my plants were hermied off a plant that was partial hermy. i do believe that plants can be partial hermied because my three hermie seeded plants all had much different amounts of male flowers. one was completely covered in male flowers with small thin buds the other one just started seeding very early in flowering with tons of seeds and the last one was lightly covered in seeds which i just harvested prematurely before the seeds started to be made. i could tell it was time because the pistils were starting to retract and fill the calyx with seeds. dont fuck around with hermied stuff everyone. biggest bummer ever

That sounds like a good method sheckster. previously I had only heard of using gibberillic acid, which I was kind of afraid to try using since it seems to be pretty potent stuff?? If you don't mind saying, about what concentration and volume of colloidal silver would do the trick? probably more than the dropper full w/ a glass of water i take for colds?
I make my own colloidal silver, so I can't speak to concentrations :).... I make it until the water is yellowish-brown with silver particles!!!
(See the pic below for reference)
I use 10 guage .9999 pure silver wire... (2) six inch pieces
1 large Mason Jar
Distilled Water
1 Radio Shack 3 volt- 500ma (milliamp) adapter....
2 alligator clips (1 red, 1 black)

I ordered the silver wire off Ebay... It is important that you use .9999 and not .999 pure....
To make the device-
1) Attach the silver wires into the jar lid, make sure that the silver wires do not make contact through the jar lid... use electric tape around the wire where it meets the jar lid to avoid conduction. Silver wires should be about 1.5 inches apart (SEE PHOTO 1 BELOW)
2) Fill the jar with distilled water (to just below the lip of the jar)
3) Cut end of radio shack power adapter wires and attach red alligator clip on one wire & black alligator clip on other wire (see photo 2) Make sure you cut the end of the adapter that plugs into the device, NOT the end that plugs into the wall!!!!
4) Plug the adapter into an circuit breaker :)
5) Attache red alligator clip to one of the silver wires, attach black alligator to the other silver wire (see photo 2)
6) Leave on for 24 hours/day... for several days... You will probably have to clean the silver ash from the bottom (sorry no photos) as the reaction causes some silver to go into solution and some silver to turn into slag and sink to the bottom..
Continue until you see a color change (sometimes the jar gets debris on the inside and it makes it look darker... clean it!!!)

Note that I use this strictly for medicinal purposes and I am not an evil scientist!

Has anyone needed to bring down the humidity in their indoor grow? I'm still in VEG, but will probably flower in 2 weeks. I read that too much humidity will promote rot/fungi & less crystals

Daily Temp Range: 69-85F
Daily Humidity Range: 50-80%
in veg i just let moving fan go past them, but in flower i just couldn't handle the heat an dhumidity indoor.

Regular seeds wont hermie as easy! but i found my outdoor that hermied was due to too much nutes and not anythign else.

basically, when you become someone who is known, you have people who love you and you have haters. it's part of life. just in this thread same thing happened when Subcool's name was brought up. I like subcool. I like him enough to have his book and strains:cool:

Soma has some decent strains..
Lavendar is a keeper..
I remember another great strain called "medicine man"?? That was a good one too..

As far as seed companies go,,
You could start a company called Dr. G Seeds, buy a bunch of seeds from different companies and make your f1's or crosses, and sell them as "Hawaiian" seeds.....
Like Hawaiian Sour, Maunawili Master, Waimanalo White, and of course the Kalihi Kush !!
Guaranteed you would get a bunch of fanboys swearing by your seeds... Then your next step would be to write a couple "photo books" on your philosophy ....
Put out your own soil.... Fertilizers... whatever~!

Disclaimer: Any of you bastards who take this idea and make bank from it better remember who gave you the idea :)

that's basically what everyone is doing now. that is why you see so much "pheno A" this "pheno B" that all the way to "pheno Z".... then you got your clone only strains, so on and so forth. the thing with herb is that it is still illegal. so you can say whatever bullshit you want in this game. it's not regulated.
