can a Herm pollinates itself

[RandyB]

What would happen if you identify a herm but you pulled it from the hen house and let it grow by itself in another different room. Would it seed itself and what would those seeds produce if planted? I just find this thought interesting. Thanks

yes they call it selfing look in the grow FAQ

Thankyou, i just read it. It does sound interesting but i would want to use a different room if i were to experiment further. Thanks for the post tip...

A hermie that pollinates itself will produce hermie seeds. Not a good thing hermie needs to go.

I have taken what i think is a hermie out of my flower room and put it in my clone room. Im going to keep it on a 12-12 cycle but under a 250W MH light. It has some beautiful buds growing but i think it has balls growing under the buds. Its my first grow so im not 100% sure but the other 3 survivers are doing well in the flower room and i dont want to take any chances with them. Will hermie buds still get you high?? This is my first grow for my Medical Patients. Thanks

Really. I have a fully flowering plants 3 weeks from finish that was from a plant that self pollinated. I use Colloidal Silver to cause the mother to produce pollin sacks. I then pollinated another female with the pollin(this is how fem seeds are made BTW). During the process it self pollinated. I planted one from the self pollinated and one from the other female. No male parts present in them. Just cause it hermied doesn't mean the off spring are gonna be 100% hermi's. Yes they can turn. Most bag seed probably comes from a plant that self pollinated or from another hermi.


ETA: my exprience from this is from plants I purposly made hermi. I'm not sure i would use seeds from a plant that naturaly hermi'ed. The plants I used took chemical;s to turn so they would pass on resisting the hermi trait(hopfully anyways)

If a plant from a seed turns Herme will clones taken from this same plant become herms as well? Thanks
