Post Breeding feminized seeds from clones
i took some clones of one of my current plants thats growing and i stuck them out side in dirt/grodan and they had lived but because i didnt really take any care of them they turned hermis. i just whent out today and look and there was open seed pods on the hermis.. is that a feminied seed of the original plant ?? the clone only grew for a little bit and made flowers.

im really hopeing that seed is a feminized seed of the plant because it was from some good shit, and you can deffinatly tell from the other plants i have going that it is better, tons of bud sites, covered in crystals, nice lemon menthol smell...

would the stunted clone effect the outcome of the seed it produced ?? with that plant be gentically hermi or stunted ?? the original plant is the bomb...

ps. if i collect the pollen and put it on some of the buds that are finishing up right now would that make them feminized ?? they are in the last week of nutrients and i was going to give them a week of flushing (even though it hydro). is that long enought for the seed to mature ??

I've read that you get feminized seeds from hermies...

yeah but what im really asken is will the stunted clones effect the outcome ?? i dont want a stunted or hermi proned seed.

and/or do i have time left to make new seeds with the week-2 weeks i have left on the mother and the hermied clone.

so far i have 4 from the clone that hermied and pollenated itself. it only got to be able 8 inchs tall, are those seeds good to use ??

I think all you have to worry about is genetics. If the stunt was due to a genetic defect, your seeds will most likely carry that genetic defect. If the growth stunt is attributed to environmental factors, the genetics of the seed is not altered.

As far as making new seeds, I heard it takes about 4-5 weeks to get mature seeds. The seeds will display pretty much the same characteristics the mom does.

sweet von the mother plant is huge and branchy, covered in white and have a menthol/lemony smell. it was from a few seeds i got from some dro i was selling years ago, only 1 of the 5 seeds sprouted and its bomb. the clones i took grew roots indoors and then i placed them outside. thats when they turned from female to male after a few weeks. i didnt really feed with anything and they were not in optimal lighting so it never really grew.

i would have asked this in chat if anyone was there, i dont feel like this needed a thread made, but ohh well.... we need more people in chat.

kona - what if i use the hermi pollen to pollenate the mother the clone (hermied) came from.
thanks.. for the reply.

This is a quote from J-Mans grow which I thought was a very good explanation of that question you have there Shugarbud.


J-Man quote.

"It did seem to cause a bit of stress, and needless to say, they didn't yield very much. However, because they were stressed they threw bannanas. So I was able to get some feminised seeds from a couple of them. This is one of a few common misconseptions that people tend to have about feminised seeds and how their produced. Alot of growers think that if you stress a plant, that it may become a hermafrodite and produce feminised seed. However, what actually happens is that a female will sometimes, under certain circumstances,
produce a single little (bannana shaped) pollen sack, sometimes they come in groups but they are not male flowers. They are Female pollen
that a Female may produce as a safety mechanism to insure reproduction. If a female plant produces a true Male flower, even just one, then that plant is not a Female. It is a gennetic Hermafrodite. I think it was once thought that, if a gennetic hermafrodite produces seeds that those seeds would be mostly feminised. However, this is simply not the case. They will all be gennetic hermafrodites wether or not they show any male flowers at all. In order to make true feminised seeds, you must have a Female that "selfs" itself. Selfing is the term for the process of creating true feminised seeds. Anyway, on with the pics. :wink:"

maybe you could get most hermies and maybe a few fem ones lol but i still think if it hermied cause of its genes then it will make hermie seeds

Hermi pollen is junk. You are just continuing a pattern that is not desirable. The trait will be passed along = inferior genetics.


as the man said 'JUNK'.

if you are taking pollen or seeds from hermi plants, yes you can get fem seeds, but you are going to get a shit load of the hermi genetics as well, not worth the time or the effort. IMO
