Seeds from plants

In my state clones are on waiting list and expensive. I make my own seed plants but don't know what to name the Plants. I had a male plant (Banana Kush) crossed with a (Pineapple Upside Down) that gave pretty
good buds but what do I call the plant? Is this plant consider a hybrid? Any help would be appreciated.
 
Yes it would be a hybrid, bread from 2 hybrids, I have done it too,,, I call one of mine Widowbanger (headbanger X white widow) and an old one was Tulsa Tops.
Do they do anything special? Turn colours? What smell/taste do they have? Some of mine from the same plant (headbanger X Himalaya blue diesel) have different tastes and smells, some good some not so good (alfalfa), but the high is good. These are tagged HBDB, one of another (headbanger X white Moscow) has a nice smell and taste of pineapple,,, simply tagged MB. I may not give these a name

Howdy hclll6, I do not know about the naming, like Shakespeare said "a roes by any other name.....", but as far as seeds for reproducing one's plants, I have found that seeds produced on a female plant from stressing and forming 'nanners', does produce female plants. I have been growing using the nanner'ed seeds from my plants for the last four grows and they have all produced female plants (currently on the fourth grow). The stress to cause the nanners to form were either from light cycle interruptions and / or heat stress (temperatures between 85° and 95° F during the bloom cycle). During my last grow, I kept the temperature below 80° F and did not get any seeds at all, so during the current grow, I am keeping the temperature above 80° F and closer towards 90° F.
 
i dont really care about the name and i find very difficult to come up with them so i just basically just number them, i assign each pheno a number and a single letter to know the strain it comes from, for example 2Y , 3Z , 5E. i crossed 2 and 3 so the seeds i grow from that are named 23A, 23B, 23C. over time some phenos will stand out one way or another, you are going to keep cloning them and having them around and eventually start calling them by that distinctive trait, for me one is the purple 23, other is the sativa 23, other is the chocolate 23. one is purple, one is very bushy and stretchy, one is very very sweet. i took the purple 23 and back crossed it with the 2Y mom so those are 23S1, 23S2, etc (squared). then i took the cocolate 23 and crossed it with another very different line i called B and used several females for pollen so no number. the resulting seeds are called 23B1, 23B2, 23B3... etc. thats enough for me to know its the 2Y crossed with the 3Z and then crossed with the B line. the female is always listed first so if i were to use the 23 as a pollen donor on the B plants it would be called B23. thats just what i do and i know its kinda fucked up and confusing. but works for me.
 
DW2 so your nanner seeds grow good buds without them going hermie on you? I thought they were more prone to hermie being that they came from hermie parents?
 
A man after my own heart. I had several alphanumeric names. Then I said screw it, ones I like for daytime meds, ones for night time. Good enough.
 
I am positive my Gold Lemon from Golden leaf Colorado was a hermie baby. 2 years abs dozens of clones later, its still kicking ass
 
Cali, I think that true hermaphroditic plants are the ones that actually produce the female flowers (with pistils or stigma) and male flowers (the little 'balls' that look like green miniature pecans, and I could be wrong! will not be the first time nor the last. LOL!), and the the nanners are a female flowers reaction to induced stress, in order to propagate the plant. In other agricultural endeavors, the producer will induce stress (by less irrigation or other means) to fore the plants to produce more fruit.
As I stated before, the same seeds from a nanner'ed parent did not produce more nanners when the growing temperatures were kept at a lower level, and produced a quantity of nanners (and seeds) when stressed by higher grow temperatures.
And I have not had any true hermie plants show up, so far.
