Anyone here familar with Erdbeer? I would love to get this one. Without it, no strawberry cough, strawberry anything for that matter. I have been checkin out Erdpurt crosses.. would be killer breeding plants I bet.

What do you guys do with your hermies? if it doesn't Hermie too bad do you just trash them or work with them and pluck any nastiness?

Anything with male preflowers before day 40 gets culled here in the cave. It's only happened once.
After that I pluck em. Anything with a nanner does not and should not be placed in or near the direct airflow of a fan.
I've seen nanners on Chem crosses before I would have liked and on a couple others but always in very late bloom. Pluck em off and let em chill but I don't keep these.

yea i got two plants that threw some sacs week 4 flower and i caught them before they opened and plucked and have been diligent and all in all about 8 different sites on the 2 plants that hermed but it was all down low on the plant, no return of anything since i plucked just keeping my eyes peeled and hoping for no seeds.

You gotta keep sharp and inspect every couple days after something shitty like that happens. I've seen plenty of sterile ones that were empty and no harm caused, once they fill with pollen and drop after day 40 you're at a big risk so pluck em as you see em. At Week 4 that would just piss me off. I like to prune all of the lowers real nice so the inspections go easier but whenever I reveg clones and cuts from bloom there's always more to cut away. I prune into bloom and until the 2nd week.

What strain is giving u issues?

Well i had some trimming to go in and do just like you mentioned, i was just a little lazy and currently managing quite a bit of plants so got around to it late, but planned on getting in there any how and trimming all the fluff not getting good light penetration. (which is where the hermie action was taking place).
I have a 4x4x6 flower tent that has a vent on three walls near the bottom which are suppose to be 100% blacked out and when i shut my self in the tent didnt see any light but i believe miniscule light poisoning was still coming through these vents which are down low and which is where the hermie action was so maybe there's a correlation there.
I duct taped the vents inside and out after i seen the nanners.

That agent orange i posted earlier was one that hermied along with a samsara crazy miss hyde fem freebie. pictured below.

Had them on my Electric Fruit Punch and some phenos of Querkle. I didn't want to throw the whole plants away so I plucked them and cut branches that were more affected. I've had a couple later in development drop pollen as I pull them off, so if they're like that I will wet a q-tip and use that to wet the sac without getting the bud wet. It seems to keep the pollen from going everywhere.

I did something to my whiteberry and the whole thing hermed, every calyx has a small seed in it. I didn't see more than a few bananas during harvest and nothing else in the tent got pollinated so I'm not sure exactly what happened.

Erdbeer: The Tale

"i dont know if erdbeer is pure afghani, its said to be 80%. take care of those beans bro, very few left for now. heres what i know.

erdpurt or erdbeer x purpurea ticinensis is swiss guy knospe original cross. erdbeer has a funny story:

"the Erdbeer is an industrial strain bread to flower quickly be moldresistant and machine harvestable ( hance the literaly rock hard buds ). It is said to be bread as a school project at a swiss university to create the perfect swiss industrial ganja. Some seeds somehow got lost."
i first came across this strain in 1999, ever since it was always available as clone only,
i was very impressed about their perormance, tried to gather info from the guys who sold the clones. nobody could tell me anything precise about the lineage or breeder.
there remains 1 most stubborn rumor that a hempfreak living with many squatters in a big factorycomplex in zürich, made the original seeds. probably it was never his intention to sell seeds. the squat was shot down by the police. erdbeer was available at a few cloneproducers in the züricharea. erdbeer slowly spread troughout all switzerland beeing available at most hempshops, as clone & dried flower.

in 2001 i grew a few 100 erdbeers, 1 of them grew out a single male branch pollinating the "freakhermie" and a few other erdbeers. i was lucky enough to harvest these seeds. from these i started my erdbeer crossings.
in 2003 i was testing several diff strains, also planted alot of those "erdbeer#erdbeer"
, they performed way better than the original clone. there was some slight variation, but in general very uniform and no hermies. the very best ones "erdbeer#erdbeer" from seed i pollinated with 3 diff males: purpurea, liztiskunk1 and 2.
(btw, the same purpurea male was used in the same year for magic bud#purp.)

with all crosses i made with original erdbeers, i noticed that the erdbeer genes are very dominant. erdbeer is a small round bush with rockhardnuggets.

it won several swiss competitions over the years. purpurea ticinensis is felix from owls productions creation https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.p...rea+ticinensis
. it has a funny little story to:

This plant has been selectively cultivated and bred by Felix of Owl Productions since 1988. He acquired the parental stock back then from some old Swiss German ladies in a mountain village that had grown it in their gardens for decades decoratively (so they say). Felix was amazed at the seeds performance. A very early strain in that all are finished by the middle of September. The plants all exhibit extremely purple branches with green/purple buds. It is the most acclimatized Swiss strain that Breeder Steve ran into, "fantastic commercial outdoor" he says. It is a very hardy plant

i know pt is felix and knospes favorite breeder plant. and especially the new freak free seeds rocks. i tried the pure erdbeer here but it was unfortunally to late so i tried the cross with pt and became very happy with it. its colours are elexent from red to black and silver and the smoked is good and heavy indica with earth and forest taste. many of the new crosses i did with it are showing big erdpurt dominans and i hope some of them will be bigger yielders than erdpurt itsself."-Esbe

That sucks to here of the nanners tryingtogrow. I have done AO in soil a few times and haven't experienced any but my buddy who took a cut from me had them. Whatever you decide to do, I can honestly say it shouldnt discourage you from trying AO again from seed. I have had great luck with it and love the final product. One of the best tasting strains Sub offers for sure.

