Ok quick qestion, That hermie that i had, i seperated it and cut the balls off of it, did not have the heart to kill it. Ok now that i have it seperated i had to come up with a different setup for it. My other ladies are under HPS this one i decided to go CFL this is what i got. Its an 85 WATT (Same as 400 W) CFL it says 5,500 LUMENS and 5000K Color. Is this going to be sufficient for Flowering?? CFLs are confusing. LOL THanks alot guys

As long as you have some reflective material and shit you should be ok, the harvest will be skimpy on that one but it'll work and you'll get some feminised seeds out of it! But you wanna take it back and get 2100k (more red) rather than 5500k (more blue)


@HHM

A female plant that knocks it self up will give you fem seeds, the only thing is they have a greater chance of becoming hermies themselves.

Right on, thats always what i thought and I have not done any research on it so thanks for clarifying it. I am going to take back that 5000 K CFL and get me some 2700k to flower this hermie.

I will still get buds with a hermie right? I got some jackass in another thread telling me that all THC production will stop, i dont think this is true because i grew up in the MIDWEST getting BAGS OF BUD full of seeds!! I used to get some pretty good weed, just seeded...anyone?

The energy will be switched from buds to seed development. Less seeds more weed.

You'll end up with some real pretty regs/mids/schwag
