Hey Ben, good to hear it's working out for you. I will harvest this week and although this wasn't a max-yield run and had some unrelated issues, based on the buds size and their structure and density and frostiness I have no doubt they had plenty of nutes to do their thing.
I recently had a convo about this with RB and while we left open the possibility of their technically being no male hermies, in reality that doesn't seem to be the case. Do you have any research/science/resources that confirms the above? Not trying to be a dick here, I'd seriously like to know as it's still a subject within the herma discussion I'm not as sure about as some other aspects. I don't think a male plant actually needs female genes to create nanners and have quite a few reasons to assume male hermas do exists even though they are far less common (which in turn could be all due to the fact growers grow way more females than males so we'd never notice them herm).
30+ years of my own gardening, farming experience and common sense, on top of Ed Rosenthal, Greg Green and Jorge Cervantes... (BY the way, I am not bragging about my experience or retorting in a smart ass fashion, I am just quantifying my experience for you so you know I'm not from some funny farm! LOL!)
Also, open a browser, type in the name Vic High BCGA from the BC Growers association, these folks are EXTREMELY informative and Vic himself is where I get ALL of my breeding information from for EVRYTHING.
In the back of Greg Greens "The Cannabis Grow Bible" is an entire section devoted to the genetic breeding of marijuana and the manipulation of female plants to make female seeds. As told by Vic High. =)
Marijuana is not the only plants in the world that carry dioecious and monoecious traits.
Yeh, I am positive that male plants can not be female or hermaphrodite, cause male plants can only be male plants..
In fact, a hermaphrodite won't throw male seed, it will only throw female or hermaphrodite seed. Which is why the resulting seeds are called feminized.
If a male COULD(keyword, because males CAN'T) carry the hermaphrodite genetic, it's not a male, it's a hermaphrodite.
IF a female carries the hermaphrodite genetic, it's not a female, it's a hermaphrodite.
