I used to get good results from Pro-Mix actually, especially with a little added perlite. I found it to be cheap and easy and Menard's always has it. Then I decided since it was mostly inert anyway I might as well try something completely inert. So I tried perlite with a little vermiculite, in a recirc drip hempy SOG setup first, because I wanted something clean and simple that I could mostly automate. That worked well, but I moved on to straight perlite (first GPS run soon, hopefully!) because the verm was unnecessary.
You ever try coco?

Ok, so I’ve never had this many nanners before, so forgive me if this is a stupid question...how risky is it to leave it in there with the other 3 plants? I personally don’t give a shit if that one plant self pollinates but would be more on board with culling this plant if it were a big risk of heavily pollinating the other plants. I’ve had one grow where every plant was heavily seeded, but that was from an actual herm with balls. Am I correct in thinking nanners don’t release as much pollen as full on pollen sacs? Or am I just telling myself that to feel better about not wanting to cull this plant?

One viable pollen sac could pollinate tat plant and you’re saying they’re on every cola so I would chop if you have other plants. My B.O.D. went full hermie on me with balls so double check.

Cull that shit......one spent sac will do the whole tent. Save the three.
Crazy how other breeders get destroyed for having a messed up line go out that is unstable.

It's honestly getting stupid how many of GPS fem line has this many herms.
Maybe go back to just doing regs.

Didn't Heisen make a video of himself pissing on one of Gus plants because he sold untested herm crap at one point?

As long as it keeps selling, unstable stuff will continue to be sold. Its just a assembly line, churn it out and sell volume. There is a reason this thread went from the most active on the site to what it is today.

It went that way because Gu is a dummy that made a non growing troll his new breeder. How you let the enemy take over your business is beyond insane. Scratch that not breeder he's more of a copycat hack.

Genetics question please.....so a S1 appears to be a female crossed with a clone of that female that has been forced to a male. What is the correct term for a seed that is acquired from a female plant that throws out maybe 1 male pollen sac that results in s seed or two on the plant? Is it still S1? Is it as desirable or less so than a traditional S1? Thank you for your insight!!!

I just went through the whole plant, along with the other 3, and this one is definitely the only one that has any. None of the plants have pollen sacs, so I'm at least good in that department. This one plant has stamens on the very top cluster of the tallest colas, and each of those seems to have a single cluster of 3-4 stamens, but none of the bud clusters below those have any stamens. All the stamens were still greenish yellow, and none had any pollen on them, so I just went through every cola and was able to pluck each cluster off with some fine tipped tweezers. This plant is easy to access so I'm going to just check on it every day and hope none come back. If they keep coming back then I'm going to cull the plant. I just can't get myself to cull it yet...even though I know I might regret that.

Hermie is what it's called
