Hello all,
I found this thread ~one year ago, read the first 600 pages or so, searched for some questions I have had but I have never posted and never clicked to the last page until now. It is very sad to see what has happened but I just went and purchased SB's book as a thank u for all the great info I have gained because of Stinkbuddies. I have had many successful harvest but now have problem I would appreciate help with if anyone has dealt with this personally. ALL of my plants are turning Hermie! This has to be something I have done. I have had plenty of success the past year.
Hermie problem is this... the children do great til ~week 5ish. Then right out of my beautifully looking buds sprout these tiny banana dick looking things. They never open up fully to pollinate the other 4 rails. The finished product is still amazing but i am pissed at this. It is particularly bad with my Ogiesel and not nearly as bad with my Sour Diesel and Corleone kush.
Things I have recently changed... I am taking my veg to 5 or 6 weeks before moving to bloom, because of this i have been forced to cut the roots numerous times due to intertwining with other plants. ( i Think this might be my problem) Some ppl at my local hydro store said it might be that my room stays btwn 80 - 85 degrees.
Side note... I plan to read up / figure out SS's system and probably switch to that since it seems most ppl posting here now are using this method but in the meanwhile any input would be greatly appreciated.
and if it helps... I run 4 600w's , I have CO2, I use RO and keep ppm's aroun
