The weed gods are happy!!π Posted by Cuzmas | Oct 7, 2019 | Dank Nugs, Grower Questions | 3 | Love seeing all the beautiful plants out there. Iβve noticed some plants get seeds but have bud. Are they hermaphrodite Iβm guessing or did they get stressed? Are some strains just entirely Hermaphrodite?
JustCoolin on October 7, 2019 at 5:41 pm Think more male female. Combined you get a pregnant female, seeds in your buds. A female without a male should never get pregnant right? But not plants, to stand the test of time when men cannot be found they have developed a hermaphrodite trait which is usually triggered, not always. Log in to Reply
JustCoolin on October 7, 2019 at 5:47 pm Wasn’t finished oops. Pollen chuckers, crap seed breeders don’t run their offspring out to test for this issue. Now it’s rampant in the seed game. Usually a late flowering unpollinated plant will go hermaphrodite to try and produce offspring. Some just have a tendency to show both sexes regardless of conditions. Other stressors besides light cycles might be nutrition, root bound, overwatering, drought, physical stress, temperature fluctuations and many more. Ideally you want a true female, not going to go hermaphrodite under stress to breed with. Pollen can also travel quite a distance in the wind so you might not have a hermaphrodite but a neighbor might. Log in to Reply
Cuzmas on October 7, 2019 at 7:55 pm Thatβs great information, I know I few of those reasons but dam even messing with the seeds. Iβm still yet to find real skunk weed not what they call skunk, the one that actually smells like a skunks ass. Log in to Reply
