Man one of the huge pieces of breeding is ensuring stability in your lines. A herm every now and then isn’t really an issue in a line that has a parent known to throw herm offspring. But a majority of phenos herming is a sign that a cross isn’t right and should be worked more.We germinate 1500-2000 seeds per year but what the hell do I know?
To address @nuskool89 , the way in which this can help people is to propose that maybe (just maybe) that if someone else has a hermie issue, they might ask why and look inward, instead of jumping to conclusions. We have many people running the same cut, with tremendously different outcomes. From what I've seen, people who claim to see hermies many times are using nutes or in hydro. When breeders (like Bodhi and many other of the top names out there) all grow using natural farming methods, one might think the plants are attuned to running that way. When we stress test, we only use organic soil, and never stress using salts/nutes, so perhaps we are missing the stress testing in that aspect.
Not saying this is a fact and that @AdvancedBuffalo pumped up the ppm too much, but it's worth considering when this whole thread is full of content with no herms after being tested originally. And I agree with @AlienAthena that there's no need for absolutes.
Instead of being so defensive, I was thinking this might help @AdvancedBuffalo since he found some nice cuts, and perhaps he might find it's the method, not the genetics so he can let us all know.
Good luck everyone. I wish you all well on your growing journey. We're all in this together. No need to bicker.
These seeds will see a wide variety of different grow environments, substrates, nutrient delivery methods, etc. A retail release line should perform in all of these areas. Please don’t tell me that you are that breeder or clone seller that blames unstable genetics on all of your customers and their grow methods?
You may want to sit this out at re read this later. This is looking a lot like an ad hominem sort of thing rather than actual feedback/helpful content. Stop provoking useless bickering like this if you want it to stop.
Also if you have hunted so many bodhi packs, quit arguing and start reporting information.
