My 2 plants turned hermi and I am sick!What went wrong?Is it ok for light leakage during veg?During flower will turn them right?Are they junk now?Or should I take them to maturity or should I start over?Will they still have Medicinal value?What about the seeds would they be any good?I am about4-5 weeks into flower and the blooms I saw are mainly on the lower branches.Just a couple popped I tried to get all the balls I could find and I didn't see any on the much more developed tops.I am using cfl's for lighting and I let them get to tall in veg.I now know I should of did a sea of green because there is very little development on the bottom branches.But the tops look better.Or possibly LST.Any comments will be greatly appreciated.

SOG with all indicas is probably your way forward if you want to stick with CFL's. Any light leaks during the dark period when flowering is the main catalyst for bringing out hermis in a female plant. What were the seeds?

Hi. The plants will have medicinal value even if they hermie. You're so far in flower that you should definitely see them to the end.

If you find any seeds from the bud from this plant the seeds are likely produce more hermies unfortunately but some pure females too. You can grow them out (just be prepared for some/a lot of them to be hermies) but you don't want to use them for making new seeds so that the hermie tendency doesn't get passed on.

Thanks much guys.I will see them through.I have such a small space (18"x38"x52") I am reluctant to buy an h.i.d.Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.I am growing out some good bagseed unknown origin found 2 seeds in a zip and planted them.Any suggestions for a good sog strain?Would clones be hermies?Would a 150 hps work in my space.I am using soil with foxfarm nutes. Thanks again my brothers.

if its anatural herm then clones will,they are just copies.If its enviromental then they will have the possibility of herming under stress condtions.
get rid fella and save yourself a headache further down the line.
good luck

Yeah don't make clones from these plants.. The reason they are hermieing might be that one of the parents hermied and that's why there was a seed in your "sensi" in the first place.. But I don't think that's what you meant but whether or not you should use a clone for your next grow.. and well, as phoenix says, a clone is just a clone and it really depends on the plant it was taken from.

I'd imagine a 150W HPS should be manageable in that space but since you say you're reluctant to buy one there's always the option of buying more CFL's and adding them to your setup.

Good SOG strain hmm I think I've heard AK-47 is one but to be honest I don't really understand why hererisssh recommended that style of growing for your rather small space, maybe he'll drop in and let us know.. :) I'd go with a SCROG or use LST.

looking good there...A couple of things..The buds will be smaller for 2 reasons, on CFL's don't put out a high luman output so the buds just don't get as fat as say with a HID and when a plant starts seeding, she puts all her energy into producing the seed. You will def. have some value from the plant but I suggest that you do a good inspection of your plants every few days and remove any bananas that you might find. they like to hide up under the flower so just looking at tops is just not good enough. Some plants have a natural tendency to hermie and their ofspring will most often produce hermie tendencies. I was growing a strand that I found asa bag seed after 3 generations of seeds the flowers became more than I could chase. I've kept a few incase I want to try to do a cross with something stable in the future. By the way, seeds produced on a plantthat flowers and polinates itself will be femanized but like said before will hol the hermie trate. Good luck to you and good smokin!!
