Feminized Seeds Hermie Test - 14 strains, which are high risk; frequency; DM Reverse;

I agree 100% chemdawg, Dr Greenthumb is one of my favorite breeders. I'm not suprised that his fem seeds are stable.

What Greenthumb strains have you grown? Which are the more potent? If you've done Cheese S1 could you describe the high, compare it to another cheese cross if you've grown one please and thank you.

Who can afford the time, never mind the money, of messing with questionable genetics?

Truer words were never said.

i always notice true hermies either when they show presex or in the first few weeks i really dont understand the problems people have i have grown seeds from herm grows and get perfect fems. i think grower conditions are often the cause of issues or i simply have been lucky.

maybe a combination of both Lucky and Conditions... i have 4 fem seeds I started 4 1/2 weeks ago.. and started flowering last monday.. so far all are Females so signs of hermies Yet "Knock on wood"

cool good luck. me i actually look for seeded og kush and other good strains from dispensaries and grow the seeds for bud to smoke (not for breeding) so far i have only gotten pure females go figure i guess whoever hermed them fucked up badly. which makes me wonder how hard most breeders try to make stable fems.

"tarted flowering last monday.. so far all are Females so signs of hermies Yet "Knock on wood"

The three fem strains that hermied on me started to show bananas about 4 weeks into flower - they started growing out of the bud pods (seed pods I guess, with no seeds in them). Very likely you'll get no hermies though, I can't see the seeds being bad with all the breeders (or strains for each breeder). I got hermies from Dutch Passion Blueberry and Strawberry Cough but their Taiga fem is a week or two from finish and not a hint of a banana.

.

"so far i have only gotten pure females go figure i guess whoever hermed them fucked up badly."

I wonder that with my fem hermies - am I stressing the garden enough to hermie less stable genetics but not the control stains. Would a better grower be able to grow the same seeds and not get hermies?

I've kept a mother for the Red Diesel that hermied so bad on me twice. When I've got room in the garden I'll run two clones side by side - one with Reverse from the start of flower and the other without. Get a little better idea of how unstable it is.

.

I harvested the feminized Red Diesel clone Saturday - 18" and I speculate a bit over an ounce when dry. Not a single banana anywhere on the clone throughout flower, the plant finished earlier than the mother and other clone that hermied. I baked a few nugs and there's a bit of a high already, but it's a bit harsh before the cure.

I've done nothing different than last time except the 3 treatments of Reverse in the first two weeks of flower. Seems we have a strategy for preventing hermie clones from a known unstable mother - like a vaccination - but still no clear cure once the plant has started to hermie.

I'm going to run 2 more Red Diesel clones: one with the 3 treatments of Reverse in the first two weeks; one without. I'll grow them like all the other plants in the flower room to see if either hermies, and try some Reverse if one does. Small clones, 8-12".

.

The Taiga is finishing beautifully, almost all the pistols are reddish brown and a few tricomes are turning cloudy. If all fems could be like this that's all I'd grow. I want to start another feminized strain but my garden is going to be overflowing with Subcool and Rez's strains in a few weeks so I'm going to hold off for a couple of months. I may start Blue Moonshine, Trainwreck or White Widow and keep the mother in the veg room and put out an 8" clone along side the Red Diesel clone.

.

well im going to be putting some strains outdoor soon its very hot and conditions will be far from perfect. one strain is og kush grown from seeds from a grow that hermed they were given to me well see what they do. did not want to infer everyones making herms through there own errors but in some cases thats i think what happens.

so hobbes im guessing its more than worth it to just get the regular red diesel for 15 odd dollars more if i were wanting to try it out?

Absolutely CC, The Red Diesel fem seed mother and clone I got hermied when all the other strains in the garden were fine. I treated them both with Reverse after they stated showing bananas but both kept producing bananas to the end. It's going to be interesting to see how potent this strain is. The taste is nice but not a pronounced Red Grape taste. No Diesel taste at all.

Are you set on Red Diesel or would you just like a good Diesel strain? Check out Elite, great prices and fantastic beans.

"did not want to infer everyones making herms through there own errors but in some cases thats i think what happens."

I always wonder if someone came into my garden would they immediately say "WTF are you doing there? That's what's causing the hermies."

I think my garden is fairly low stress but I keep checking the web to see what I could be doing wrong. My next step is to put an RO system in.

Dr.Greenthumb fems I have grown are
Endless Sky
Chemdawg Kush
747
OG Kush
Original Cheese
Bubba Kush
Fire Hydrant
There all potent just different. I tried the Cheese crosses in the Dam but I think Docs Original Cheese was the best of the lot. Right now I have Greenthumbs version of C99 going and she is beautiful.

Thanks Chemdawg, I've been wondering about his Cheese S1 - how much better it is than the crosses other breeders are selling. Endless Sky and Cheese S1 are the two Doc strains I want to grow most. Maybe Jazz.

They were all good but the Original Cheese was the best tasting and if i'm going to grow a fem I'm not risking the other banks

The only fem I have left flowering is Taiga, Dutch Passion at about 11 weeks. It's an autoflowering Power Plant cross. It's in the early stages of it's harvest window, a few trichomes are turning amber, more cloudy, still mostly clear.

There were a couple of bananas last night but I think they were late flower bananas - Dutch Passion says 8 - 10 weeks and I'm at 11. Excellent strain for stability.

I've got 14 Subcool and Rez seedlings in veg, in 3 or 4 weeks I'll germinate another feminized seed. My remaining feminized inventory is:

Alaskan Ice - Greenhouse
Arjan's Haze #3 - Greenhouse
Blue Moonshine - Dutch Passion
Big Bang - Greenhouse
Cheese - Big Bhudda
Jack Flash #5 - Sensi
Super Silver Haze - Greenhouse
TrainWreck - Greenhouse
White Widow - Seedsman

I'd like something < 10 week flower and potent or cheesy.

I'd also like to avoid a hermie this time around, I'd love to do Blue Moonshine but Dutch Passion has let me down twice (Blueberry and Strawberry Cough), not bad hermies but crap bud. And come through once with a perfect grow. What do you guys think?

.

The Green House has been solid for me. Ending week 6 of flower here and still no banannas. All are looking and smelling great too.

I looked in Newbie Central on the page for key terms having to do with marijuana.
What are bananas?

bananas are what a male flower looks like in a female bud. It will usually be yellow and look like a banana. Here are a few pics.

Great pics Nick, perfect size and quality to see the bananas coming out of the bud.

Drewbert and anyone else that have questions please ask, this isn't one of those "You should have searched the forum first" threads.

Wow thanks a lot man. Those pics help big time, I had a guess but it's always good to know for sure. Anyways, thanks again for helping me out.
