"I can live for two months on a good compliment." Mark Twain Home Grow Tip: Start with trustworthy feminized seeds (here’s a list of good ones) to ensure every plant makes
seedless buds. Save yourself the headache! Cannabis buds with no seeds = “sinsemilla”
(higher THC and better to smoke than seedy buds) When you find your homegrown buds have seeds even though zero male plants were in the vicinity, it means a female plant “hermed” (showed hermaphrodite tendencies). The herm plant released pollen onto surrounding buds, causing seeds to grow. Hermie seeds can appear even if you don’t see any visual signs of herming like pollen sacs or bananas. Hermie seeds: No male plant was around, but you find seeds in the buds anyway. But what happens if you grow the hermie seeds from a hermed plant? Will it cause problems? Keep reading to find out! Here is what cannabis growers can expect when growing hermie cannabis seeds: Pros - Free Seeds – These are seeds you find in your buds. Cannabis seeds cost money, and getting free seeds without
any effort is appealing.
- All-Female Plants – If both parents were female (at least mostly female), as is the case with herm seeds, all resulting cannabis plants will be at least mostly female and grow buds. In a way, herm seeds are unplanned, naturally-formed “feminized”
seeds.
Cons - More Likely to Herm – Unlike professionally feminized seeds (which are created with a special chemical process), hermie seeds come with more uncertainty. Although the resulting plants may or may not show any signs of herming, unfortunately the chances are higher. That’s because for each herm seed, herming is in its genetics.
With high-quality cannabis seeds, plants usually only herm under major stress
like nutrient deficiencies, light stress, heat stress, unusual light cycles, etc. With really great genetics, plants won’t herm under any conditions. But a seed from a hermie parent is more likely to herm even in perfect conditions. The plant went through extreme stress, so it was no surprise to find
seeds. When are seedlings ready to be transplanted?
Today I'm moving our autoflowering seedlings into their final homes. Each one is going into a 3-gallon fabric pot!
Our 17 day old autoflowering seedlings! I probably should have transplanted them a day or two earlier. Why? Restricted roots slow down growth. I want to move the seedlings to a bigger pot immediately, so roots can spread out. Root freedom helps seedlings grow as fast as possible. These seedlings are about to be transplanted to bigger
homes... After the transplant, I gave each seedling about 3 cups (750 mL) of water in a small circle around the base. I want their roots to stay nice and moist, but I don't want to drown them. Seedlings this small aren't drinking much water yet. Yet they are picking up steam. I can see new growth every day now! By next week they likely will have doubled in size. It's possible we may even see the first signs of flowering, as most autoflowering plants start flowering when they're just 3-4 weeks old. Stay tuned!
