Can you tell if your girl is a hermie without seeing male sacks? Can you tell by looking at the pistils and flower itself (possible future hermie)? Seems like a few pistils arent very long on mine.. (under developed).
Most hermies I have seen don't actually product the large male sacks like you see on a regular male plant, but a small "yellow banana" that sticks out of the bud. That will have the pollen in it that people use to create feminized seeds. So, if you see all bud with a weird looking small yellow banana looking thing you know you have a hermie. Although I keep mine because genially if it is only one or two banana's it doesn't product many seeds. But also any seeds you do find will be viable. While they most likely will product a hermie plant, it will be like its mother to where it only produces a few male bananas.

This is why people notice that many greenhouse seeds hermie. Because they ONLY sell feminized seeds. And to make feminized seeds you must stress a plant out so they develop that banana. This is usually done buy flowering it 3 or more extra weeks.

If you don't believe me you can do a search for a post I did about a method to feminizing called the Rodelization method. This was written by Soma but I posted on these forums about 2 years ago. I am sure you can find it by doing a search or just look at my old started threads and look for the making feminized seeds the rodelization method thread. (not sure the exact words but that should be close)

A few people haven't agreed with some things I have said, especially about the MIR technique but I am not going to get into that. I have years of growing experience and only speak out of experience and my studies of botany. Anyways I hope this helped you with identifying a hermie. On the post I made about feminizing seeds if you look at my comments a few pages after the first you will see a picture I put up of that male banana I am speaking of. Its very small and hard to see but you should be able to identify it after seeing that.


On another note my new poll is up on my blog. I want to know what my readers want for there first contest prize and/or free giveaway. So if you happen to visit my blog vote on the poll please. Its on the top right corner of my blog. You can visit my blog at http://Cannabis-Country.blogspot.com




i have bubblebomb, exodus cheese backcross, pineapple chuck. yeah i wanna try them waterfarm but i dont think i need any 18/6. why bother?
Thanks for the info amber. I was very impressed with your pictures. You did a great job. I am guessing you been growing awhile. And I agree, if your getting those results why bother with 18/6
Out of those strains what one would you say is the best for the 12/12 method?

I was actually interested in trying the bubblebomb. Never smoked or grew it before.

so who keeps a fire extinguisher handy?
Everyone growing should have a fire extinguisher growing or something to combat a fire. Better safe then sorry.

Hi Kratose, Thanks for the compliments. This is about my 3rd grow. I havent been growing very long, maybe about 2 years. I started in the phototron with no experience at all. I never grew a plant or took care of one my entire life before my marijuana plants. i finally feel a bit more confident as a grower.
That is a complex question about the strains.. Im still learning. all my selections for this harvest have been super. But a lot of that has to do with my nutes, growing in coco and the correct pots. Optimal growing enviornment and constant attention.
Delboys strain.. bubblebomb.. massive yielder for 12/12 from seed. You need to get that one if your serious.I really want to see what i can do with her in a waterfarm. shit if i can produce 30 106gram wet kolas off of one plant..hahha,that would be sick.
Amber, here is the Purple Le Pew 12/12 from seed

beautiful.. how long since you changed to your hsp flowering bulb.?

i have a fire extinguisher. should i keep it in my house or in the garage with my garden?
remember the rules for using your fire extinquisher...
P.A.S.S.
PULL, AIM , SQUEEZE, SWEEP.

alright lads planning on doing my next grow, thinking of starting 1 ak48 and 1 dna sharksbreath and going 12/12 from seed then after 4 weeks adding another 2 seeds every 4 weeks (hoping to have only 4 plants and 2 seedlings in at any one time. gonna be using a 250w hps in my tent (100x100x200) and having them all an even canopy by raising the smaller ones if i have to. is this do-able and do any of you have any suggestions? aim is to produce 2 oz of dry bud every 4 weeks. also have a smalll cabinet rigged up with cfl's for early vegging stage.
just finished my first indoor grow was in a wardobe can check it out in the link in my sig

Hey guys, I was reffered here by a forum user. Basicy I am going to be growing these seeds:
http://www.cannabis-seeds-bank.co.uk/g13-labs-pineapple-express-feminized/prod_1083.html
1 or 2 plants inside a very large (for its type) PC grow case, I was in two minds wether to use 12/12 from seed or do a regular veg period until the case is roughly half full?
Some 12/12 from seeds look really good, exactly what I want from my case but I would ask somebody more experienced for advice? I also have a few questions about it

1) Are there any differences when using 12/12 from clone ?
2) Do you still include a period of 24hr light at the start with 12/12 ?
3) Does anyone know how long roughly 'medium' flowering time is with attitude?
I'm assuming you have to harvest 12/12 from seeds as soon as they reach that time?
4) How on earth do you know how big they will grow? Is it entirely dependant on the 'medium' flowering time (anyone have any experience with attitude 'medium' ?)

thanks

Using 12/12 from seed what's the max number of plants in a 2x2x4 cab with a 150w hps? To fill it up i can put 9 but maybe its too much.

i have this in my cab at the moment.. i ran it 12-12 from seed..
4L airpot, coco, 400w
she stands about 3 foot tall and about 2 foot wide
expecting at least 3oz maybe a bit more
it was about 2.5-3 weeks before it started flowering and has been flowering for 10 weeks today.. so about 13 weeks total
looks and smells wonderful, lots of crystals

1) Are there any differences when using 12/12 from clone ?
this can be done but you will get very little yield, you should root clones properly before transferring to 12-12
2) Do you still include a period of 24hr light at the start with 12/12 ?
if you are doing 12-12 from seed like the title of the thread says.. you do 12-12 FROM SEED.. this means when you plant the seed your lights are on 12-12!
3) Does anyone know how long roughly 'medium' flowering time is with attitude?
I'm assuming you have to harvest 12/12 from seeds as soon as they reach that time?
flowering times should be used as a guide and only a guide, they will be ready when they are ready
4) How on earth do you know how big they will grow? Is it entirely dependant on the 'medium' flowering time (anyone have any experience with attitude 'medium' ?)
basically you don't.. i have grown two plants of the same strain, and ended up with 2 different pheno's, one was 4 foot and the other was 2, general rule is they will double or even triple in size from when they start flowering

thanks
hope that helps... good luck ;)

you'd need to keep 'em small.. very small.. use small pots and maybe even do a bit of lollipoppin' i would think.
maybe get some more light for that space.. 250w would be better or even a 400 ;)
