One of my girls have hermed and I was wondering if it will send pollen to my other girls, they are seperated but sometimes they get close contact(few feet away)

I don't mind that she hermed. it just give me seeds for later. the strain is the don. will post some pics in a few minutes

Yes she/he will send pollen everywhere just like a male would. The seeds will be fem though, but they will have a higher chance of hermieing. If you have other plants in the general area either cut down the herm or move your other girls.

also do you know what caused this. just dogy genetics. light leeks. something you might of done to cause stress over a period of time. is just make a note for next time thats all lol as them notes can be priceless. also if it was dodgy genetics. did they have less vigor. for example ect all good exp and info

I have others but the are and have been seperated. I'v just put them close by to take pics for better lighting. I wont do that anymore!

i have had quite a few light leaks, but this is (i geuss) a hermed strain. the guy I got it from know for sure that it was from a hermed don. can I reverse the effect on the next clone, or will it herm too.

the lack of vigor...... I didnt do my ferts right I have been on a limited budget and i used floranova grow in veg(no micro because of money) then I got the wrong bloom I got the florabloom instead of the floranova bloom, I will be getting when I get paid.I also am useing a 150w hps rite now and have to get the 1000w bulb and reflector, i have the ballast. just getting my rooms almost done being built. I have had alot of bumps. I have too buy the stuff as I go I didn't know it was going to take this lnog for my rooms even to be where they are. the one I have in flower is in a diy box that I built. I have three more that are almost 6 feet tall(been waiting for the 1000w bulb) they are differnt strains tho

All a clone is, is an exact copy of the mother you took it from. If the mother was a herm the clone will be to. A fem seeds are more liable to herm than regular seeds due to how they're made, but the strain itself probably isn't a herm strain. If you had more than 1 or 2 light leaks chances are high that that's why it hermed. Any messing around with the plant should be done during the light hours. Plants need a minimum of 12 hours of dark. They can have more dark, but not less if you want to flower them. Any change in the light cycle increases the chances to herm.

What strain do you have and by who?

they are bag seeds I got from friends. the only one I know for sure is the don( which isin flower). then i think one of the other three is chemdawg, the other two could be just about anything. I plan on going to the local dispencery to pick up the strain that I plan on leaving in in my grow for a while.

I didn't mind messing around with these plants, to see what I do wrong, I didn't think much would come from this crop. figured they would all be male or I would kill them anyways. I don't have a ph meter or a ppm meter I'm just going for it. as I can afford I will buy these things and get better as I go, lighting wont be an issue anymore. the light leaks were caused by me opening the door of my box, I sealed the box completely.
