A Fool and a Hermie Seed

the two go hand in hand? some would say so
but i'm in need of a female plant, and ready to pluck roosters if it comes to that
last grow was male from reg seeds, hermie before that, and hermie seeds = feminized
i'll also admit i'm curious what will pop out from a S1 seed

the parentage is a brainwreck from highgrade-seeds
it did hermie, but nice smoke nevertheless, bit more sativa than the hybrids i've grown
the original plant was a fairly typical looking indica hybrid
though the buds seemed to be more sativa like

here's a very sativa like seedling at 2 days, though i realize it's early(and pic isn't the clearest)
but if there is one thing i remember, is the old sativa bag seed grows i did way back in the day
it's like coming home - so i'll just say i'm cautiously optimistic

growing slow, but healthy, but the parent was a slow starter, and was female, so i'll hold that thought
and the sativa component may not be as dominant as i thought, take what the growing god gives me i guess
1st pic was the brainwreck at day 9, 2nd is the offspring at day 9

not so sativa, shows why it tricky to try to judge too early
actually, is now very similar to the parent
no complaints, i liked the parent, except for the hermie trait
parent is the 1st pic, offspring is the 2nd

this has become pretty interesting, kind of amazed how close the parent and offspring are
1st pic is parent, 2nd is the child
in the 1st week, they looked nothing alike, now at 3 weeks, real close
offspring even has the slightly curved down/rough fan leaf texture which parent had
which makes me nervous, if it's such a good copy, banana city could be around the corner

lol, only because hermies make hermies.
But tbh, I started with 3 clones and 1 seed I found in a bag of purp. I planted it in a "::shrugs::'fuck it" moment and it was of course female. She's been doin just fine since then, but I DO need to get her pH back down. If she gets too stressed i'll be pickin out seeds ;-)
And same goes for you man, godda keep an eye on your....EVERYTHING, too much stress in any way will cause that baby to...well, you know.

Good luck tho, i'll watch.

thanks for sharing your experience, i'm ready for what comes
the 1 saving grace of the hermie parent was its pollen didn't seem completely fertile, less than 1/2 of the pistils got seeded
i figure if i keep it well trimmed of balls, it shouldn't have many seeds, or so i hope

From what I understand when you pick banana's, or balls or whatever the hermie throws at you. For every 1 you pick, 2 more will grow. They say it's best to leave them on (provided they haven't opened yet) until toward the end, that way when you pick, new ones don't have time to grow.

hadn't heard that, but thanks for that info - have to read some more on this
just checked the plant, no balls after 5 days of flower, not that proves much
but the parent hermied very early, i think around week 2 or so

I wouldn't over stress it. You'll have buds no matter what happens.

that is what made me choose this road - need the buds - i think my setup is low stress - had many non hermie grows before
i will probably take off every ball i see, determined to see if i can get a seed free grow
thanks for the support

Sup man, thought I'd stop by and see what you got going on. It seems like I found another fan of highgrade-seeds. What's your setup like? Lights, medium, etc, etc.

i have a micro setup - total of 78w, just 3 26w cfls - enclosed in a 'tube' made from aluminum flashing - it's about 16 inches wide and 38 inches tall
had great luck with the HGS nl#5, about 1 1/2 oz on my 1st grow, which is enough for my small needs
the soil is MG Organic Garden, which isn't bad if you hit with a few amendments, the nute is something called bone meal tea(smells pretty bad)
so i'm kind of a growing free spirit with a strange setup
