The only reason I did LST on them was to get more light to the Buds. They are thick little bushes. The was no light getting past the top to the lower bud sites , I just slightly opened them up... not much stress at all, just enough to let more light and air flow in. The buds are really dense and are exploding with groth and the leaves are starting to get covered with crystals! So I am sure they are far from hermies... But thanks for the advise, I got this one under control though. Black Jack is a great plant. Pretty easy to grow and Loves the Nutes. I have no burning at all and have heavy dosed them a few times. I wouldnt wanta go much more than i do. I think the PH testr is whats doing it for me. I have perfect balanced water every time i feed or wet them up. THAT IS SO IMPORTANT! EVERYONE ... PH YOUR WATER! its a life save!
