Hermie resistant strains

riumember101 · Feb 19, 2019

Lately I've been getting more hermies in packs than I would like while my old stock remains stable, I'm wondering if any one can recommend some strains that are stable while having the potency of some of the more hermie prone strains (og, diesel, cookies crosses etc)

I'm fine with anything 70% sativa right down to pure indica, potency matters most along with smell/taste.

I was looking at trying bodhi out, his cherry queen looks like an afghani cross which I usually enjoy or his hollyweed, any feedback on these 2 in terms of stability and your general view would be great!

Otherwise I would love to hear what others have to recommend.

Hermie advice: avoid feminized seeds

gwheels · Feb 19, 2019

or avoid light leaks. Fem seeds do fine if you control the environment right.

Never had Hermie issues with feminized seeds ever.

hotrodharley · Feb 19, 2019

The only hermies I've ever had were with feminized seed. 10 "pre-98 Bubba Kush" all hermied. Every single one. 5 other strains from regular seeds had none in the same grow.

Plenty of fem seeds that wont herm. But all fem seeds are made by herming a plant to get them to self-seed. Its harder to know what will make a fem seed herm, sometimes heat, training and defoliation will make them herm in ways that other wont.

Too many "breeders" rushing seeds out before growing any out is part of the problem. In my opinion.

That would depend on if there was a recessive gene for hermaphrodite tendencies in the plants already.

My worse was an OG Kush.

I will run some regular seeds just to see how it goes. I want a male so odds are good they will be all females

Chemdawg hermied so badly that for a long time it was clone only from the phenos that didn't hermie. It can be stabilized somewhat. I've grown feminized freebies from G13 Labs, Dinafem and Reserva Privada that were perfectly fine. No hermies and no nanners.

+1 on avoiding fem seeds.

Ive grown about 20ish plants from fem seeds... about 3/4s hermied.

Arkitecht · Feb 20, 2019

Although I have found many herms over the years, I have found no more or less frequency between fem or reg.

riumember101 · Feb 20, 2019

I've never grown fem seeds.
Also my room is 100% light proof, climate controlled and I've been using this same room a long time now.

It's not stress, my plants could never look happier and I'm not the type to push them hard.

I've found it's more common in the current hype strains, it's hard to find a plant getting high raves without having og, diesel or cookies in it (these 3 have always been most prone for me)

Is it hermaphroditism or is it a natural rodelization? My blueberry shows rodelization if it goes longer than 65 days, my blue dream was a true hermaphrodite, throwing balls once buds started to set. Big difference.

Early balls rather than late bananas, I can live with late bananas if it's a great plant.

Watch for oversized ovules that crackle like tiny seeds when you grow fems as well.

Let me know when you find that magical stable strain. Most breeders suck and cannabis is being ruined. Genetics being lost and destroyed. Freak plants with freak issues popping up More and more. Try bodhi..other than that, go with old school mr nice. I grew 4 jack 47 from sweet seeds. One genetic hermie...one threw nanners at end and was weak as as shit. Another was a mutant that was as potent as hemp. This was supposivley sweet seeds pride and joy. Their most expensive strain. Yea..fuck them and most any breeder who only does fems.

Sad but true, I've noticed more hermies and weird plants in more recent years but I'm also finding more powerful plants in terms of potency, in saying that if I could buy some of the strains from the late 90s I would without hesitation.

Never again here either, latest being reserva privada Kandy kush; which pollinated 4 other plants.
Back to Bodhi for me.
