I've seen another of your thread and your temps are running on the hot side arent they? i would think that might be whats causing them to herm

I have been away from this thread for a while...............I have done large grows with my hermie seeds and have never tossed out a plant from these seeds, I trim the lower branches and focus more on a SOG type grow. By keeping the light tight and not stressing the plants in anyway it minimizes the chances of these plants also turning hermie, if they do, I dont see a downside, you still get a shitload of killer bud and a nice pull of female seeds. It sure beats buying seeds, or vegging mothers for a long period of time to get enough clone cuttings to fill up grow spaces then veg and flower. I only veg for 3 weeks and flower for 7, 10 weeds start to finish and it only cost me power for 1000w hps and flora series nutes.

Does that really work?

yep, with the hermie plants the only downside is some plants will have seeds in the bud, pick the seeds out and what do you have? bud, lots of it. take those seeds, grow' em out and keep the cycle going, you will have an endless supply of female plants and seeds.

i agree with hydro chris just pick off herm flowers youll probably get a few seeds but theyll be fem seeds. i have a master kush that is herming slightly but is otherwise very nice. i just remove with tweezers you could even preserve th pollen and crossbreed with it make female crosses that are f-1 generation. i may try this if i can collect enough:peace:

how gentle where you when you bent her during 12/12, from what i understand they dont like to be stressed during the flowereing cycle can lead to herm. I would try and suspend your lights higher using chains or pully cables to lower it/raise etc... and go Indica if hight is issue. That way you wont have to bend or F with the plant during flowering. My opinion anyway GL

i recently had a plant get too tall so i recently tried the pinching method of slowing vertical growth ill let everyone know how it affects them i did this to 2 plants.

if a plant gets too tall you can either try bending and tying down the top or if you are still in the vegetative state just cut the top off completely.

you'd be amazed at the results of pinching and twisting...make marines out of them! they can be trained any way, and can hold up 20 lb. buds!

20 lb. buds???? May I have one please? I'll trade you for this mendo blendo plant that is 5 inches tall and 6 months old. Not sure what's up with this one but if it ever gets a bud, I'm sure it's going to be killer!

It is very true that Hermie seeds have higher inclinations of also becoming hermie. Out of the few ways to make feminized seeds the only i know of is the use of gibberellins on female to produce male organ further pollination with this pollen creates feminized seeds. This stemming from the fact that the pollen has no Y chromosomes being it is only Female No possibillty of Male. I have no idea if THese fem seeds can or will hermie, any idea on this dilema?
I have heard complaints to that effect about feminized seeds.

mendo blendo/ sounds like mini-me! EEEEEEEE! I'd take a clone and turn it into a bonsai!..nice glazed pottery...train it into a middle finger salute, and sell it on e-bay! I need another hit!

i heard that female can produce polen bags under stress
this mechanism is responsible for the plant survival strategy.
one plant produce more plants. i think the seeds will be feminized.
the great mother nature is awesome!

the pinching appears to have halted vertical growth but the buds above the pinch are still developing this seems to be a better less stressfull option than actual topping:peace:
