Just about any Plant will Hermie if given Less than 10hrs of Light a Day. That is How SEED BREEDERS get their Female Seeds, they just deprive what they want of Light, and then collect the Male Flowers(BANANAS) when they show Up. Unfortunately, ANY Plant can HERMIE!!! And Fem SEEDS are more apt to HERMIE, because they come from a HERMAPHRODITIC Plant already!!! Give ME Stable Male Female SEEDS anytime, I'll use the Males I like the looks and smell for Pollen, and Pick the Nicest Females for the Garden and Breeding. Of course I realize most people cannot afford to do it this way, that is why I think if You are Gonna Grow from SEEDS, make Your Own!!! And if You do have limited resources, FEM Seeds are ok to work with, just be careful about them going Hermie on You, especially if You are an Outdoor Grower!!! Norcaliwood, Nice Post!!!:: You like Oregon Better than Nor-Cal for Growing? I have a Friend in Portland, and He says it is Beautiful, But that Nor-Cal is way better for Growing Outside anyways. I also realize Oregon is a Huge State, and that the Middle Part of the State Is Way Warmer and Sunny Than Portland, maybe You live there!!! Or have a Green House, Guess I should LOOK at YOUR Threads and Find Out!!! Take Care, and Happy Growing!!! SINCERELY, JAMESTHEGREEN.
