All cannabis plants can develop into hermaphrodites given the right conditions. Stress can and does play a factor. You're right that there is a flood of crappy genetics out there but lots of people are growing those crappy genetics and are not getting hermies so it can't just be that.
I've heard bad things about In House but I thought Barneys were pretty reliable?
How are you so sure it's not a light issue? I've tried a variety of different seeds that's what makes me think genetics are unlikely to be the problem.
I agree that the Platinum Gorilla was a risky move especially from In House, but I've tried wedding cake, pineapple chunk, kritical kush and others and they all were female at the start and ended up with seeds in the buds. How can you be so sure its the genetics?
Yeh thats my thinking as well, that colouring is definitely signs of stress. If my understanding is correct then even just 1 plant that has been stressed could produce nanners and pollinate all the others which makes them produce seeds?Stressed plants.
I obsess over it after the last few grows having seeds, everything gets cleaned with diluted h202 and water. All the insides of the tent, fans, equipment etc.
Thanks for the read i'll definitely give it a look. Aside from the stress from the plants being too close to the bulb, do you have any other ideas what could be causing the herms?
Because a plant with stable genetics will not hermie with exposure to too much light; it will simply get burnt/bleached.
In that case what seeds would you recommend? I'd just bought another batch from Barneys Farm: Glookies (Gorilla glue and Girl Scout Cookies) lol from reading these posts im nervous to plant them now... I had genuinely heard that Barneys Farm were a decent breeder.
Check out @JBCSeeds. Nothing but good genetics. Buy American.
Yeah ok thanks for the info. The seeds from the previous grows have been mature seeds and the seeds that are in my current grow look exactly the same. They seem to be popping up everywhere in all the nugs
So annoying what a waste of time and money. I've been looking into Karma Genetics which multiple people have told me are reliable and also going to try reg seeds instead of fems.
What's your choice of seadbanks thundercat
well I havnt ordered seeds in years at this point. When I did I used attitude because at the time it was the easiest place to order from. Ive had good results from the “female seeds” C99 I grew. I had an awesome G13 labs white widow. Ive grown great plants from Sin City seeds, I actually did some testing for them for 2 seasons back in 2013-14ish. I did have some rodelization happen in a few of the Sin City plants but I also got some super dank plants, one platinum delight I kept for 4-5 years. I’ve had some nice plants from Dinafem but nothing I kept long term. Same thing for KCbrains when I first started and needed some cheap seeds to get going.
