I have been so busy this last few weeks that I have not given the girls the attention they deserve. Went down this morning an what is the first thing I see on one of my ladies? Bananas! So I look a little closer and Viola! I have sacks blowing up on her.
WTF!!!. I talked earlier in the thread about how I think that there are two types of Hermie's. The first being a plants normal tendency to ensure survival of it's self and then theirs stress induced caused from an abnormal change to their regular growing cycle, ie: light stress, severe temp changes, injury to the plant, or any number of things. I believe mine to be caused by an increase in the amount of stray light leakage from my Veg cabinet. When I started the re-veg I put a clamp light in the cab next to it and have just been propping up a board in front of it. It did add more light but I did not realize how much till last night when I checked on em when I got home from work and there is actually quite a bit more than I started with!
Well seeing how its been 2 weeks since I started the re-veg light cycle and I believe that it takes approx 10-14 days for the pollen sacks to open-up like the one I found, than I think that it's safe to say the increase in light caused the change in her. What I need to do is get of my stoner ass and get that cab worked out. I am going to need the room because of the added time to veg for the young one's in the cab.
Or, maybe it's just bad genetics?
Hell I don't know. I do know if she starts seeding up really bad I will have to chop her. Not interested in the seeds from her so don't care about them maturing. It only adds to the length of the cycle.
Anyway, here is some pic's!

If you look close at the middle of the pic, than you can see the sack that opened up.

Day 35 for these ladies. Pic 2 is the Hermie I was talking about. She/He still looks yummy though. Also look at the difference in hieght. The middle lady is quite a bit shorter and has been at the same distance as the others I have been raising her as the new set grow to keep the canopy even. Maybe thats why she stayed shorter?

And lastly is the re-veg that started this shit. She has started growing again so I will keep her in the veg cab for another 2-3 weeks and then flip her back to flower. She is an awesome smoke and only gets better everday she is in the jar.
As always, let me know what ya think.
Peace
