Hermies happen because it's a genetic imprint of what happened to the female that provided the pollen to make it "feminized" in the first place.
Hermies "happen" because every female dioecious plant on the planet, including cannabis, has the ability to make male flowers too, as a survival mechanism in nature.

In well-bred modern drug cannabis strains, the TENDENCY for female plants to make male flowers early in flowering has been bred out selectively, because this trait is undesirable for indoor growing.

But under the right (ie "wrong") conditions, pretty much ANY cannabis plant can do this, and in the wild pretty much all cannabis plants will do this.

At issue here is just how properly bred these lines are.


That girl had to be shocked (by whichever method) to make her hermie, and that remains in the plants DNA from then on. I say fuck the feminized seeds...they've been compromised.
Stress doesn't alter a plants DNA.

In fact, if you could trace a plants lineage indefinitely probably every cannabis plant on the planet is descended from some ancestor that was pollinated by a hermaphrodite plant.

The only thing stress does is activate a pre-set plant routine to create male flowers. In some plants its easier to trigger this response than others, that's all.

Wonder who the most hated breeder is? Swerve, Subcool or Arjan? Decisions decisions. Funny thing is I have gear from all of them running right now. I better go check for balls eh?
Couldn't hurt. . .

You raise a pretty good question though.

In a world of shady characters and even shadier business practice, who is the absolute worst of the worst?

To me the issue isn't whether or not someone's gear can hermie. . .again ALL plants can do that, and although obviously some are worse than others, I don't think there are any breeders out there who have 100% hermie resistant lines.

The issue is how does the seller in question respond to concerns about hermies.

I think that's what separates the professionals from the poseurs.

Once again stack,I say you don't know me..the dropped seed was never found or planted,shit happens,I've dropped a doller on the ground too...didn't mean I didn't know how to spend it..you implying I'm a shitty gardener is like everone saying swerves gear sucks..but I grew a hermie from his gear..you ain't never smoked my herb..ill send ya a lilblackwater when its done,like I've done the other 2000 plants I've grown..perfectly without a hermie before..as to all that don't mess with seeds,I did ya,I just can't get any clones where I'm at..an old friend gave me my cannadential clone years ago..but all my flavors come frome attitude..and untill now,no hermies.

arjan is not a breeder, subcool is debatable, more like a high grade pollen chucker. never stabilizes his stuff, its one and done.

Subcool has BX his Apollo 13 and isnt Deep purple BX of urkle, and jacks cleaner 2 is BX. So you cant say Subcool never tries to stabilize his stuff...
