For Beginners - Hermies In Action

DierWolf · #1 (**permalink**) 06-25-2006, 09:31 PM

Here you go guys, should be stickied i think so New growers can see what a Hermie looks like and how it operates.

Pictures show Hermie Plant (Both Male and Female). Most of you would throw this plant out of your grow area because you do not want it to pollenate the rest of the crop. I personally keep these outside and let it bud out, nothing wrong with it other than it pollenating itself and having seeds in the bud (I'm sure everyone on here has bought bag weed that smoked pretty damn good but had seeds in it)

I usually also collect some of the banana's/Pollen and keep them in the freezer and cross pollenate to make new strains, for instance i pollenated my lower buds on my PPP's and Bob Marleys with Supergirl, Guess i would call them Pure Power Girl and Marly's Bitch

Pictures show the Male Flower Pod (Looks like a Yellow banana), with extreme closeup showing even the Very Tiny (about the size of a grain of taclum powder) Pollen in the sack.

Also shows the Female bud, and hairs that were pollenated by itself and the resulting seed sacks.

Enjoy.

PS (one of the plants from the Supergirl from Nirvana, you could be as careful as god with 100% Fem seeds but this will happen dont care what you do)

Nice! I guess that answers the question about whether hermies can pollenate themselves lol. Could you give an idea of how old that plant was? I'd like to see a picture somewhere in the 6-8 weeks range if possible to determine what it looks like at the earliest possible chance for determining the sex of plants. +rep

I have 2 questions:

1a)lets say I have a really nice plant that I want to grow, but has been mistreated and hermied on me. If I clone this plant will it too be a hermie?
1b)If I start a clone in veg, before I find out its a hermie, will it hermie?

2) Somebody told me that if I self-polinate a hermied female, all of the offspring will be female. Is this true?

I searched around for answers to this, but didn't find any answers to those exact questions. Plus I thought it would be nice to have it centralized in this thread, where noobs, like me, go to get info on hermies.

1 &2) Yes if you clone it it will be a hermie and if you seed it same thing.. b) Hermies are usually caused by stress or lighting issues, so if you have already cloned it b4 you know, but the mother has been through lots of stress there is a possibility that it will be a female.. This is from my experiences..

I recently had a situation where a hermaphrodite went unnoticed and pollinated everything else. Nothing wrong with a couple of extra seeds, but my question is I heard that these seeds are useless. Is this true??? What happens with a hermaphrodite pollinates your standard female??? I hope this is not a total loss.,
