I have been reading the thread on fem seeds. I understand that fem seeds can produce more hermes on average, but this made me think, fem seeds turning herme is also a good thing, isn't it? Wouldn't those seeds be fem seeds, and you would have a crap load of fem seeds? Yeah, they might be even more herme prone than first generation fem seeds, but should still give you more females than normal seeds. Shouldn't getting fem seeds then be a win win situation, even if you do get hermes, because who would turn down a ton of fem seeds from a feminized herme plant? Seems like I would actually want a herme or two in my fem seeds, because then I may have a hundred darn femized seeds, maybe a more likely to turn out more hemres than normal, but they would still be feminized, wouldn't they? I want many many femized seeds, so why do people complain about gettimg a herme in a pack of fem seeds, when they will gets tons of fem seeds out of the deal?

Someone explain this to me. Fem seeds +either all females, or most females and a ton more fem seeds that will give a ton more females later. Seems like you win all the way around with fem seeds.

most people assume if they see a pollen sac on their flower its a hermie when many time they may have jus opened th door to the grow or accidently turned on a light or sumtin. alot of people talk about hermies but true haermies dont really happen that often.

FEMINIZED seeds are made with female pollen. meaning there is no male chromosome in the genes.
you can accomplish this by light poisoning the plant that is flowering. you simply inturrupt the light cycle in the middle of the dark period. the plant thinks the season is changing and it hasn't made seeds yet so it goes into survival mode and forces some female pollen.

this dons't mean its a hermie
