Hermie banana marijuana flower?

[InTheShed]

Hi, thanks for the reply I am having a hard time finding how this is used to turn a male into a female. I found a bunch of info on how to turn a female into a male to then pollinate and make the female produce feminized seeds. Might you be able to provide a link, please?

After I posted that last night I went looking and didn't turn anything up but I'll check again today.

Are you sure they're all male? Where did you get a tent full of male clones? Was the mother (father?) plant cloned before it was sexed?

Yep, that is what it reads like. I do the same sort of thing by taking as many cuttings as I have to when "training by pruning" the original plant. Sometimes I have to wait until after they root before I see either the 'mother' or one of the clones start showing. Last year the clone showed first and the 'mother' days later.

Each clone is tagged with a unique number that refers back to the plant it came from so when male flowers show up on either a clone or the donor 'mother' I can go back and pull out all the plants involved even if they have not shown sex yet.

The first photo is a clone taken from the donor 'mother'....

....and this other photo below is of the 'mother'. Interesting thing was that the 'mother' did not start to show until several days after the clone so I had to let it take up space on the patio while I waited. Once it started to show and I could get a decent photo to include in my gallery, which took several more days, I was happy and able to send both off to the compost trench.

Ok so I fimed it, toped it, LST'd it, did some chiropractic work on it and thanks to your help found it to be a male. Back in the day bushy was female, I saw small shoots but they were not coming from the center of the node growth, live and learn. I collected the pollen dried it and added toasted whole wheat organic flour, then put it into the freezer. I made it a bonsai weed plant. Found some interesting info on percent THC and CBD being higher on male leaves. Should I do a bho extraction on it ?. Had 4 plants die from disease and fungus gnats, this one is a beast when it comes to resistance. After all your help and info, leaning toward a perpetual auto flower grow with a fem auto Blue Dream seed. Still not sure what to do with all the male clones. Effects are cerebral, pain management, and relaxing. Thanks all. For my first plant to flower in over 45 years, it was good practice.

Yes, I mistook the small shoots and bushy as female, but the shoots were not coming from the node as pistols.

I found a ton of info on saving male plants, thanks for the info.

I have no familiarity with ethephon but if you have an entire tent of males then experimenting is definitely on the table!

But first, are you sure they're all males?

I cut a lot of clones in the training process of the " Mother", so yes sure there all males. It was good practice as several died till I got it down.

 

[1337sp33d]

No question about it.


Most likely you are seeing very thin tips of small leaves poking up from the growing tip. They do look like pistils and have fooled me into thinking that a plant has already started flowering a couple of days sooner than I thought.


The link is that green line of words in msg #15 that starts off "Beeez Makes Seeds". It is a thread here on this msg board and the guy does start to discuss how to go through the process but it looks like you will have to read starting from msg #1 to the end to get the whole story and suggested instructions.

You nailed it, thanks.

Welcome 1337! what they said. What plant you going to grow to pollinate?

I want to cross it with a autoflower Blue Dream and make 2500 true autoflower cross seeds, seems a bit complicated to make a autoflower cross breed. I am thinking maybe i should cross with a feminized Blue dream and then make autoflower seeds. What's the vote on this birth of a new 1337.sp33d strain, is a fun hobby, thanks for the help.

 

[InTheShed]

I thought an auto crossed with an auto gave you an auto and an auto crossed with a photo gave you a 1 in 4 shot it would be an auto.

 

[1337sp33d]

yes thanks, I need to use colloidal silver on the auto blue dream and self-pollinate with a bag on the target bud site. So I will have to use the pollen from my mistake plant on another plant. If I got it right.

An auto bred to an auto will give you 100% autos. An auto bred to a photo will give you all photos with a recessive for autos, if you then breed those seeds to each other you have a 1 in 4 of an auto. If you breed a photo with a recessive for auto back to an auto, you get a 50/50 for auto.

Thanks for posting this thread and welcome back to growing after a long hiatus!

I've been all ears and eyes here with this information! These things are in my retirement future and I can't wait to try.

Thanks to everyone on here for your thoughts, so helpful-and not just for our new friend 1337, for me as well!

1337, welcome and so happy these all stars were able to help you out and you have a great plan, who doesn't love Blue Dream?
