Been off the Board for awhile. Harvested my 2.10 plants in mid Sept. Cured without problems. End results...... my JillyBean was the smoothest. The Bingo Pajamas and Jack the Ripper were a harsher smoke, tho I never used a bong, just a short pipe. Got my legal 1/4 lb. enough to get me20160924_070211.jpg thru the winter. I'll pop some autoflowers after New Years.

Well the headwise hermied cuz I screwed up when I transplanted. Think I'm going to let it go anyway. Question is tho will the seeds have a tendency to hermie or will it be normal seed if I decide to use them

Tendency to herm can only be determined by growing the seeds out but that shouldnt be the deciding factor on whether or not you make seeds with your plants or not. If a plant did not express anything that I considered desirable plus it hermed, I would definitely not consider using it for seeds. Ideally you want to wait to see the finished product before you determine if you want to use its offspring or use the plant to make seed. In your case, you are on the fence about even taking the plant the distance and seeing what s(he's) about, which if you ask me is not a proper start for a seed making journey.
Usually you want to be somewhat excited about your parent stock.

All of the old school TGAs I grew were ten times better as clones. The Jilly Bean was like Vicks Vap O Rub!
Bodhi has mentioned some of his more unstable strains did better when grown from clone vs straight from seed but I wonder if there is any plant mechanisms behind this or is it just the grower becoming more familiar with the strain. Theoretically, a clone should behave exactly the same as the plant it was taken from right? I grew his lemon zinger for about 2 years before letting her go, and it evolved quite a bit over time and the last few harvests looked much different than the first few, granted our short and long seasons do have their own effects on flower structures.

Well it's a strain not many ppl have (headband x pennywise) and it's a good looking plant so really don't want to kill it. The reason it hermied was from transplant shock so the genetics are there I was just wondering if the seeds from hermaphrodites have hermaphroditic tendencies or not

I don't see any flower parts. Are there balls forming? Got a pic?

I've heard of plenty of guys who had good success from clone even though the first plant from seed hermied.

How was the Vick's Vap-O-Rub smell? That doesn't sound too great, but cannabis has a funny way of making bad scents smell really good so maybe it was great, huh?

I'd just pluck those balls off as they come unless it gets too nuts. If you can keep up on the ball picking then go for it. Some feminized plants will only throw balls at the beginning of flower and then stop, so I've read from others online.

Burned my nose! The lemon was like sticking you nose in a bottle of lemon pinesol!

Both way too strong for me. Crossing them with Pakistani Punch and with Mulanje really brought the intensity down to a subtle glow.

The diesel smell coming off of the MDL #1 reveg is very pleasing and not repulsive. Can't wait to give it a try :)

Pulling a ton of Maui Wowie fathered seeds off of her.

I too have witnessed clones come out better than the seed parent, I read somewhere that sativa and sativa dom strains tend to get better as they mature so in a sense the clone will be more mature than the seed parent. Which would produce a more mature and better product imho

I'm having good success pulling the balls off and I haven't seen any new ones yet. Also already seeing some trichomes in week 2 so maybe not all is lost

The Jilly Bean smelled like lemon pinesol? That's not what I was guessing it would smell like with a name like Jilly Bean, ha ha.

What's the MDL #1

What's a good way to help prevent harshness when curing? Can it be more than the characteristics of the individual strain?
I'd like a smoother smoke next time.
