Can cuts from female turn male or hermies?

[northernlightssmokn]

I have a few cuts from a mom that have rather large sacks at the base of the stems. I have NO male plants and only 1/2 the cuts show these sacks. The cuts are older and well rooted. They were in shock for a bit while they were over watered and got to cold and cut back a little to far. Also they were taken from 18/6 back to 24hrs. They look healthy and all though.

Stress can make a female plant hermie.

A hermie can "lean" either way by being male dom and female dom hermie.
Can show late hermie signs as well as early.

Stress can cause hermies. and some strains are very prone to having the traits pop out. (meaning it was from hermie seed stock)

If you see hermie signs, might as well stop the cuttings and trash the plant.

Well . . . take one of these "sacks' carefully off the plant and into say, your kitchen, and dissect it to see if it has a male pollen sac structure. Unless you're already sure it is male and this is just your way of saying it . . . IMHO hermies are primarily genetic, as in a tendency, weak or strong; so if these plants do indeed turn out to be carrying male parts, you should also be wary of the rest of them from the same parents.

If you have a hermie in the same room with females will the hermie turn the other females hermie as well? or not

If the pollen sacs opened, your tent is lined with hermie pollen and (most likely) any females in the tent are pollinated. If you got the hermie out before the sacs opened, your girls should be okay. If the other females are from the same stock, be on the lookout for other hermies.

how would i know if the sacs opened, there inside the buds consealed on the bottom of the buds and never even seen any seeds till today when i looked at one but all the other big colas dont have any seeds i can find, only some of the smaller nugs, and i have 8 more plants vegging now, there feminized seeds and now im worried the whole tent has hermie pollen, my plant never had a lot of seeds, i didnt even know there were seeds even when it was flowering, but most of the seed sacs were still developing and there was some seeds that came right now i got 6 seeds!! from 2 small buds, but when i look at the bigger buds and the biggest colas i cant find any seeds, so im not sure to be worried or not

 

[andy52]

i had 1 plant that was heavy in flower and never showed a sign of hermie.but when i harvested her,she had seeds on some of the buds.not many,but still seeds.i had 3 other ladies in with her and they never made any seeds.figure that one out.i scoured mt tent when the plants were all out,just for security and peace of mind.she was a clone from a clone that was a great producer.

If you have seeds then pollen was released in your grow room, no 2 ways about it.
Now if your lucky it just polenated the bottom branches.

yes i can only find seeds on the bottom branches not the top colas. and now i have 8 small plants growing but there small, 1 is 4 weeks old, and the rest are about 3 weeks old, if i take these small plants out and disinfect the tent:hubba: will i have to worry about these small plants turning hermie, because if what you said is true.... and my tent has hermie pollen, then all of my 8 small plants are in there, WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Pollen released by a hermie plant will not cause your other plants to be hermie. It may, however, cause your other plants to seed. The resulting seeds would be considered hermie seeds and useless. I would certainly clean the room,

and i hung the buds in the other room, would that area have hermie pollen also?, and how long will hermie pollen actully be alive to pollenate future grows?? but i will definitly pull out the small plants and clean the tent really good

and what do you mean it will not cause my plants to turn hermie, but it will seed them, isnt that what a hermie basicly is????

No, not at all. Just because a plant has seeds does not mean that it is a hermie. A hermie plant is a female plant that develops male flowers. They will generally self-pollinate and also pollinate any other females in the area. These seeds carry hermie genetics and should be discarded.

A female can also become seeded by coming into contact with pollen from a true male. These seeds, while you may get different phenos, are "good" seeds and can be saved and cultivated.

Both plants are seeded--only one of them is a hermie.
