Well i pulled the trigger and got a 1000w HPS cooled hood scrubber and inline fan end of last week buds have exploded with growth since adding this, it has an adjustable dimmer so been running it at 600 first few days now have bumped it to 750. Just think they are to close to hood to run the 1000 or 1000+ and no way to raise the light.
Getting some purpling on my main stalks what causes that cal/mag or P def? Just noticed it this morning have seen it on some leaf steams last few days.
Ok well i wont worry about it then unless it starts to get worse i did a top dress of tomato tone and kelp meal this morning so if it is phos that should help correct it in a few days. OFF TO WORK!
Purple stems are usually genetics, or mag deficiency. Your plants isn't showing me any signs of phosphorus deficiency. I would add a little epson that far into flower.
Yeah most seed banks have a disclaimer on there gg4 seeds stating that but who cares I hope I get seeds off mine I'll grow it again mine they about 100 nanners at the first few weeks of flower and have seen nothing since
Unfortunately it's not very simply explained (or even entirely understood). Keep in mind the goal of the plant is to ensure it's genetics live on, not to produce premium buds like we'd prefer. So retaining the ability to reproduce asexually in response to stressors (likelihood strain dependent) is like a built in survival contingency. Although most plants have flowers with both male and female sex organs, there are several thousands of plant species where male or female flowers form on different individuals (dioecious). Most cannabis plants are dioecious. Monoecious plants, often called hermaphrodites, though not always classified correctly, do exist. Surprisingly, the presence of well-established sex chromosomes in these dioecious plants is rare. The best-described example is white campion, for which large sex chromosomes have been identified and mapped partially. A recent study presented a comprehensive genetic and physical mapping of the genome of dioecious papaya. It revealed a short male specific region on the Y chromosome (MSY) that does not recombine with the X chromosome, providing strong evidence that the sex chromosomes originated from a regular pair of autosomes. The primitive papaya Y chromosome thus represents an early event in sex chromosome evolution. There's always more to know. Here's a link you may find interesting.

I know this is an ancient article But I was replying because I don't understand why somebody here says just because That one seed came off of a hermaphrodite that most likely also will become hermaphrodite?
Well you can't create a stabilized strain from feminized seed The only way you can create stabilized strains, I said stabilized strain is with bona fide real male and real female plants not feminized but you can create something strange and different then you we have a plant that is called clone only? Never really having honest to goodness stabilized seeds So if your clone only dies and you didn't clone your clone only then your clone only will no longer be only or lonely because it will disappear completely quite franklyHe never said anything about the plant being feminized and feminized plants are notorious for going hermie so many experienced growers won't grow them. I never have.
If you get seed(s) from a bud grown from a feminized plant then it grew balls somewhere so you tell me where the male chromosome came from. I'm a chemist, not a geneticist.
I just know the basics of how genes work. To get into stabilizing a strain I'd have to have a good manual at hand and refer to it often to stay on the right track. Fun to do some pollen chucking and see what you get from various crosses tho.
