Greenpoint seeds!!

I just went through the whole plant, along with the other 3, and this one is definitely the only one that has any. None of the plants have pollen sacs, so I'm at least good in that department. This one plant has stamens on the very top cluster of the tallest colas, and each of those seems to have a single cluster of 3-4 stamens, but none of the bud clusters below those have any stamens. All the stamens were still greenish yellow, and none had any pollen on them, so I just went through every cola and was able to pluck each cluster off with some fine tipped tweezers. This plant is easy to access so I'm going to just check on it every day and hope none come back. If they keep coming back then I'm going to cull the plant. I just can't get myself to cull it yet...even though I know I might regret that.
Anthers is the name of the pollen sac. Your not seeing any?

Bear with me, because I’m not sure if I’m using the correct terminology. I always thought the “banana” was the stamen and the anthers are the part of the stamen that actually secrete the pollen. Is that correct?
This was one of the most fully developed clusters. The majority of the others were still pretty light green in color, and smaller in size, but I didn’t see any pollen on any of them or on the pistils surrounding them.

Ok, so I’ve never had this many nanners before, so forgive me if this is a stupid question...how risky is it to leave it in there with the other 3 plants? I personally don’t give a shit if that one plant self pollinates but would be more on board with culling this plant if it were a big risk of heavily pollinating the other plants. I’ve had one grow where every plant was heavily seeded, but that was from an actual herm with balls. Am I correct in thinking nanners don’t release as much pollen as full on pollen sacs? Or am I just telling myself that to feel better about not wanting to cull this plant?
Cull that immediately there is no savin that shit man. Anytime a plant shows nanners that early and that profusely is just a doomed plant.

If you have a place you can stick it outside to reveg and flower out and press it for rosin.

Crazy how other breeders get destroyed for having a messed up line go out that is unstable.

It's honestly getting stupid how many of GPS fem line has this many herms.
Maybe go back to just doing regs.

Didn't Heisen make a video of himself pissing on one of Gus plants because he sold untested herm crap at one point?
Hahah I was like I'm going to check out the greenpoint seed sub since I haven't in a while. I also have several pack just sitting there. Guess things haven't improved...lol

I’m here to give a smoke report. So let me start by saying I was hooked on wedding cake since it was probably the sexiest plant in my garden that I decided to completely forgot about the east coast star dawgs so once I ran through my wedding cake I decided to give it a shot and smoke some because I wasn’t crazy impressed Due to WC. So the other day I took my first drag and let me say bravo shit is right on target !! Overall fucking 10!

Just have to say in my experience GU and his team have given me consistent service and I’m saying this for those who are on the sidelines.

I never got any nanners But let me add some strains could be more prone to herm so this is where it could be grower error.

Update to my post from ages ago - my original pack never touched down, but GPS sent out another one, which actually did show up a few days ago.

The woman I spoke to on the phone was pretty pleasant, and mentioned that a handful of orders (I think she said it was around 30, but my memory is shoddy and it might've been way more) "got lost", and that they were basically just waiting for people to reach out so that they could make it right. Perhaps an interesting way of dealing with that sort of thing, but I appreciated the honesty.

I originally grabbed Cake 'n' Chem and Purple Dream, but the latter was out of stock when they re-shipped, so they sent me Grape Punch instead. Haven't seen much talk about the Grape Punch, so I'm pretty intrigued.

I've lurked in this thread for ages, and have seen a lot of the ups & downs, but at the least, it seems GPS is on-point as far as customer service goes.

Gonna get something popped as soon as I can make up my mind as to which strain I want to run first. The Cake looks like it'll be a killer, but the Grape Punch definitely has my interest as well bongsmilie

FYI - I haven't found a single nanner in any of my fems. I've grown 3 purple crash and 2 wedding nights with no nanners. I have a GMOozy in veg right now too. I think all of my packs are from the first harvest of seeds. I bought a few and the rest were testers.

While I'm open to the idea that it is possible that I could've done something to stress them into throwing dicks, this is the first plant I've had that has thrown dicks, and it threw a ton of them out. The plants in my current grow all got lollipopped at the same time, and to the same extent, so I don't think that was the cause. The only thing that I think could have caused it, if it isn't a genetic issue, would be that I tilted my lights a couple of weeks ago to get them a little closer to the shorter front plants so they were the same distance away as the taller plants I have in the back, but the other plant I have in the front isn't throwing dicks and the one that is doesn't look like it's stressed at all. I grow primarily all fem seeds and the only herms I've had in the past have been actual hermaphrodites with full on pollen sacs. I guess I won't really know if it is the seed genetics, or not, until I grow out some more of that strain.

serious question here, not trolling. I assume the quality of the reversal spray/method/how it's applied/etc will effect the stability of the seeds. Is this correct? So each batch of spray (CS, STS, etc) can have a different outcome? Thanks for the info

I dont think so. CS and STS are both just supplying silver which in turn block the hormone that triggers female flowers. The plant then produces male flowers.

That doesn't effect seeds or the viability. Or at least not to my knowledge.

This process doesnt herm the plants or cause their offspring to herm either.

Most of those seeds will herm or throw nanners because of the shitty grow conditions in which they are made. I see a video where plants was fully seeded but the bottom half was dead. So yea that’s the reason
