Sincity Seeds "SinMint"

Looking very nice! I really like the node spacing on them, and it looks like both have nice sturdy stems.

I believe the thick sturdy stem is something SCS attributes to the BP male they use. I hopeing in the next 2 months to have a good feel for the BP dom phenos. I have 5 different strains going that were all crossed with that male plant :). I'm already seeing some strong similarities between the growth and structure of several different plants. I'm hoping I get one of each plant that all taste almost the same, which would lead me to believe that was the BP flavor coming through.

Last week I put 2 Sinmints into flower, and yesterday I put 2 more in. They are all looking nice after being topped. The only one not in flower yet is the runt of the group. Its growing kinda slow but looks nice still so I'll just flower it in a few more weeks.

Thanks man. Mine didn't really jump into flowering like some others I have grown but they were only 30 days from seed when I flipped them. It usually takes me 5 or 6 weeks to get them topped and transplanted but these grew so fast I flipped early. Anyway they are all showing pistils now:cool:

I just got out of the garden, and one of the girls I switched last week had about 5 balls tonight. I left it for another couple days to to be 100% certain, but I've seen enough males over the years I'm pretty confident :). I tossed the runt into flower to take its place in the tray.

I hope the runt turns into some kind of dank-monster for you. These rumblings of hermaphrodites are disturbing. I wish some of the folks that were growing these would tell what happened for better or worse. Some have and some just vanish with no info. I am nobody in the cannabis industry and never will be..just like to grow. I will post my results even if I kill them all with stupidity.

I have seen no credible reports of hermies, specifically from the Sinmints. Mine was simply a male plant from regular seeds. So far none of the others have turn out male, and 2/5 are confirmed female! I do hope the runt turns out nice, I'm not sure why its so small still, but it is healthy so fingers crossed.

I'm also a nobody, though I've been around these forums a few years, I'm just a little fish in a big pond. I would love to move more into the industry, and I'm hoping the testing I'm doing for SCS will help lead that way. I need to update my test thread as a matter of fact.

I think your on the right road TC and I wish you the best of luck. I am relieved to hear your thoughts on the hermie issue. I also get that yours was just a male that hadn't shown everything yet. A few other people have cried hermie but I agree nothing solid yet. I tend not to believe these things until I see em with my own eyes and my sinmints are showing nothing but pistils:-P. There is not much smell to them yet. I have them in a tent with 1000w and when it has been closed up for 24 hours and I open a zipper I get a fairly strong scent. it takes awhile to build up though. Maybe my oder control is working too well lol. They are starting to really go now.

Those really are blowing up! Its funny I had never heard of Sin City until I went to the cup in Denver. They had a booth set up out there, and my buddy that was with me had read about them before. As it happened they were one of the only places I could get genetics while I was out there so I jumped in with both feet, and bought 4 different strains(most of which I havn't even germed). I can say now I'm very glad I did though, and its some of the dankest genetics I've ever ran!

Almost through my whole pack of 15, so far there are 3 Females 3 Unknowns and 9 Males. One of the Females? Grew balls first so I pulled her into another room and 5 days later she is showing pistols so not really sure about that one but the other two females are looking great and are getting to be pretty frosty at day 16 of 12/12. I will take some pics tonight.

Well I'm at 2 males of 5, with 2 confirmed females, and one unknown still. That being said the second male was obvious last night, and I played with it for a minute, and rubbed the stems a bit. It has a definite mint smell to it, so I'm thinking about saving that male and trying to collect some pollen. If I get a mint female it seems like a cross would make sense. I was also considering crossing it with my Cindy99, and calling it Sindy-99.

Oh ya looking nice! Seems like they are bulking up a bit now. I'll get some pics of mine in the next couple days. They started forming flowers about a week and a half ago now.

I will add that the second male I found which seemed to have a minty smell to the stem got crossed with my Cindy99 :). It has been dropping pollen over the last couple days in an isolated area, and I used a Qtip to collect some and put it onto the Cindy, then the next day just for the fun of it, I took the Cindy out to the male and rubbed them together a little bit real gently. The Cindy is about 1-1.5 weeks into flower so we'll see what happens.

I ended up with 4 females out of a pack of 15, 2 of which hermied right away and I running again to make sure it was not me. The other 2 are looking good
This one was around day 24 in this pic

They both look like they are going to be covered in trichomes
Night shot of the first one a few days later

Fan leaf of the Male I am using to make F2's and maybe hit a couple of my keepers with pollen from him.
