Greenhouse seed Feminized seed question.

I got those 5 feminized seeds from greenhouse seeds for my white rhino and flowered 2 and kept 1 for a mother and stored two seeds for the future.
I flowered two and they are blooming great.

My question and worry is the 1 mother of the 3 feminiezed white rhino i kept and took many clones from didnt show any pre flowers no pistils at 6~7 week old in vegging right now.
I was 100% certain for being new grower that it would be a female but now just owrried it might be a male and rest of the clones might be a male.
LOL that would really suck.

Every time i see some new growth im thinking its a ball and freak out lol.

My question is who have had experience with feminiezd seeds or specifically green house seeds and what are the ratios for the plants to NOT BE A FEMALE? Ratio of being a hermy?

Any help would be nice and repped for help thanks.!

Ive never personally grown feminized seeds but have friends at some of my local collectives that have and said so far no males, a few hermies but thats out of 30-40 beans and said it was mainly because of low temps. Although some long time growers in my family have stated that for mothers its always best to take your best females from regular seeds instead of fems, basicly I think because thats the way they've always done it. I just ordered my first batch of fem seeds from greenhouse so obviously I was sold on the idea, not sure yet if Im gonna keep any mothers but I imagine I will. Ive usually grown from clones and I like to veg for a long time compared to most(about 12wks), usually I can see pre flowers between5-8wks but not always, so dont get to stressed out, just keep an eye on them. GOOD LUCK!

Its a little far along but you could always sex the mother if your super worried, then you would know for sure, but honestly I wouldnt worry too much.

Yea i threw in one of the clones to sex it. Hopefully its not a male or hermie.

Yep, now you'll know with 10-14days or so, I'll check up with ya after awhile since Im getting fem beans from greenhouse for the first aswell. +rep

Don't think femmed seeds can be male ever, just female or hermie.

Hope this is true.

And i heard if its a hermie i can keep cutting the sacks before it develops true or false?

Yeah just pull all the sacks off if in fact you do get a hermie, just keep an eye on them. Assuming you've got decent conditions your chances of hermies should be relatively low, but trust me I understand where your comin from. This is gonna be my first go around with fems so you can be sure I'll be watching them just like you are.

I grew out a mix pack of 5 different GreenHouse strains, White Rhino was one of them. All fem seeds. They were all solid females - absolutely no problems with hermies, bananas, or anything like that. I've also seen it said that you shouldn't clone plants from fem seeds. That's BS. I've cloned these GreenHouse strains a bunch of times with no probs.

Great i can sleep better thanks. REpped!

Bad news last night the i put the mother in from the bubba and rhino. Both are showing signs of BALLS. THIS REALLY SUCKS cuz i have few clones vegging already. Damn im gonna wait a few more days and see if its a hermie due to STRESS since i clones the shit out of it.

But if its a male its gonna suck. Wasted madd soil and time.

My FUCKING LUCK. Out of 6 plants i choose two to clone and those two happen to be the male out of a feminized seed.

SOME BULSHIT.!

Do oyu think the plants forming balls due to stress? Should i try flowering the clones and see if they form balls too?

This really sucks.

You sure it's balls? That really sucks. Gotta admit that I really didn't like your plan of cloning only some plants and not others anyway. Even though you have plants of the same strain it is likely they will turn out very differently. It all has to do with genes and the different phenotypes they create. Basically a strain is like all brothers and sisters. They share the same mother and father but these same genes combine in different ways for each particular plant. So even if all your plants stay completely female you may have not cloned the best one. How far are the others into flower? I've cloned plants that were in week 4 of flower before. They will root but just take a little longer than cutting off a vegging plant.
