I’m only doing one plant I’m gonna be so mad if it herms

If you don't know about nanners, look into that also. I got a couple nanners on my first run. U can pluck them off, tho I caught mine a little late. Didn't cause any real damage tho, got a couple seeds from it...

This plant just continues to impress me! Not only in overall plant size, but also in bud growth too. It's the leader of the pack. And it's just flat-out fucking beautiful.

Coming on nicely bro

That sucks. Hopefully its the only one. I found a hermie in a strain thats very stable and not known for it (multiple cannabis cup winner). So it happens to the best of us.

I've also found them late in flowering. Usually when that happens they are sterile and don't create any seeds. Just pop off the sacs and keep chugging along.

This one was early enough that it's a good thing you caught it and chopped it down. It won't be good for anything but compost material.

I wonder what @thunderfudge has to say about it. Hopefully it's just a fluke.

Thanks bro:)

If I remember correctly, I think he said to keep an eye out for it this week. But the silver lining is I needed some room for my chromatose plant anyway lol

Just discovered this

Ah shit bro . Luckily never had a hermie yet, at least you have spotted if before too late .

 

[Monster762]

Yeah that’s one thing about fem seeds. They will produce females but the process in creating the fem seed introduces hermie traits into the gene pool. By forcing a parent to reverse that will in some way be handed down to offspring. How dominant? who knowsThat’s what test runs are for.

I’m no pro. That’s from no book just how I figure it. Your more stable stuff should be from reg seeds that never had the reverse in the ancestry. With all the hybrids n all now almost everything has had a fem seed plant in its cross somewheres down the line.
Nanners. I just had one around day 40 or so I think.
They will pop right out the bud like said

but I had 1 show underneath this time. Yellow nubs. They open up n pollenate. Mine was open when I saw n plucked it but no seeds ( hopefully) still maybe 2 weeks left.

In my experience if stress is induced by a chemical means then that trait is usually not dominantly expressed in its progeny.

If stress is induced by means of natural stressors then the progeny may be a little more susceptible to that trait but not necessarily. This method tends to show just how hermie prone a strain might be by how easily it induced.

All strains contain the ability to hermie as it’s their mechanism for survival in the Wild we are just toying with these traits to our advantage.

However Sour Larry Lime Pebbles is not a feminized strain. It’s a regular seed with both males and females at random. So it shouldn’t really apply here.

All makes sense bro , good post . I normally grow from clones however this time round I have a tent of 5 autos which I have never grown before (auto thunderfuck k ) and 2 photoperiods from seed I’m another tent (skittelz).......
The different phenos make feeding and training harder work . Have taken some
Clones of the skittelz from
My preferred pheno and will run with this on my next run .if you have clones that you have grown before you have a massive advantage over seeds.

 

[JWM2]

Clones are nice but they’ve been done before. Meaning there’s little mystery to them unless you have a shady source and then that’s a whole nother set of problems, lol.

But seeds can give you something special you never realized you wanted.

Sure you can get frustrated by seeds more so than with a clone but you also have the possibility of winning the lottery and finding something truly remarkable.

With clones you’ll never have anything better than the mom it came from. With seeds you always have a chance of something exponentially better than its parents.

Of course the risk for getting something equally shitty is always there but you can’t win unless you risk losing.

But we all have different goals with our journey and it’s not for everyone. But for me the thrill of the mystery is what keeps me going and hunting.

It definitely is fun starting from seed. It's very much like the lottery, but it's so cool to know you literally have the possibility of finding the best strain this world has ever seen!

True. Again like Jurassic park says life finds a way. That’s why late late when pushing em they will try to pollenate themselves as a last effort to reproduce.

Some good points made there . You are rite in that it all depends on individual circumstances and what your
after . Me personally , I am moving from my current rental property to somewhere more suited for growing once this run is over and the £££ from this run will Be to pay for my deposit for the new place so ideally I could have done with predictability on this grow and clones would have provided me with this . However once I am set up in my new place I would will have an extra tent for experimenting and growing strains for my personal smoke So seed all the way

Yeah growing in any form is definately it’s own fun. I found something really nice from seed.
Honestly better than anything I’ve ever had. And so far anyone who tries it agreees. But idk I can’t lab it. ( any ideas? Dc area) And the mothers gone. I’ve got one clone left from her that had broad mites bad. trying to save her. She’s big now so it’s hard to keep her clean n all with good light in an iso room. Still see little twisting but scope clean. It’s a struggle but trying to save it. My last seed of it didn’t pop. N wouldn’t be exact anyways. So seed def has advantages. But every seed is different. Once that one is gone it’s gone.

For sure. It of course depends on your goal for the grow. If you’re trying to turn a profit and can’t afford to lose then obviously seeds aren’t a viable option.

If you are a medical user and have ailments that need certain strains or characteristics and you need regular medicine then seeds aren’t an ideal solution either.

If you are a casual smoker who likes to blow the tits off friends and have bragging rights and be known as a grow god then seeds can do a lot to help you accomplish that.

The general public knows little about this stuff. They don’t know the intricacies of genetics and growing. They just know this stuff tastes like blueberries. This shit is sticky. This one makes me sleepy or this one makes me happy. So it’s not hard to come off as an authority figure to most of the population. But if you give them something they’ve never had before it elevates you to god like status in their minds and they’ll take your word as gospel.

So it just depends on goals and your end game and what motivates you to grow.

I personally like giving away a large portion of my grows just to see people happy and enjoy themselves. For Christmas this year I handed out 1/4 oz jars of fresh AK47 and each person who got one seemed to love it. None of them had it before and they really appreciated the gesture. I didn’t ask for anything in return but their honest opinion and for me that’s good enough.

As other strains matured and became available I handed out samples of them to see how they liked it. So far so good. I just like to see them light up when you hand them something they’ve never experienced before. To me that’s payment enough and makes me feel good about my minor role on the planet.

Damn I just realized I’ve been rambling for damn near 20 minutes typing this shit out. My apologies to those who brave the task of reading my dribble. Haha.

Clone the shit out of her bro. Don’t go so far as to kill her off but definately get some backup copies to have just in case.

That's awesome you do that tho. I wish I would have had more from my first grow to share with people. Once I get everything dialed in and producing for me, I imagine I will have plenty to give away. I don't do this to make money, but it's always cool to impress people and make friends and family happy.

I only smoked stuff from my first grow with one other person besides my wife, and he said it was the best he ever smoked. I know it wasn't even that great, but the bar is pretty low around here I guess lol

Yeah that’s the best part. Most are used to commercial quality stuff so anything done on a small scale with time and care put into it really knocks their socks off.

I compare it to strawberries you can buy at Walmart. Sure they are nice and big but they lack any real flavor. The strawberries you get at the local farmers market are small and deep red and blow your mind with intense flavor. Sure they cost more and you won’t get as much for the money but the quality is so much better.

Strawberry shortcake with farmers market berries is something to behold.

Took some cuttings last night. Gonna try my hand at Rockwool.
