Rodelization VS Hermi

Whats the difference between the two? In rodelization a female plant stresses itself because it hasnt been pollinated and makes male flowers and pollenates itself. A hermi gets stressed for other reasons and does the same thing, or is it different?

    • I guess rodelization is a more natural way to obtain feminized seeds but either way your offspring will posses the hermi trait and I believe at a higher rate too thru rodelization.

      I have to say this, after this year growing I've lost my love for feminized seeds for many reasons. I'm going back old school and starting from scratch. Regs all the way!

      • Reproduction does seem to be a higher priority than flower with a lot of strains. I think the weed motto is "be fruitful and multiply even if your on your own" lol. Since most of my grows are cloned cuttings from a known mother I am leaning towards regs too. How many regs do you pop at a time? I know its a crap shoot but how many seedlings balance the odds?

        • It's really about twice as many till their about 4 or 5 weeks and you can start sexing.

          • Sometimes I wonder if all the things done to make seeds more marketable does more harm than good but I get not wanting to waste time on a male plant too.

          • Rodalazation usually happens by going well past the point of harvest. Then it will throw off a few beans before it dies. Rodalazation only produces a few beans not like a hermie will produce 100s.

            • That confuses me too because seeds can take a few weeks to be come viable and its not common for growers to le a plant go weeks past harvest time.

                That's how some of the old timers got female seeds..I've done it a couple of times myself..

                • Well, I have a good chance to test that. I am leaving the Mandarin cookies outside to see if what's left will mature, it will probably be better than what I harvested just to piss me off. Anyway, I will let these "Go to Seed" as the old timers did and see what happens.

                  • That's interesting, one comment in there about the male flowers not needing to open to pollinate the plant because they can do it internally is something I had not heard before. I guess that gives us more time if one plant shows nanners and the rest dont.

                  • Not sure what you read. Internally?

                    Nanners don't have the sac of the male flower, just the internal parts (anthers).

                    So, they don't need to open to release pollen, they're already open. They just need to go from green to yellow to drop pollen. That's why they're such a PITA. Usually, you don't see them till they're yellow, when it's probably too late.

                    • Maybe I misread it but

                      Unlike pollen sacs, “nanners” don’t need to open up to release the pollen because they’re the inside structure of the pollen sacs, so the pollen grains are directly exposed to the buds; Which means that as soon as the bananas appear, they immediately start pollinating the buds and nearby plants.

                      • the "they can do it internally" part threw me off is all.

                        • ok ok i gonna reply to this almost 2 yrs old post just in case it might help someone thats lookin around here in the archivez.....hahahah ..the nanners release pollen but not as much as the sacs that open and then u see the lil nanners inside threre..on nanners pollen comes out the lil pointy end ,,,u can remove those nanners with some tweezers,  when they ready and u can make the pollen come out on diff plants as well
