that sounds like fun! what do you think the % of female seeds will be?
if it is a synthetic hermie, all seeds will be feminized, since it will have the feminized male trait.

the children will only be female, or a feminized male..or it could become both, like its mom and mom/dad, and herman out

Don't really care had sour for six years from clone after clone. Get a male still crossed and I get her genes. Females awesomer. This whole grow was dedicated to this.

If you expect to grow more than a plant or two at a time I think you're crazy. The vast majority of offspring will be hermaphrodite. For myself it isn't worth even growing seeds from hermaphroditic pollination.

Don't expect many if any true makes or females. Most likely 100 percent of them will appear female but in fact will self at a very young age.

hermaphroditic pollination, i like that.

not true that the population will be mostly hermans. this is a hermie x a stable female, and its NOT the frist generation from a sprayed plant.

i say you have a high probability of females and 'pure' feminized males from this cross.

what is it, diesel x what?

and was the hermie a feminized seed or a regular?

I've managed to survive off 2 clones for six years might just be able to tackle that challenge. I'm not looking for an army just one super weapon. For some reason my la herms at week 7 I guess that's early? And for some reason b might be right.

(I'm just speculating) but if you do a normal male and female your seeds are roughly half male half female so if you do a normal female and a hermie shouldn't you atleast get roughly half normal females while the other half are hermies and maybe some males??? this is as much a question as it is a guess. and if thats true then it really isn't any worse than breeding normally

they are half female and half feminized males.

well, not really half and half, not sure but somehow they make the odds weigh on the female gene. i wish i knew why.

maybe because the mother/father thing starts out as a female?

a reg x reg is half female and half male odds.

exactly..'female' pollen x a female, without any direct destruction of dna from silver or acid, should be mostly female offspring.

la con is the strain?

it makes sense that their would be more females. the only difference is you would be watching out for hermies and a few males but at the very least with a normal mother plant (the plant the seeds are going to grow in not the hermie pollen donor) you should atleast get roughly half normal females if not more. I would think if the hermie pollinates itself those seeds will be especially prone to hermie though (just logical deduction from everything I've read but I could be wrong)

no, a useless post has been highlighted above. it was made by some sort of internet gaylord talking straight out of his ass on a subject that he clearly knows nothing about.

there is an old saying about not opening your mouth to remove all doubt. we should probably go ahead and make some sort of modern day version that involves verbiage about pounding the keyboard and pressing submit to remove all doubt.

you are out of your element.
