Everyone says herms and males are bad but since i love to grow, i think its lucky as you can benifit from alot of seeds, which most of the time turn into females so you basically get a few free years of growing, instead of paying 30 bux for 3 seeds
There are two known types. The ones that actually grow full on pollen sacks & the ones that just grow (stamens/nanas) and usually will only lead to seeds in the actual buds they occur in. If pollen sacks are produced they can pollinate your entire crop very quickly. I.D. those plants early and destroy them away from the other plants.
We are constantly bombarded with the cause being light leaks, they go as far as saying the glow from a power strip too close to a cracked vent. My question has always been unanswered as why the moonlight wouldn’t cause it to herm. There have been answers that the moon is so far away. I believe your answers are correct, stress or genetics are the root cause of most hermaphroditism.
I wounded the same as I was looking at my ohio outdoor crop that's weeks away from harvest I have 1 plant that too on alot of street and I plucked a bad flower that a worm got too and there was a fully developed seed in it im sure the rest of the plant has seeds in it will it be OK around my other lady's or should I remove it im a lil worried about it as I don't want it to seed out the others what's your thoughts
@@DeBaccoUniversity respectfully i disagree, that might be the schoolbook explanation, but there are light leaks in tents our eyes dont really see but the plants "allegedely" do, and we can see moonlight so they should see it too i personally think its because the moon does not reflect sunlight but its its own light source, which does not cause harm to plants, they like it, but thats another conversation.
If you start your grow from seed outdoor it is harder to herme. Seedlings grown outdoors become accustomed to the stresses the environment brings. Indoor grows are a huge gamble regardless of how good you are and can completely wreck an investment. Always grow outside.
I propagated a cannabis plant from seeds from a wild plant in my home town, and at first it showed magnetic characteristics, but after five weeks I found pollen sacs on the top of it, I only have this one plant, and I was wondering if I can get rid of the pollen sacs? If I get rid of the pollen sacs will it still be psychoactive? Can I light it up in the future?
@@DeBaccoUniversity Thank you very much for your answer. I think I have mastered some knowledge about plants. I was unable to reply to you in time because I don’t have the Internet! Thank you for your help! I wish you a happy life!
I have a question does alien x gorilla have more or less herming tendencies as gg4 gorilla glue #4 purchased a bunch of seeds n dont know if i should even bother planting them please lmk thanks
I grew one of those herm seeds I assume, initially I thought the sprout would die since the seed condition appeared less than robust but it ended up growing 6 ft and filled three gallon sacks, the other herm seed I had grew very fast and healthy but became male very early
I have never had these sacs and still they hermie. I have been told it’s due to light pollution at night. They show all the signs of being female until I notice seed in the flower. So frustrating
I had a few plants that got light stress (power strip light shining thought vent....dope) and threw just a few nanners that I noticed during trimming and a few seeds. Will those seeds be hermaphrodite or will the be worth growing?
Is there a benefit to it? As in if a plant can be "forced" to go Herm, will it's seeds be normal, or will have damaged genetics leading them to be Herm's?
Peace, I have an indoor vegging female until I topped multiple and trimmed now have these sticky sac looking (I had a male and its not seed sacs) ... she looks healthy but is she stressed and do you believe if I just lay off for a few weeks all will be ok ? Thank you for your knowledge, this is my 3rd plant that survived lol I love it ✌🏻💚💨💨💨💨Stay High
I think I have the same as you it almost looks like it should be seeds like sticky pods but when you open one up it's nothing 🙏 I'm hoping it goes away .. all the buds look normal and beautiful 🤷
I harvested and found a small cluster of hermie male flowers at the base of flowered stalk and they were opened. Will the seeds from this accidental pollination carry the hermaphroditic trait or possibly be viable genetics?
Usually if it's just a few nanas or even a few sacks one one plant it is stress related. But that said, different/phenos/strains will react differently and handle stresses worse or better. So yes it's stress but it's also related to the genetics too.
