ive heard when you clone fem seeds you hermie out anywhere from the beginning to the end of flowering with your clones,
due to the fact you had to stress the plant to make them hermie to make the fem seeds in the first place.

idk could be wrong but makes sense since your pretty much hurting it when cuttin the shit out of it lol

No fem seeds should be stable without herm tendencies. Atleast quality ones should be.

Im considering lollipopping my blueberry for my next grow, any idea if it can be done in the first couple of weeks in flowering?

Id like to see your progress BIONICchronic would you be able to post pics? Thanks.

So this is a fact ??,

Think maybe something like sensi seeds fem limited edition would be stable enough??
I think if the plant has termed herm do to stress by you and not a genetic trait then you shouldnt get a hermi. But nothing is for sure, the enviroment that the fem seeds grow in are also going to play a roll. But this is just stuff i have read, i have 5 fem seeds growing right not, just started flowering on monday, ill let you know how it goes. Now i would like to make my own fem seeds fom these plants by letting them stay in flowering until they produce male flowers but i think these seeds will have a higher chance of herming since they arent the original, less and less stable as it goes.

Are you doing a process to get your plants to herm or are you hoping they just do it by themselves?

In his organic book Soma says they make their fem seeds by letting a female grow a couple extra weeks and they will stress and drop some pollen, you collect it and apply it to another female that is just starting flowering. I guess its the least stressful way to stress the plant if that is possible.

Never heard of this but it may work?
worth a shot,

Colloidal Silver also is said to work.

Im thinking maybe they wait for the plant to be a little over ripe and use Colloidal Silver to make it produse male flowers but this method is said to sometimes make them herm,
So my thought is maybe wait till they're after there prime in harvest as said and then make them hermie using this process so the herm traits are put into later flowering?

But idk i could just be super high..:peace:

one last thought ive also heard that fem seeds cant be cloned due to the fact that they're stressed to make flowers for seeds makes them super prone to herming due from the stress of cutting it to make the clone.
 
hay guys i've been useing that ezclonr and i had a root mass of 2 to 3 in........... in 2 weeks. roots wer showing in 6 days. toke out of the clonr and put them inorganic med and they toke the f..k off. i wood say i'm rite on time to my next go around after this flowing is done.

My friend had the same problem with his clones(only peat pellets not rockwool. We came to the conclusion that it was his Clonex gel. It says on the bottle to refrigerate after opening and he didnt, now all the clones he dips in there look like the twisted ones you guys have. We dipped his next ones in the cheap powder that i use from home depot and they rooted in a week without ever twisting or looking like shit. I dont use the stuff so i dont know for sure but it might be your clonex, but maybe somebody that uses clones more can chime in. Are you PHing the rockwool before hand? As far as bottom of the stem swelling up, no not really, you will just see rotts sticking out the bottom one day.

ya wat smppo said...... u need to check the ph of the water. the rockwool alone ph levek 5.5......... the ezcloner gel that i use doesnt need to be cold. room temp is fine and works good for me and way cheaper then clonex. plus if ur stem is starting to get rott on it ...need to clean it up and start over or take a new cutting. or if you got the room....the exclnr machine works f..k awsome. i had roots n 6 to 7 days. no joke. plus number one rule of first timers is over watering. very very easy to do. i'm guilty of it rite now. so i'm not gonna water for 3 to 4 days and only give them a oz n half. i over water with close to 3 oz every day and half.

I have the exact same problem, clones in rockwool begins to wilt & branches curl round & the bottom of the stalk grows a white thick blob where the roots should form. Ive read that using a powder form rooting hormone will solve the problem, but in practise I now use root riot which works perfectly I dont even need to PH the water for presoaking however it takes approx 2 weeks for the roots to establish.
