Kmog..
I disagree..
If you buy Fem'd seed from a breeder who knows what they're doing...the likelihood of fem's decreases dramatically...

As said, I have 3 other strains with that cherry wine and thise plants are as pleased as punch..

Greenpoint's response was a disappointment...all about the money with little concern for the customer or their reputation...

I had the same experience with the cherry wine f2’s mid-late flower and got my crop dusted. I have also talked to others who had the same experience and if you even look on their website they show a pic of a very young hermi in the reviews which is weird cause it has 5 stars next to it

what I took from this was a few things
Not a lot of breeders make stable high CBD strains
F2’s are definitely going to give you a higher chance of an undesirable trait like this

I had never had a plant hermi like this before, the buds were engulfed with little flowers. I typically find them on lower branches

I am surprised they are Selling the Cherry wine f2s still but for 30$ that is still a good deal. I just wish I knew the risk before ruining my crop with it

At least they gave you a discount code!
Has anyone here had a good run with the cherry wine f2’s??

Out of curiosity but how do you breed a natural trait out of weed? All cannabis contains hermaphrodite DNA in itself so it can create a seed when a male is missing for survival.

No, "all cannabis" does not contain the hermy trait. What you're talking about is an environmental reaction to flowering without being pollinated. That reaction has nothing to do with being a hermy.

When a plant produces some pollen sacks late in flowering, that is a result of its environment without males around. When a plant produces pollen sacks soon after flowers form, that is a plant that has the hermy trait, and should be binned immediately.

Plants hermie as a defense mechanism to insure that the species lives on.

I've heard of breeders exposing their plants to all sort of crazy things...irregular light cycles, higher uv radiation, pH variation, nutrients etc...with the intention of eliminating those that are
most sensitive and prone to hermie...

You'll never be able to eliminate the potential of being hermie...but you can certainly reduce the predisposition to females popping balls" if you look at them funny"

In my chat with Greenpoint...people like you don't exist..no hermies there..
I'm guessing some reviews are selectively chosen..
I just figured thats what these boards are for..to share knowledge and create a bit of accountability.

Alright, took a few more photos. Didn't turn out like I was hoping. My hand shakes fairly bad from asthma meds. I did my best thou all! Side profile really make the blooms look bigger. Like I said I was just wondering if they will get any bigger! I'm gonna get some stakes to tie the branches too. The one Purple Crash is getting a little heavy.

Hmm so what I am misunderstanding is how do you differentiate between what could be a "natural" hermie versus an environmental induced hermie? i.e. Light leaks, high temps etc. Are these the same type of hermie you consider?
I'm trying to read up on Monoecious, Dioecious, and Gynodioecious plants and how Cannabis hermies fall into these categories because its not so simple to define.

Hey all! New around here. I also am growing some Greenpoint Seeds! Currently have 2 Purple Crash and 3 GMO Punch in flower. Had 3 Purple Crash but one really hermed out so I killed it early on. The other PC's I've plucked a few sacs from but so far so good. Nothing up top. GMO's I've had like less than 6 on 3 plants. Same deal nothing up top. They will be in week 6 on Wedneday 6/24. How do they look? Super frosty! Just wondering if bud will get any bigger?! First grow ever.
I also ordered some more Greenpoint Seeds. Got Oil Slick, Purple Mac, Gorilla Punch, Purple Bananna Cookies, Grape Punch. Purple Cake!
I have another 2 GMO and 1 PC in Veg to see if the herm was my fault or the plants!
Sorry if photos are bad!

I poped 3, 2 got early balls in the first few weeks. Pulled them. The 3rd didn't and it seems to be stable. I cloned it and it's in flower again. Fairly frosty and not much of a buz so it must be cbd high. I have decarbed some in coconut oil with a bit of sour bubba. So far testing seems to be good for pain and stiffness.

Natural
Hermies are extremely rare. I think the gender parts are more separate than stress herms.

wow those look killer. My outdoor purple canyon and snake oil seem quite happy. That purple canyon is funny. I threw her outside because she was growing slow as fuck. Now she’s as big as both snake oils combined with close to two months to go before they start flowering. Love that outdoor scrog action. I just threw the square of fencing over the purple canyon yesterday and had to really bend some branches.

Beautiful! Yeah once they get outside they expode!
I actually had to fim the tops of the jelly pies because they were trying to take off in the middle and there was no more room to bend them under the net and still give room for the undergrowth to come up. Definitely going to be a big producer! Cant wait to see the colors they will throw this fall with our cold temps we get here.

In a couple of weeks I will have to add the next layer of trellis netting for support or those branches will break.

Looks like you are doing an awesome job! You will love the yield doing it that method!
