Should I Chop?

[Xs121]

I had a Rare Dankness Scott’s OG fem herm on me, seeded all the plants in the tent a little bit. I have been sitting on those beans for a while, they were all fems. I should pop some. I keep thinking about it.

Scott’s OG x Strawberry Diesel sounds pretty good.

I have the same apprehension when I planted those seeds but was curious enough to see the result. IMO, hermie in cannabis is a complex process. I mean, the right stressor and the right hormone have to be present to produce those hermies. You could be stressing the plants but if the right hormone is not there, it wont force to hermie.

Would love to go on some phenotypically searches and dabble with breeding etc but i'm behind enemy lines. Outdoors is the bomb. Love it.

Elites in terms of hybrid vigor...vigorous growth and above normal yield... when 2 unrelated healthy parents are crossed you created an F1 which comes with heterosis or commonly known as hybrid vigor. The problem with F1 is that it's not a stable phenotype. So, when you breed that pheno with another strain or even among brother x sister...the resulting phenotypes would be all over the place.

If this F1 turns out to be the bomb then keep crossing 1988G13/Hashplant X Udub (Dank Zappa from Bodhi)...(if you still have the parents)....then use the F1 as your production plants. The trick is to keep the parents going if you like their F1 otherwise you might have to stabilize that F1 (which requires some serious breeding program).

I heard Bodhi had killer was familiar with the genetics, wanted to get high ASAP. Got a pack of regs picked out a nice fat seed vegged 2 weeks then flowered.

Thank you, the grow has been done with nothing but organics, with a caveat. I used fish emulsion and compost tea during veg and FF Tiger Bloom/compost tea during flowering with the last couple weeks adding a little molasses.

Caveat is that I used an organic "3-6-5" pellet fertilizer, granted at about 1/3 strength but it says to be replenished every 30 days and it's been almost twice that since I added a little to the soil.

Edit: I'm high, my point was I don't know how much of that is/can be flushed or even really what it is.

If you are going to smoke it with family and friends IMO water only the last 3 weeks. You will have a smooth smoke that you can take huge hits of. Maybe yield will suffer a bit

That's what I'm hoping for is smooth smoke I can share with friends. It's all it's for man!

Just kidding, I grew a few tiny plants in my closet so I could get rich and buy a hot rod Lincoln. Still trying to get pops to drink.

Basically one is starting the curing process early by doing this. Nothing wrong with it, if that’s your preference. Curing takes less time when one does a pre-harvest flush because it reduces the amount of chlorophyll and other plant sugars that need to be broken down during cure.

Personally, I prefer keep them pretty green until chop and cure it for a longer period of time. Two months minimum, when I can afford to be patient. I think the overall results are better this way. A perfect three month cure is a magical thing. This run I will probably flush and do a two week cure, I am out of weed after a year without a decent grow.

In case anyone cares, I chopped it.

I found a single cluster of 3 nanners just starting to poke through the bud. It was in roughly the same place. I used LST on both of the plants, the one that I showed that was heavily seeded and chopped earlier and this one in question. On both instances the nanners came on the bud set directly above the "big bend" in the main stalk, where it curled. So it sounds like a cross of genetics and stress, since they were seeds from the exact same piece of bud and this happened.


Anyway, I tried to find the nanner after I took it in the garage to trim to take a picture. But, after I trimmed all the fan leaves, I couldn't find it.

Scrotums like to pop open at the bottom of the bud too. LST causing hermaphroditism? No way. Hermies are spread across the genetic line as a defense mechanism to ensure the populations survival. Just my opinion. If you get a chance try LST outdoors in full sun. You will be happy.
