Seeding feminized plants?

Not if they are NOT stressed.. Plant rape is becoming a Global problem now and we need to get the UN involved to come in and address it.

Now hermies from the cross breeding can occur if they are not land races or F1's

Sure thing. I'll have to find room when I start back up.
Had been several years since my last fresh bean purchase. The Hindus were freebies, along with a couple of femmed sour diesel beans. So... I turned a simple order of 10 reg Nirvana's and 5 femmed Amnesia Hazes into 3 mommies, everything crossed with the Nirvana, plus Nirvana f2's. All from 5 Nirvana, 1 Amnesia, and 2 Kush seeds.100% germed. Still have half the Nirvana beans, 4 haze beans, and the not yet tried femmed Sour Diesel.

True Breeding takes time. I'm thinking of crossing UBC chemo with white russian?

I respectfully have to disagree, Bob. The forced feminising process (using colloidal silver or, more commonly, gibberellic acid) does not alter the DNA of the mother plant.

ALL strains have the potential to turn hermaphrodite when stressed to varying degrees - it just depends on how stable they are to begin with, and the hormonal variation around individual plants. Sativas (especially Asian equatorials) are more predisposed to hermaphrodism than indicas, while individual female plants of any genus may be more predisposed to hermaphrodism if surrounded by a high number of other females and a low number or complete absence of males (survival mechanism).

Whatever you cross, the progeny will only be as predisposed to hermaphrodism as the genetics they carry - it has nothing to do with whether the mothers came from feminised stock or not.

The hermies question will take time ... Years. more than 1 anyway.

back crossing? My experience here is limited to experimentation.

Do you want feminized? or regular seed?

no hermies assumed.

I have done a couple of crosses with feminized plants, one a Bubba's Gift and the other a 707 Truthband; no hermies at all.

And I grew a decent amount of them out to harvest.

So I think that's scientific proof that using a feminized plant crossed with a regular plant does not produce hermies.

4 plants from the crosses seed. I'm so casual about it that I'm not sure if they're bubble/haze or bubble/kush...They were in cups for like 3 months relying on the sunlight through the window. They started to bud back in April or so..now theyre just chilling in the window light in veg, hopefully till September. Clones are planned. :volcano:

Any thoughts on the deficiency apparent is appreciated. I recently transplanted them to bit larger pots using prior grow soil, roots & all. I did add some limestone to try to balance it.
