Well I just bought a pack of their GSC, now I'm paranoid - funny how contagious that shit is, lol. Well I've had many years xp and have had some herm issues over those year, but almost all but two were due to some stress that I know I caused, whereas the two exceptions I could pretty much swear where genetics related.
The last one was a couple of years back, had a full grow room, 24-25 girls, 4 different strains - can't fucking remember the strain at the mo, but pretty sure the breeder of that hermie-prone strain was Green House Seeds. About 3-4 weeks into flower, 4 out of 6 of that particular strain decided to grow some serious ballz, nuts sacks were popping out all over the damn place.
I remember it because at the time things were a pretty tight financially, work was slow so I had more time than money and couldn't afford to lose any of the harvest. So a bit desperate, I just sat down and started to pick off every nanner by hand, and I'd never actually done this before, in the past if a plant hermed I just yanked it immediately figuring it was too much of a risk.
And it was just in the nick of time too, some were already getting ready to pop and were full of pollen. Now not wanting ANY of that jizz to escape into the air, I decided the quickest/safest way to dispose of them was to eat them.
So that's what I did, carefully pinched off each and every one, quickly stuck them in my mouth, and then sucked my fingers clean, picked another one, rinse and repeat, lol. That took me at least couple of hours of intensive labor inspecting every nook and branch (and these weren't small plants, they were probably between 3'-4' tall and bushy).
Must have been around a couple of hundred of the little fuckers, but I got every one. Came back the next day and did the same thing but only found a few left, and the third day didn't find any, and turns out I actually got them all because after the chop, I couldn't find a single seed anywhere (might have been some but never heard anything back from my friends ;?). That was my Battle of the Ballz, and if I never have to do that again it will be too soon, lol.
