Feminized Seeds Hermie Test - 14 strains, which are high risk; frequency; DM Reverse;

Well fortunately I'm currently vegging 16 plants and only really have a 4x4 space. I'm going to have to start culling at some point so I guess the nanners will be the deciders.

Underfeed don't overfeed I have dutch passions white widow and out of 7 clones I have one that I keep having to pick bananas off of and I am pretty sure its because its the only one to have a bit of nute burn. I have 14 - 20 days left Im trying to figure out if I should just keep picking off bananas or harvest her early. My worry is that she will seed the others if I miss one and she produces more and more nanners every day. Any suggestions?

ahhh man, fuck this. I'm just gonna dump the seedlings....son of a bitch. They're growing REALLY slow and having a hard time as it is. I think my T5HO is burning them and they just haven't been off to a great start. I don't really want to deal with the banana's problem and I'm going to do a lot of cloning. I just want to get off to the right start.

I have 4 clones from the local dispensary that I'll keep going and the BB blue cheese (fem) and WW (fem) I think I'll just trash. They've already wasted 3 1/2 weeks of my life anyway.
 
i'm growing feminized White Queen from amsterdam seeds. does anyone have any experience, + or -, with fem seeds from the same place? anyone grown or growing fem White Queen?
 
Sorry to be the barer of bad news laserbrn. But I hear you on starting off right. After this grow I will be staying away from feminized seeds. I would rather have to wait and sex them then go through all the trouble of inspecting each bud daily for a little yellow flower. For everyone I pull it seems to produce 2 in its place. I hope people who are thinking about getting fem seeds read this thread, I wish I had before getting them...

Exactly, I just wish I knew it was this bad. I knew it was a potential problem but I can see myself getting pretty angry picking nanners for the rest of my days. The hell with that....I'll grow out my clones and start all over. I mean back to the website style to order more beans...unbelievable.
 
bro if you can go to dispensaries why did you start fem white widow seeds anyways? if you have access to good dispensaries there is no reason to buy seeds from europe there are better strains in cali to grow. besides if you want w.widow clones are available most the time uk cheese also not to mention the ogs chems and bubbas.

Dispensaries are a genuine pain in the ass. About 60% of the time they just flat out lie about what the clones are. The rest of the time it's the vendor that sells them the clones. There is no way to guarantee what you're growing with the broken dispensary system.

I want to know what I grow brotha. I've seen the same bullshit strain under at least 4 - 5 different names from Bubba Kush, to Green Crack to OG (they try to claim every damn clone in the world is OG) and it's just this lame ass sativa strain that has always failed to impress.

I'll still use dispensary strains when I come across some good ones, but I want to get some good phenos of these well known strains and keep on smokin' them up.
 
seriously you have gone to the wrong dispensaries i once purchased seeds also no more. i have gotten clones that were not what they were supposed to be once or twice other than that out of over 20 strains all have been spot on good phenos of what they should be. i have traveled to amsterdam a few times cali buds and clones/seeds are so much better. what spots have you got clones from?

I'm down in So Cal and I've always gotten them from RDC or NHCC and a few times at CEO. I've never found the Pheno's to spot on by any stretch. If someone knows where to get the real shit, I would be much appreciative.

Skeptical still, it's been like this for years now. I've been so dissatisfied it's disgusting. Don't get me wrong, the buds always great and I'm never dissapointed with the harvest, it's just I get things like "blueberry" that are just obvious sativas after a couple of weeks. Disgusting.

check out DJ's history of Blue Berry. lots of sativa in it's background. Thai in fact. sorry it's not more stable though.

or try some in the Valley

All the ones I named are in the valley. I expect better, and I know that others have noticed the same. There have been threads about it already.

I'll work on getting some bomb shit crackin' soon enough. Just need to get in the know somehow.

Is this so cal shit really that good compared to the euro beans? I figured the beans would be as good as if not better than the shit clones from the dispensaries.
 
"Is this so cal shit really that good compared to the euro beans? I figured the beans would be as good as if not better than the shit clones from the dispensaries. "

Even if you buy beans from the best European seed breeder - lets say Serious for this discussion - you could still get a bad batch of seeds or just bad luck and poor phenos - low yield, low potency, no taste, etc ...

With a clone from the dispensaries you're getting an exact copy of the genetics that an experienced grower cloned, and the value of the genetics in the clone judged by everyone who grows it - possibly hundreds of growers with an exact genetic copy every time. You could get a clone from an unknown bag seed cross and the grower could have gotten one phenominal plant out of a thousand seeds. It's like having hundreds of people germ seeds and grow the plants for you, then you only take the best plant in your garden.

I've found some of the best beans to come from North American Breeders - (I'll probably fuck up and put some European breeders down) - Elite, Rez, DJ Short, BOG, Subcool and TGA (?), Peak, Dr Greenthumb, Federation. (How many do I have wrong?) A lot of them stay under the radar because of our darconian drug laws.

i did a lot of looking on w.t. and visited many dispensaries before i purchased any clones as with anything you have to shop around and find what you want from reputable sources some clones from some spots are not what they say. if you know where to go its never an issue and i have never reached the quality with seeds that i have with good socal clones like larry og other ogs some purples chems etc.. these cant be found overseas in pure form. i have many strains in seed mostly for males and breeding projects other than that i like clones.
 
i also prefer clones even if its a strain that can be found in seed because someone has already picked a good pheno. i have grown black domina la con jack the ripper and a few others from clone that are available as seeds no problems or issues.
 
Hi all. First post here. The first two strains I grew were DP Blueberry and Durban Poison, both feminized. They all went hermie. This time I have gone with Northern Lights fem (not DP, but can't recall where it was from). The plants are gorgeous, but just yesterday, just starting week 4 of flowering, I noticed some banannas . Bummer! I think I will just try to de dilligent and inspect the plants daily and pick the male flowers off. I don't know if its the predisposition of the fem strains to go hermie, or something I'm doing wrong, or a combo. The plants always look healthy...
 
I've grown quite a few Dr. Greenthumb feminized strains and have not had anything but 100% fems and no problems with hermies, so I don't buy anywhere else now. Who can afford the time, never mind the money, of messing with questionable genetics?
