If you have a female seed that hermies can it pollinate itself and make female seeds?

I have grown herm sack weed seeds that turned out female / male without any herms, so I don't see why not.

 

[Spike69]

Thx Odin

 

[Spike69]

Wikianswers said yes it can,they said quote-stress a female plant till it hermies then it can pollinate itself and produce female seeds.(almost qoute

Hi SPike, playing a little catchup, been offline for a couple of weeks.
About the gnat problem. I had them in my first grow. I used yellow sticky strips and would catch a couple every time I disturbed the plants. They weren't plentiful. I read that powdered garlic would force them out of the soil, so I tried sprinking a half teaspoon around the soil on each plant and for 2 or 3 days I caught 20 or more a day until they stopped showing up completely. Might be worth a try. The garlic smell goes away after a couple of days. Plain garlic only, no salt.

MMMMMMMMMICK I told warrior thx for your Idea the garlic worked perfect.
so I would like to say YOU DA MAN

That is a very good trick to know. I am going to try that out!! Thank you MMMick for the idea.

Girls are looking beautiful Spike.

THX ODIN,yaa that garlic is kicken,I also have a cup of vinegar with dish soap

No worries Spike, I just passed it on from somebody else. Don't remember where I saw it originally, but it definitely had them rushing out of the pots. My Stiky Strips were loading up for 3 or 4 days with lil gnat bodies until they finally died off. Haven't seen a gnat in here for months.
Hope yours get cleaned out too.

Great pics by the way. Your girls always look so healthy, very nice.

You're welcome Odin, I just passed the idea on. Came from some gardening journal I read months ago. Hope it works for you too.

 

[Spike69]

The only 1s I see now mmmmmick are flying in the house and I clap them to death.lol

 

[Mmmmick]

Maybe still some eggs to hatch so there might a few around for a week or so. The garlic doesn't kill them but it seems to make the soil a nasty place for them.

Keep clappin', you'll get em all eventually.

 

[Odin]

Yeah, the fly strip definitely isn't cutting it alone. I was using a crack torch to toast the little bastards, but I didn't like doing it that way haha.

 

[Spike69]

man be careful with that torch odin,you could light up your best plant then
the gnats and you could have a little smoke out.lol

Yeah it was a quick genocide, too risky to keep up.
