Wow that's actually the exact same thing I'm doing I thought about doin foxfarm nutes but I'm growing in MG potting mix and the nutes are time released so i dont want to take the chance of burning them and Im using the MG bloom booster as well as molasses so hopefully Ill get some better lookin buds here I just got the mg booster an molasses so we'll see I'll keep u updated

I see buds.any buds are good buds :) they do look good btw.If it does hermie on you then you are blessed sir as you will have all the feminized seeds you can ask for! just quarantine the hermie so as to not pollinate the flowering room.but a hermie is always a good thing.saves you hundreds if not thousands in seeds!

So all seeds that come.from a Hermi plant are feminized?....some aren't herminized?

It's best to pollinate another female plant with hermie pollin as there is a much higher chance of the seeds being more prone to hermi
if they're grown on the same plant that was stressed out to produce the nanas.
