Plush Berry Picture Thread

[LILBSDAD]

View attachment 1848012View attachment 1848011Just popped my plushberrys (10/10) and 5 of them have very distinct pinkish purple color on the stem under the leaves, and 5 of them don't (sorry for the horrible pics). Has anyone else noticed this? Just wondering if it is possible that these could be the pink/purple phenos? I will be marking these and see what happens

I'm flipping mine tomorrow.... Finally... It's crazy because I started with 10, lost 4, and then the other 6 were all very vigorous, uniform, and female. I didn't get one male from these seeds, lol. Very strong stalks. I can't wait to see these go.

 

[shagratt]

Sorry bro but it's YOU
I paid 60 bucks or so for a 5 pack of which I have 2 phenos that demand 500 a zip....so worthy investment??? I think so!

lol where I live it probly goes for like 150 a zip
I would love some suggestions. Does this strain herm from anything in specific? Some strains have weakness. Ive grown other plants out with same nutes soil and conditions and recieved no balls or nanners.

 

[shagratt]

It could be overfert, maybe. Ive considered it. But my last watering I gave half my plants nutrients and half of them nothing. And all of them are growing the same way. None of them have any stunted growth. The new growth is coming in a bit lime green but darkens up after a few days.
When I water my plants, I always give them like 1/8 of the direction dose.I use Humboldt nutes that say to use 5-15ml per gallon. I use 2-3 ml. I always use way less than most growers. I feed maybe once every 1-2 weeks. Its possible my FFOF soil was bad i guess. After the transplant thats when the new growth was coming in a bit brighter than normal.
Anyways.. Ive grown plants in much hotter temps, and I have grown plants that I fed a shit ton of nutes to. Ive grown plants where ive lost half the leaves before flowering and they still came out female. If I did cause my plants to herm out on me, the amount of stress they can handle is minimal at best... They are growing at a normal rate. Im gonna take some pics and ill post them soon.
Sorry, im just upset because this is my third round growing where a stupid problem fucked everything up. I grow my pot the same way every time, and every time something different goes wrong? Last time I recieved clones that were powder mildew infested (from 2 different dispensaries!). Every new leaf was growing that fuzzy shit, even though my seed plants right next to them were perfect. They were all females, but I had to spray them with shit every 5 days, there was no way to keep a mother plant. And of all the seeds I have ordered from attitude, probably have about 3-5% success rate. Its not like ive never grown big healthy plants before. I grow the same way every time, and the results vary sooo much.

Side note: Its still possible that only the plush berrys went hermi on me. Im still not 100% on the other 2 plants. But I do know 3 of the plants are true hermis.(2 were the same phenotype, the other looked close to it). The 2 other plants are less branchy plants, they kinda look like they have balls but they also look more like fems then the bushier plants. Ill give these 2 more days before I can say for sure.


The first pic is one that is hermi, you just cant see it very well yet. Ive already removed a few balls from it, Im just waiting to see how bad it gets. The last one is one of the ones I still have some faith in.. Ive only cut balls off the 3 larger plants yet. The other 2 look more promising,but there is some suspicious growth.

 

[shagratt]

Its kinda hard to see cause im not good with cameras.. This is from the one I chopped already, had balls all over it.
As you can tell these plants have pretty much nothing wrong with them. They are about 9-10 days in flowering. You can see how the new growth is slightly more light green but other than that idk what I can say I would do different.I gave them a watering with 1 tablespoon epsom salts/gallon maybe this caused it? I had my exaust fan hooked up a little bit inefficiently at the beginning of flowering and on hot days the temps got to 90(where the top of plants were) for 3-4 hours. My flowering lights turn on at 6pm so heat is only an issue on hot days for those 3-4 hours. Id say my average temp is 75-80 in the room.

 

[burrr]

Unless it's normal for plush to grow really really dark green, I'd say your over feeding.

 

[Rrog]

9-10 days into flowering and you have balls? Man I sure do not miss chem ferts.

 

[ataxia]

My plants should be just the same!
Im just curious.. Did you stress the plants at all? I need to know what I did wrong. I think it has something to do with feeding them nutrients incorrectly. I use humboldt nutrients and useually mix pretty weak solutions. I use RO water. I useually give them whatever it is I think they need. I do not have a great way of measuring PH. I just use the ph test strip paper. My ph is useually just barely on the acidic side when I water.

