I started growing LA conf x Skunk from seed. I took a cutting from a female seed plant when it was sexed and all subsequent cuts came from that.
I usually keep a mum for around 16 - 24 weeks then replace her with the best of the last cuttings I take.
My last grow gave me some seeds though there were no males involved.
Does this mean that they will be feminised as I believe that's how they do it?
Will they be more susceptible to hermy?
What generation would that make them?
And finally and probably a stupid question but does a plant have to go hermy to produce seeds when there are no males present? I presume so because the plant needs male pollen?
I've currently got 5 of these seeds germinating and in around 24hours 3 of them popped tap roots and 12 hours later, the last two have followed.
When I first did the original LA conf X Skunk seeds I got, they all germed within 24 hours and the fem ratio was 100% from the three original seeds.
I've carefully marked the three seeds that sprouted first as this is a trait I'd like to keep and I hope will be passed on and is a sign of strong plants.
Not bothered about them all being fems anyway as I want a male to experiment with.
