That's awesome dude, I was looking at that bubblegummer looks amazing, lol. Ya my OG kush is a short stout almost as pure indic a looking plant i have grown, i have one clone that has been in the cloner for 2 weeks now and now roots im having faith to keep these genetics going.
Im going to plant some gum seeds and grape kush also, here pretty soon maybe in a week or two.

Yeah I am excited abotu that bubblegummer too! I just took down my Cateract kush and found some dried up bananas on the bitch! I am having a bad hermi problem with these fem beans! I wish I would have found out that shit before I spent $110 bucks on some more RP seeds. If I want hermie's ill just go to Nirvana and get beans for a third of the price.

Yeah I am really scratching my head on this. It doesn't seem like I am doing anything wrong. My grow rooms are good to go also no light leaks or anything like that. I am going to read up on this hermi thing and go over my rooms again to tripple check. What really pisses me off is people doing all the wrong things and they don't get hemies! LOL No worries though I am going to try to make sure the hermie problem isn't anything that I am doing, then from there find a good seed breeder and stick with them!

Yeah bro I slept on it and it really isn't worth getting pissed about! It is what it is and there isn't shit I can do about it now but move on and try to prevent the problem from happening again! But it does suck when you don't know what caused the problem for sure! No worries though, adapt and overcome!

Exactly brotha, i have done quite a bit of reading also on other people fourms and any guys that have a bigger operation swear against Fem. seeds, due to there hermie tendency, b/c really if someone uses the stress of a female to hermie to collect fem. pollen and give to females for seeds, what makes you so sure it didnt always carry that hermie trait and just hermie due to its natural tenedencies, making seeds from a stressed hermie is how they get fem. seeds, but making seeds with a hermie that actually is one genetically, than that would caused fem. hermie seeds if im correct.
so i think im going to stay away for now but if i find a good fem. that doesnt hermie i will keep it around for sure lol

Yeah I will stick to Nirvana fem beans for now because I know how the bubbleicious hermie's. It will grow some pollen bananas on the buds themselves. I just picked some off my flowering ones this morning. I hate the ones that are sneaky about it though. And I am not even going to write to Reserva Pravada about this! I know what they will say! LOL No worries though I am also growing out some Sannies seeds fem so we will see if those hermie on me. Like I said I am going to just try to find a good breeder and stick with them. I also heard from a guy that breeds plants that Greenhouse beans off the tude are supposed to be good beans so maybe try them out. I am with you though I think with the plats I have now i will just clone before flower and if they herm kill the clones and start some beans! That way I can weed out the hermie's and not have to worry about this shit.
Oh and how far down the line of clones do you think I can go? What I mean is clone off clone off clone going down the line. I think I am good for cloneing four to five times before the weed starts to degrade? Or maybe I can just keep on going? I don't really have the space for a mother room, just a thought though. Maybe I will just do my own test, the bubbas I have now are 3 generations of clones right now and I don't see much wrong with them at all!
Oh and my KF beans one of them is a male. I am wondering if the other is female if I should just put them in the CFL room and make some beans with them? Still thinking about it right now.

I think you can take clones from clones like into the hundreds or thousands before you run into problems.

Yeah that is what my hydro guy says but I will have to see. If that is the case as soon as I get a good viable female I will just keep three or four of them around and just clone them right before I flower. Fuck all this hermie shit! LOL

Ya dude i know what you mean, if you got a male though I sure u can setup a cheap cfl lights to run it thru to collect some pollen and dust a branch or to what would it hurt lol, but ya and the clone thing is a myth about have how many times to cut u can clone from clones from clones, just take a cutting use it as a mother once it out grows your room take a clone to replace I and trash the big one, I know guys who have rn the same cut for 20 yrs.

Yeah I was reading up about it and saw your post in there! I was laughing. that is my plan now is to get some good cloneable strains and just keep moving them through the rooms. I wish I had kept a clone off the bubba that I have now in my rooms that isn't a hermie but oh well I have two from seed that I need to flower out.

Ya lol, well so i just went out there today and checked on them and my banana kush looks like it might be a hermie also, lol.
There only about 2 weeks and 2 days into flowering so there just starting to do pre-flowers but what has hairs all over it but on a couple branches on one side of the plant, on the lower parts have like half hairs and half sacs (maybe) could be hairs that havent pushed threw yet but i open a couple up and looks like a male part with like 3 or 4 pods inside but i dont know, lol. to soon to tell i think.
Im going to be pissed if it hermie's that was the one plant i wanted not to be hermie and keep the strain going im pissed off, lol.
Im going to write a fucking sond called the hermie blues......

I am going to pick some of this up next time I am at the hydro store. Last time I was there a guy was in there and he swore by it.
http://www.dutchmaster.com.au/?language=english&page=product&product=REVERSE
You get the reverse and another wetting agent from Dutchmasters and spray that shit on your plants. The guy swore by it so maybe it's worth a try.
One question that I thought of when I was high last night! What if you have a hermie and you spray it with reverse and it works, will the clones off that plant be hermie or not? I thought about that for a lil while last night all blazed up! I hope you don't have a hermie brotha!

Ya it would hermie if it was a genetic hermie you took the clones from, but the reverse product i think might only work on stressed hermies so i have no clue.
I need to do some research...also recently my g/f bought a chocalate heart filled with kronic carmel, and i only ate the carmel, lol. i hate choclate, also pretty empty stomach i need to eat i think this is going to be powerful lool.

good for you bro happy Valentines day! LOL Yeah I am going to get that Reverse shit cus it says you can even use it as a preventitive. So I am just going to spray my plants all the time with it when I throw them into flower. I get the two bottles that you need for $48 so that isn't a bad idea to use it every move to flower. It would be once a month and I am sure the bottle will do it for two crops so $22 per crop of six plants to prevent them from hermie doesn't sound like a bad deal! Worth a try at least.
Just threw up some Mylar in my Veg room!
Looks good in there. I put Duct tape tabs on there then punched some staples through the duct tape. The tape kina acts like a washer that you would put on a screw. It prevents the mylar from ripping around the staple. I have to wait till I chop my four bubbas then I will do it to middle flower room.

Right on brotha ya mylar is the bomb, very smart about the duct tape it works well sometime to well, lol if u misplace and staple than it tears the mylar around the tape lol
Ya im thinking about buying it and the more i think about it the banana kush might get cut tonight, also i was wierd i found 1 leaf on a single plant it was deep inside the bush at the base of them stem and it was a very small leaf but the underside had white fuzz, so what i think might be powdery mildew, well i removed the leaf and surrounding leafs and turned my 2 fans in there on high, they were on low but we will see what it was or if it was nothing, first time i have seen it and has never been a problem before, and i also have much increased airflow than previous grows so it mind boggling to me.

That shit sucks! I think we may have to stop talking to eachother! LOL you are having all the same problems I am having! I just found some balls on my Cat Kush clones. 25 days into flower and the big one has balls starting to grow. I am on the fence on what to do with all three....... I put up the question in WBW forum due to all the Mr. Ganja's in there on what they would do.
