Seed genetics, question about hermaphrodite

I had the same question a while back, I have the Cannabis Grow Bible and in there it says that all hermie plants only give off the hermie gene, they will never be full sensamillia. But when I came to this forum I heard different, people on here have told me that hermie plants give off 100% female seeds. I know that femed seeds have a high chance of becomming hermies, basically if not grown perfectly they will hermie. I also know that the temperature and the lighting schedule can make your plants hermie so I dont think that a seed is either male or female, I think it depends on the conditions of your grow room. I am not a pro by any means though, so I would reccomend listening to someone else. All I know is hearsay. Later

 

Seeds are not pre-determined to be male or female. Environmental factors have a lot to do with whether the seeds will produce males or females.

If you get seeds from a hermaphrodite plant, yes most likely the seeds when grown will hemie on you due to it's hermaphrodite trait being passed on.

Feminized seeds are made from pollinating a female with hermaphrodite pollen so yes there is a chance that feminized seeds can hermie on you.

 

As said before Hermatphrodite traits are most likely due to extreme environmental diffculities.

Even the strongest of females will turn A sexual when forced to change sex for survival purposes, as is the case with many living organisms.

The best seeds come from a strong male but a even stronger female then these genetics are then crossed with a clone from the same strong female genetics and then back crossed with a male from these same genetics of a stable generation.

You see breeding is a whole new level of growing it takes far more dedication and devotion then average growing, breeding is a true art form.

 

I must say much of my seed stock came from a clone that hermied and pollinated some other females and so far I have gotten 100% female ratio with all my Kali Mist seeds. I ran 2 females in 1 gallon pots in a 18 gallon rubbermaid setup and I had one of them hermie slightly as it only produced a total of 3 pollen sacs and I missed one before it burst and I got about 50 or so seeds per plant so it pollinated itself and it's roommate. THe only reason I would say it hermied was because during the 2 week stretch i did alot of pinching and breaking and probably overstressed the plant by doing too much at once. So I forced it to hermie otherwise it would have remained female.

 

Lucky! My latest clone in a line of otherwise normal plants sprouted male flowers because of light changes. The original seed came from a closet grow that probably had an undetected hermie in it. I hope some of the flowers on her get fertilized and make seed.

 

if you want a quicker way to say hermaphrodite you could use intersexed. easier to spell haha

 

So how come we are sold FEMINIZED seeds - at huge expense? They are obviously pre-determined to be female.

To be quite honest I find this whole topic is full of contradiction, mis-information, and plain bullshit. It is hard to get any clear information that has been statistically validated.
