This is where I subject the strains to intense abuse in order to insure no hermie tendencies before the strain is used outdoors. Nothing worse than checking on a patch only to find a cross dresser in the lot.

They go through numerous stresses that include light, nute and water. Any that fail are removed as it appears. Once they pass the test, the entire life cycle, they end up dying on the vine as they would not be enjoyable.

No, it ensures that you dont get a hermie, I am assuming they are feminized seeds, No? Or clones of a female?

Would you like to grow/breed plants that will morph if the environment isn't as good as it should be? Shit happens outdoors as far as the environment goes.

No, not fem seeds. Yes, clones of females in strains I work with. Only thing I use clones for...stressing. To date my morph rate in the field is zero. That's one less thing to worry about.

The G-13/Haze & THC Bomb will stress out every time in this particular area if grown outdoors. Considering the particular stain that can thrive in your particular area (here, 60 miles is all the difference in the world), the other side of the coin of stress is imposed 80% of the time by lack of building the perfect beast (soil). BLT, I see you know about Hydrogen Peroxide, and it's fungus killing ability, plus adding oxygen to the soil. When a plant gets all the various requirements, it, in itself, will fight off 80% of plant problems. Example, infestation of spider mites is a sign of an unhealthy plant. Killing them does not fix the reason why the infestation started. Creating the soil is 80% of the fun. If done properly, a telephone pole will sprout. They even sell microorganism's in bags & liquid form. With a little bland compost, peat moss, perlite, vermiculite, Epsom Salt, Green Sand, Bat, cow, rabbit & chicken shit, Molasses with whole Ground Cornmeal with a side of liquid Seaweed & a handful of Red Wigglers, you either blow up the place or reenact the Jack & the Beanstalk story. Each additive does different things for the plant. Playing with the soil is as much fun as pissing on a Cop car.

Aaaah, someone who understands the how and why. Now that's refreshing!

There are alot of remedies that don't involve using fungicides. H2O2 works great for soil and hydro. Got root issues in a hydro situation, add 5mil per gallon of H2O2 and watch what happens. Another favorite of mine is 1 Bayer aspirin(the wonder drug) per gallon of water to get rid of Powdery Mildew.

It's always good to have the perfect environment for them to strive. Outdoors guerilla style often does not allow this to be the case. Hence the stressing to induce conditions that could/will incurr.

My "Beat Around The Bushes" point was (Talk about a PUN!!! LOL) ... a little more than chicken shit goes a long way.
