It's common for people to think seeds made with feminised plants are more prone to hermaphroditism. Breeders who use feminized plants all swear there is no increased risk of herms as long as the parentals are stable. There is no increased chance of mutations that I know of. If anything there can be some loss of vigour when using selfed seeds, due to inbreeding.I'm just sitting here with my morning 'joe and my mind started wandering.. reversing and feminizing is monkeying around with Mother Nature's playbook. I wondered if this screwing around would introduce some type of weird mutations or increased possibility of hermaphroditism.
The only dumb question is the question that goes unasked.
If I had known this is what you meant I wouldn't have bothered trying to give you a reasoned answer. Using regular or feminised seeds should be a choice made based on personal preference or convenience, not politics or religion.Now, when reversing a female into a male is it hypocritical for a Conservative to do such a thing?
Wow, man.. I surmise that you dont have much of a sense of humor. My OP was a serious question. My follow up post was an exhibition of my comedic talents.If I had known this is what you meant I wouldn't have bothered trying to give you a reasoned answer.

Not reversing plants because they are "trans" and that would make you a bad conservative is just fucking weird and I would check your french vanilla coffee creamer for traces of LSD.
Offended? Now that's funny. Fair enough if your original question was serious Just seemed like a weird follow up after my 4 paragraph answer.Wow, man.. I surmise that you dont have much of a sense of humor. My OP was a serious question. My follow up post was an exhibition of my comedic talents.
Apologies if you're offended.
I agree with @revegeta666 except that I would say that they routinely lie about stable parents, which is why people think poorly of it at times, or at least that’s my perspective. A lot of my younger friends have had issues with some of the random fem lines being unstable.
He means sexually stable.Stable as in phenotype or sexuality?
You should be fine. If anything, there would be more risk of hermaphroditism due to the Thai genetics, than feminisation. As @igrowone said hermaphroditism is a natural part of cannabis that has been bred out over time, but Thai lines are known for these traits being triggered easier than most others. If you grow pure sativas indoors, hermaphroditism is not uncommon and something you get used to. But Thai especially.See, what is bringing me to the (serious) question is that I have a Thai A5 Haze (fem) that I am growing fond of. I'd like to hit her with some Kona Gold IBL dust. I was just wondering if there will be some bizarre things happening in the future.
YesHe means sexually stable.
Personally I don’t breed with fems beyond one or two seed generation for easy flower production, and then once the seeds are gone you start again from regular parent stock. I thinks a useful tool if used appropriately but I agree that female only breedings is going to tank the genetic pool eventually. Males have always been necessary and breeders dont pay enough attention to them as it it, eliminating them entirely is just troublesome.Imagine the worst case scenario was true - generations of female only breeding lead to weird, weak plants, solely because the male plants carry some hidden set of genes necessary for the plants to stay 'normal' over the generations.
Even then, you'd have a very simple strategy to rescue your line, preserving as much of the directional work you've made as possible... outcross with a male!

Lol non taken man. Sounds good to me it’s definitely douable over time.I was thinking about dusting the fem with straight male pollen and then just work a line the normal old fashioned hetero way .. (again, no offense intended to anyone in general).
