Well back to the drawing board...all the blackwaters hermed eventually..couldn't place the blame on any particular one..gave em another try but same shit happened..as far as fem seeds go,iv never had problems before,as I stated at the beginning of this thread..I still like the smell and high from the blackwater,I just can't have beans in my shit!..so off to the market..still got fruity chronic juice and sharksbreath and purple haze..might pop a gigabud soon...

I am not sure why people constantly attack feminized seeds. All seeds can hermi. It isn't hard to stress a fem. or reg. bean to the point it produces seeds. It isn't even something that is exclusive to cannabis. Every year I grow spinach in my vegetable garden, the second it gets excessively hot, here comes the seeds. I have purchased multiple feminized og kush lines from Cali. Connection, DNA, and Reserva Privada. I know you think it's stupid but I haven't had issues with any of mine. Feminized gear has proven invaluable to me anytime space and plant count were a factor.
Feminized seeds are more likely to herm. Even regular seeds made from feminized seeds are more likely to herm. It does pollute the gene pool.

No one else hermied..not trying to be rude sounding,but I got a fair grasp on growing herb..lightleaks,temperature fluxuation etc...not happening in my room..its sealed 2 ways..its the gear I sadly have to realize..I've been shopping for. New genetics,can't make up my mind..so many I wanna try..I do have a pure afghan I still need to clone,but allready nothappy with its veg growth and size(yes I know indicas are squat plants)..also got a bag seed called pot roast that's coming along...thinking of trying humbolts seed org,or og raskals gear...any hermie issues with these breeders..I can't find a lot on HSO...

Dan I think the fact that fems and,well,reg seeds hermie,coupled with the rampant reports of hermies in CC gear,really helps a lot of growers form their opinions of CC..my opinion hasn't changed..good weedi grew,just unstable I guess..if I heard a lot about hermies from another company,bought gear from them,and it hermied..id say the same thing again..unstable..perhaps one day I may consider CC for another grow,but for now I'm going where the birds are talking a lot of good things,good things that have been proven true by me and others..

It's not just CC (although they are definitely part of it), it's a problem with Cali breeders in general. The breeders are in such a rush to put out the latest new trend that no attention is being paid to the integrity of the product. It's just finding a male, throwing in some random female in the mix, and then they have a new strain. Or even worse, finding a strain, self pollinating it, then releasing it. It's not really any different from what anyone can do in their back yards.

One thing you don't see is people complaining about herms in a thread about something DJ Shorts put out.

People can blame the Thai genetics, but I run SoCal Seed Co's thai genetics all the time and never had a herm. Why isn't it a problem with them? They are careful, they make sure everything is stable, and test out their products before releasing them to the public. But this new wave of Cali breeders are all about good marketing and not about putting out a stable product.

Bomb it may be..mine shoots out banannas @6 to 7 weeks...it is the fire,but not with seeds..wheelt01...think that might be agressive marketing?'his shits bad..buy mine'?...just a thought...dan..think the thai issue could be from breeding equitorial strains with others,and in a certain grow environments may hermie because the lineage suggests a longer flower period,but half the plant hates this long time and it stresses out? Thought just crossed my mind when I read that...I could def be wrong,but who knows...all I know is high sativa content takes longer..but is WELL worth the wait..

Gosh damnit, I don t know how to feel about all of this. The strains I have from them are still good and didnt herm on me, but this whole NARC thing has got me weird.

I really do feel for you all..now I've done alot of research to see if cc is any good...and I've seen terrible reviews and great reviews. An I gotta say blackwater is te truth ..although I got no purple pheno at all I swear this is some of the dankest stuf I've ever had..I finally got to taste some sfv og in iits best form..maybe because it was grown to perfection or the gentics are that good ..all I'm saying is if I were able to..I would clone 10
Off of 5 mothers, and 10 more of those 50 lol..I cannot wait to run more cc stuff..riserva privada kandy kush, skywalker kush..g 13 blueberry gum ..cc Girl Scout cookies, positronics jack Diesle , and green house super lemon haze are strains everybody should try once ..man they did great with those strains!!

I'm not saying it isn't dank...it is..I put up with seeds way longer than I wanted to hoping I could cure the hermie thing..but its not my growing that made the hermie..its the breeding I'm guessing..it really bummed me out because when cali connection first went on the market,id drool over all the pics in their catalogue and swear I was gonna grow one of everything they had..I had high hopes for cc..oh well..my potroast bagseed is dank and has thatg lemon og yummyness..not as crystally but still as nice..
