happy.

How can you tell if one particular flower has been pollinated? Other than the fact that the male flowers are empty? Also, is it true that if you harvest a hermie plant, that HAS been pollinated, the remaining seeds will be more prone for female flowering? Since a plant grown under ideal conditions, has no chance of turning hermie(unless it's in the genes) because hermaphroditation(my own word) is usually brought on my stress, whether it be heat, topping, ect? The hermie DOES have more female parts than male, and bares seeds.

If you would like to produce a hermie, dissolve a portion of aspirin into the water before feeding your babies, and it will produce irregular hormones... and there you will have a hermie. this will not affect potency of your crop in any way, it just makes it produce pollen
