Hermie?

Nothing but girl parts still. The buds are looking great. Instead of Bruce Banner I think I'm gonna call this Bruce Nanner! Lol.... In all seriousness I've learned another lesson beside dealing with hermies. I waited for what seemed like forever for the stretch..... It never happened. My mistake was seeing leaf tips curled and thinking I was feeding too much N, turned out I was beating the crap out if my plants with my fan. Found my diagnosis on growweedeasy.com wind whip was causing my leaves to not be able to function properly. Oh well, you live and learn. At least I've been able to keep sacks and nanners in check, and I'm still going to get bit of prime bud...hopefully!

Everything is looking great pistils are starting to turn, some trichs are turning milky. It's kinda hard to tell if the trichs are clear or milky. My scope is a cheapo. Still there's nothing but female parts which is awesome.... I thought it would get worse later in flower but I haven't seen anything for I think about 3 weeks. My only regret is fucking up and having my oscillating fan too high, I never got the stretch. This plant us only 20 or so inches high, it could pass for an autoflower probably. Hopefully I'll get an Oz. Oh well, I still have one of these seeds left for another run. Possibly some in the finished buds? But I can't see any.

looking great,yeah on the trich end ,can be hard to see at times but when mine get about 30-40% with red or amber is when I take mine down, some like to take it when they get milky, gives more of a head buzz can still work or function, the closer to amber or amber will give you more body and head buzz more couch lock lol,I like booth so go with the old 30-40 lol,Yours are looking great good job

Thank man, I'm looking forward to harvest. And I am starting all my seeds for the greenhouse this weekend, pot and veggies. It's going to be a great summer.

Well, I'm pretty sure I've made it through without any pollination. I can't see any evidence of seeds anyway.... But it wouldn't hurt my feelings if I find 5 or 10 seeds so I can keep growing this strain. I still have one left.

This could be chopped now. Handful of amber trichs, most are milky, and a few remain clear. I think I'll wait for a 4/20 chop just for the fun of it. Buds are unbelievably dense, I snuck a little squeeze in an inconspicuous spot.

The smell and density seem different than the weed it came out of. This has a strong citrus smell. The pot I had before was a 4 or 5 out of 1-10 on density. But it looks like the potency should be there. Super frosty! Stoked, I will do a comparative smoke report between the dispensary version and this oneafter a good cure.

Btw, the main cola isn't fox tailed. My dumb ass wasn't paying attention a few weeks ago and picked it strait up into my cool tube.:-x

Thx Kingrow, I probably won't grow out the other seed I have for while. But , let's say I did and wanted to make a few seeds....Could I take a branch with a sack or nanners put it in water, collect pollen, then pollinate a small bud site and get a handful of these seeds? Or would it send the plant into hyper hermie mode because it has been pollinated? Too much unknown for me?

Also, what about cloning? If I take a cutting on the next one and make a mother, will the mother become more unstable over time producing clones that hermie worse? Or will it stay the same?

Click to expand...

Hermie stuff is more down to stress not genetics, better growers make less seeds. Clone, plant the seeds and have fun but its cheap to buy a whole new fresh lot so you have two options to explore and neither will be that bad just like that hermie you've grown that actually looks like its going to make some great weed :-)

Right, I'm still learning this hermie stuff. I just want to be able to have this weed around for a long time. I'm pretty sure this exact cut of BB is only in some commercial growers hands. I've looked all over and can't find BB quite like this. Maybe I'll make some seeds before I attempt to make a mother so I can reduce the risk of losing the genetics....or maybe make a mother and take a bunch of cuttings to make seeds.... Something like that! :razz:
