Good call, jumped the gun. Looks still pretty early maybe gently tie down bend over the 2 main tops that are tall. Don't really think you'll over stress gently strapping them all down.
I was thinking a 45 degree bend at the stem should be ok. I personally never did it before. I never had a plant stretch as much as she did. She grew 4 ft in stretch lol.

Yes and believe it or not even tho the gelato was covered in seeds the smoke is amazing so I'm stoked to give them a try how ever timing wise I dont think I'll be able to jump into this solo cup run i love the idea tho
I was getting into the breeding myself but then my cat said nope not today. I had a Jack Herer clone for the mom. Just needed a father in my hunt.

That's to bad I've never done any breeding myself this was actually only my second grow so I still have lots to learn and lots of seeds to practice with now lol I also got seeds off my zkittles glue and triple cheese that both got pollinated by the wedding cake. I'm going to call the triple cheese cheesey cake lol I think that name sounds hallarous. Also from my understanding because the wedding cake was a hermie I should have feminized seeds? I'd love to jump on a future solo cup grow!

hey whats up? why dont you still join - mine seeds havent even sprouted....

BTW I wouldnt use hermieseeds.... Breeders actually try everything to eliminate that genetic trait - youll have it in these seeds more than youd like. Unexpected pollen inside a growroom can cause abortion of a run...

You might get a strain that is prone to hermie. I've also seen people let plants go far past harvest to where they produce nanners and pollinate themselves that way. Personally, if it were me I would toss them to get away from the hermie,

I have two seedings on the go right now that wont be ready to flip by February and currently only have one space to grow

I've heard that before but I believe that the hermie was stress induced due to lack of light does that make a difference? I have quite a few seeds and have been scared to run them because of the hole hermie thing thought solo cup would be a good way to test them out

an Automatic Strain would flower well even in a Veg Room. but these plants in just 16oz cant grow big - you could grow them in a cartonage box with just a pair if CFLs...

Impossible to find out the herm reason, but a stresstest could bring some light at this... eg rootboundness is also stressy for plants.

Hermie can happen for a couple reasons. Light leaks being one. Stress is another factor too.
