Suuuuuuper cunty...... If GDP isn't embarrassed as fuck to have your ass showing all over this thread, I'd be shocked.
I'm wondering if you have a strain that's sensitive and you flip the entire plant to flower for 3 days then revert it to veg could that have possibly created the hermaphrodites? Why do other growers just take a cutting and test it instead of exposing the entire plant? Could this have kicked off the hormones to flower and then the re-vegging caused the problem? Is that a possibility?.......snip........I put them in my flowering room for 3 days to see what the m/f ratio was and pull the dudes. ......snip.....
You might be a newb but your no DUMMIE, IMO that could very well be the issue here!!!I'm wondering if you have a strain that's sensitive and you flip the entire plant to flower for 3 days then revert it to veg could that have possibly created the hermaphrodites?

I'm a newbie, just finished my first grow and am in the middle of my second. So I'm just trying to learn.
good suggestion but if that is the reason for it to hermie i wouldn't consider that alone to be a good one. if anything i've read and seen breeders do much worst to their crosses to see how stable it is, it's called a stress test. lots of people do this and have no problems while doing so. i've have two plants as of right now that i flowered for 4 days before the person decided to pull the plug on the grow, it's been a month since, and neither of the two are displaying any balls. the cross is original diesel x c99 and we all know how sensitive original diesel can be. i've also did cc chemvalleykush before the prior incident and the same person switched the light cycle 3 times during the flowering cycle and it as well didn't herm.I'm wondering if you have a strain that's sensitive and you flip the entire plant to flower for 3 days then revert it to veg could that have possibly created the hermaphrodites?

good point.It's a no win situation. If I pointed out the change in light cycle to 12/12 and back so quickly could have caused that, then I would have JJ or someone else flaming me for citing grower error as the cause. So that's why I didn't say that, so I didn't come here looking to blame the grower right off the bat. Catch 22.
Amen to that brother... people forget and its been said time and time again some of the dankest on earth came from herms!I bought a couple packs each of ghost train haze #1 and karma bitch..vegged them into large mothers (culling out males as they showed,and ditching a few less than stellar females) and took big fat healthy cuts around 8 weeks. Im flowering 2 of each pheno (7 gt and 8 kb) and have mothers for each in the veg room. Ill be watching them closely, and will be bummed if I find any herms. But honestly, shit happens,and Id feel lucky if I found one keeper of each. If I wanna have the newest and the strongest to smoke on and "vend/caregive" to dispensaries or patients, the flashy new hybrid strains wont always be as stable as strains that are proven,reliable and cheaper. If you want better odds don't gamble on a new company.
lol!................what happened to all of gdp's posts he made last night??
