[rick3066]

hey all.....im new..got a nice lookin plant goin ,started a journal called bagseeds first grow
ok the seed i have going came from a really nice bud. it was the lone seed...some really good herb.

what does that mean...was it a hermaphrodite? there has to be pollen present right? i saw the term female pollen used somewhere...is that something? yall are talkin about strains..(think im gonna buy some seeds)
it was just a really good lookin seed from some really good pot...

please let the feedback begin!!!

Welcome to

To produce a seed pollen from a male or hermy plant has to come in contact with the pistils of a female or hermy plant.
Finding a seed means that your Cannabis was either a female, or hermy plant, that was fertilized by the pollen of a male or hermy. I'm fairly certain that hermy plants can self fertilize as well.

I haven't seen anything about female pollen as of yet.

And a hermaphrodite typically is produced/created when a plant from feminized seed is stressed, usually to a high degree. I haven't read anything about FEMALE plants going hermy, but I suppose it might be possible.

And just an update for you, I just learned about female pollen.

It's created by spraying a Silver Thiosulfate solution on the plants, which I believe then creates male pollen sacs on the plant.

KingJohnC did it in this grow journal:KingJohnC's 400 Watt LA Confidential Seed Cabinet Soil Indoor Grow Journal

Really interesting stuff!
