tahoe is fire, but i'd stick to the reg's.. i know plenty of people who have grown tahoe reg's and no one has bitched about hermies on them..
i've grown a few cc strains, the larry and the pre98 bubba fem, and not one hermie out of the lot...
anyone interested in cc's tahoe, i always like to point them in the direction of the skunk munkies smoke report on the tahoe.. if that shit don't make you want to grow it, nothing will...

Just like anything else in life, there is good and there is bad, but its all apart of the process.
We have been growing this plant for thousands of years, yet this tendancy still remains locked in the genes, and for a purpose.
It happens with all companies. Bring me any cannabis plant in the world, and I will easily show you how to make it hermie
Its genetically impossible to remove that trait from the pool without some seriously advanced genetic modification equipment, which doesn't even exist.

wen i first started doin fems never a prob like first 4 yrs ,then all ofa sudden everyone has fems and most are hermied.not good for me and my bad back pickin the bastards.Just like anything else in life, there is good and there is bad, but its all apart of the process.

Given the choice, I choose regular sex seeds. I am not for feminization of cannabis. Its bad for both the species as well as our species, especially long term.
But that goes without saying that in my past I have grown many fem seeds. Some of which is the best fire I have ever smoked. BUt its the genetics that were good, not the sex(ing) of the plant. I am sure that if they were in regular form they would have been just a good if not better.
I believe that we should attempt to give cannabis the potential to reach its fullest genetic potential. That just won't happen, genetically speaking, from a feminized seed. Inherently they can't genetically reach full potential due to feminization precursors. The mutation puts sexuality above and foremost over potential and medical traits.
No different then the genetic traits that dominate a auto-flowering gene. Its primary genetic focus, is on early flower/early finishing, not medical properties or genetic potentials.

fuck it...im going with the osd and mr nice master kush x skunk#1. i was planning on buying the mk x sk#1 a few wks back, but ran into some bumps so i didnt go with it. got a while before im done with this run of sugar punch and chocolate rain. sugar punch reeks so fucking much, that i have to change my shirt if im gonna go anywhere. my veg tent is full of sp and choco rain clones, so im eager to finish those up for when i do get my beans get em cracking quick.

that purpose is procreation! i totally agree all plants CAN herm but im just saying some have a tendancy to because its in their genes just like your family might have more heart attacks than mine...i just choose not to buy seeds from your family, i dont want a higher likelihood of a heart attack loljkJust like anything else in life, there is good and there is bad, but its all apart of the process.

and im runnin that freebie i havent counted them out just going to be very wary
purchased a pack of reg beans and ran 2... both turn out female.
u dont get it... ALL plants hermie late in flower.. when no male is present then produce male sacs and pollinate them selves.. the purpose is what u stated that its to procreate.
yes CC has a alot of bad reviews but lets try and figure out the problem.... most of the genetics they use are hermie pron because they arent heavy feeders, but I feel its more grower mistake.. alot of u guys follow charts and shit and tend to overnute... u may not see the burned leaves but if ur taking these above 1000ppm then ur probably in hermie territory... for the OSD's and other CC's i've ran i tried to keep it in the range of 700-800ppm, never yellowed until late in flwer when i back off nutes and grew strong daily... idk that range works for me and never had any problems and i've ran at least 6 CC strains.

no.....you dont get it...all plants dont! lol....look at my recent smoke/grow report here - https://www.rollitup.org/smoke-reports/523547-paradise-whiteberry-grow-smoke-report.html i had 5 plants and one little male flower popped out on one plant not all 5...also ive grown many times without any male flowers what so ever at any time in flowering early or late

yah, i ran the pre98 bubba fems from cc.. it was some straight fire, but the yield was complete ass, even for a kush strain ime.. i know i could have gotten a bit more if i gave her more room, and lst'ed the fuck out of her, but as was i had to toss it out of the garden in favor of something that put out more..

I got a book on cannabis botney, and I think some where in the book I read that is servival instinct to release pollen when there's no males present. That doesn't mean its a hermi, its just in its nature. If the plant is left to over flower, and not cut down at its peak I could probally do its thing. Then again even if it did release pollen, it won't do really much cuz seeds need atleast 6 wks to develope. I think that's what dustbomb is trying to get at.
and how long did u let those go?.... stop being naive.. i dont care how many plants u did... yes plants are hermie pron but all plants do hermie late... leave some 8 weekers inthere past the point where it stops growing then come back to me... ur whole arguement is that it didnt happen during ur 8-10 week flower and since u did 5 plants then it never happens.. i'll find legit info then come back so we wont have this back and forth shit

haha and why would you leave your plant up past the point where its growing, past the point when its done?? ofcourse it will hermie if you just keep letting it go forever!!! im not disagreeing with you just saying theirs no point to let it live long enough to have those late male flowers that means its ripe its time to cut em down man..all i was saying is if it herms late in flower BUT still within your flowering window thats not just oh all of em do that. that shouldnt happen, i agree if you let them flower past their window then ya they will start popping male flowers, all of em eventually, but that jsut makes no sense to do..male flowers within your normal flowering time is bad genetics, and im not just talking one male flower man i mean if they start popping up everywhere.....and im not trying to have a bs back and forth and bash eachother i can be a grown up and share my thoughts and ideas and if you say something smart back at me you have the power to change those!!
