Can male marijuana plants produce female seeds?

I'm new to the whole growing thing and I was wondering if I get a male plant, if I could keep it to produce female bearing seeds.

 

No. You need a female or hermaphrodite plant for seeds. Males just spread around a lot of sticky stinky pollen and die.

 

are you god?

 

Isnt a reversed male the sorce of fem seeds? Either that or a reversed fem but I think its a reversed males product. I shure aint no breeder but thats the way I thought it was.

 

female seeds come from using giberillic acid on a female plant to create male flowers, then the pollen from these flowers is collected and used to pollinate a different female(to avoid inbreeding). because technically(even with its male flowers) plant 1 is still female, thus you get feminised seeds.

that's the only way i know of, there may be more.

 

I think the acids just a stress inducer. Some Folks stress their plants in other ways to gettem to hermi. I always thought fem seeds were the result of a reversed males self polination.

 

reverse males ha, very rare indoors you might be able to find a seed.. but I thinks that a herm is gona start always Fem. then gender bend in flower cycle.
I thinks... I thinks... a reversed male has been graphed with female.. not sure thats some tech stuff. If you can get seed just grwo em till you get a fem... :cheers2:

 

Im not realy shure bout this cause Im not a breader but it just dont make sence to me. Goin by the general consences that would meen that fem seeds are way way overpriced wouldnt it? I meen if fem seeds are the product of a reversed fem, then fem seeds would be prety damn common wouldnt they? Its not VERY uncomon for someone to accidently hermi theyr Herbs with somekinda fukkup. Some Herb is even hermi prone. The Lav Im workin with rite now is hermi'in on me. I been pikkin random naners offa nodes as I spotem for the last 2 days. They started showinem day 12 of flower. I understand Lav dose this. Even in total darkness with ideal conditions. I understand some NYCD dose it too. I wouldnt be runnin it but it was all that was available to me. So dose this meen I should think about just leavin the naners on and goin for a harvest of fem seeds insted of Herb? -- Im pikkin the nanners off Bruddas. I dont think Id wind up with fem seeds. Mabey some hermie seeds I dont know. Anyhow- Reversed males are alot less common. I think thats what they work with. Like I said, I aint no breader but I think it works that way. Ill have a look around.

 

hummm.. I dont know I hardly ever let a herm finish out indoors. Thats cause it will contaminate all the rest. Ive tried some crossbereeds and stuff, careful since you can just wreck the strain altoghter, so Ive read. Some breeds shouldnt go together if they all did then there would be a whole lot more strains.. imo.. I still have no clue.
As for herms outside, they have always, still been the same breed and nothing changed as to keeping them all female. They herm anyways as you said CanniE strain related... Sativas bend alot imo. Again I try to pull em indoors. So I really dont know.
and to me a male is taking up space and time for nothing even outdoors....i couldnt go on waiting, but Ive heard that a male can get a flower on it and produce a seed or 2, but its going to die outdoors if they make it to the ground and survive mice and birds and whatnots. If it lived? I couldnt see a seed developing well on a single flower on a male plant with no protection.. But the topic has me curious. LOL.

 

Wow, me too! I went over to IC and checked theyr breedin forum. Real interestin shitt! It seems Im totaly wrong! Told ya Im no breeder! Seems ya gotta pick out a doner fem to stress and hermi for Her pollen. Some Folks say asperin works just as good as the acid shitt with none of the danger. Ya take that pollen and polinate a select sister. I dont know if theres any other teks that utilize a reversed male like I thought but the above was gleaned offa IC. Im not nowheres near bein a breader. Sory bout my above post, I was misinformed.

 

nothing to be sorry abouts... haha, I have no clue. I didnt even do a search on the topic.. Lazy..
No my search button has been replace with I cant find shit button.. I forgot..

Ive stressed many a plant and some never flip at all...has to be a special way, or strain related. but Ive seen plants/clones herm under ideal conditions... ?? Maybe thems seeds would be good, but.. Ive harvested for tch not seeds and that last in stage at time overrippenings of bud for a few seeds? costly imo for a lowdown farmer like me... If they made a flower early seeds might develope befor buds are due to harvest. so I guess its possible. Id like to have a super huge room where I could fool around like that... it would be awesome.

 

Yea I was just kiddin. Id never even think of harvestin for seeds. Im just gonna keep pikkin the nanners off. Their only on the nodes, -where preflowers happen, and once these are pikkt off, no more will come later. I was just talkin to someone who grew the Lav for 2 years. Damn. I cant wait to start flowerin the Shack again! It'l be bout 10 weeks till I can put a Shack in my flower room. From 02 to 07 I harvested Shack every other week and NEVER had a hermi. I just Love that Herb! Blessins on ya my Brudda! Im gonna kik around on the forums a bit.

 

Hey, ya know what? whoever wants to know bout this gotta go to IC and go to the breeders forum and find the "Ever seen a male hermie before" thread. I think I was wrong bout bein wrong. Weather or not, its a real interestin read! It seems that your better fem seeds are made from reversed males like I thought. I knew I read it before but I dont know where. Anyhow theres a good thread at IC mag bout it. Id link it up but I got no idea how to do links. While your there you could check my "Sugar Shack Junk Yard" thread too. Its in the growin section. The first pages are best for pics. I dont have a camera now but Im runnin 4 x 600 watt lights now here insted of the 3 x 400s. That was back in Philly. We in Cali now Bruddas, With UPGRADES!

 

when the link is in your tool bar address feild.. Just copy it and paste it to this message reply window....

Thats great..... completes the topic..


Welcome..

 

is that to say no bud comes off a male plant (also a newbie at this)

 

Not in the conventional sence. No. The male produces male pollen sacks instead of female calyx's. Definantly not somthin to shoot for. An average male prolly produces more pollen then trichs. Theyre usually skimpier too. Except the photo of the month pictured on the opening page of ICmag. Theirs a good picture of an over average male rite there on the opening page. Its to the rite and down a bit. It was posted by Verite. Its been there for ages now. Now THATS a big and healthy male!

 

Interesting theory and nice to see a male hermie very rare indeed. But breeding anything to turn hermie to the point that all seeds pop fem has gotta be asking for trouble later coz there'd be just to interbred.
Thought the idea is to find a plant that does.nt hermie by stressing it out that way your've got ya self whats know as a true female and from there ya just let it self seed by extending the bloom time and shortening the days very few seeds that way or harvesting the pollen from your self seeder to fertilize another true female. Btw done seeds a few times now and its bud thats the last in the line seeds are a few weeks quicker.

 

I need some info on what im doing wrong 1st time grower