Ugh.. when I first started growing marijuana I never had these problems. Now every time I try to grow a plant i get fucking hermis for no reasons. I blame the breeders... I dont know what I can be doing wrong. If a plant needs to be babied so fucking much to grow why do people even grow the seeds? Ive grown pot in like 105 degree before no hermis. This time the highest it got was 90ish... And was only for a few hours lol. Ill take some pics later. This is my third time getting fucked over for genetics. Its to the point where people have no fucking quality control and just sell everything top dollar. Im really sick of this shit. I cant afford 60 dollars for 5 fucking seeds. Its a joke man... I know how to grow fucking weed its not hard. But thanks to ripoff assholes its getting really hard. I think im just gonna take my growtent down because ive gotten screwed so many times and the power here is too expensive. It costs me like 500$ minimum to grow these plants out. And the fucking faggots who can easily make like 1400 seeds on one plant sell it for 10 bucks a seed. Fuck my life...
I understand that growers make mistakes and I am not the best grower.. But its still ridiculous, the price of seeds is a complete ripoff. And im just wondering, why I get such better success rate every time I use bagseeds or seeds from a friend...
Basically the better people say their seeds are the worse the plants turn out from my perspective.
Ive probably grown about 30-40 plants start to finish.
Of these only about 10 of them were any good.
Im at the point where I just want a single healthy plant. ONE SINGLE HEALTHY MOTHER PLANT.

Ive been fucked off so many times..

Quit growing .. it's you not the breeders ... if almost all of your plants are turning hermie wouldn't that be an indication of trouble on your end?
Are you scrubbing all the pollen from your room after you pop out your hermies? The pics of your plants in the tub has me doubt that your cleaning your bathroom and shower curtain everytime you water or feed.
.... maybe you're just having a bad day .....
but don't claim you're getting fucked over. From the tone of this statement your blaming everyone ... most of us have a CONSISTENT problem ie; all hermies will try and figure out what it is we did wrong... One hermie then MAYBE you can blame the breeder especially if they're feminized. You're talking about TGA which is not.
Hopefully this was just an angry rant, we've all had em. But don't blame the expensive seeds and breeders for your growing issues..

Ok then why have I grown these same seeds successfully with the same growing methods?And its not always hermi problems... Last 2 rounds it was powdery mildew. Before that it was hermis because I used the additude. I only get hermis from the attitude seed bank lol...
Even with the shitty seeds and clones I have still produced about 0.3gpw. Which is really shitty but good for starting with crappy seeds.

1.You come up with some bad arguments. Plants in bathroom = dont clean my growroom? WTF? Who the fuck cleans their shower curtain when they feed their plants.. My bathroom is sparkly clean ROFL.
2. I dont need to hear attacks on my growing skills. I am confident in my abillity to grow marijuana. I still have questions, and unless you can give a logical answer is to why my plants may have went hermi. I dont really want to hear it.
3. I am ranting because well, seed companies are making too much money and not using enough quality control. Useually when my plants do grow out, they dont even match the description on the seed pack. Ive even gotten seeds that were premature.(from 'reputable' seed companies). Some times it literally feels like they just throw random seeds in a pack and sell it for 60$. It just baffles me 60$ for seeds. I could literally make millions of dollars selling seeds at that price.I moved to California to grow weed, well ever since I moved here people mysteriously start ripping me off. hmm........................ I remember buying clones I ask specifically "these plants arent prone to powdery mildew are they?" They say "of course not" then one fucking day later they start producing mildew on almost every leaf. (THIS IS NOT FROM MY FUCKING CONDITIONS)
4.I clean my whole room every grow. I clean inside the tent. Outside. I clean my bathroom every weak. I have never had any mold or pollintation problems. I HAVE NEVER HAD POLLINATION TAKE PLACE EVEN THOUGH IVE HAD THIS MANY HERMIS. I spend about an hour every day making sure nothing is wrong with my plants.
5. I said 3-5% success from attitude. Ive grown plenty of other plants out perfectly fine. Back in the day when these online seeds first started being popluar ALL my plants were good to go.

