OK - some more bad news - one of the plants was filled with seeds. SEEDS! WTF!!

Guess it was a heat-stressed hermie - wonder if i should have harvested the seeds.. hmmm too late now -it's gone gone gone.

i suspect pollen got everywhere judging from the number of seeds but i didn't have the heart to rip out either of these two .. yet....

in case you're wondering why i'm not freaking over all these set backs i'll tell you - first - getting upset won't fix it and two - the primary issue:heat has been resolved so the next grow should be awesome!
in the meanwhile though...
and then there were two....

Hey Email. I wouldn't be too disappointed either. I accidentally pollinated a few of mine also. Some more than others BUT I got some REALLY good weed PLUS a bunch of assorted seeds. Its the best of both worlds.
Its all good.
I'm getting a bubbleator

thanks Lacy!

if the PPP produces seeds - i'll keep them. That will be a cross between PPP and Big Bud.. hmmm.

i'm glad you're digging it. now that i have my heat issues resolved - i no longer feel the need to redesign my box so i'm really excited about the next grow - but i'll give these a couple more weeks before making any rash decisions.

i'll call it Big P! honestly - no interest in breeding currently. i don't have the equipment (or patience) to go through as many clones as i'd need to - besides i really don't want to have that many plants going if you know what i mean.

my plan is - if it is seedy (and i don't destroy it) - i'll make some hash - i'll probably do that anyway since i have plenty to last me (it is great to grow your own isn't it?)

and thanks!

other than heat, heat-stressed hermies, and a whole plant gone to seed - yep - everything is going well!

sorry to hear about your hermie!

keeping the seeds? no?

for future reference....look into dutchmaster reverse!

 

[grassgirl]

Oooh, i think it's exciting about the seeds, even tho it aint ideal.

I think I may have a few seeds out of mine, but I don';t mind all is good x

Your plants look great bty

i probably should have kept some of them and if the remaining plants have some - i'll let them finish and get some seeds. Isn't a stress-induced hermie one way to get fem seeds? anyone?

by the time i noticed - it was filled with seed - very impressive and copious amounts of seed!

i've had hermies before but none i let seed. it is kind of neat - there were a bunch of them! very impressive amount of seed.

thanks for the kind words about the plants. i think i am starting to get the basics down.

Yes I heard hermies give around 80% fems & 20% hermie seeds, my plants are very slight hermie's so I'll let them finish seeding also,
Just a quick
Will they take longer to finish if I let them finish maturing the seeds ?

i don't know - i've never done it. From what i read - when the seeds start dropping they are ready - but i'd check with someone with experience harvesting seeds.

Maybe a small 2x2 or 3x3 chamber for male/hermie plants in the future. You could "slap" it together while you learn the basics. I know you can do it man.. use CFL's, they need to live.. not produce amazing bud.

it's not like i don't have the tools and material laying around. one of the things stopping me is i'm out of town a lot so have to leave them for a week quite often. the established plants don't seem to mind (unless they overgrow into the lights) but wouldn't clones be more sensitive to leaving them that long? the other, and primary reason is the penalties increase with the number of plants - and clones count as plants
