thats exactly what happened to me (as everyone knows). Femmed beans (due to limited space) and a bushy cannopy that prohibited me from lookin underneath for male flowers. When i "caught" it, t'was too late. Seeded crop.
When u r growin femmed, u gotta be very carefull and alwsy checkin for hermies. But if your temps go over 27C, then most chances are your plants will "turn".
I ve had my fan/temp controller at 25C but that doesnt mean anything in the summer time. Temps will rise anyway.
Like Dan said, its so much better to use regular beans. You can stress em like a mofo and most chances are they wont turn on you. Then u keep a mom and you re set for future grows
Or better yet u grow a few males and have plenty of beans for the future.
Seaflo, since you mentioned DP. I ve used femmed from DP a few times. Never again. They re famous for going hermie (especially their blue line). Forget dutch seed banks. The future is in Canadian (or west coast) breeders
The only ones with a good rep for femmed are Paradise. They take 100 plants and stress them repeatedly to turn hermie. the one or two plants that dont "turn", those are the ones that make it for their femmed-beans production.
