PLants from a hermie?

[camelstraights]

hi there guys....


I had some Blueberries a while back. Two girls. One was a 3 or 4 foot tall really stretchy, lanky, and extremely crystallized hermie. The other was a very short 10 inch bud that had a powerful odor that would stink up a whole bedroom in a matter of seconds. When you chopped either of them, hash would fall all over the place.... The shorter one had about 30 really nice fat seeds.

The new plants are looking good, but how many should I expect to turn male/ hermie? I cloned two out of seven and they both got brown pistils on them.

also;
Will these plants be a lot like their mothers in the hash amount and odor?

bump.....I wanna know too!

ok was it a hermie...or did it hermie...did the hermie polinate the true female...or itself

In my experience you will still get 50/50 male / female with about 25% of the females turning hermie with ANY kind of stress. If the plant had only pollinated itself you would have had much higher female / male ratio.

I grew these hermie born seeds out this year:

Some of them were the most beautiful plants I've ever grown, others sucked goat nuts. Many of the nice ones are revegging now.

BUT a lot of them turned hermie, and many more seeds were created than I started with. This batch of seeds will become bird food as I think that they will have to much hermaphroditism in them to be worth the trouble...

This is an interesting question that I havent found a direct answer to.
From what I understand tho, if your plant had hermie tendencies and hermied, then youll have hermie plants. But if the plant was stressed and created female pollen then your plant would be selfed. Therefore creating female seeds. I hope someone with a little more info/experience could chime in..... I sure would like to know for sure.

edit: didnt see strainwhores post. Good information there man. So you did get some female plants from the hermied seeds?

i think he's talking about clones from hermed plants... not S1 seeds...

and i imagine that they would/will behave exactly the same as the plant the cutting was taken from...

The plants going now are all from the seeds of the all female stubby plant. They were leopard spotted fat hard seeds.
It was pollinated by the lanky BB.
The tall one did have some seeds, but they definately weren't as vibrant as these. They were all grey, green, and tiny.

feminized and i doubt they will be hermies

Yes, got some real beauties. I will be keeping the best of the best of them after I have time to run cuttings through bloom. Just to double-check their stability and whatnot.

Like I said - there were tons of nice plants from those seeds and many were boys / herms.

They were stressed a bit too, which could have made the herms show easier - I germed in a bed and culled weaklings, potted them individually, turned them over small to check sex, then revegged for about 4 weeks before turning to bloom.

Lots of sexy plants, but some were sativa dominant hemp. Hermie seeds are like a box of chocolates - You never know what youre gonna get!

Wow this thread blew-up!


I did a small test with some of the shitload of hermed seeds I got.... Sprouted them then put ouside in the fall light..... They ALL WERE GIRLS! I never finished flowering them to see if the hermied, but they were all ladies! That left me a glimmer of hope and I still have them for the future!

I have been wondering the same thing after a discovery I made today.

My girls(G13xDiesel clones) are 4 weeks in flower and I noticed some pistils changing colors already. I was thinking wow, these are going to finish faster than what is expected...until I seen a swollen calyx. I see 2 beans at the present time. I haven't heard anything about this strain herming out, so I figure it must be stress related. I don't know from what though. The only places where male flowers are showing is the single calyx at the nodes on the stem. I have two plants that are showing them and found a total of 5 all together. For shits and giggles I self pollinated 2 small buds on each plant and then pollinated two buds on another non hermied plant. What do you all think will be the end result? Hermies?

 

[camelstraights]

okay guys/ladies.....

Thanks for trying to help with my question.
I'm gradually changing the hours on my timer to flowering stage.
Rite now both the 175 watt MH and 175 watt HPS are at 15 hours on and 9 off. I'll let you know how their sex progresses.

I might forget to give an update , but I'll try and give one by the time these babies are chopped and dry.

S.Leaf, my old school blueberry gets little bannana's during late bud and they never seem to make any seeds. So it could be possible slight stress caused them or it is normal for that clone. I have found when banna's come out later in bud usually the pollen is sterile. I don't know if this info helps, but there you go. Good luck!

I've also noticed that if the pistils are old and coloured before their pollenated they don't make seeds.

 

[Guest]

yes if the hair is dead(not from polination) it cant make a seed

 

[reefa cheefa]

Nice Man i have a similar situation im goin to go ahead and plant a few seeds to chek em out. Thanx for the thread.

 

[Guest]

Wow.........finally a thread without all the BS saying "never grow seeds from hermies they will all be hermies"

Nature always finds a way, there is always a chance for something good (even if it's a complete freak of nature) to come from any seed. One of my best plants ever came from seed a Lifesaver plant produced that hermied and self pollenated.

If you don't grow it you'll never know.

Already got three confirmed ladies!!!

 

[cannanaut]

Very interesting thread, nice indeed!!! Keep it up to date! WOOOOOHOOOOO! Peace everyone!

 

[Hella Fella]

Interesting to hear JackBlack, a large majority of the seeds I have also are from a Lifesaver that turned on me due to a light leak!!

Everything in the room XLifesaver!
