Growing out my Hermie for fun. 4 weeks into flowering now. lots of pics

Heyyy. Watsup everybody?? Well I germinated 4 seeds, and they all grew pretty nicely, then about 2 1/2 - 3 weeks into flowering.. my biggest plant went hermie.. everyone kept telling me to just kill it... toss it etc... I was planning on just tossing it out.. but i couldnt do it.. it was my 1st plant i ever grew.. and i didnt wanna give up on it, because it still had some descent looking buds on it.. soo i said fuck it.. im just gonna let it grow.

I ordered some white widow seeds form nirvana last week.. soo those should be coming in pretty soon.. soo thats another reason why i decided to just let this one grow.. i have some bomb seeds on the way.. soo might as well just see how this one turns out..

I know all the downfalls to growing hermies.. soo dont come in here and tell me i should throw it out and about the pollen blowing everywhere.. i nkow all this. lol. im moving in about 2 or 3 weeks soo when i get to the new house.. im not bringing any pollen with me.. soo i may have to harvest this plant a week early.. who knows..

I just basically wanted to do this journal to see how it turns out.. and to let other people see how it turns out.. and i will do a smoke report and all that stuff too.. and take plenty of pics throughout the whole process.. and show you guys how the buds turn out. and let you guys know if it was worth growing it out.. i think it will be.. and ill also let you guys know if the seeds i get from this hermie are actually feminized or just more hermie seeds... if you guys have any questions.. input.. ideas.. just post them here..

im not one to bitch about other people postin pics in my thread either.. soo if u have pics.. and want to post them in here for w.e. reason.. goo ahead.. i dont give a fuck. lol. well im uploadin my pics now.. soo here they are.. and heres a little info about the plant...

-Strain: Unknown (bagseed from some pretty descent mids i had)
-Veg Time: 3 weeks
-Flowering: Its been on 12-12 for 4 weeks now
-Soil: Miracle Grow - Moisture Control
-Nutes: I used Miracle grow nutes during Veg. forget the specs of it, and for flowering, im using Schultz All Purpose Plant Food (10-15-10)
-Lights: Ive got this plant in the closet with 2 other plants, i have a bunch of CFL's all at 2700K... all the watts are the "equi9velant wattage" and not the ACTUAL wattage.. 3-120 watts.. and 6 100 watts

if you guiys have any other questions just ask away... and here are some pics..










and heres a pic of the setups... the hermie plant is the one in the middle.. under the bigger light... its just to give you an idea of how its setup..

Looks good man, id smoke the shit!

Hell i just killed a male plant and thought about smokin it

yeaaa... honestly.. ordering through nirvana was ALOT easier than i thought it would be.. its actually really simple..

and i was the SAME way you are.. i was pretty nervous about ordering to the US.. but idk.. ive just seem soooo many other people order them.. and have NO problems what so ever.. sooo i just figured id give it a try..

from what ive heard.. the worse that can happen.. is that customs opens the package.. and takes out the seeds. and sends u a letter in the mail sayin that the contents of your package were considered to be illegal.. and if you wish to fight it.. they give you a number or w.e.. and thats that.. you obviouslt DO NOT FIGHT IT!! lmao.. and i think u just send a copy of the letter to nirvana.. and they re-ship your item.. free of charge..

ill let you know as soon as they get here.. im hopin they will be here by the end of the week.. i ordered the 23rd..and right after i paid (using my debit card) it said they received my payment.. and then later on.. my status switched to "in transit" meaning they were packaging it up and gettin it ready to be shipped... and then the very next day.. my status was changed to shipped. and i got an email sayin it was sent.. and that was the 25th.. on Christmas.. sooo im hopin it will be here by Friday.

everyone from the US sais they get their seeds in about 7 days.. some even say 5.. and 14 days at the max.. soo im just waiting for now..

originally.. i was gonna order from attitude seeds.. they have a much bigger selection.. their a little bit more expensive tho.. another cool thing about them is that you can order single seeds.. anywhere from 8 bucks to like 20 bucks each seed..

but then i went to checkout.. and the shipping was 17 bucks!!! and then they charge another 10 for "gaurenteed" shipping.. (so i guess the 17 bucks is just for "un-gaurenteed" shipping.. lol. but wen u pay the extra 10 iu can get a t shirt or wallet or coffee mug etc.. but idk.. 30 bucks for shipping is ALOT!! you can get seeds from nirvana for 30 bucks.. and theyre shiping is 7 and change.. soo about 8 bucks...

my total came up to 42 EVEN.. for 5 feminized seeds of white widow.. and at attitude.. it was 62 for 3 feminized Blue Venom seed (white widow crossed with blueberry).. and they woulda gave me 1 free LA Woman seed.. but idk... thats just too much money.. and im broke. lol.

but yeaaa i will deff keep u up to date with my order status.. i feel like its pretty safe to order them online.. if it wasnt.. you would hear about it alot.. the worst ive heard is they never sent the seeds... but when your ordering something illegal online.. just losing your money isnt nearly as bad as going to jail.. =-/ gotta think of it that way... 42 bucks isnt that much.. i would go for it.. but i would go with nirvana.. i feel as if theyre the safest.

lol.. yeaaa this shit already looks pretty good. lol. but as far as the male plants.. i odnt think you can actualy smoke them..?? its just pollen sacs... but hermies.. as u can see.. still produce some descent buds.. i know they wont be as strong tho cuz the plants gonna focus more energy on producing seeds than making buds.. but ooo well. lol. ill have some nice ass white widow growing soon.

not bad looks pretty good!!! Hey let me know if you get your seeds I've been thinking of ordering some too!!!

