The proper way of sexing, is to take an unrooted cutting and put it on 12/12. That way you don't stunt or stress the plant out. From what I have read, all cannabis carry the hermie gene. Some are picky and will hermie under very light stress and others wont hermie even under massive abuse, but it will still carry the hermie gene and most likely pass on genetics that are very unlikely to do so.It may only take a couple few days of 12/12 to show sex, then throw the females right back into 24/0. I have read of many many very good growers doing this method.
If it Hermies, it aint worth keepin in my book
The way it's lookin, Rare Dankness #1 could be unstable and Hermie prone?
I'm growing:
Karma Bitch
Moonshine Haze
GTH#8
GTH#2
Longs Peak Blue
I'll do an experiment. Since I have the Long's Peak Blue and it uses the RD#1, I'll take some cutting when they are ready and stress the plants out and see how sensitive they are to popping nanners. With some strains you can get away with sexing them 12/12 and others will hermie. It sucks but some really elite genetics are hermie prone. OGRaskal,Cali connection have some good stuff that's prone to it. Chemdawg D will hermie from light stress but I would never get rid of it.
