A plant shouldnt hermie just because it is past peak ripeness. to me that just doesnt make sense and further more seems to be the "wrong" way to force hermphapridism. |
Why would it be the "wrong" way? In my (OPINION) it is the most natural and non-synthetic way to produce male flowers on females. In nature, if the female marijuana plant fails to receive pollen, late in the season she will most likely produce male flowers as a way of preservation.---I learned this method from a breeder years ago and have use it quite a few times with great success---To be honest with you, I thought all growers and breeders were using the same method

-I guess not. Anyway, The seeds I have produced using this method have a high germination rate and a very, very low herm rate.
As far as the "EARL" flushing for 6 weeks past peak ripe---You've got me stumped on that one---If I flushed my plants for 6 weeks period(it wouldn't matter when) they would become severely nutrients deficient and probably die(plant stem and leaves have about enough stored energy to get you through a 2 week flush) my rooms look green as grass 2 weeks before peak and yellow as a bananas(fan leaves) at day of harvest. I don't have the answer for that one---Maybe the plant is using the energy of the buds to sustain itself??? I don't know.
