I have decided to only ever buy regular seeds for fear of all these hermies everyone is talking about. Hopefully it was just some stray pollen
nah fem seeds are fine , ive used loads and the only herms i had were from a company called c9 or ch9.........ive had herms in reg seeds though.......just a few though.
 
nice plants bro !
i've got one of my own about 1 1/2 months old...under a 12/12 light schedule from a seed
small growth at the base of each set of leaves is appearing , how will i know whether female or male ?

Hes right on dilpickle, never had a herm out of all the fems ive done, but i have had herms with regulars.. the good fem companies are pretty thorough when it comes to not breeding any with herm traits.

I wonder if that means my strain may have hermie traits since it wasnt available in feminized(kali-mist)??

I know you guys are speaking from your own experience but I'm still scared, I may not be so lucky! I guess it would be nice being able to not waste medium/nutes/light/space/time/money on plants that end up just getting tossed though... but I dont want to have to constantly be checking for balls on my plants

If its a little ways in i wouldnt worry too much, and most of the time it may be a nana here or there, or a pollinated bud from one hidden inside... I did get a few other plants pollinated from a buku seed( guess i did have a fem herm on me, but i read other buku doing that) it wasnt a whole box pollination... as long as it doesnt just go unchecked and nanas popping up everywhere it shouldnt do much damage.... plus ive found from forcing herms chemically that not a lot of pollen is really in the sacks, although there is enough in there to play spoiler.

Speaking of seeds that turns out hermies or in general have bad genetics - i ordered 5 Super Bud feminized seeds from Greenhouseseeds, and 3 were hermies, 1 really slow to go into bloom, 1 really tiny,

however since it was my first grow and had no other girls in there i couldnt just kill the hermies... and they turned out to be ok buds anyway, if still a few seeds here and there.

It's like a game I play when I try to situate my plants with the super cropped tops, trying to find space for everyone to bask and not crowd with a level canopy!

just thought of something Del, your getting just under 1gpw but your not vegging at all so in reality your doing better than the numbers show. You do run quite a bit of light in your room though, that light could probably be spread out a bit for a higher GPW, but then you wouldnt get those massive colas your getting. I think you got your thing going on pretty much perfect, do you think theres any room for improvement in your setup?

ive never worked out what i pull per watt because my plants never finish at the same time and if im honest i dont really care.........all i know is im more than happy with both quality and quantity that ive been getting....... i did think about a bigger cab but like you say all that light is what helps make the monsters............improvements?..im putting in another vent and i guess i would make my cab taller and maybe get a bigger ruck fan pulling air through.......
