Ive had some dank plants hermie on me. Ive seen bananas as early as 2 weeks bud, but Ive kept them in there and never had a seed. I wouldnt recommend it, but sometimes I take my chances.
Alright well, the buds do look pretty fucking incredible. The problem: They are also a bit seeded. I thought I spotted a seed originally and it was the reason I decided to chop and sure enough there are quite a few seeds. Not the worst shit ever and since I smoke my own and don't sell it that part doesn't cost me, it's just annoying. The yield is a little bit lighter than I would've liked at 9 oz's, but I did chop early and the grow was a bit of a mess. I've jarred it all up and I'll get some pics of the buds when I get home. I won't have a smoke report for at least 2-3 weeks so they have at least some time to cure.
The colors are pretty cool looking I guess, although not really my thing. They are quite crystally and have lots of different colors including yellows and purples and even some more reddish areas.
Here are my six soil plants. They have now been flowering for 20 days. They are from clones from the previous batch. I never identified which plant hermied, as a matter of fact I never knew a plant hermied until I saw the seeds.
These six plants are in a different tent than the previous plants, but the room they are in is probably full of pollen. I'm sure that I'll see seeds around in my next couple of grows, but can't be very many and I'm not going to stop growing. The safest place for my new plants to be is in this new tent where the old plants never were. It intakes from outside and exhausts into the bedroom so hopefully it'll stay relative clear of pollen.
Regardless I think there's a genetic hermie in the bunch and I don't know who it is. It could've been environmental and that's the reason I can't bring myself to get rid of them.
Anyway, I'm going to lay out it for you guys and hopefully you can help guide me and share what you would do.
1) 600w & 4x4 space
The plants are 20 days along and look pretty good. Although the same signs are showing on the lower leaves of one plants. I swear I can tell it's clones from the batch before (one of each plant). I'm afraid there's a hermie in there.
2) 600w & 4x4 space
Empty - This is where the hydro side was that I am having a friend finish off because I want the space back. Those plants were too small and to stay in this space they must be on 12/12 if I keep #1 going
3) 600w & 4x4 space
Empty - This is where the first FI grow was and is full of pollen and needs to be cleaned out. Not a problem, I'll just bleach it all down and get it sterile. Not too concerned with the pollen.
I am moving in 12 weeks bear in mind.
So plan's and their problems...
1) Kill everything I have, sterilize the room. Go to the dispensary pick up all new clones and I have 12 weeks to bang it out. Pretty minimal timeframe, but completely doable.
2) Finish the FI in soil in the closet. Get clones for #3 space and I have 12 weeks to get them done. The FI finishes out in a few weeks and I tear down that tent and prepare for the move. #1 & #2 are retired for the summer (they can't be run over summer due to heat)
I keep flip flopping on what to do. Both are risks. If I can't get #1 done in 12 weeks it's going to be a disaster. It's all lost and I should've at least finished out the FI so I had some smoke over the summer. I could end up pulling 2.5 lbs using scenario 1 though and have a great summer and not have to worry about this for awhile.
