Looks like you got a hermie man that sucks, have you had any light leaks or anyhting, if not then it is probably genetic, if thats the case the clones will be hermies and the seeds you get will either be hermie or male, sorry bro.

Well you might as well let it grow out since you dont have any true females that it will pollinate, at the worst you will get some smoke out of it. I've never heard of a female bud going hermie from seeding it, but I guess anything is possible.

What makes getting seeds to Oz so hard, I mean I get them in the US fairly easy do yals customs guys inspect stuff hardcore or summin? I would suggest that you order plenty of good seeds from Attitude enough to hold you over for a while, they have pretty good stealth.

Damn thats a real nice lookin plant too, ya just let it grow out then pick the seeds out as you smoke the bud collect them in a light proof container and place them in the fridge until your ready to use them.

Look hermes is just one of the genetic options... it can and do happen even under perfect conditions... its just genetics.

Correct me if I'm wrong here but wont seeds from a genetic hermie produce more genetic hermies?

I'm also still wondering what makes getting seeds into Australia so hard?

Ya I'm pretty sure that they will be hermies or just strait male since you pollinated with a male.

You can wait til after you are done growing to order more seeds just incase they did catch them and come to your door they wouldn't have anything to convict you with. Do the Australian customs pretty much do the same thing as the US, when they find something in your package they conviscate it and send you a letter or do they actually try to bust you?

yer im not a 100% shour how customs work,i just dont like taking risks ay,this lot i got went through to a friend 3000 miles away first then to me,but yer worst cums to worst ill get sum more,so i dont understand how all the seeds shes gonna produce there all gona be duds? she prepolinates herself to produce seeds why would they all be no good now? i do relise she turned hemi but how does that afect all the seeds,cant i just start from them ? pick out the males and end up with straight femies?
ta man, also the cuttings that i have taken from her would they be ok hence she turned hemi from leaking light,stress,ect ect ya think i should still try sex them just in case they may still be ok? it may be on my behalf that she turned hemi maybe ya know what i mean,i might try sex them and see

You you might as well grow the clones out just to be sure that it was not from stress.

I'm not really good with explaining things but I'll give it my best shot. If it is genetic then it will pass on these hermaphrodite genetics on to its offspring since some of the seeds will be from the male you pollinated it with they have about a 50/50 chance of taking the males genetics and being male or the genetics of the hermaphrodite and being a hermie. The other seeds that are from just the hermie pollinating itself can only take on the genetics of the hermie and should be hermaphrodites.

I could be totally wrong about this, I did sleep through biology after all so getting the opinion of someone with more experience of this sort of thing would help.

yer i understand what your saying man,be nice for more opinions but anyway 1 is better then none:),so do hermise show sex the same way as males do when 12-12 takes place?iv had a cutting from her in the same room about 5inches tall, on 12-12 for bout 2 weeks now,but still not showing any signs:-?
