Russian Rocket Fuel : Male or hermie?

[happycamper15]

Hey folks,
Few weeks ago I started 3 Russian Rocket Fuel seeds, from .
Started 2 seeds earlier this year, and nothing came of them, as they died quickly due to poor care (got busy, and actually forgot I had planted them! DOH!). Planted the last 3, one never sprouted, and the two I have left seem pretty healthy. I am growing them in a CFL cabinet.

Here is the deal. They have definite sexing signs now.

One is a certain female, here is a picture.

The other, I am not quite sure of. I am upset because it came from a "feminized" seed pack. Is it a male or a hermie? I know this is a novice question, but I know what a males looks like, and what a female looks like, but I am not positive if this is a hermie.

If it is a hermie, I wont be totally upset, as I was planning on spraying Coloidal Silver on it to hermie it anyways to pump out some fem. seeds. Just saved a step if this is the case.

Here are the pics. Thanks for the help folks.

I Vote Male. :-/ keep us posted!

 

[Bighill]

the pics are all from the same plant? If that first pic is from the same plant, i vote hermie, i see male and female preflowers in these pics.

The first picture is of the female plant I have.

The last 3 are of the same plant.

My friend that second picture is a MALE all day long, I'm truly sorry.

Thanks everyone.

Now I am not sure whether to make this a seed run or just chop the male. Might seed a few of the outer popcorn buds, then keep the main cola.

Whatcha think?

i think you should do this. always nice to have a few more seeds around

 

[Mr.Meds]

I Second That!

 

[ChynaRyder]

whenever possible, make seeds.

 

[Bighill]

Yup if you got a legit male there make some seed. If you polinate early you will still get a good amount of seeds, but also a good amount of un seeded bud to smoke.

ya you now have a pure male,, what makes you think it was a hermie in the first place?? there are no female flowers I can see on that plant??

Looks like a male for sure,, so now you can make a seed run with the male and female and get all the seeds of RRF you need.

 

[Mr.Meds]

he said he germd them from a female pack of beans...But It happens, I've had male(s) from Auto-Bud "female" packs =/

ok so it was Female seeds pack,, well the only way a TRUE MALE like that one in the pic from FEM seeds is possible is pollenation contamination. Out of the 1000s of FEM seeds I have made, I never have had more then 2 bad hermies, never males. Ya 2 out of 1000s.

You need to remember most seed banks that offer FEM seeds, offer Regular Seeds aswell, with that in mind, do you have any idea how hard it is to clean all the pollen out of a room that size??? They only have so many seed production sites and those rooms are used for more then one strain. Making Regular seeds and FEM seeds in the same location is not surprizing,, It very well could be old pollen from the last crop of REG seed and contains MALE Y chromo. So, really if you get a true male in your FEM seeds,, you might want to find out how they made the FEM seeds, what process?

OR it could be simply that the strain had a recessive hermie trait present and couldn't take the FEM process, resulting in hermies/males.

ICC.

I am not at all upset. I took pollen from the male and killed it. I planned on hitting up some select buds with it.

Good new though! I am not actually home to tend my plants this week, so I have a family member taking care of it. I will confirm this on Wednesday, but he tells me the plant has outgrown the cabinet, and is extremely BUSHY!

Yea, I am definitely carrying these genes on. I now plan on knocking the entire thing up now! We will see Wednesday!


Anyways, thanks for all the replies! Much appreciated.

 

[Mr.Meds]

i Just got another male out of a female pack, this time it was White Russians.

 

[happycamper15]

Yea. That is the last time I will ever buy feminized auto seeds. Really not worth it, now that I have gained the knowledge of ICMAG!!!

 

[Gene-weaver]

did you pollenate the bush pheno bro??? how is she coming along?

peace peace, peace

 

[Mr.Meds]

Same here... I'm not mad though I'll just cross it with white dwarf, the auto hindu kush and some PPP for fun.

 

[happycamper15]

Haven't yet. I will when I get back on Wednesday.