I have 6 straggly plants (beginner!) outdoors and one of my best is a hermie. I have been grooming the plants to remove leaves showing Septoria browning (also treating with Trichoderma) and to identify and remove the little white buds. Is this enough or do I have to isolate the plant or should I just destroy it? Is there a spray to 'un-hermie'? Thanks very much for your posts.🙏💛💙
I planted a seed this year from my hermie from my last grow and it also hermed. My question is can a hermie get pollinated from a male plant as well or with it only pollinate from its self and have female seeds.
Whats the difference between a silver nitrate induced herm and a stress induced herm ? Why does the stress induced is the only one that passes the herm trait?
Hello. When do the seeds ripen after removing a banana? Also, will it pollinate the other plants in the tent? If I cut it when the normal harvest time comes, will the seeds be ripe? I want to take his seeds while he is a hermaphrodite.
Look for the dark ran/brown coloration to the seed coat. Yes, one male will pollinate a full grow tent, room or even large number of plants in an outdoor setting so be aware the grains are very small.
Grew gg#4 , grew a few sacks in week 3 luckily I picked them off and watched closely till it finished, best plants I ever grew, found 1 seed out of 9 ounces.
I haven’t grown in over twenty years, and only ever used the seeds I could scrounge up from good seedless (almost) bud. My experience was similar. Often they’d herm out, and only real bad occasionally. If I was persistent and patient enough I could usually stay ahead of the “guy parts” and keep from making too many seeds. The work was worth it though and the product from those plants was often amazing by the standards of the day. I’m sure given the almost extinction of prohibition and proliferation of seed banks since then the product coming from the seeds available for outright purchase (a privilege I didn’t have then) would blow my mind”old head” mind.
I accidentally left a lamp light on in my grow room during 12 hour dark time last night. I noticed it when I was checking my dehumidifier before work this morning. I'm just looking for peace of mind. It's been almost three weeks since I flipped them into flower I haven't defoliated since then so their canopies are a little excessive, and they are in a tent so the only light would have been through a ventilation screen on the bottom of the tent. Should I be concerned?
@@DeBaccoUniversity this plant has 1 limb producing male pollen balls.The rest of the plant is budding.I have another plant doing the same thing now.If seeds are produced on these 2 plants will they be female? Thanks for any help/advice.
what about Ethylene? i have seed plants (regs) in flower and they have some herm-trates. what about the clone run or the 2nd clone run? do they have more female hormones and so less herms? im looking sexual stability ^___^ regards and love!
If you stress a plant making a hermaphrodite will the seeds be hermaphrodite what about the seeds from pollinated non hermaphrodite plants in same room
Should we not be defanning in the flower stage? It's one of the topics where some growers swear by and others curse. Im worked at several different grows and have been told different things. it would be nice to get your input.
Man I just put in 20 seedlings every year...pull the males and let the others do what they want and never mind if they go hermi. The thing I disagree on is that they wont be as potent after all the good stuff they produce is inherently produced to protect the seed...True?? I am open to the thought that it may be better to harvest earlier rather than later if wanting viable seed isn't the objective thus getting the most potency that the plant was able to produce in the first place as to the law of nature. So my question would be...Is that an appropriate assumption?? I only seed and grow outside , nothing fancy.
I can say without a doubt a hermie female will produce all female seeds but will inherent hermaphroditic traits. im looking at a 60 40 hermie to female ratio. thats the price u pay for cutting corners though.
Everyone says herms and males are bad but since i love to grow, i think its lucky as you can benifit from alot of seeds, which most of the time turn into females so you basically get a few free years of growing, instead of paying 30 bux for 3 seeds
Making the best of the situation!
Great weed from tent grown hermie buds...seems like the people that recommend destroying them are the seed sellers.

