No I brushed a branch of Cher with a branch of my male DQ as his pods were open & covered the rest of the plant with a plastic bag then prayed down with water after pollinating
Thanks

good stuff. pollen is amazing. i had some guys running a room and they missed a male. just a tiny bit of pollen got released early and we ended up with hundreds of seeds. b.o.g. bmr male to pandoras box. crazy seeds with a blue hue! sorry for the rant.

No need to apologise. This plush berry just must be a genetic herm sadly. It's spitting out nanners like its gonna feed a pack of starving monkeys. It showed such promise too!.
I'll run 1 more of the clones, just so I'm sure. and she's at 56 days so it's not like It's gonna be a total waste. The upper buds are amazing, but the lowers aren't filled in well. There was a lot of stress present in the grow, and it seems as if the borg are back (Mites). I don't want to use chemicals so I'm going to let the PB finish and the chernobyl in there finish as well, if that 2nd chernobyl gets a bit of pollen on it, oh well.
Then I'm gonna give the room a really great cleaning, bug bomb it, then improve the venting slightly. I'm still going to update with pics till then, it's just that I'm not going to put anything new in flower. I think I'm also going to quit running a perpetual, just run a few plants at once, that way if something herms I dont have such a disaster on hand.
On a brighter note, the two remaining plush berry seeds I have germed successfully and are already sticking out of their rapid rooter plugs.
Finally chopped the lowers on the chernobyl and will trim it up. I think I got a pretty good yield off her and MAN she smells beautiful.

Dorry to hear about your hermies & I can only add it may be stress and or conditions for I have run more than a few of Sub's strains including PB and have had zero hermies from any of his strains, grown both in & outside
I know he does a lot of testing before anything goes public for that reason
It could be the cut you have
Hope this helps

Yeah, I'm thinking its the cut. I don't think it's the room, the room is light tight and I'm running the air so it should be fairly constant temp. The nobyl stopped making nanners so I'm assuming that was simply stress. Not a single seed and it turned out beautifully. I'm not unwilling to blame myself.,I sat in the room in the dark last night to verify there were no light leaks.
However on previous grows I never had a herm like this plush. Like I said tho, it happens. Chernobyl #2 has shown zero signs, but thats why I'm running #1 again. So I can be sure now that the light leak is fixed. I also add that I didnt see a single nanner till the ppms went way too high. I'm gonna run them again to be sure it wasn't me screwing up
Edit: I'll be damned, just looked at the plush under the scope, look about 80% Cloudy 20% clear... and the edges of the leaves are purpling up... I wish I could run her 10 more days.

Broke my heart but I chopped her. The Tops are fantastic big well developed buds. The unders will make good hash/butter. Not too worried about it.

Just dropped in to say WHAT a Great grow you have.....hats of to DaGrapeApe

TGA gear is some of the best around, it just has hermie issues is all. You have to buy a few packs (which isn't a big deal-only a noob expects to find a great keeper in one seed) and cull out the hermie traits. I hope no one thinks I'm trolling...I've been subbed to this thread and have been lurking for a while. I love this grow, and I love Space Bomb and TGA.

And on that note I found my first nanner on my PB this morning. Three actually. The smaller dready pheno doesn't have any. This has been a fairly stress free grow so who knows......No worries though. I'll let her go a few more days then chop chop! She is going to be a sweet smoke. Can't wait. I was getting antsy anyway!

This plush berry pheno is beautiful except the the nanners. Anyone have any experience with dutch master reverse? I'm really tempted to keep it just because of the great yield/smell.

Its what they use on Watermelons to make them seedless. Supposedly it can prevent herms.

Will do! Thanks for the info sub. This girl must just be a genetic herm, when I was trimming I probably found 40-50 nanners that were small. Fortunately not a single seed in my room. Lucked out on that one! These buds, nanners aside are really nice sized and incredibly sticky. I popped the last 2 of my PB beans earlier this week. Wish me luck!

That explains the no seeds!
Welp! 2 more are in the seedling stage and have their first true leaves now, Hopefully I get a couple more girls!
