it piss,s you off. you pay good money for good seeds and get complete and utter shit. i got 2 big buddha blue cheese that are hermie and had too cut one down early. i would,nt trust greenhouse anymore they are a set of cum drinking queers and over the past three years there genetics/seeds have become fucked. every other guy tells how there greenhouse seeds grow has gone tits up due too hermies/males. all greenhouse seeds do is say they are the best so people think they are (theyre not).
and i hate the way that arjan names all them strains after himself as if he is the highest athourity on weed. i would never buy fuck all with that pricks name on it.

sorry if i am sounding a bit too angry but there is a reason for this. you see i was a devoted greenhouse seeds grower then one year i get a couple of bananas popping out of my himalayan gold, i thought nothing of it ripped the few off and carried on. then the next grow of himalayan my three plants had three different pheno,s. one was so bad that after 12 weeks of flowering it was mostly leaf and hardly any bud(what the fuck). then next grow was big bang bought ten seeds only 6 cracked no hermies but a serious loss considering my seeds where fem. then finally my latest crop greenhouse white widow FULL OF BANANAS AND SEEDS WTF. so thats it for me i gave them many chances.
my las big buddah did perfect las time,i'm doin it again,will post if it happens...i'm jus stayin reg. seeds.. jus ordered bluemoonshine again amazing plant..105. for ten beans at rhino seeds and the y charged my cc only 170' instead of 225. w/ ship. thats the strain.beautiful plant. nug in my avitar is moonshine,lter.

I came home last night and my 3 ft tall Skywalker was a full-blown tranny! It was gross, within one day all these hermie flowers formed all over it. No light leaks or anything, Im assuming it was just because of the fem seeds... Never happened with any of my other fem seeds tho...

Over here we only fuck with fem seeds. Mostly Dutch Passion and Sensi Seed fems. We've pushed literally 100's of fem'd seeds thru flowering and have never seen a hermie. But when I sign on to this website everyone and they mammas are somehow growing hermies.....strange.

"But when I sign on to this website everyone and they mammas are somehow growing hermies.....strange."

You guys may be better growers than a lot of us Dutch, I've been growing for years but I'm sure I'm still stressing the plants somehow.

We're trying to find the stress factors that are causing hermies in our gardens, and rate the strains and breeders on tendencies to hermie, how much stress is required to hermie. You might be able to walk into my garden and say "Oh yeah, that's a stressor, change that, move this up, use this ph, ..." and problem solved. But in most countries help from a friend or mentor isn't feasable.

Plants turn hermaphroditic in two ways. Some plants are programmed genetically as hermaphrodites. These plants will produce male flowers on female plants no matter what environmental situations they face. Other plants are induced to grow male flowers under stress conditions.


Some plants may be more genetically predisposed to hermaphrodite under stress, but all plants may exhibit male flowers as a sign of stress created by growing conditions. This hermaphroditism is not genetic and does not affect the plant's progeny. Sometimes plants that aren't hermaphroditic outdoors will grow male flowers when grown indoors as a stress response. Stresses can include lighting regimen irregularities, low light conditions or response to hormones.



If a genetic hermaphrodite is crossed to a non-hermaphroditic female, about half of the resulting plants will be hermaphroditic. If the hermaphroditism was caused by environmental factors, then none, some or all of the progeny will exhibit male flowers depending on whether the plants have inherited a tendency towards hermaphroditism under stress conditions and whether the plants face those conditions.

If you have only a few plants and are willing to spend the time making daily inspections for male flowers, you can produce a sinsemilla crop. It's important to remove the male flowers before they open and release pollen.

To add information. I have a White Rhino from Greenhouse as well. Fem seeds. Its looking great huge main cola and no signs of bananas. What a pretty indica plant this is.

In my garden presently I have several Greenhouse Fem seeds going. Two Lemon Skunk, White Rhino and Hawaiian Snow. They are in various stages of flower between week 5 and week 9. I have seen no signs of Hermis and will be harvesting my first Lemon Skunk in a few days.

I am not sure if I am lucky, if it's the strains or the enviroment but I have had one hermi in my last grow and it was bag seed. I do not know the history behind it so it could have been from a hermi, the smoke was decent for bag seed but thought I would give it a try. It show signs of hermi at the very end of the flowering at about week 7.

Hope this information helps. I can only tell you my experiences and so far I have had no issues with Greenhouse. My next purchase will be Kali Mist from Serious seeds because I have heard such good things about it. It is not because I have had issues with Greenhouse.

My skywalker fem turned into a full blown transexual within one day. It was bizarre... little hermie flowers everywhere. I have been keeping a close eye on my others and they seem fine... Raiderman, have you noticed a difference between the fem ducth passion blue moonshine and the regular DP Blue Moonshine? In terms of quality of finished product?

"Im on the 2nd day of flowering should i spray reverse on my plants?"

NHG are you growing from seeds you think will produce hermies? Or from the clones of a hermie mother?

If so you can try spraying once a week as soon as you'd like - I sprayed my clone the first day of 12/12 and each weak since. Its growth wasn't stunted and it's fine about 4 weeks into flower, buds forming, no bananas.

If not - don't fix what isn't broken. I don't know what Reverse would do to a stable plant, but at the very least it would be expensive and unnecessary. If the plant hermies from stress hit it with Reverse once a week, as soon as you see the first banana. My excessive hermie from an S1 took 3 applications to stop producing bananas - but I caught it late, if you catch it when the bananas first start it may take less Reverse to stop the hermieing.

If I just found major hermis I'd be frustrated too. All I can do is +rep and smoke a bowl....and go check for bananas.
i pull mine off, its a threat wen they open.always chek under neath the plant under the lowes branches as well.theyll sneak up on ya and seed your stuff. i would never ditch any plant . jus make daily walks in the garden..i dont have any hermie not as of yet anyway;first hairs showin.BB i'm growin gonna be some real nasty stuff.snowcap purple buds.