Moonlight is not enough light for plants to "see". However, there are other things to consider that can induce flowering.

Lol I grow indoors and always have major Sucess Outdoors i just wash for making hash.
Should not make a difference as it can come to plant stresses that the growers can unintentionally induce or not correct.

You can remove the male flowers as you see them, however if all the flowers are male you will not get a harvest.

Some crosses do seem to have increased odds of this issue.

At least you got it to germinate.
It starts with GENETICS... Love the video...
That is a key part of the process.
I have never had these sacs and still they hermie. I have been told it’s due to light pollution at night. They show all the signs of being female until I notice seed in the flower. So frustrating
Could be other environmental stresses such as temperature.

Hard to tell if they will even be viable.
Is there a benefit to it?
As in if a plant can be "forced" to go Herm, will it's seeds be normal, or will have damaged genetics leading them to be Herm's?
You could potentially produce seeds with just one plant.

Reduce plant stress and feed normally and hopefully things return to normal.

Can i use the seed in this kind of plant?
If it is viable, it still should produce a viable plant.
I harvested and found a small cluster of hermie male flowers at the base of flowered stalk and they were opened. Will the seeds from this accidental pollination carry the hermaphroditic trait or possibly be viable genetics?
Sounds like it was stress induced and while the genes may be present the odds are low of seeing an outbreak based on your description.
Usually if it's just a few nanas or even a few sacks one one plant it is stress related. But that said, different/phenos/strains will react differently and handle stresses worse or better. So yes it's stress but it's also related to the genetics too.
Thanks for the info
No problem 👍

Isolate and treat to try and prevent/limit the spread.

If the pollen is viable.
That's the mathematics I like!
It is all in the application.
I have taken clones frist week of flower from plants that 2 week's later hermaphrodite I'm sure was me over pruning will the clones be hermaphrodite
Sounds like it was stress induced.
@@DeBaccoUniversity the question was will the clones from the plants become hermaphrodite
Only if grown under stressful conditions.
In Germany we say ein Zwitter.
Thanks for providing the translation.
Whats the difference between a silver nitrate induced herm and a stress induced herm ? Why does the stress induced is the only one that passes the herm trait?
One is controlled and will have better yields. (Silver nitrate)
Just found out the only plant I have is a hermie. Will removing the pollen sacks as I see them, keep it from self-pollinating?
This should help reduce the odds, and if you need some seeds you can isolate the flowers and see what you get.
@@DeBaccoUniversity ok, that makes sense. Thx for the reply.
But can you still smoke a hermie?
IMO, yes. It's not as potent but will do the job.
Yes, but has reduced chemical concentrations.

Would love to get some feedback from you
One night with the lights on should not cause a complete change to veg so make sure you keep the plants in 12 hours of continuous darkness.
Can I use Hermie plant's seeds?
In short yes, but there is the possibility of this trait showing up again the offspring.
Can a plant have male and female limbs on the same plant? Can I cut the male limbs and save the rest of the plant?
Not common as the limbs (unless treated) should not produce separate flowers. Watch for the same flower producing both pollen and stigmas.
@@DeBaccoUniversity this plant has 1 limb producing male pollen balls.The rest of the plant is budding.I have another plant doing the same thing now.If seeds are produced on these 2 plants will they be female? Thanks for any help/advice.
@alananderson4161 Following .. my opinion is I think they are female I had one do it last year and this year most of my plants turned out female 🤷
@@tommyhurst90 plants this year were all female but they turned hermie just like last year.I trashed all the seeds.
If a hermie pollinates itself are the seeds always female?
Not necessarily.
Can you tell if a plant is a herm when it's in veg?
Only in late veg when pre-flowers are produced.
i always looked on the bright side as a chance for some good seed, if i didnt pull it ✌️💚
Nice to always keep a positive attitude.
what about Ethylene? i have seed plants (regs) in flower and they have some herm-trates. what about the clone run or the 2nd clone run? do they have more female hormones and so less herms? im looking sexual stability ^___^ regards and love!
Reducing plant stress is key. Ethylene can work but the timing and concentration are critical factors.
thank you :) @@DeBaccoUniversity
If you stress a plant making a hermaphrodite will the seeds be hermaphrodite what about the seeds from pollinated non hermaphrodite plants in same room
Remove the stress and you should get consistency in your plant material.
@@DeBaccoUniversity next time I will remove the stress. Please reread my question
If the hermaphrodite trait was the result of stress by removing this in the proceeding plant material you should remove the issue.
@@DeBaccoUniversity thank you
I see what you were saying now

Should we not be defanning in the flower stage? It's one of the topics where some growers swear by and others curse. Im worked at several different grows and have been told different things. it would be nice to get your input.
Typically lower leaves would be removed and then de-fanning would occur near the buds closer to actual harvest time to increase air circulation.

Isn’t this actually called intersex?
Scientific papers still publish "Hermaphroditic".
We also call them Ladyboys…….
Interesting term;-)
Seeds in weed suck.
Unless you want to grow them.
Pull them out and throw away.
If minimal you can selectively remove the male flowers.
Also known as TRIPLOIDS😂
Some can be.
Make the name of it pollution!
Pollen is important for breeders and also those looking to increase genetic variability.
this happened to mine , i kept trying to search because i was like “i thought this was a feminized seed why am i seeing pollen sacks”
Glad the video content was helpful!
Intersex my dude, got to get away from the silly terms
Published scientific papers are using the term as presented in the video.
I think that intersex only applies to humans. I think you may be anthropomorphizing plant hermaphroditeism.
Eat video short and infromatoinal
Thanks, glad you like them.
