Hey
My farming buddy and I have messed up bad and I think our crop is ruined. The following is our story. Advice would be appreciated.
We built a pretty big dep house and filled it with 100 clones of 707, Chemdog and Purple Diesel. We were doing drain to waste with drip irrigation through a coir, perlite, azomite, and potting soil mix in white plastic 5-gallon grow bags. Everything seemed to be going well in the beginning. The cuttings rooted well and grew quickly in our fluffy medium. Figuring that most of our micronutes were being covered by the azomite, we just gave them earthjuice 16-0-0 for the first few weeks, as well as a little cal and mag supplements. After a few weeks we moved the clones from an indoor grow room, where they were under 24 hour metal halides, to the greenhouse. We figured they would sort of half-flower for a week or so, and then start to really flower after we started depping them. But we made a couple mistakes. We didn't have our depping situation very well figured out at first, so they sat in an undepped greenhouse for two weeks while the days got longer and longer. Even when we started depping them there were still light leaks. Also, we never really got on a very consistent depping schedule. We would just sort of dep them when we got around to it, sometimes an hour later than other days. Just the other day, we noticed that all the 707s and all the Chemdogs were totally hermed out. There were male flowers all over almost all the plants. They were falling off in bunches like grapes. Interestingly enough, though, the Purple Diesels have no male flowers. Another note: a little guinea pig plant that we keep outside hermed out as well. This leads us to believe we got crappy old genetics in our clones. We didn't have much control over the source of our clones, and we think perhaps they were old. Now we're pretty much screwed. I figure all the bud will be seeded, including the Purple Diesels. We're trying to figure out how to get a little money out of this still. Maybe selling seeds? Our plan as of today is to just go around legging the plants and also trying to get as many male flowers off as possible, then trimming out as many seeds as we can and selling the resulting product for maybe a few hundred bucks somehow. Thanks for reading our story of woe. Yahwey is angry at our greenhouse and we are smited. Cest la vie. Peace out.
