Sounds like the mother was a late showing hermie to me.

Causing stress to female plants until they go herm and pollinate themselves is how most breeders create feminized seeds.  Because the mother was stressed to the point of going herm to create said female seeds, females grown from feminized seeds also have the herm gene passed on which will usually express when/if the feminized plants experience any kind of stress whatsoever.

No it is not. The most common way to make them if your doing it the right way it to find the plants your thinking of using as mother plants. Then take cuttings from them and stress them every way you can. The ones that turn hermie are thrown out not used. You do not want a plant that can turn hermie to make feminized seeds from period. There is one breeder that does this and that is Soma and just look at the reviews on his fems.

The plants that pass the test are then treated with STS. The difference between a male plant and a female is simple. The female has one hormone more then the male. They both use the same hormone to trigger flowering but femele plants have a extra hormone that tells the plant to form female flowers. The sts attaches to the hormone that tells the plant to make female flowers and makes it unusable to the plant. STS stay in place so you can spray a few branches on a plant and only those will have male flowers. The process of making feminized seeds is not a natural one. When done properly there is no difference between regular seeds and feminized seeds in the amount of hermies they put out.

I can keep going on this but it gets boring to you guys so I'll stop but people using hermie plants to make seeds and I know there are some are making a huge fuckup.

You can rap to me all day about feminized seeds.  I won't get bored.  The information I have acquired about feminized seeds is outdated apparently.  Also, yea, according to the information provided by the OP those clones could have been taken during veg.  Sorry.  Thanks.

Phycotron.  I'mma have to look into that colloidal silver method of feminizing seeds.  I have an endless supply of over 100ppm colloidal silver from a relative who manufactures it.

The CS way of feminizing is good also I have a post up on that also and it is a good method esp if you have family that makes it. The best ppm tested so far has been around 50 ppm.

If your interested in CS this is a very good read.

let me re-state so there is no confusion.


I took a bunch of clones off the mother plant when she was in veg.

Then while her clones were in veg I put the mother plant in the flower room.

( I know I should have had patience and kept the mother in veg and put the mature clones at a later time in flower)


However, when the clones were about 4 weeks old, I put them into the flower room, and about 4 out of 10 turned into males.
Full blown males, with no signs of female flowers, just the pollen sacks.

When I look at the mother plant they came off of ....she is doing very well...She is a Big Bud White Widow

No clue honestly Pics by chance?
