Reserva Privada's Head Band

My "sour Kush" are right at the 4 week mark. I will try and post pic's 2nite. Kinda tall and stretchy (even in veg), but big fat fan leaves! I clipped them at the 4th node about 2 weeks ago, and again at the beginning of this week. There branching like crazy, and they all ready smell super funky. I also have 6 strawberry diesel (HS) growing as well (they also have hermie rumers), so right now I'm kinda on pins and needle's. But my temps are perfect, and I'm paying close attention to my girls, so we shall see. Any tips for this strain (hermie prevention), will be greatly appreciated.

thats good to hear 3eyes.

sounding good GA,as long as its just the balls,and not lil yellow bananas in the buds,youll be fine.
i always wantd to try that STRAWBERRY DIESEL out,post pics of her to,if you will.

I had hermi issues as well.

Started with 5 seeds, got 3 girls.
Two distinct Phenos, one very streatchy the other straight indica looking.
Flowered out the streatchy one because I didnt like the growth pattern much. Stuff came out so-so yield wise, flavor and smell was very hospital like. High was pretty confusing after a half hour.

Cloned out one of the other two and just flowered the other one....TOTAL HERMI - never had an entire plant do it before but at week 6 BANNANAS EVERYWHERE!!!!!!
Culled that little bitch, shit for weight and the quality was subpar compared to the stretchy pheno.

Praying that the issue was the mom and not the pheno because I just put a big load of the final mom I kept into flower, if that batch goes hermi Im going to be sorta screwed for a month.

Overall I would personally stay AWAY from this strain at this point, even if the load does not hermi it would have to be AMAZING at this point for me to even want to try another run.

Sour Kush by Reserva Privada gets a thumbs down from me. I had some high hopes for it too.

That's a trip, so both you guys have mothers herm when flowered? I haven't had an herm issue with the seed I popped and defo no probs with the clones or other mothers I've created. I wonder what would cause that, it sounds weird...

Mine did too, never seen an entire plant hermi till I grew this BS.
Stretchy pheno seems to be the way to go, but yields are pretty sub-par.

sorry for your bad luck,hope the rest do better for you.

My RP sour k hermied out aswell, just one banana cluster ive spotted.. Should make a good lil headstash but im not too impressed with yield or the herm

How the hell could (basically) every single bean grown in the last year be a hermie? Seriously, "just about" every single thread I've seen, about RP headband is hermie hermie hermie! You would think D and A would of heard about it by now, and either fix it, or pull from the shelve's. It suck's, because I'm not even looking forward to the flip, because I already know what's gonna happen.

Well I harvested 3 weeks ago 4 rp sourcush. Clones from dispensary, which were from fem seeds. I had no nanners ever.

Smoke is fire, and resin production makes amazing full melt.

This bud smells great all the way through. Mine were a bit stretchy, but I got 20, 32oz mason jars full of bud from 4 plants.

This was even with a huge root aphid infestation all the way through.

Topped for 4 main colas.

My mom has been supercropped a ton, and loves it.

From freaking bad to worse. Third pheno which has a great indica growth pattern....didnt hermi 'as much' (only few nanners) but the product was total crap. Plants grew massive great looking tops...everything looked awesome, then did the cut and usual dry out (like Ive done a million times before) and the stuff has absolutly no flavor at all. No smell either...its like if cardboard was a nugget this would be it.....
Dont even try to give me the it needs to cure or anything liek that, this stuff is devoid of any charecter at all and no cure is going to change that. Shame cause the weight was great (almost 4zs each). Naturally the normal strains I had going on the side with it turned out full heady.

Never ever ever going near Reserva gear again, probably not DNA either just by association. This stuff should not be on the market at ALL.

Id put my costs on Sour Kush debacle at around 10,000$ for the year, not including wasting my time which is worth alot to me...

Thank god subcools got his shit together or I would have wasted half a fucking year raising nothing but bullshit.

Id cut my loses and just toss um out. Loss some time prepping the next load but its so not worth dealing with the headaches this shit has given me.
Practicaly ruined my summer.

I feel your pain i really do but i have to be fair the sourkush i grew was as tasty as it gets the only thing to let it down was the yield which on the heaviest was about 2 and a quarter O

i put my last seed in flower today, of course i took clones. but i got the super funky pheno again. the one i think smells like an armpit. but it does hermie a lil.

I also bought this strain as I was always hoping for it to come out in seeds rather than clones only. I am currently in my 6th week of flower and have the stretchy pheno, I am very aware of the hermaphrodite issue and so am checking daily for bananas, hoping that she will show them at least a bit later so my early finishing hashplant wont be pollinated. You know the chance of a hermaphrodite with feminized seeds is about 5%, but from all the grow reports I read reserva privada has managed to revert the ratios making it 95% chance. I was fooled into buying this strain as I thought to myself that Reserva Privada is an elite breeder hence I should expect primo bud, but, generally, the opposite seems to be holding true. So far no nanners, only small buds (seems like a low yielder) and no smell at all, but that I like to judge after curing has finished. I dont know if reserva was trying to make a quick buck by not further stabilizing this strain, but they have lost a lot of trust and customers by this bad publicity.
