Hi All,
Just thought I would share my recent experience with my run of LAD
grow specs:
Vegged under 400w MH
1KW aircon hood cooled 4x4 tent maintaining ~80f
House and garden base nutes, roots excellurator, multizyme, floralicious, DM silica and some nitrozyme in veg.
Coco peat / vermiculite perlite mixture.
Popped 10 LAD seeds, vegged for 4 weeks under the MH and then put into flower under the 1KW.
By first week of flower I had 8 confirmed hermies, 1 confirmed male and 1 which I later confirmed to be female.
By confirmed hermie this is what I had on all 8 (replace invalid with imgur .. some reason wont post my pics):

Note the bulbous nubs, however further up the plant it looked female as one would hope.
In another forum, Karma suggested plucking them off as it is apparently a common trait among some strains, so I did so and kept them running another week only to discover the nubs now spreading further up the plant and around the female clusters... down came the 8 (male was chopped as soon as i found nanner clusters).
My remaining 1 LAD female had me excited, looking like a super yeilder and smelling delicious, now at 4wks into flower:

Only to find it almost totally seeded in the lower branches with nanners busted open at the bottom of the female flowers... chopped heshe straight away :( ... probably why the clones rooted in 5-6 days.
Now before anyone starts slamming what might be wrong with my grow, I can guarantee that there was nothing wrong from start to chop, I still have 10/10 of fem seeds that I got as freebies with the LAD with no hermie signs... not that there should be with perfect temperatures, no nute burn or overfeed issues, airflow, perfect lighting conditions (100% no light leaks)... but being someone that normally bags out fem seeds due to higher hermie prone issues, this has me somewhat bitter and eating my words.
9 LAD's going hermie and 1 male... almost baffles belief but given my disappointment and expectations I have to post this report for others to see.