Cool man. I will probably go through nirvana also..

Cant decide on what to get.

Let us know when you get the seeds and keep the pics commin..

lol.. aiight ill deff let you guys know asap.. probably within 5 minutes of opening the mail and finding the seeds ill have a reply for you guys on here. lol. i was the same exact way.. im sure if you look around you will find threads with people saying they just ordered some seeds from nirvana and are waitin for them to come.. and youll see a reply from me askin them to met me know as soon as they get them.. lmao

heres one guys thread who ordered white widow nirvana seeds..
https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/260167-white-widow-feminized-seed-nirvana.html

and heres another one.. i actually think this was one of the threads i posted in asking him to let me/everyone know when he got the seeds... and he got them.. noo problem and it was his 1st time ordering online.. and he was scared too... here it is..
https://www.rollitup.org/seed-strain-reviews/279733-white-widow-just-ordered.html

there a alotta good strains from nirvana... my suggestions.. especially if your some what new to growing.. would be AK-48.. Blue Mystic.. or the white widow..... or.. they do have a pretty cool autoflowering strain on there.. its called low ryder i think.. you might wanna try that... it basically groes itself.. you plant it.. take care of it.. and you dont even need to switch the lights to 12-12.. it will flower when its ready.. you dont have to do anything but water and feed it.. and youl get buds REALLY fast.. they say about 60 days i thinnk?? from start to finish.. soo once you plant your seed.. in about 60 days.. you will be smoking your buds.. thats not bad at all!!

alotta plants will take 60+ days just to flower.. never mind vegging.. you would probly get about an ounce per plant tho with the auto-flowering plants.. but shit... id be happy with an ouce off each plant.. lol. just an idea.. you can look around on here.. just search for auto-flowering or low-rider.. and u will find plenty of journals.. and you can see how they grow.. im gonna try them out after my white widow..

well.. im off to my girlfriends house... bout to go see that movie Avatar in 3-D.. that should be fun after a few bowls. lol.

ok.. well its friday.. and still no seeds yet.. but its only technically been 1 week... soo im not worried... at all.. maybe a little anxious.. lol. but for sum reason i didnt get mail the last 2 days.. and then i forgot theres no mail today since its new years. soo maybe theyll come tomorow...?? whoo knows.. and as far as the hermie goes.. its still lookin good.. just filling out more and more.. the plant next to it (on the eft in the picture) has been poppin out a few bananas.. but its not as much of a hermie as the bigger one.. this one has some pretty nice lokin nugs on it too.. ill put up some pics tomorow maybe.. and hopefully ill be postin an update.. saying i got the seeds pretty soon!! lol

I'm happy to say... I jut opened up my mail an got my seeds from nirvana!!! Soo it took 8 days to come!! Even tho I ordered them the day before Christmas. I think they woulda came a day or 2 earlier if it wasn't for Christmas and new years. Cuz I didn't get mail for the last to days. And with the seeds also came a little gift which was cool. Not gonna say what it was but it had to do with chistmas. Which was nice of them. AND I also got 10 free seeds!! Which was an even bigger suprise!! It doesn't say what they are. But I don't care. I know they must be from their seed bank. Sooo that's good enough for me!! Lol once I start growin in I'll make a journal and make a poll so you guys can guess which strain it is. Well just wanted to let you guys know they came and they're all fine. None are crushed and they all look good too!! I will deff order from them again! A++++

I will be postin some pics of the seeds on Monday probably. They just came in a little mini ziplock bag. That had a golden sticker that sais nirvana. White widow. And the other bag with te 10 freebies just has the work FREE written on it in black marker. Can't wait to plant them!! I'm still debating on wether or not I'm gonna germinate the seeds now and start them on 18/6 and then move them into the new house durin the dark period. Or if I should just wait and start them as soon as I get to the new house..? Idk. I wanna get the vegging out I'd the way tho. Soo I can start flowering as soon as I get to the new house. Idk. I'll figure something out.

