Observations on the Hermie Issue of Feminized Seeds

I can see how that is a desirable trait for males, but how hard would it be tobreed in male hermy's and breed out female hermy? Even possible?

I have a new goal. When I have the room, I want to (with help from RIU) develop a landrace strain with a cheese smell and a sativa high. A weed that is more for quality than quantity. A true connoisseur weed.

Breed the hermys out in the lab, bring in some genetics from around the world to have as close to a 95% sativa tasty bud! Sorry for jackin ur thread, just day dreaming :P

And just out of curiosity, how did the male bud taste???
i did try both plant's 'buds', if you want to call them that, the one with the tiny cola was a cali-o male
not much effect, but there wasn't much bud
the other male was a jock horror, that did have more quantity, and that was actually pretty good in a vaporizer
a not too strong but nice up feeling - the crappy part is those male flower gave no pollen

the entire plant? Or just the bud spot? That is a very interesting thought... Pollinating a male hermy.. :D That would be a long and painful way to introduce male hermying into a strain..

just the buds - loose pistils really, the tiny cail-o cola was a bud though
what i've seen written about the male hermie is from dj short who claims that the rare fertile male hermies have a pollen that produces more stable offspring, i.e. less prone to female hermies

No need to apologize. This is exactly the kind of discussion I wanted to provoke with the thread. As far as I'm concerned, it's still on topic. Hehe
