I recently ran 5 Dinafem Cheese XXL autos. All five came out nicely, but one in particular had a super cheesy, skunky smell and flavor. The smell kind of reminds me of the artificial beef flavoring they use on potato chips, which I know sounds weird, but it's lovely.
As I'm smoking it I've realized that some of the lower buds are seeded. I haven't found a single seed in any of the other plants, so I'm 99% sure this plant hermied at some point and seeded itself. I didn't spot any bananas/balls while it was growing but I know they can be easy to miss. It did go through some stress towards the end of it's life.
I'm saving the seeds I find. I know that if I grew them out it would have the same hermie trait, but I can live with that as it's only a few buds that are seeded, and the taste/potency/smell are top notch on this pheno (it may have only hermied due to stress anyway).
My question is -
Assuming that this plant DID seed itself, if I grow these seeds out am I guaranteed a kind of carbon copy of same plant as if it were cloned? Same smell/taste/effect? Or is it still a roll of the pheno dice?
