"Research is formalized curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose." ~Zora Neale Hurston Did you find seeds in your buds even though no male plants were around? “Hermie seeds” refer to seeds you find in your cannabis buds without the presence of male plants. When you get seeds without male plants, it means a female plant “hermed” (showed hermaphrodite tendencies). The herm plant released pollen onto nearby buds, causing seeds to grow. But what happens if you grow the seeds from a hermie plant? Will it cause
problems? Keep reading to find out! Can you grow seeds from a hermie cannabis plant? Yes, but there are pros and cons. Here is what cannabis growers can expect when growing hermie 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 “feminized” seeds.
Cons - More Likely to Herm – Unlike professionally feminized seeds (which are created using a different 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 because herming is in its
genetics.
- Higher Chance of Seedy Buds – Again, it is possible your buds won’t grow seeds, but seedy buds are more likely. This is because the genetics came from cannabis plants that produced seeds without the presence of a male plant. Even if you don’t see evidence of plants herming, like pollen sacs or yellow hermie bananas on the buds, the buds may have seeds in them after harvest.
- Possibly Worse Yields & Bud Quality – If buds get a
few seeds, it won’t affect your yields or bud potency much. But seeds take energy to grow. If your plant grows tons of seeds because it herms, you’ll end up with smaller buds that may have lower potency or smell than expected. Sadly, when growing hermie seeds, it’s impossible to know ahead of time what you may end up with.
- Unknown Genetics – Just like starting with any other bag seeds (seeds you find), hermie or not, you don’t know how the plants will grow. Unlike with seeds from a trustworthy breeder, you can’t know what to expect as far as how the plant
grows, how long until it’s ready to harvest, the bud structure, smell, potency, etc. It’s really the luck of the draw.
Hermie plants grow yellow bananas or pollen sacs where buds should be. Hermie seeds come from buds pollinated from a hermie plant. It’s clear to see why growers would want to grow herm seeds, they’re essentially free seeds that appear out of no where and grow all-female plants. That’s appealing. The main downside to growing herm seeds is that you’re more likely to end up with more hermie plants and seeds in your buds. If it’s just a few seeds in your buds, most home growers wouldn’t care. But seeds take away from the size
and potency of buds. If your buds produce tons of seeds, you’ll end up with very little bud to smoke, and it will be less potent than it could be. On top of that, you won’t know what to expect as far as how the plant grows or bud quality until the grow is over. Related Article: What causes
cannabis plants to herm? Hermie seeds look the same as regular cannabis seeds, but they’re more unpredictable.
Feminized Cannabis Seeds: Are They Worth It?You’re shopping at a cannabis a seed bank and see that seeds can be “regular” or “feminized”. Hmmm. What does “feminized” mean? Should you buy regular or feminized marijuana seeds? What are the pros and cons of each type of seeds? Feminized seeds always make
buds. Attention Home Growers!I know you are dedicated to growing the best cannabis possible or you wouldn’t be reading this right now.
