Male herm?

decrepit digits said:

Way back when I first back crossed a strain I had female flowers show just like that. I went to the BCGA site and asked much the same question, the response from the knowledgeable ones there all agreed it was a back crossing trait and not worry about using it. They have not to this date created female herms. I do not know how long the trait remains in the male progeny it has not worried me.

I would do that too, this question comes up alot nowdays. Backcrossing has become popular as a way to try and restore strains. I only did it the one time maybe for two generations to try and save a special pheno, but came to the conclusion it wasnt worth it.

Ive gotten an endless sky( feminized) that i crossed with sour diesel. And have back crossed onto the parent plant ( endless sky fem) 4 times now.. some stablity to the progeny. Ive got bx3's and bx4's im still working on to them selves now.. i really couldnt get back the braided bud structure of the endless sky, but im happy with what ive accompleshed over 7 years..
Now i want to take this male and run it into two of my earlier flowering plants... the structure and smell of this male in awsome..

I was worried that this male herm trait would mess with the females crossing over into their female progeny .. get what i mean? Not sure if this make any sense.. im pretty stoned right now..lol

Bad pic.. but this is the male..

I just chopped 3 males. 2 Amnesia Haze and 1 Critical Mass. The pollen sacs are quite a way from opening so I hung them to dry. In articles I've read on vitimins they say that marijuna has more than kale. I've taken a capsule of raw and a capsule of decarbed every at. I don't know if it does anything but it can't hurt.

I hung them in an old barn that I know already had pollen from the commercial growers the llast two years. They weren't very careful about males.

Fortunately, these are small plants, no big loss.
