Accidentally Awesome?

[Urbz]

I had a small, accidental pollination a couple grows ago. Had an NYCD, Banner, and Jillybean herm on me (light leak, resolved). My trusty Chernobyl cut (refuses to herm, ever) got knocked up. I decided to pop one seed out of boredom. This is that seed starting week four of 12/12. This seems very frosty at this point, at least compared to the how the possible parents develop in the same amount of time. Anyone else have something similar happen? This was in my "trash seed" pile.

No. But, I'm very interested to know how that develops for you.

Looks like one of those good accidents.

If perchance your hermie was not caused by a light leak, what would you suspect to be the culprit?

he said the herms were caused by light leak, this is a seed that came from it

I know what he said. Thanks.

I have always been a big doubter of light leaks causing hermies. Before I went clone-only I never had a hermie in years of growing without really being worried about light leaks around doors or curtains or lights on equipment etc. I had leaks all over the place. That said, I bailed out a friend who was going through some problems with his GF and thought his grow might be in jeopardy. He stuck a couple plants in my shed and 1 hermied. Now maybe it is strain or strain sensitivity to light leaks but....if they both hermied I may be less skeptical


Edit: Just re-read my post, @Roger A. Shrubber. Sorry. It was poorly punctuated and I now understand your clarification.

I have grown the strains that hermed that round multiple times, no problems. Had a mishap, tent ended up with small tear that went unnoticed. This Chern cut I have is bullet proof it seems. I've had 100 degree temps with her, power outages that caused light schedule problems. She just stays the course. The leak caused the others to herm, but not her. I feel genetics plays a bigger factor with herming than environment. But that is with my meager experience. All I know is that this thing looks frostier than the plant that birthed it, which is in week 8 right next to her.

Was the other plant (the propagator) also 12/12 from seed or did it remain in a veg state for a while? I have seen the same strain act oddly when one plant is 12/12 from seed, and the other had some veg time. Regardless, that is a lovely plant, good on you.

Nothing was 12/12 from seed my friend. Something was lost in translation somewhere. Lol. I hope she smokes as good as she looks.
