Gorilla Bubble from Tonygreens Tortured Beans

Yep, you got it thats the best line to find em bx1f1, the bx's will have them as well, maybe 2 out of ten for the sour b leaners.

Well Tony I see you took some of my advise! Except 1 thing. Where's the giant protruding nipple's. Looks good though bro!!

No way dude!! That looks like Justin Bieber trying to look cool . The pic does look better then him though but !!!
I suggest replacing Justin with some super sexy hot big breasted chic with large nips protruding out from a super skimpy tight leather outfit with a whip in one hand and a giant blunt in the other.

My cash arrived today to GLG I'm pumped to get the bx2 thx again tonygreen. I'm gonna document the grow on Instagram. the_kootenays_bc is my name on there if u wanna check it out. Your top notch brotha

So I popped 4 seeds, 2 male and 2 female. One is tall and lanky and one is short and bushy. They both are getting frosty after only a week or so in flower. That's the good news.
The bad... Male flowers on both. It seems like they are on each node, a flower or small cluster of them. I really don't want that in my room. I just killed off Blue Dream due to the same situation.
I have 2 more in veg and about 7 seeds left. Should I just keep looking for a keeper, or is this a trait that is what it is with Gorilla Bubble?
I also have a KQR in flower that is huge and looks like a nice producer. No visible trichs yet, but a nice looking plant so far.

If they were my plants I'd get rid of the gender benders.
I've tried plucking them, only to have them come back as soon as I turned my back and start fertilizing the other ladies.

Which generation of the Gorilla Bubble are you growing?
I've done bx1 and bx2. I did have 1 bx2 that had a few pistils and then reversed to mostly male mode, that I attributed to a small light leak. There was also another herm next to her from a 501st og.
Maybe, it was grower error on my part or maybe, it was genetic?
I was able to produce a nice little crop from the keepers that were left over with zero late flowering bananers.

Thanks for the reply. These are x2's and yea, I spent some time this morning plucking the fuckers. I know in my case it's not a grower error type thing since I have other strains in the room that have never chucked male appendages.

So, I guess I am looking for feedback from growers like yourself- did anyone have hermie problems with the x2's? And if so, is there a possibility that one of the other seeds won't have this trait, or is something inherent to this strain?

I read in previous posts here about it a little, but there were no particulars, mostly looked like a fight brewing or something, LOL. I don't want to be negative or start a fight, but I will say I'm pretty disappointed in this development. I was psyched for this strain to be a keeper, most are not, LOL.

I come to expect that a female seed "might" shows hermie a bit, like the Blue Dream I had. I get that, but in regular seeds, it just seems like it shouldn't happen. I've grown dozens upon dozens of strains over the past 20 years and most never threw male flowers- especially right away. I know it is a mechanism in late flower for survival, but after a week?

I guess I keep looking for a keeper for now, but I am hesitant to grow out the clones I took from these two plants...

Pluck it and keep trucking... I wouldn't breed to it but may have some nasty nice flowers... Just my two cents

I popped the whole pack of bx2 and ended up with around 5 or 6 females that were all great!
My bx1 pack had a very high male to female ratio, but the females I grew were also top shelf.

The overall intersex rate has been less than 5%.
GG4 was made from an intersex plant.
Popping 2 or 3 seeds and calling it a day is silly in any line.
Most packs always have some overfill to help out.
If you go back and count any reports of intersex from growers around the world in many different environments I bet it would be around roughly 10 people in 4 years.
The shit is fire but it still takes a little effort. There is a true keeper in every pack, I can't guarantee every bean is one, yet.

@tonygreen go on Instagram brotha. I wanna ask you a few questions.

Preach brotha. Any og kush hybrids for instance you always get a couple herms in 10-15 seeds you run. Anyone that don't know that we'll I just don't know what to say. It's common knowledge for those that grow.

Your line is not shit, I'll grow your Gorilla Bubble any time, because I haven't found any better in a seed.

How many legendary strains came from some magical hermies bagseed? The entire Chem family originated from bagseed, it's no wonder that Gorilla Glue sprung from that very family.

Lots of people buy into the hype, mystery and intrigue, that many breeders spin into their strains.
These people can't handle the open source grass roots way you show your work.
Your the only breeder I know of that is actively involved in these forums, and not just here, but on many others.

I have 1 female 10 days in and looking good, the other one... well he's gone I still have 6 more in veg. I was going to wait until I returned from Opening day in St. Louis and run them all together but I just couldn't wait. What this about a shit line??? after thinking about it Tony they may be right because I'm going to run the SHIT out of this line so keep up the good work. 5% I'll take that all day hell I'll take them 7 beans and run the SHIT out of them too. On the real I would pop them 7 and find a really nice keeper or 2. All the time I would keep in mind that it's a GG4 cross and it will happen from time to time (what?) SHIT

I have had a couple herms in Bodhi stuff, maybe three in the last few weeks. I will still run Bodhi in the future.

I germed 4 GBx2 and had 4 males. I will germ more before summer.

I've had hermies from time to time over time but also accept the fact that some lines are the work of hermies in the past. We may or may not be aware of that heritage. With several of the elite lines, we know they are the self-love offspring of a famous plant.

I also Grow some stock from very long worked stable IBLs and they do very well in the hermiless category. This is the goal that Tony is working for. I,m in!

Weird...
