im looking for a really easy stable strain to grow indoor and out that is least likely to hermie, form all the research ive done skunk#1 yields good, smokes good and is easy to grow, but im sick of hermies from fem seeds, i was using clone only strains for years with no problems at all, as soon as i switched to fem all the problems came. i dont have access to clones anymore so looking for a strain that can take a bit of punishment and not hermie

Its not the feminized seeds fault its the "breeders" fault for using hermi prone genetics. Hermis will be present in Regular or Feminized based on there genetic background. The reason you didnt get hermis with clones is somebody else already did the work for you.

can anyone point me in the right direction of a strain and breeder least likely to hermie
Sorta hard to do nowadays with all the Chem,Og,Sours mixed into all the genetics. Id try for something without those 3 in there genetics at all. I wouldnt go with skunk1 though, its rather boring strain in my opinion.

lol of course its my fault, i just want something that can handle some stress and i dont have to worry about ruining my crop
Well some fem are way less prone to herm than some reg. And the other way around. So whether you buy fem or reg isn't as relevant as it may seem. Skunk #1 reg is definitely not herma-proof. It would be wiser to remove the stress factor instead. Or do a selection yourself (stress a dozen plant, remove the hermies, keep the more stress-resistant plants as mothers for clones).

i veg them indoors til there about 6feet under a 1000watt light and then put then in the greenhouse to flower during the winter months, i think they hermie cause of the change in light and temps etc, cause there so big i can never see the male sacks but i can see the seeds after a few weeks or so of flowering

low light stress hermis...6ft plants that dont get enough light to the bottoms hermi from low light stress. Got to lollipop your 6ft plants better and keep an eye on the lower branches the most for these type of hermis.

Out of my limited experience I ordered from BC Bud Depot and got there brand seeds.

The Purple Buddha Pheno I have is one tough bitch, you name it happened to one mother I have, power failure, dehumidifier broke in 90% humidity summer nights, PH pen braking, light leaks, power failer in winter with temps in the 40's. No matter what she has stayed true.

The second is from there limited edition seeds. The "Cultivators Choice - CC" CC-Kalasjnikov which is doing well for me so far.

I Have had Hermies with DNA Genetic's La Confidential and a Purple Diesel but forgot the breeder.

In fact, it happened in the past with skunk #1 from sensi seeds. I do not blame them had success with their other strains. Saw some awesome result from same strain with other grower.
