looks like you got a good pheno...THH from @MadMac repro
It is bought but I will keep hoping anyway hahahalooks like you got a good pheno...
if she stay green @ end...
did u buy or did i'll sent?
i'll ask because only those i'll shared private are selected and the chance is much higher to get a good one..
from leaf style she looks like my keeper...
if she get dreads lately ... than it's 100% like my keeper
thx for sharing!
M.
yes looking very good...
thanks mac ,, hope your right ,,,we like strong lolyes looking very good...
think this will be the dark green with a hint of purple @ end...
those bastards are the strongest..
good feeding... continue...
all the best

according to sam ,,haze dont hermi,,,,,,,,out of macs ,toms and todds only todds had phenos that hermied for meAll those that grow a lot of haze how often are you seeing intersexed plants showing up?.

Not popular i kno, but by culling rouge hermi do I diminish the gene pool ?
For sensi worked lines of course not desirable, the slice of the pie just keeps getting smaller and smaller?
Is there any merit in keeping a OP line and a worked line ?

Flowering plants display an extraordinary diversity in colour and shape. Unlike other terrestrial plants, most flowering plants are hermaphrodites: male and female reproductive organs are situated in the same flower. Yet many flowering plants have a self-recognition and rejection system which makes them self-incompatible, and are thus obligate outcrossers. Such obligate outcrossing species have been successful throughout the evolutionary history of flowering plants. Yet the transition from obligate outcrossing to selfing has been a frequent evolutionary shift. This shift may be favoured if the receipt of cross pollen is uncertain, but is opposed by the negative effects of inbreeding depression that often affect selfed offspring. Interestingly, the consequences of inbreeding appear to be more detrimental to selfed offspring if they are competing with conspecific, outcrossed plants over limited resources. As a consequence, the evolution of self-fertility is more probable at species' ecological range margins. In such a context, selfing plants escape competition and enjoy the advantage of being capable of reproducing on their own. Thus, the tug-of-war between obligately outcrossing self-incompatible and selfing plants has probably been going on since the first self-incompatible plants evolved. The context-dependence of this evolutionary conflict will enable this tug-of-war to continue as long as there are hermaphroditic flowering plants.

if hes back maybe he can touch on this, some of the best lines you ever smoked were thai hermi...why ?
go down the list, check for nanners often on these...
chem
og
sour
glue
etc...
we all know no one wants to smoke seeds, thats not the issue here keep a stable female clone
the issue is one day you end up with non viable sterile IBL seed due to much culling
just a opinion maybe its good to keep good breeding stock? For outcrossing ?
I always wondered why they had a great line that got "tired" and began outcrossing males every yearI've been reading about that. In 1970 most of what we grew we found intersex plants everywhere. It's been something that interests me are we doing something bad by completely eliminating this common trait?. I want to find those specific chemotypes that are no longer seen. Could this be a factor in that? Instead, keep looking in a line until we find a plant that doesn't herm. Not trying to breed it out?.
To cull or not to cull when keeping a line as wild as possible?I disagree all the sativas we grew few and i mean very few had hermaphrodites pop up.
If you did see them they showed up at the time of sexing.
You cull them no thinking needed why would any one keep or use a hermaphrodite ?To cull or not to cull when keeping a line as wild as possible?
Not at all but imagine how much stronger that flower would of been to smoke if it had not seeded and been allowed to continue to produce the goods instead of focusing its energy on seed.People think I'm crazy but honestly one of the best highs I've had came from a hermaphrodite. I often wonder what has been bred out.
I totally agree, but if a modern breeder or grower encountered this these days it would be culled long before anyone ever sampled the high. It wasn't so much the strenght of the high, but its effect that I liked. Not encountered anything since, and this was in the 80s. If this entire variety/phenotype or whatever was hermaphrodite, where would a breeder start?Not at all but imagine how much stronger that flower would of been to smoke if it had not seeded and been allowed to continue to produce the goods instead of focusing its energy on seed.
