There shouldn't be an issue with fem seeds as long as stable plants are used. I have grown many fems and have yet to find a hermie. Herm seeds are more likely to herm because the parent itself was a hermie, it's in it's genetics.
This was a reference to fem seeds made with pollen coming from a male plant that was reversed using STS (Silver Thiosulfate Solution). Normally there should be stress testing and some background work done before selecting a plant to be reversed. It is this process that makes pollen which will produce only female seeds. Breeders do have problems with this occasionally and the problem can show up intermittently.
If you supply the correct environment and keep up very closely with the natural/light cycle they are already on you should be fine.
Ditto on the thanks to Steathfader for that advice. Have pollen now from both Balkhi and Waziri males to play with.
Which company did you purchase your seeds from? Those are landrace correct?
Killing it bro.
That has been weighing on my mind. I did purchase a bunch of trim wood scrap that are essentially garden stakes from Home Depot for $1 each. I just have to find some netting. What do you use, hammock net?
Awesome thanks! Looking into it now.I just bought some mason line like 1000ft(maybe 5k?) for 9 bucks(home depot) and over the winter was just making nets indoors on taped up on the wall, Then I ran out, so I bought a 2 pack of actual trellis netting for like 10 bucks or so(amazon) I think they were like 5x15 or so.. If your going to need a bunch you can buy it in bigger rolls for cheaper. Hammock I feel like would be way too thick.. The trellis nets I got on amazon are the same exact mason line I got pretty much exact width/strand/feel/everything. They also have commercial ones that are made from a plastic which hold up better and are still light weight. Just search trellis nets and if you decide you need a good amount look into the commercial greenhouse/nursery suppliers for bulk options. I believe They're pretty reasonable for the value they provide. Theres also the technique using the nettting in a scrog type canopy set up you can estimate your yields better when using them if you grow the same strains and do multiple harvests because you can extrapolate the grams per 4x4 inch square "column" across the grow area. if you aim to get like one top per square or whatever.

Edit forgot the net did come with that green bread twist tie garden tie pack with the cutter.. and that has actually been very helpful to have out there for random stuff too.... Definitely worth the 12 bucks if thats all you needed.. But I think these 2 packs only barely covered 1.5 plants around and top...
They dont seem to go very far thats for sure... But same token, dont go the tie your own with string route this year... that shit was annoying and took a long time, But I probably saved about a hundred bucks just hanging out inside watching a movie and tying the same knot over and over..
Trellis netting 6" mesh and stakes.
Looks great, One thing Ive noticed that helps is driving smaller stakes into the ground deeper (possibly at an angle too) right next to your vertical stakes and then tie around them, They seem to shore up the PVC alot better, as well as running a rope across the stakes horizontally toward to bottom, or cross members... Anything to make that whole thing one structure including the plant. Finally... for next time its so much easier getting them in place before the plants grow into them, Cant tell you how many branches Ive snapped trying to get cages and nets in place on bushy plants.. especially by yourself. Good luck this week.
Those look nice and healthy. Where do you get the smart pots?
Yes they are landraces, from The Real Seed Company Co. in the UK. Ordered through their export partner website kwikseeds.com. Excellent customer service, both with replacing some Chitrali seeds that didn’t pop and then replacing the lost replacement order.
Oh boy that sure does look it...
