Thanks good to know.

I don't particularly trust the mirror test to be honest, it's my suspicion that it's too subjective, and we're dealing with such minute quantities of impurities.... will spraying it onto a mirror really show the difference between say < 50ppm vs. > 100 ppm? I don't think so, but I can be wrong...

Hello all. I recently got some free cans of Stok butane (UK brand) from a botched order. Haven't tried it yet, but the label says 99.995% pure, which would equate to 50ppm of impurities. I believe I read the best English brands were 30ppm? At this trace level, it's more about flavor than...

youre right i am jealous! lol. And on a side note, in my experience i've also had a couple hermies myself.... ive found that if you catch them at an early enough time, and cut off the ENTIRE branch each hermie is on, you can save your plant, and it can still grow into beautiful sensimilla...

Damn, 1/2 the people in here seem more interested in Katie than her grow op. Quit stalkin her, she'll post when she feels like it!

Ive also noticed that when you smoke your fresh harvest to test the buds, and you rush the drying process to just get a taste of your crop, the high is never at the full potential. I always notice that I hardly even get high when I taste my harvest, and of course after you properly dry and cure...

thats so wierd! i had a white widow drying in my closet recently and for like 2-3 days it smelled like barbeque sauce. So damn wierd. Fortuntaetly it went away after I began to cure it, and smells like herb now

the seedlings are tiny. like a fraction of a mm, still fresh and soft and green.

PlatinumKasse.... yea, the plants were not pollinated, i accidentally light and heat stressed them in the vegging stage. prolly hermie because of that. but i havent intentionally been leaving the hermies to mature next to the females. in fact, i already trashed 2 plants earlier on because...

Hey all, I had a question about calyxes in regards to hermaphrodites. I'm almost 7.5 weeks into flowering, close to harvest. But when I look at the tear-drop calyxes, which have swollen a whole lot, I see like a white streak on it, like it's about to split open. So I pick a calyx off, and...

Hey all, in that last pic of the plant.... does anyone else see those 2 round pods right underneath the top cola of the plant? Does anyone else think those are seeds? Just an observation, don't wanna psyche you out or anything, I could very well be wrong. But it may be possible it's a...

BTW, ill try to get a pic later today and maybe P.M it to some of you later if you want. i wanna be sure this is a hermie before i give it the axe

the best way to describe the hermies is like the female pistil with the 2 hairs sticking out, except the hermies tear-shaped pistils are starting to split open like a peapod. showing through is a bit of green immature seed, which i guess from fdd's post is unpollinated.

can you describe this "tiny seed looking bit" a little more? also, all the hairs on my suspected hermie turned orange by week 4, that is definetely not supposed to happen unless the sex is changing right?

yea these seeds are fem w.w. from dutch passion. i guess ill have to chuck the plant, its a damn shame cause the leaves were just starting to get real frosty. i had 7 plants to start with, all 7 were female until this 1 hermie popped up. no other hermies/males as of yet. also, i do know...
