mate i didn't even read your hole post but skunk man is dead wrong on this and if you reamber over at icmag i had this same discussion with sam and he basically sed i was full of shit well i grew out a Thia as i did at cw and guess what the female Thia plant each grow stayed as a female and never showed one male flower.
The guy from i think its the real seed co who traveled threw Thailand spoke to the farmers/growers they also told him the same thing i have been saying on line about Thia for years they do not Hermie repeat for all reading this they do not Hermie once they have been sexed and are female.
Sativas if there going to show hermies they will at sexing Thias like a few other pure sativa lines only ever showed hermaphrodites at sexing thats it once you culled them and the females and males were sexed they stayed as female or males.
How many seeds did you guys ever see in Thia sticks in the 70s and 80s ? not many if any at all.
hi mr hempy ,
i think u must have gotten lucky with your plant ,
how many did you grow and what was your source of seed?
ive grown heaps of sativas over the years ,, plenty from those thai sticks also , lots of hermies in all stages of flowering , from the beginning to the very end they would show .
not all plants did this ,,
but the ones that did there was no real cut off point like you say ,
some would show male flowers half way into flowering ,, toward the end , at the beginning etc etc ..
we still grow sativas outdoors ,
we still see the same thing ..
it would be a real blessing if it was like you say ,
we could cull the offending plants and the rest of the crop would be clean ..
but your the only one i know of that says it .
the very few seeds from those thai sticks , how do you think they got there?
