Lucky Dog Seed Co.

Anyone ever have problems with Hermies from lucky dog? I am 2 weeks into flower and looks like 5 out of 6 are throwing ball sacks. Strain is Guerrila fume btw.

Not one person on IG has shown any. Look for stressors in your room. That strain is beautiful when done right and dialed in. I took a chance on the dogpatch.

That’s the thing I feel like my room is dialed in there has been nothing out of the ordinary in my flower room that I can think would stress them. Plus I have 3 sections in my room with different strains everything else has been fine. Plus all my other runs the past couple of months have been fine except for a couple hermies here and there last year when I was using feminized seeds. I’ve never had what looks like now 6 out of 6 hermie.

We could maybe open up a thread specifically for this issue, but what's your setup, ferts etc? 6/6 has to be an issue with something other than genetics, I mean I've never experienced that even in gear that is known to be problematic with herms.

Yes maybe I should have another thread, but I use Soiless mix in 5 gallon pots. I hand water with heavy 16 nutes at 70 % strength with runoff. I use spider farm led lights my room temp is 75 to 80 degrees during the day 68 to 71 at night humidity is usually about 55% but lately with this summer heat it been about 60. I have plenty of airflow. I haven’t done anything differently with them that I do anything else. Like I said I also have different strains going in the same room with no issues. Could something in veg stress them? Like topping? And they look perfectly healthy also I have no light leaks.

All due respect but that’s what these threads are for, washing results that aren’t favorable is disingenuous. Even if it’s stress induced, knowing that would be helpful as well as the disposition of that cross. I have a pack of those, I want to know these things!

All due respect, ask him on IG, he’ll talk to ya. Nobody is washing anything, we all have grower errors occasionally like this one. You are beating a dead horse trying to portray your compassionate side lol. He fucked something up, else the whole batch of those seeds sold would leave reports all over the net. Most definitely not the case.
 
Well I’m going to make a new thread about this issue so I dont over take this one, to see if I did anything wrong.., but all I know is that there was nothing in flower that could have stressed them the only thing I can think of is topping and lst in veg. Which doesn’t seem like it should be enough. Also these didn’t start throwing nanners at a random point in flower they are developing ball sacks right at the on set of buds. Which to me seems like true hermies but I don’t know.

How is it respectful to tell me that! What is the thread for if not reporting grows? Also, how on earth do you know there’s errors? I would further argue that if there are errors you should help him find him instead of trashing what he has to say and telling him to post his results somewhere else as not to degrade the good results in the thread. Nope, telling me to fuck off for expressing dismay at wanting “good results only” is not respectful of my message at all. Your thin veil of “respect” over your obvious disdain is funny at best. I’m not even talking trash and you’re circling your wagon, what’s your motive?

I ran half a pack of Guerrilla Fume and didn’t have any issues with herm, 3 ladies and 1 male, all topped and lst. I had a different strain throw balls early on shaded lowers. Are you seeing the balls on lowers or all over? Throw up some full plant pics and pics of where the balls are. The only other thing I could think of is that you hit them with more nitrogen than they needed early on.

They are mainly on the bottom half. There are less as you move up the plants, but I’ve found a few random here and there through out the top. Here are some pics, the plants overall look healthy to me. It’s hard to tell in the 3rd pic but there are nanners coming out of a female calyx which I thought was really strange. So I went ahead and removed all of the lower stuff and only left the top couple nodes on every branch and searched through the tops the best I could and removed anything I saw that was male. I’m gonna go through them again in a couple days see if anymore show up. Hopefully I can salvage something.

They look good other than the balls. I’d lay off the nitrogen a bit and monitor

I haven’t had true hermaphrodites with the two packs I ran (Schism & Hunza Valley), but the Hunzas did throw nanners late in flower (does rodelization count?). But my experience is anecdotal. Because i intentionally took another Hunza eight days AFTER the peak harvest window; no nanners.

Aren’t Chem genetics known to be finicky? Is this a real surprise to anyone? If ya don’t know Chem genetics are rough to grow, now ya know. But guess what!? Ya dial that shit in proper and you’re gonna have some straight fire on your hands. These girls can be notorious light feeders from my understanding (feel free to correct me if I’m wrong ). I also have this theory that these genetics have a long history marinating under HID lighting systems so not entirely convinced that running em under LED’s is gonna give ya desirable results

just ran out the Chem Flyer and it’s absolutely ridiculous fire .

Edit: all this to say that using “Heavy 16” nutes, might not be a stellar move either. But what the fuck do I know ?

A week ago I started 24 Hunza Valley 91 f2s I made. 22 made it. This is a way smaller selection than I would’ve liked.. but eh. Hopefully I find some true winners to take it to f3. If not, I’ll go back to square one and hunt a couple packs of the f1s

Hell yeah!! Just popped 5 Guerilla Fume a couple weeks back and an 8 set of Sunshine Biscuits over the weekend. Got 5 of 5 on the G.F. and 5 of 8 so far on the Sunshine Biscuits (which I popped Saturday).

Just curious why do you say that about heavy 16?
