Maverick & Knight Rider for $51 & I pulled the trigger early just for the extra 2x nuggets now I have a $75 off coupon off I keep sniping away to gold tier.

Gu doesn't have deals? :rolleyes: Since Nov of last year I have spent $503 on 10 packs so that's $50 & some change per pack. When I get the space I'm going to defiantly throw down some of my GPS beans.

I have a friend who has started some Golden Nuggets that I gave them. I told him to make sure they have a good carbon filter, last time I grew a Golden Goat cross it had really strong skunk, burnt tire, lemon zest smell. I'm looking for her again lol!!

That sounds like one hell of an amazing plant.

It was Mr Danks Golden Ticket from Archive, out of 7 different pheno's that one was strongest smelling strain I've ran. I don't know if it was the faceoff OG that gave it that extra kick to it but I bet the Stardawg goes very well with the GG. I'm going to pick up another pack or two just to hunt for something similar.

Are you going to say "you don't control me! I grow what I want!" when you throw them down?

Always have that's why I missed out on the cookie & OG craze in past, because I was growing sativas. Now that I've had a taste of both I'll take OG all day over cookies.

In saying that I may throw down the Maverick or Copper Chem. Leaning toward the Maverick because I'm favoring OG's a bit more over Chems. Although I know Goji isn't the typical OG that's what's making me want to grow it.

I'm gonna research and purposely buy one of these so called "hermie" strains, to see what the heck everybodies talking about.
From a horticultural and scientific standpoint this is effin ridiculous.
The plant Herms as a defense mechanism if it thinks it won't survive long enough to finish or won't get pollinated.
My garden is old school and I don't coddle my plants. I'm rough on em from seed to bud. Only herms I've gotten is from a temperature dip below 40°f.
Maybe just maybe were being too nice to the plant and making it weak and spoiled from the start. Ill take the hit and experiment on em.

I don't really know shit about breeding but the way I understand it is before man began altering wild cannabis genetics, natural selection occurred and it was "survival of the FITTEST". Now, man takes the seeds from the wild and begins to breed with the most terpene, most trichome, and/or most THC producing plants (things that won't really help the plant in nature) and traits/genes that once made plants strong and consistent, are now recessive and no longer expressed in the phenotypes we like.

Now this is where "stabilized" genetics come in. All plants can herm. It's how little or how much stress it takes to induce this that makes it hermie prone or not. I would asume that a "hermie prone" plant would just simply require a particular environment or they react to stress from one condition or another they deem unsuitable.

I just had an air pump die and it took me like 2-3 days to figure it out. I had gu's moondance and DVG gorilla grapes affected. Moondance was fine while the gg turned yellowish and threw some male parts. I feel this is a good example of what I'm talking about. Same conditions, two plants, one stresses and one doesn't. Ones more "hermie prone" than the other.. :joint:

Yes, selective breeding only lessens the tendency to hermie. It will always be there.
Cannot be eliminated only controlled.

I see em as difficult to grow plants.
you can dial in to Keep em happy with your environment.but they are avoided due to the extra effort needed.
Not many have the time or patience to coddle a fussy plant. Totally understandable.

Good hunting
