it depends on what kind of green light you are talking about. And the amount of darkness would depend on a lot of factors, but 24hrs is pretty standars around here, I have seen more than 24hr darkness cause quite a bit of mold over the years... with my own eyes.

All of my females were hermie ,except for the bagseed that I grew on the side. I guees the blueberry strain is 85% hermie so getting one that is not is very slim ?? I do remove the sacs and there is very few of them but some times they will grow and open in one 12 hr dark period they are very fast.

it looks like your calyxes are coming in a little more densely (there weren't any close ups yesterday was there?), which is the first step to a swell, so I would say your on the right track, :), they may swell overnight, but I kind of doubt it, that may be another week away or so, :P. Hermies are easy to breed out so long as you have the proper set up (that is crucial!) and a decent amount of time on your hands, but cloning is a good start!

I am interested in knowing more about this as I have nothing but time on my hands as this is strickly for personal smoke. I have 5 female clones and two male clones help !!!

PIants Iook nice and resinous , i know havin a few seeds on them sux,it gotten on mine to, removed about 15 maIe FIowers off mine or so, a few seeds dont mean nuthin most maIe fIowers are on the very bottom, and usuaIIy just the bottom tiny premature buds are affected, may get a few at the top, but far from affecting the potency of the weed theres thousands of caIyxs but just few seeds. your buds wont even reaIIy start growin tiII you get in the day 30 on up for the next two weeks , then they'II get reaI heavy. your doin everything rite i see ,just sit bak and watch, beautifuI Ieaf coIors on your pIants aIso.:hump:

I think you will see a noticeable difference in the bud size pretty soon if not already. but those ladyboy's are looking sexy. lol. I'm wondering why this strain would have 85% hermie rate. From everything I have learned in biology classes and recently reviewed in my anthropology class, if the hermaphrodite gene is (assuming it is a gene) can be breed out. Even if it is a dominate gene, the recessive gene can be breed to make purebred recessive, non-hermie plants. Don't you remember the Punnet square?

I have kept one male ,I have seen several male flowers open and I have been taking the white pollen and spreading it on my hairs BUT nothing seems to be happening?? BY all the things I have read it says that only a couple of hours after pollinating a female her white hairs will turn brown and dissappear?? This is not what is happening for me, I can see the pollen on my hairs and nada!! HELP IF YOU CAN????:?:

is this the reason for your hermie rate...until you did this thats when everything went down hill

What is the Punnet Square?

Honestly, the more I'm reading, the more it seems to me that this plant almost wants to be completely transsexual/transgender in nature.

I did some seeding about ten years ago, A friend ( Very knowledgeable) and I took a hermie and had it pollinate itself, We took those seeds and had about a 78% Female seed rate from those. We did notice that the ones that were male were about 65% hermie. Any answers to as why? How do you breed out that dominant trait?

The punnet square is the diagram that shows how gene's are passed down from parent's to offspring. It is the chart that helps depict the findings of the monk gregore mendel and his pea plants.

Introducing Punnett Squares

that website has a pretty simple but thorough explanation.
