Question About Mystery Bag Seeds

[Harry Red]

Greetings friends,

I really only have access to Mexi-hybrid bad seeds and I have plenty of them but a friend who only smokes more exotic indoor grown strains offered to give me 6 seeds that she has collected over the last year or so. She said she finds a seed every now and then but really has no idea what the strains might be but I know it's always primo stuff. The seeds are probably from 6 totally different strains.

I'm wondering if there is a good chance these seeds will come from self pollinating plants and if so, would there be a good change of these seeds being feminized? If so, I'm also wondering if the seeds would have a better chance than normal of producing hermies?

I'm planning on using these for my next grow attempt.

Thanks y'all

Harry

Odds are they will.

 

[Harry Red]

Thanks Smokin'!!

Being she said she rarely found a seed, I figured there was a good chance the seeds came from self-pollination and would most likely be female. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I'm understanding things correctly, that would basically be the same as "Feminized" seeds?

What are the general odds of getting nuts popping out on plants grown from these self-pollinated seeds, 5%, 25%, 50%?

Thanks

Harry

I can't give you an estimate on possible testicular presence lol. The only way to know is grow it out. Only the original breeder would know if the seeds were femmed through self pollination

 

[Harry Red]

Well, I assumed these were accidentally formed in some growers flowering area and made their way into a bag. The reason I asked is that I read where self-pollinating seeds had a higher chance of producing herms and wondered how high. I seem to see a lot of hermies on the growing boards and just wondered why that was? In the past, I've grown outside using normal pollinated seeds and can't remember ever having seen a herm.

The reason for so many hermies is poor growing, rather than a genetic predisposition. Stress is a known causative of hermies, and growers tend to make mistakes causing stress. Hermies in Breeders packs are a sign of poor breeding techniques and unstable strains.

 

[Harry Red]

Ah, that makes a lot of sense. So, that means that stress training may cause herms to appear. Good to know. I guess you just gotta be stern but gentle.

Thanks a bunch!!

I got one seed from each of my White Rhinos..I was hoping they would be fem.

From what I've seen
25% and less

My one seed of hash plant is female.
No hermie
course she is only 3 inches tall and all bud.

From what I've seen
25% and less

Does that number also apply to seeds produced by colloidal silver treatment?
Peace

I got No idea there Buba, I've only used hermie pollen and self pollinated.