Maybe they were all internal nanners, i hope to jesus that doesnt happen to me!
Or any of my females getting pollinated.
I think as long as the nanners stay internal your chances of your other plants being pollinated are slimmer but the plant with internal nanners will have seeds galore.

my agent orange had 1 girl out of three that showed nanners shitty for me it is by far the best pheno just absolutely coated in resin and the smell is amazing sour orange candies all the way! i have not found a seed yet though and ive been smoking it for almost a week now!

Im not discouraged by any means at all as i fully believe no one to blame but my self, i guess AO is picky about ANY light poisoning so watch your P's and Q's when it comes to to light with this strain. On a positive note my bombs seed fems and female seeds fems and dinafem fems have no nanners or hermie action what so ever very solid stable strains.
As far asmy agent orange it was only a couple sacs down low which was all going to get trimmed and its done, have not seen any more hermie action since i fixed light leaks and took off sacs.
I ordered a 5 pack of agent orange and out of 5 seeds i got 6 plants one seeds had twins (which i separated successfully) and i got 5 females and 1 male (the twins were both female)
So 6 plants 5 females not bad at all from a 5 pack. I think this agent orange is going to finish seedless it wasnt that bad at all and it smells so good and i also took a clone of it which is already vegging and it roots super quick. i now have 5 agent oranges to work with. Maybe not all of them are so picky about light, but regardless im sure it was miniscule light leak hitting lower bud sites causing some sacs to form.

How many nanners did it show and where on the plant mid, low, high? I assume you plucked them suckers when you saw em right?
Sounds alot like mine but i took a clone so i wont lose it! Did that pheno look like this?

I'm just finishing up a triploid Sour Cream plant, less then a week away from harvest.
I've successfully cloned her as well, as she's a good yielder and stinks like a blend of gas and old spice.
What did you want to know about triploids?

so i should be fine to clone her? basically im asking if there is any downsides of keeping it. The rest of the gpd girl is regular except for this one branch at the bottom. what are some downsides and whats are some pros of a triploid? Thanks

 

[BatMaN SKuNK]

Mutations in Cannabis plants just happen. Some grow up fine and are amazing specimens, some are a waste of time and space. If You like the mom, keep a cut... a clone is a clone is a clone..it will be the same as the parent given the same environmental factors.

What do you guys do with your hermies? if it doesn't Hermie too bad do you just trash them or work with them and pluck any nastiness?

depends on what kinda herm it is. I know i had a BUKU that hermed with sacs after the flip into flower and after picking a few off and hitting it with reverse nothing ever showed back up. Thats stuff is some of the most rotten fruit,sought after strain thats is currently in the inventory. Dont personally know how the smoke report is due me not being able to smoke any buds but it definitely smells unique. Had a sour candy herm late in flower which didnt bother me one bit, a few nanners here and there but nothing to freak out over. Now on another note, my RP "headband" did herm in like the 5th week with nanners on damn near ever bud spot which i i did pick off carefully. Also had a few sacs in like week two and three,maybe like 5 or 6 here and there but didnt affect anything seedwise. So, if your careful u can remove them, the sacs and nanners if your careful or just leave the nanners, NOT THE SACS, on. Just try and remove the nanners when they are green and not when they are super yellow and ripe because you can risk letting out pollen into the air and seeding your crop. Hope that helps

Yeah i had a strawberry blue 2 weeks in flower hermie at every node mingled within the bud and just trashed it wsnt even worth trying to spare it.

Damn dude. I actually was gonna pop one of those that i got as a freebie from the tude. glad i didnt. But if something like that happens...trash it. to much to deal with and worry about. thats why i think its good to run more than just one strain and more than one of each strain just in case of an situation like this.

Common with World of Seeds gear also. Breedbay tested their entire line and found if full of unstable dual sex plants. The admin was planning on giving their gear a chance to be sold at the Bay. I myself grew Strawberry Blue and without having a single male preflower.It is a 6 out of 10 and I'm being really nice only because I'm tripping balls right now. I also grew the Colombian Gold which looked nothing like Colombian Gold. Had am Indica leaning pheno.. explain that? You can't lol. Fuck WOS.

Yeah strawberry blue is suppose to be like 80% sativa or whatever but it had the fattest indica leaves ive seen. WTF?
