    Have you grown out Hermi seeds? All Hermi plants?

    There definitely are female plants that never herm on their own. They're the females. Trouble is there's both monoecious and dioecious plants present in cannabis. So we have to sift the herms out. I'm a firm believer there's more hermies than people like to admit. It's my understanding they...

    Have you grown out Hermi seeds? All Hermi plants?

    To me, Herms are all the same. Both male and female parts on same plant = Hermaphrodite. Dioecious plants can't do the same thing. They just can't. Not possible without sts or what have you. Something interesting about hermie cannabis plants, though, is the chromosomes are XX. That's not to...

    Have you grown out Hermi seeds? All Hermi plants?

    Recently, I grew a bagseed which turned out hermie when it produced male flowers end of the grow. No surprises there, was kind of expecting. But it's otherwise been a really good plant. Ticks all the boxes for a keeper, besides the intersex trait. So I've cloned it and am doing another run with...

    Flower advice

    They look fine to me, they're not rotten. Do you ever let your auto watering base run dry for a day or two, before topping up the reservoir again? I recommend you do. Same as self watering pots. It's good to let the pots dry up a bit every now and then. In my own experience cannabis hates...

    Flower advice

    If you fed grow nutrients recently @ recommended amounts, then I'd say hold off on giving anymore food for a bit. Read the directions on the product, it should have a recommended feed frequency. If there's any deficiency, to me, it looks like Iron. So why? There should be plenty iron around...

    Bet you haven't seen this one before

    IMO it's either potassium or magnesium at a glance. You're feeding them, so question is, why? Maybe you just went a bit heavy handed on the dry nutes and they're a bit locked out?

    Vaping vs. Smoking: Which is Healthier?

    I've had a nasty cough for years smoking bongs. Recently bought a volcano and am never looking back. Whilst I still expect some sort of cough from vaping regularly, my existing bong cough is way better already. I bought mine after seeing my old man kick his bong cough using a mighty vape. He...

    Recently transplanted

    You know, might be a good idea to add organic matter to the top soil, looks pretty in need. Bit of composted cow manure and a mulching would make a world of difference imo. And, it's a good fertilizer. You'll get your nitrogen without much risk of burning your plants. Just leave a good amount...

    Seedling struggling

    IMO you're better off starting your seeds and seedlings in small pots or solo cups, then pot up. Those grow dots aren't going to do you any favors. I think you're better off without them.

    Seedling struggling

    It's not too late to scoop those up and replant them into something better.

    Lst clip made main stock break a little bit

    Then it's A-ok my friend, looks fine / healthy. All the best.

    Lst clip made main stock break a little bit

    Chances are, yes, it'll be ok. They're pretty resilient plants and can put up with a lot. You'll know pretty soon if that top will survive. If it doesn't wilt and stays healthy, keeps growing, then it's all good. If it wilts, I'd just prune it off. Everything will be fine, I think.

    Chop this week? Is there enough amber trichomes, or would you wait longer

    If you have seeds with tiger stripes, then it was longer than three weeks ago. Balls or bananas you have a hermie. You have both male and female parts on the same plant = hermie. And, furthermore the plant pollinated itself and went to seed = hermie. A female plant won't hermie, can't hermie...

    Question about flushing

    I want to put it out there, that the reason store bought tomatoes aren't nearly as good, is because they're picked too early and then gas ripened. Hydroponic or organic should have much the same resulting tomato, if allowed to ripen on the vine. Part of me used to believe flushing had some...

    Drooping and yellowing mid flower?

    what medium are they growing in? what nutrients are you using? pH and EC/ppm of solution? what size are your pots? how often are they getting watered or fed? any runoff? Worth scoping for bugs, though I don't see any evidence. I think it's evidently something at the root zone, judging by the...

    General Mother hunting strategy

    If I may be honest, it's not a lot of room to work with. Once you have a chosen mother there won't be room for much. My own space I use for clones and starts is 2x3. I've always found it a bit too small. Can reasonably fit one mother plant + tray of clones or seedlings, but not much else. When...

    General Mother hunting strategy

    You can use Feminized and you can use a clone. Though I do think there's some truth to taking a cutting from a mature plant.

    General Mother hunting strategy

    Doesn't matter at all if the mother is from seed or clone. You can usually sex a plant that's about 4-6 weeks old, regardless of it's light cycle. If your cloning game is good, take a few cuttings of each plant, right before you put the plants to flower. Should be enough space to house and...

    List three things you learned from last grow.

    1. Lights off temps can be pretty cool when running 1000w HID. 2. Some plants really don't suit being in a tent. Find a new cutting. 3. Have a backup for measuring pH. Don't be an amateur and get stuck in the mud.

    Would I be able to harvest her tomorrow? Day 64F

    Yeah, really teaches you patience this stage of the grow. You're nearly there, just a little longer, well worth the extra time.