Glad your shipment arrived so quick!
Beans are no fun

right on man, thats what i like to hear

aiight.. got a few more pics for you guys.. im gonna have to harvest early... not sure if i said that on this thread or not..? lol but im gonna have to harvest the 15th.. because thats when im moving into my new place.. and i dont want ANY pollen being brought into my new house.. cuz i dont want my white widow to get pollenated.. its looking pretty good i guess.. i think because it got pollenated that it maturing faster soo it will work out harvestin at about 7 1/2 weeks... the other big plant is starting to show a few bananas and a couple pollen sacs.. not too many tho.. soo i guess its considered a hermie now.. soo ill post a couple pics up of he-she as well... here ya go.. they look SOOOOOOOO different when you dont take pics of them under the lights.. much more colorful!!








and heres the other plant.. thats starting to grow a couple bananas and 1 or 2 pollen sacs..






im tryna decide when i should pluck all the leaves off.. and leave just bud.. if im planning to chop it down on the 15.. well actually the 14th.. because ill be busy moving all day on the 15th.. i wonder when i should do that...?? i already stopped with the nutes.. and i did a small flush today.. gonna do 1 or 2 more before i chopem down... anyone have any ideas about when i should pull all the leaves off and leave just buds...?? cuz the taller plant.. the one that has less hermie traits.. has lots of leaves.. especially around the lower buds.. these pics are from 3 days ago.. soo they have changed a bit.. i will put more recent ones up tomorow.. hope someone can help me out..

heyy guys.. if anyones still reading this thread. lol. i havent update in a while.. been busy gettin ready for the move.. im plannin on chopin the big 2 maybe 2day or 2morow... not really look good. =-/ theyre much bigger and fuller, but theres just sacs everywhere, and i wouldnt doubt if there was nothing to smoke. =-( but idk. w.e. u learn from your mistakes.. im just glad these white widow seeds ARE feminized.. and i wont have to worry bout males.. and if there is a hermie.. im gonna kill it.. with pleasure! lol. gonna go in my room right now and trim off all the leaves on the 2 hermies.. and debate wether or not to wait another day... im probly not gonna tho.. im sure they wont magically look good after one night.. i will take some before and after pics of the hermie plants.. even tho its gonna be pretty embarasing i think. =-( i know my white widow plants will come out better because i have had a little more "hands on" experience now.. soo i know the Do's and Dont's.. and i ill soon have a 400 watt HPS once my school money gets here. which will hopefully be withing the next month, which ill be vegging the white widow plants at that time. =-) well.. off to work.. on the plants i mean. lol. post pics wen im done.. wish me luck guys.. i fucking need it!!!

GOOD LUCK WITH UR WHITE WIDOWS MAN!!!! they're a fairly easy strain to grow...so u shouldn't run into any problems with those ladies!!!LMFAO

Good Luck Man!! Wanna see pics of the Hermies after trimming!!

kk. just finished.. got them hangin in a small box. just lookin up on wether or not i should have a small fan blowing on them or not... in the middle of moving.. soo im kinda busy packin.. just got madd high and ripped apart my old couch with a hammer.. lol. that was madd fun!! lol i took the pics.. just gotta upload them and putem up here.. ill have them up pretty soon tho. they actually look ALOT better than i though they would! and just to let u know.. theyre not FULLY trimmed... i trimmed them pretty good.. but im not done yet.. gonna finish the trimming in a few days.. or weneva they finish drying.. ill touchem up before i put them in jars.. not sure of the weight either.. =-( i will have a sale tho to do the dry weight.

ok. well heres all the pics i have for now... Enjoyyyyyyyy!!

Heres the 1st plant, the same plant that i have as my avatar










and heres what i ended up with all together from that one plant.. i dont have a scale right now.. soo i dont have a wet weight, but im hoping to get a scale when theyre dry..


ok.. and hers the next plant.. the tallest one i had.. it was about 2 1/2 ft. tall.





i cut the plant into 3 pieces.. so it would be easier to trim.. soo heres a couple before.. and after pics.. thought they looked cool.

and heres what i ended up with from that plant...


and... here it is all together.. not too bad looking.. for my VERY 1st groe.. and kinda jumpin into it quicker then i should have since i didnt have the right lights and fans etc.. i mean wen i 1st started off.. i was using incandescent bulbs for a while.. the daylight ones.. and with all the problems.. especially towards the end with the lights stayin on all night when they shouldnt have been.... im surprised they made it... here it is


and here they are hangin out to dry in a cardboard box on a string.. i have a little fan i put it in after for exhaust..


well like i said.. they didnt come out too too bad... coulda been worder i guess.. cant wait to start the white widow tho!!

Looks good man. SMOKE IT!!!

Be lookin for your WW grow. You gonna do the cfl deal with them?

yeaaa.. they dont look too bad.. i think after i trim them up some more theyll look a lil better.... and yeaaa. im gonna do the CFL's with the white widow too.. but im gettin money for my school in a month or 2 soo as soon as i get that im gonna buy a 400 watt HPS.. an dim gonna get an MH conversion bulb too. soo hopefully ill have that soon. i figured id have them for fore a few weeks.. and then start flowering.. and finish them offf with the HPS.. im gonna styart germinating the white widow seeds today.. since it usually takes a couple days for them to grow a descernt taproot.. and im movin into the new place tomorow..

ughhhh,. tryna get ova this fuckin cold man.. ive been in bed for the last 24 hours hours throwing up.. idk what the fuck happened.. lolbut yeaaaa as soon as i move in.. thats the 1st thing im doin is setting up the white widow grow!!
