Not sure if this is going hermie on me but there’s some suspicious looking growth here, and what looks like a few calyxes with seeds forming. Any input would be great.

You can tell in the last image there are anthers, so yes.

Thanks, flipped this tent on 10/30. Probably best to chop it down tonight

If you so choose to keep her up and running and finish her out those seeds will be all Female every stinking one of them.If your ever looking just for a head stash to smoke those beans are your ticket they will be 90% damn near identical to the Mother plant Herms smoke just like any other bud .There was a stressor in the environment and it expressed it self in the form of the herm sacs It will carry down and be inherited by the progeny so I wouldn’t breed them to anything its just going to pop back up somewhere in the line again but if you ever just needed some smoke and didn’t want to fuss finding a male or have one ready this is a potential solution

False. You might want to do some more research.

Nope nope and one more nope with no Ego at all I shall Agree to disagree on this one this was just my personal experience Results can vary im not perfect Tents get holes overtime im always patching mine I pop these from time to time out of curiosity been doing it for over twenty years you tend to encounter these guys when you pop lots of seeds a year been tossing them lately if i find any been real lucky lately Only the pink lemonade did it once with New light My outdoor grows make more than enough for me these days ,plants are pretty much the same taste and high always just a touch off hence my 90percent opinion dont need to do research I already did it homie pretty sure i even posted some of the results somewhere on here about 3 years ago i had a Hoodoo Skunk cross i was gifted on here do it when i kept the herm beans and grew them out when i didnt have any fems and was short on smoke.It served its purpose.Ill leave it as is.Youll see someday

I’m not messing with it. 5 other plants in the tent went through the same stresses and just one hermed (so far). Of course it’s gotta be the prettiest looking & smelling one. I’ve got loads of seeds & the other tent is starting a new run and intentionally creating fem seeds is on the work order this go around. I don’t feel like plucking bananas for another couple weeks.
Can a selfed plants DNA be a 90% match to the parent plant? Absolutely it can - however this will be based solely on the makeup of the parent plant. If the parent plant is a poly hybrid - it’s a mess of recessive and heterogeneous traits at each loci - meaning it’s a gamble for each of the traits attached at that bit of the genetic code. Heterozygous loci will mostly segregate randomly, leading to various combinations.
The math gets complicated when you factor in the recessive genes, but if the parent is homozygous at a particular loci, the progeny will inherit the same allele from both gametes, 100%. On the flip side due to random segregation of alleles, progeny will share only 50% similarity, on average, at the specific loci that are heterozygous.
The total genetic similarity depends on the proportion of homozygous and heterozygous loci in the parent strain that was selfed. With today’s dominating polyhybrids it would take a good amount of selfings to get to 90% in most cases.
It’s going to be a toss up in many cases because of how extensive we’ve crossed cannabis.in every direction without pause for homozygosity.

Exactly, unless clones.
