I fully believe that science has the capability to induce this in Cannabis. Biotech has really come a long way. But it most likely doesn’t happen naturally in Cannabis.
What I have been saying the whole thread is that some guy finding 1 seed in his bud is almost certainly the result of an errant stamen.
Interestingly, Arabidopsis swi1/dyad mutants can set seeds when pollinated with wild-type pollen, although such seeds were found to be triploids owing to unreduced female gametes due to mitosis-like division [61]
Not really.
I feel that you have some errors in your statement.
I feel this is really what you have been saying…
“What I have been saying the whole thread is that some guy finding 1 seed in his bud is certainly the result of an errant stamen.”
I have been saying almost the same exact thing with a twist of course.

One could say my mind is open to that possibility.
I believe that if it is scientifically possible, nature can and will find a way to make it happen.
This is an interesting statement?
Is this a new outlook from you.
In previous posts you stated you felt it was not even possible at all.
But now you say it most likely does not happen.
I am thinkin’ just maybe you are opening up to the fact that it could in fact happen.
But I may be reaching a bit here…LOL
I truly feel it makes good sense to keep an open mind about this sorta thing…
Whaaaaat the f…
Let’s all take a cup of tea guys, shouldn’t we ?
It was really interesting, in the beginning, now we all now that we don’t really know. I think we can agree on this “scientifically proven” fact.
Edit: repeat after me : "all I know is I know nothing "
Edit 2: no offence, I love all of you and the courage to defend your opinions
Edit 3: now I regret having lost time in reading and in answering…
Wow, that is unusual.
After rereading this thread I realized I missed this.
I find it very interesting, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
I have never seen or even heard of this.
Has anyone else?
I had few experiences with this from outdoor to indoor.
Outdoor was a real enigma because no other plants in the surroundings, no male no hermies, and unable to find any bananas on plants. Though, we could find some single empty female bag on some plants (around 20% of the whole crop).
Now, 10 years, y’all got me from broscience to proper science. Much obliged.
I go tell my outdoor guerilla compadres about this.
Indoor, I admit I’ve put the blame first to my friends inducing some stress, with light and also hydric stress.
But then , when all known causes were eliminated we put the blame on the breeder ( royal queen seeds). Even a youtuber from the states is saying it ; " Breeders having no ethics not doing enough stress test, so no wonder you have hermies, selfies ".
I’m actually finishing a nightmare filled with this kind of herms. But i initially signed for it, i knew the state of the line and planned to screen it.
had a fem auto produce a single nanner and single seed on the whole plant this summer. couldnt find anything else in it and ive been through all the bud. seed was underdeveloped seems like whatever happened it happened around week 3/4 flower.
Crops that possess apomixis can form seeds without fertilization. Seeds from such plants have exactly the same genetic make-up as the mother plant that produces them.
