I'm wondering if you have a strain that's sensitive and you flip the entire plant to flower for 3 days then revert it to veg could that have possibly created the hermaphrodites? Why do other growers just take a cutting and test it instead of exposing the entire plant? Could this have kicked off the hormones to flower and then the re-vegging caused the problem? Is that a possibility?

I'm a newbie, just finished my first grow and am in the middle of my second. So I'm just trying to learn.

good suggestion but if that is the reason for it to hermie i wouldn't consider that alone to be a good one. if anything i've read and seen breeders do much worst to their crosses to see how stable it is, it's called a stress test. lots of people do this and have no problems while doing so. i've have two plants as of right now that i flowered for 4 days before the person decided to pull the plug on the grow, it's been a month since, and neither of the two are displaying any balls. the cross is original diesel x c99 and we all know how sensitive original diesel can be. i've also did cc chemvalleykush before the prior incident and the same person switched the light cycle 3 times during the flowering cycle and it as well didn't herm.

i can't speak for a lot of you band wagon jumpers but a lot of growers that know better would definitely be on alert if something as simple as force flowering for 3 days then switching back to veg makes it a full all out herm. it's all stacking up and people are still like uh, uh, uh, uh, duh. i am not saying the crosses aren't any good but these phantom test grows only exist to a very few and on top of that it seems like they fell to leave out all except for how good the smoke was.

as for the gdp rep, i think he has a valid point along with the others that are doing gj's and reporting how unstable these x's are. and to say he's bitter because you'll wouldn't let him be apart of rd, lmao, it's too funny. from my understanding, ken is legendary as well as most of his crosses, why would anyone jeopardize an establish position for something that has no certainty? i also found it funny that after you state this the rd crew comes in and likes your post but have yet to acknowledge this could of been the problem before you posted it. think about it, it took a newbie to state the so called obvious before these pros did, they know that shit wasn't suppose to happen. especially if you've done proper testing. there's a bunch of og hybrids out there and i have yet to see any as sensitive as this. to look at it on the bright side, now i know what not to do when i pop the seeds i brought. gdp rep thanks for the test grow.

It's a no win situation. If I pointed out the change in light cycle to 12/12 and back so quickly could have caused that, then I would have JJ or someone else flaming me for citing grower error as the cause. So that's why I didn't say that, so I didn't come here looking to blame the grower right off the bat. Catch 22.

I bought a couple packs each of ghost train haze #1 and karma bitch..vegged them into large mothers (culling out males as they showed,and ditching a few less than stellar females) and took big fat healthy cuts around 8 weeks. Im flowering 2 of each pheno (7 gt and 8 kb) and have mothers for each in the veg room. Ill be watching them closely, and will be bummed if I find any herms. But honestly, shit happens,and Id feel lucky if I found one keeper of each strain. If I wanna have the newest and the strongest to smoke on and "vend/caregive" to dispensaries or patients, the flashy new hybrid strains wont always be as stable as strains that are proven,reliable and cheaper. If you want better odds don't gamble on a new company.

Haha nah..I didnt mean I wanted to find a "keeper herm", was referring to a keeper of each strain. Ive smoked on hermed out shit before though, no doubt :)

Tough call. Mrs. RD has been threatening to leave riu. This is either why or I am sure it isn't helping. The internet sure is a double edged sword. It is pretty damn hard to have a conversation when posts are deleted.

it people dont want to be responsible for there actions then so be it

but to say we need to stifle poeples input becuase someone doesnt agree with it is BS

NW GDP rep is the shit i know him have met him and can say he is not slouch at growing

i never read any of the BS and for me its fine thats its gone . . .just the content for all to share shoudl remain . . . what about sending revised versions to OP and deleting the shit talking huh how about smart editing . .. not one sided editing. . .

if rare dankness strains are hermieing we have a right to know not get shut down by the big pale flaced wienie
