What I know about breeding can be fit on the head of a pin with room to spare but I thought that Sativas especially those from Thailand have a high tendency to hermie?

Keep in mind that if I'm just growing for myself then seeds don't bother me.
.
That’s what happened to all the old sativas from the east coast people just kept using the seeds that were caused by herms. Each trait in inherits one gene from the mother and one from the father so the further down a line you go using herm seeds the chances of the offspring having a matching herm gene passed on exponentially increases. The issue is worse with Thai genes it seems like in Thais the herm gene is the dominant gene not a recessive. If you want to try and keep that line going you need to either select a female that shows the least signs of herming even when stressed which is the easiest bit,then you need to find a male from the same line and or a male from another strain that when bred with its offspring have at least fewer herms than the original strain. Then either keep outcrossing or backcrossing till a reasonable level of stable offspring result from each generation. It’s a long hard process that may not give the results you’d want but if no one takes on a project like that it will become another lost Aussie heirloom variety.

lol ill keep an eye on em if thay go funny ill flush
They should be right. Think you’ve got this whole flushing business a bit wrong,if you really fucked up and put 6.2 ec then yeah flush it straight away but it’s more a gradual build up. A good thing to do is start measuring ph and ec of your run off and taking notes so you can see on paper where you are at.

*remember take your time and don’t rush when your mixing nutes and if your not sure measure your levels again it only takes a few seconds.

Once you see the numbers and you see a bit of a pattern start to form it’s easier to understand than some guy saying feed this amount or flush at week 2 and 6. I flushed once at the beginning of week 8 that’s it if you monitor your feed in and out levels and don’t let the coco dry out you don’t really need to flush at all.
