DoomsdaysCW<p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Herming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Herming</span></a>: How female plants turn male</p><p>"Cannabis plants are <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/dioecious" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dioecious</span></a>, meaning they can be either male or female. Female plants are particularly prized since they form buds rich in psychoactive cannabinoids. For most growers, maintaining a crop free of male plants is critical to ensure that those female buds are not pollinated. </p><p>"Like all plants, however, cannabis has an inherent drive to procreate by propagating seeds. One way it achieves this is by herming — when female plants become hermaphroditic to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SelfPollinate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SelfPollinate</span></a>. Learn how to tell female and male cannabis plants apart, how you can prevent herming, and what to look out for if you're new to growing cannabis. </p><p>What is herming and why does it happen?</p><p>"A <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/hermaphroditic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hermaphroditic</span></a> plant contains both female and male sex organs, and the tendency for cannabis plants to herm means that growers must take extra care to minimize any stressors that may cause the plant to perceive a threat and change its sex. According to Bruce Perlowin, CEO of Hemp, Inc., 'Stress is the fundamental cause of hermaphroditic plants, or 'hermies.' Some examples of stressors are not enough water, too much water, not enough nutrients, or too much heat. It can happen at any time in the life cycle of a plant from a new plant to a very mature one.'"</p><p><a href="https://weedmaps.com/learn/the-plant/herming-female-plants-turn-male" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">weedmaps.com/learn/the-plant/h</span><span class="invisible">erming-female-plants-turn-male</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WeExist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WeExist</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GenderFascists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GenderFascists</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GenderFluid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GenderFluid</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NonBinary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NonBinary</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TransRightsAreHumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransRightsAreHumanRights</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TransPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransPeople</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GenderFluidPlants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GenderFluidPlants</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TransAndNonBinaryRightsAreHumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransAndNonBinaryRightsAreHumanRights</span></a></p>
DoomsdaysCW<p>Even plants change gender! Again, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MotherNature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MotherNature</span></a> ! I've seen marijuana plants change gender right before my eyes!</p><p>This Amazing Plant Changes Gender from Year to Year</p><p>"<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Amorphophallus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Amorphophallus</span></a> remains a unique occupant in the world of plants, and visitors to the Chicago Botanic Garden recently experienced the fascinating bloom cycle with the titan arum Sprout. However, there is an additional denizen of the Araceae (a.k.a. Aroid, a.k.a. Arum) family with rare and exceptional attributes, which also bloomed at the Garden.</p><p>"Japanese cobra lily (Arisaema ringens) has an uncanny, serpent-shaped, flower and possesses a remarkable ability to do something that few other plants can do: change its gender from year to year.</p><p>"Arisaema species (jacks), are paradioecious, which means that the blooms of an individual plant can be male one year and female the next. Young plants produce male flowers with pollen until they are mature enough to produce fruit. When they have accumulated enough energy to fruit, they produce a female flower that will hopefully become pollinated.</p><p>"However, after an exhausting round of fruit set, the plant may take a break and produce male flowers the next year. Producing pollen, rather than fruit, saves energy. Unhealthy conditions or damage to a female flowering plant can also cause it to produce male flowers the next time around.</p><p>"Basically, Japanese cobra lilies change sex for a period of time to save energy and allow themselves time to recover.
