Sure, stress causes hermies and as a grower I do take some responsibility. But if it were 90% grower error, then 90% of that grower's plants should hermie. I used to think it was my fault--and some of it probably is--but I am beginning to lean more towards plants having the genetic tendency to herm.

I was particularly surprised that the hermie bag seeds (2 Nameless Genetics Mega Wellness and 2 Grease OG) didn't hermie. Well, 1 out of 4 did but 3/4 didn't. Those plants have the hermie trait, but most didn't hermie. So not the environment?

A Sundance Kid was trouble in the tent last grow and hermied 3 dozen ball sacks up and down the plant. Seeded everything. But I liked the smell and growth pattern of the plant, and wanted to try and see if I could fix the hermie trait. So I cloned it. The clone looked totally healthy and no herms. Then at day 23 of flower, I defoliated and trimmed the bottom 1/3 of the plant. Like normal. 4 days later the clone dropped balls. All the other plants got the same treatment and none hermied. If normal defoliation is enough to trigger a plant to hermie, it seems like the issue is genetic.

And the plants look completely healthy aside from the hermie's. No wilting, or bugs, or lockout problems. Most don't even have burnt tips on the leaves.

As far as grower responsibility that's why I am trying to figure out what exactly is causing the herms, and fix it. My best guess is the fan--I haven't really seen anyone else using an upright fan in a grow tent. The plants closer to the fan seem to herm harder. But with that said, Breakout from Norstar was next to the fan and it didn't herm at all. So genetic tendency to herm + minor stress = hermie city?

I'm not saying hermies don't come from genetic make up of plant.. they do. Certain plant like cookies can hermie even under perfect conditions when grown from seed. But will also hermie much easier than other plants, so any slight error bam ball/nana party.
Sundance is derived from gsc. You should try something more stable like bodega.

Question is your tent inside a dark room? Tents are not 100% lightproof so you should have zero lights on outside of tent when dark period is happening.

people have found some nice plants, but as @quiescent said, there don't seem to be a lot of glue leaners showing up. i went 4/4 males on the ones i flowered so i can't offer personal results, only what i've seen from others.

Not gonna be a disappointment at all. It's the nature of gorilla glue and most polyhybrid clone only plants to not find anything exactly like the clone. You'll find everything possible in the genetic pool since its not a worked line.

If anybody is on the fence with golden nugget i say go for it.

Week 6 tomorrow and these girls are blowing me away. I got 5 females and all of them are special.

Probably go 10-12 weeks at a guess.

Terps that i cant even describe. Only 1 of the 5 has a noticable chem stench the rest just have variations of soda factory and fuel.

This pheno is my favourite. It doesnt look as good in pics but its caked in resin and the smell... oh man the smell its like mangos and lemon and berries soaked in fuel. So hard to explain but i think this is going to be incredible smoke.

I grew 2 small ones this year that were almost Identical in every way. Stoniest shit out of all the GP strains I grew, and I'm happy with all of them. Trippy kinda weed very potent....I like it a lot. Man you just described the flavors to a T, for the life of me I haven't been able to nail all of the smells.
Yours look way better than mine did, really nice super frosty. Your gonna enjoy them for sure.

I actually loved the way yours looked. It was part of the reason i was excited for these. And yeah the smell is super hard to pin down. It is really nice though

I will be testing your theory on light leaks soon.
My grow space has lots of them and it hasn't been a problem -- but I've never grown a cookie strain.
Today I'm going to cull males & repot the girls into 3 gallon bags.
