    Is this a hermie?

    Yeah, I know. Still love to try some of the old stuff, though. :weed:

    Is this a hermie?

    I'm with you on the 2-5% average. I believe it. Sounds about right, honestly. Lol, good times! Wish you had some of that 70's seed, I bet.

    Is this a hermie?

    Thanks a lot for the clarification, Phytoplankton! I suppose, I'm confused about the term "rodelization"? As I've only ever been able to find it on Cannabis related websites. And the theoretical distinction, of a Dioecious plant, lacking the natural ability to self-reproduce, throws a big...

    Is this a hermie?

    No worries! If you want some source material I've included some. Of an experiment conducted on Cannabis sex chromosomes, I found a while back. I think it's really valuable information, happy to share. p.s. - good luck too, never know. Chance you might only get a few seeds, or, next to none.

    Just don't do the "organic coco" or whatever it's called, from whoever that youtube personality is. :D Treat coco as DTW hydro and you'll be fine. Coco's fun!

    Is this a hermie?

    I would get the idea of "stress = hermie" outa your head. Honestly you'll feel much better. And you won't be chasing your tail, trying to fix something which mightn't be there, every time you get an intersex plant. Seems it's your only plant, so just pluck on, if you can be bothered. I'd say...

    Possible lockout in soil? Need advice

    What do you think it was? Looks better for sure.

    Watch what the plant does over the next week, before watering again. Look for any droopiness, or deficiencies/lockouts/burn getting any worse. Especially first day or two after water. Not lying, I think it'll be tough keeping this grow tip top, because of your potting mix. Seems a bit heavy and...

    Once a week? Yeah man, that sounds a bit heavy. Water holding capacity sounds high. It's optimal to let the soil dry, but not so far the plant droops. Then it's important to get some runoff each time you water. (yes, organics too) It helps rid the soil of silts and excess dissolved solids. Soil...

    If supplementing nutrient, I always stick to the pH range the manufacturer recommends. I think it's important. And I don't ever bother to pH plain water using soil. Only pH plain water growing hydro. Organics I'd be happy around 6.5 even close to 7. 6 is a tad low and anything lower than 6 is...

    And my suggestion is to also wait until the soil dries, before taking a soil sample to test pH, as it's required to test properly. pH pen, you'll need to make slurry using dry soil + distilled water. Test kit, you use dry soil + supplied liquid solution to make slurry. Before you can do, or...

    Still unsure as to what is going on, need veteran help PLEASE

    This whole thread there's no mention of your input pH, what is it? Or your pot's volume, what is it? How frequently is it getting watered and how much at a time? I don't personally believe you need lime, if you're going by your waste or runoff. You can expect the output pH to be slightly lower...

    You'll be right. Just take it easy for now. Good luck.

    I'm having a lot of fun running 20% potting mix to 80% perlite, have to say. There's just enough water left in the potting mix to tie me over to the next day. Drain-to-waste style. Actually finding it easier than coco coir. PH seems more stable and I don't have to water as much. Been doing the...

    Those spots in the 2nd photo look a bit suss to me. Can't say what exactly, but I don't think it's nutrient related myself. The colour is off and there's signs of necrosis, rather than leaf cannibalization imo. If it's an infection, it's likely down to your environment. Likely too humid and too...

    BluLab pH pen won't calibrate in 4.0 solution

    I just got the same with the EC combo. I like it a lot too.

    BluLab pH pen won't calibrate in 4.0 solution

    I don't personally recommend HM Digital brand pH meters, if you end up needing to replace, as it sounds like you might need to. I've gone through 2x HM Digital ph-200's in a matter of weeks. Same deal, couldn't calibrate properly and calibration would drift. First one was dead on arrival and...

    Growing landrace indoors & Hermaphroditism

    I've included some of the source material I can find, that I've saved. I find genetics fascinating and am always happy to share. Always reading about it. Also, I want to say again that classification is important when it comes to this topic. By definition any plant with the presence of male and...

    Growing landrace indoors & Hermaphroditism

    It's not the plant's environment. It's the natural presence and % of monoecious plants in the gene pool or population. (Dioecious vs Monoecious) It's natural. There'll naturally be more hermaphrodite (monoecious) plants than usual, because theoretically, there hasn't been the same amount of...
