Ok so I'm on my second run of power nap by sincity seeds. 1st run hermied on me big time. Never noticed Til it was dry. Some of the bud were literally full of seeds. Never had a plant hermie like that on me in 4 years. I also had 3 other strains running next to it which had no problems. I'm on a cycle and had already started vegging some more powernap before the hermied ones were finished. Now 4 weeks into flower and they have hermied again. Will not bein running them again. Just thought I'd share this incase ne1 else was thinking of givin them a go

Curious when you say you vegged more, you mean more from seed? or clone? If the smoke is worth it try clones if you haven't.

I read a lot about Sin City gear herming, gotta be the Blue Power male. They should find a new stud, you can find hermie reports on virtually everystrain they have BUT folks say they are fire none the less and picked off male parts shouldn't come back. Clone runs should be Richard free.

all were started from feminised seed mate. I've probly done over 50 strains from different seed company's and never had Nethin like this. Don't get me wrong I've found a few seeds here and there over the years but never nethin like that. I don't smoke but they were still sense an frosty as fuck just a shame bout the hermie issue

Always look for balls when starting from seed. You got lucky, if you didn't do that with those other 50 strains. All it takes is one hermie, to seed a whole crop.

I had dutch passion's blueberry right next critical jack herer, pineapple chunk and power kush and I stressed the blueberry enough it had full blown hermies but none of the other plants hermied, it happens. Doesn't mean dutch passion or their blueberry is hermie prone gear, just doesn't like stress.

FWIW, power nap is blue power female hit by whitenightmare father.

I run SinCity gear and I had a couple sacks on my first test grow because of high heat not full blown herms. They were very low on the plant to. On clone runs now and not a single sack. On new set of testers right now Silverback Jack(GG#4 x SourJack) 5 phenos and not a single sack or nanner. They've had some problems with some fems herming but any fems can have that problem. Couple strains are a lil prone to herm cus it's the genetics GSC crosses can and Agent Orange crosses can. Powernap has a Blue Power mom not dad so I know for a fact it's not the Blue Power stud. If yall wanna see true SinCity results go to their forum homeofthedank.com I'm over there too and can't point anybody around.

Everyone acts like every single strain from them gives full blown herms and it's not the case at all. People still fail to realize this trait is in all cannabis and with so many factors that can make a plant herm islets hard to tell what may have done it especially from seed. Yes I test for them and yes I said I know they have had some stuff herm but I've seen reports on some of the best breeders out there have herm traits show. All their gear is not hermie prone if it was I damn sure wouldn't be running and testing multiple strains of their gear.

Very true my friend I ran their blue power and sin valley og last time now I started their sin mint cookies had no herm issues untill the heat wave at the end of flower stressed them out a but and all the sacks were low only got maybe 5 to 10 seeds out of my whole crop I thought it was my error not the gear the flowers came out frosty, tasty, dense, so I was happy with their gear just watch those temps and lockouts different stresses can be the culprit ✌

Here's the Powernap Fems test journal. The person testing has been testing for SinCity for years and he's a lazy style grower. FFOF straight out the bag nothing but water all the way to finish. Nothing added or anything very lazy style and he didn't get not a single herm and they experienced some stress throughout too. Most of the time it's the grower or conditions or being pushed too hard with nutes, aggressive training, not enough light etc. Yes genetics play major role too but not saying anybody is a bad grower here or anything like that I'm just saying. Here's the link to the test journal

Glad somebody can give true reports. I'm not saying their gear can't herm but I don't like people like Jessica D saying their out here selling herm gear cuz that's not the case. I don't like herm gear either so I damn sure wouldn't be growing their stuff if it was like how people try to make it seem. I just try to give out accurate info when I can I'm not biased as I don't grow only SinCity and I'm not a dickrider or anything like that. Anyone who knows me on here knows that so I'm just trying to give the right info

yeah sin is a good breeder man maybe some wouldn't say so but some of their crosses I've seen grown very well especially descended from the blue power real amazing genes there made bubble hash from it my friends were begging me for more over their shatter from local shops :) I think that says a lot for the strains overall potency and trichome production especially was like it snowed in my tent haha

That's how it's looking right now on the SinCity strains I'm running all frosty. I'm having trouble from this Silverback Jack on which one will be the best as they're all stupid frosty for 40 days!!! I'm not biased but I love Sins gear and I love other breeders too. I've got a nice collection found where I'm gonna see who's doing good work and who's not. I'm gonna always grow Sins gear tho
