will my seedling turn hermie from stress?

[bombdotcom]

hey guys last week i sprouted some seeds in rapid rooters, and i went away for like 2 1/2 days without watering (someone didnt water like they said), and i came back and my rapid rooter was dried all the way through and the seedling looked like it dead. I teared the rapid rooter in half and i noticed the bottom of part of the roots are still white and chillin so i gave her a big dose of water.

Now a day later, she has stood back up (shes only like 1/2 inch), and shes no longer brown and dark, shes starting to turn green again and looking like shes recovering. I think shes going to survive...shes white berry feminized from paradise seeds do you think she will hermie on me or was it too early that shell be fine?

i know her growth is stunted, but that should just be temporary for a couple days and then she should recover correct?

If it's looking alright now, then it should pull through and survive just fine.
That stress at that early of an age probably isn't enough to force the sprout to go hermie.
However, it's a feminized seed, many of which will show their hermaphrodite heritage late in flowering.

The female that was selfed to get the so called "feminized seeds" wasn't a true female if it made the nanners used all by itself.
If it was done chemically to a true female then that's another story.

However, IME, most females from feminized seed WILL show their true herm'age late in flowering. Even if by just one lone nanner.

hth

Sure a fresh sprout that hasn't been stressed at all may be more vigorous growth wise.
It's still going to have the tendency to show you some nanners in mid to late flowering though.

nanners...do you mean seeds? ty

Male pollen clusters = nanners

No, male stamens or 'flowers'.

The word "nanner" is sort of a slang word for a male pollen pod formed on what is mostly a female plant making female buds.
Because they look sort of like a banana and can be just one single "nanner" sitting on/in a female bud, waiting to pop open and pollinate the buds without the grower ever noticing seed formation until it's too damn late.

Sex expression in cannabis does not exactly follow simple Mendelian inheritance. It seems it is not as simple as XX and XY. I don't believe there is any such thing as a true female, or true male. In my opinion, these are dream-terms that would be much more accurately described as plants landing on top of a curve, requiring maximum environmental intervention to flip. What matters is exactly where the parent/s/ancestry landed on this curve, as apposed to the method of breeding. The fact that environment can affect the outcome at all clearly seems to place cannabis sexual expression in the arena of quantitative variation. I don't think anybody can give you an answer to this question or even offer an educated guess unless they personally have extensive experience with this particular seed lot under various levels of environmental stress. Bottom line - you have to grow them out to find out how this will go amigo.

oww ya got me cannafriend...you are very correct

Yes...it's complete speculation on my part whether or not a seedling from a feminized seed will have a "tendency" to throw a nanner. My opinion comes from my own built in prejudice based on past exp, 'IME" with a few feminized lines and is NOT in any way representative of all the feminized lines out there.

I'm not even aware of which strain or origin bombdotcom's current seed came from and I surly cannot come near having a seed breeders experience on any particular strain at all.

So this statement is somewhat biased...

However, IME, most females from feminized seed WILL show their true herm'age late in flowering. Even if by just one lone nanner

But in my defense... I did say "IF" here...

The female that was selfed to get the so called "feminized seeds" wasn't a true female if it made the nanners used all by itself.
If it was done chemically to a true female then that's another story.

I do see where even that statement with the "if" falls short too. As you explained the maximun environmental intervention thing too.

But all told...you did a much better explanation regarding plants from feminized seed...
Like you said... "bottom line - You have to grow them out to find out how this will go amigo"

Thank you for explaining that cannafriend.
