Finding red hairs early

So the story is that this is my first ever grow and to no suprise I found some red hairs about 2-3 weeks into flowering. Now, 6 weeks into flowering, I have figured out what she was trying to tell me. Damn bitches hermied on me!!! I should be really mad at myself cause I have figured that the problem was my very inept set-up that was allowing there to be all kinds of light to get her during night-night time. Oh well, supose my first grow is just going to have to have some seeds in it.

this is good !
if you had a female, which turned into a hermi from stress, you now have all fem seeds, when it poillinates the others. not 100 % if it poillinates itself if they are fem or herm, grow em to find out

then I suppose I do have fem seeds if what u say is true, cause I have already found seeds on the 2 females I have. I am positive they were females to begin with and found at least one branch with "balls" on it as well. Thanx for posting

Of course, actually 90% of hash producing countries, eg. india, africa. They also pollinate there crops with males to induce the capitate stalk to form, there is no proof that seedless is weaker, although it will yield less bracts. We only assume that seedless pot is better (and im leaning towards the facts that its not stronger per gram. just more of it.) Still i would never leave a male in my room.

Thanx for posting. i can see your reasoning for the more bud if no seeds and I hope you are correct on the potency, cause I'm not going to lie, I always heard the other way. Peace.

Me too, but wheres the proof. I do not believe it will be better or anything, im just trying to keep you happy about your crop. :blsmoke:

If the plants are from female seed or female clones they cant pollinate anything. They will produce female seeds but you need male pollen to pollinate females! You can smoke the herb though with no problem!

Oh, no doubt, 'kinda free' (i.e. nutes, medium, lights...) bud is always better than paying out the ass for it. Besides, first grow, I'm happy keeping them alive this long, lol.
