Why are the genetics less stable tho? What is IHG doing different and why?
I don't even like saying less stable is the wrong way to put it

they take two plants and cross them regardless of the genetic makeup. If you cross a plant with the hermie trait I’m fairly sure that there is a chance it gets passed on.
many seed companies are just people chucking pollen and selling the seeds they make. A breeder actually does work to stabilize a strain and pass on the traits they want in the offspring, over and over again to give better chance of getting what is advertised.
chuckers often times have no clue what their plant will look like, grow like or even taste like. But it’s a way for people to make money and marketing is king in this world. If you can sell a man a box of untested beans for 200 you are truly a great marketer.

For any breeder it comes down to testing and standards. Good breeders have a zero tolerance policy on intersex traits. A good example of this that I just saw yesterday in the Dragon's Flame Genetics thread is that he had just pollinated30-50 big plants with a male he has selected, but then the male started throwing pistils so he went and cut down all of those big beautiful plants....because good breeders try to improve their lines by eliminating intersex traits when they pop up. IHG has always played it fast and loose with hermies in order to pump out as many crosses as possible. People say their older line work was good, but with the # of hermies popping up in MANY of their crosses, it comes down to testing. Reversing elite clones and crossing them with other elite clones removes selection from the equation-all they are doing is taking "fire" females that others selected to smash together so the offspring MUST be tested to see if hermie traits were passed on. It seems like IHG either stopped doing this vital step or just don't care anymore because people keep buying their stuff anyway. I have two IHG plants going now and I'm happy to say neither showed intersex traits, but it really is just the luck of the draw.

Rasta Jeff from eerie, lovin, Colin from ethos, Olivia from queen kush, and deep east genetics. In there respected interviews. They hunt for males that shoot pistils. Something about fem to male ratio in reg beans are 60/40 fem/male with those type of herms. All those interviews are on YouTube. Some from dudegrow some mr grow it. Some ctv. But they’re all there. There’s another breeder too. I forget his name. But I knows he’s old school grower

Just an update - I managed to contact in house genetics on instagram about the hermie issues I had. And they said they are going to take a look into it and find a solution. So I think they are taking it more seriously now, which is a good thing

Anyone work at a medical cannabis facility? I accepted a job with blah blah blah pharmaceuticals today and I’m nervous. It’s hard for me to take care of 8-10 plants let alone hundreds a day. I applied and never thought I’d get a hit back, and by golly they want me. I just don’t know what to do now. No confidence but I know I can grow some weed……
Nothing related to inhouse I’m just nervous and looking for guidance

You won't be left to your own devices or expected to make decisions, whatever they start you doing, you'll be following company SOPs every step of the way and under the supervision of a head grower or section lead. I wouldn't be nervous, you'll likely be doing mostly labour-intensive/repetitive tasks at least to start. Pruning/defol, cutting clones, watering mother plants, etc. You won't just be thrown in to run a flower room on your own on day#1.
Hopefully the company that hired you is one the (few) good corporate outfits, here in Canana 99% of the legal cannabis jobs are soul-sucking and dream-killing experiences. My best advice is to go into it with tempered expectations - good luck!

I did it like 12 years ago, jumped into the industry knowing damn near nothing. Just do it, don't fake it til you make it but use the knowledge and skills you have and ask questions and learn the way they want you to do things. Collectives want things done for profit not just the love of the plant and so there will be things you might not do at home that you have to do at work. Leave the ego at home and go in and go with the flow, you will be more than alright you will actually excel. You have the talent with the plant now its just getting over the fear and doing it. Once you do it you will be going through the motions and 6 months from now this post will be just a reminder of how you can do it.
I made good money, had amazing medical benefits and learned a ton about myself, the plant and companies. I decided to grow my own and do another line of work as I didn't want to be around the pesticides and a structured environment that wasn't catered to the love of the plant but the love of money. BUT not everyone fills the soul sucking aspects that others feel.

sMACkin week 5 of flower
Candy GAS terps. The candy side of the terps is almost like a Honey, honeycomb flavour/smell. Super Frosty with a Dense bud structure. Grown with all my love and effort. Hand feeding every day until run off in Coco. The yields are very low on some phenotypes and very large on other phenotypes. They are fast at flowering and 5 weeks in some of the pistils are receding into the buds already. lol I'm going to run them for another 5 weeks and see how fat the buds get. Hopefully I can get some fire red colors out of them towards the end of flower. The stems are already turning a dark pink/red color.

It’s called damping off and it’s not the breeders fault. Here’s 5 phenos of the slur #7. All seeds popped and were healthy I can’t say anything bad about em.

Damping off is a fungus/mold from excessive moisture.

I found this pheno in a half-pack, so I'm sure you'll find a winner or two out of 9
Inhouse is doing the One World One Plant growers showcase where they spread these Platinum Swabi Punch seeds around the world to a bunch of growers and some amazing pics have been coming through on IG!
