So, here's the deal. I had several plants growing outside this past summer, a couple of blue hash crossed with ganesch spirit. They did really well and when I harvested them I noticed that ALL of them had seeds in varying degrees. I made 100% certain to remove the males well before they could pollinate the females (or so I thought). In any case the smoke is great and there really aren't THAT many seeds. I had 5 plants and have gotten about 200 seeds total from all of them.
So, here's my conundrum....were they pollinated by one of my males before he got pulled? Were they fertilized by a rogue plant growing somewhere else? I know pollen can travel miles under the right conditions. Or did they pollinate themselves somehow? I know that sounds funny but...here's the rub...ALL the seeds I've planted so far from this grow have ALL been female, every last one of them. Now, granted, I only germinated 12 so far...and they are now on their third week of flowering in my 4x4 tent with a 1000w hps. I just upped the wattage a couple days ago from 400w and they seem to like the change of light.
But I digress. Are the cause of these all being females the result of self fertilization or just plain dumb luck. Yeah, I know I can plant some more and see if I get the same result and I will. But I just wanted to get some other thoughts and opinions.