Basically if the seed maker cant come up with a good reason, from my perspective it will always be their fault. If its just a picky strain I would like to know that. But dont fucking tell me "I stressed the crap out of mine and its still female" because that is obviously not true if my plants are looking so healthy and have balls. If I were to go back to the dispensary and talk to the guy that said its not prone to mildew. Whos fault would it be his for lying or me for believing??

 

[Rrog]

If it were me bro, I'd listen to what every single reply in this thread said...

 

[burrr]

And you say you've run some bag seeds with this same setup, same tent, same nutes and no hermies?

 

[burrr]

Subcool, perhaps you can clarify. Are there seed companies out there that are selling strains with higher than normal rates of hermies, and powdery mildew? Does selling seeds for a living bump you into the 1% class, you filthy rich ol' hippie?

 

[Rrog]

This seems like a witch hunt

 

[shagratt]

Unless it's normal for plush to grow really really dark green, I'd say your over feeding.

They look overfed to you?

This is a random plushberry, has dark lookin leaves to me. I fed these plants medium-low amount of nutrients. Is pb super light feeder?
Overfeeding is honestly the most likely explanation.But that doesnt make sense still lol..

 

[shagratt]

Yes exactly

 

[shagratt]

no chem ferts here 100% organic.

 

[Rrog]

Ferts are ferts. "Organic" is simply a new label to try and address a market. Organic really is compost, EWC, and soil.

Anyway, you are posting on ground zero for Plush Berry growers. Have a look around at the dozens and dozens of PB growers, PB grow logs, PB pics. You see anyone else with an issue? Before I went down the PB road, I read a lot of grow and smoke reports. All looked very good and so I jumped in the PB pool. Been my best grow yet.

 

[shagratt]

If this is an overfert problem.. Im gonna be really pissed because I fed my plants so light on food. They have no burning leaf tips. If the plant herms out before burning its leaves wtf? Last time I watered them I gave half the plants a decent dose of nutes and half of them plain water. Both seem to be growing at the same rate still. Its possible overfert of N. But since when do plants hermi out just from having a tiny bit of extra N? And FYI I havent given them any N for 3 weeks. I gave them a shot of N when they were in small pots then 5 days later transplanted to bigger pots with FFOF. I never feed N after a transplant.

 

[shagratt]

Thats exactly why I selected this strain in the first place. I wanted something that I dont have to worry so much about hermis. That is literally the one thing I look for and thats the one thing that goes wrong lol.... I read every single plushberry thread before I even ordered the seeds :/ Thats one reason i feel played. Theres all these threads of this strain and youtube vids where he talks about "eliminating herms" and where people say they "stressed the shit out of it" leading you to believe its a stable strain. Then you do everything almost perfectly and you get a room full of balls. Makes you seriously question.
Im just wondering, dont stressed hermis result in banna hermis? These plants have strait up balls.

P.S - Im sorry for sounding so angry. but i basically am. Im not saying you are one of those people who is ripping people off subcool... But there are people that I know have ripped me off in the past, so now everything that goes wrong just pisses me off. Im not claiming to be some kind of know it all grower. But one thing I do know is, you basically promoted this strain as a super stable strain that was bread specifically not to hermi out. And now I have hermi plants that look healthy, how can I not be pissed?
Even if it is 100% my fault. How can people afford to learn to grow if they have to pay you that much money for a few seeds.. For 50$ I feel like I should get more to work with. I know it takes alot of "work" to find good genetics. But when you have stable plants and your shit is dialed in you should be able to produce seeds efficiently enough to sell them cheaper.. You can get like 40 seeds from a quarter ounce nug lol. Where I live people sell QO for like 60$. If you grew a plant outside and pollinated it you could get literally thousands and thousands of seeds. So why are they 10 bucks a pop?

 

[Crash666]

I think good seeds are pricey because of the rare elite genetics that go into making the seeds and the time and money involved in breeding. Buying seed from a reputable company typically guarantees good quality genetics and usually means some research was done and the best phenotypes were selected to breed with. I'm pretty sure all the GOOD BREEDERS out there spend months if not years developing the super dank we all love so much. There's always the risk of getting busted that should be figured in as well. All my TGA gear has produced great for me, making those $10 seeds more than worth it. There's plenty of overpriced crap around for sure, but there's some good stuff as well. Now here's some overpriced seeds: http://www.cannabis-seeds-bank.co.uk/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=1068 $34 a seed!
