no its not guaranteed but you have a slightly higher chance.

dont worry about it. go for it. if it hermies on you so what, its still a good learning experience for you.

bagseeds are great tools to use to teach yourself different aspects of growing.

Here is a pic of the clone i kept. I gave one to a buddy to spread the love!

Its been 23 days since I cut her off, slow going at first. Shes moving right along now. Every day shes getting bigger and bigger. Im gonna grow this one out as a momma and spread her around as much as I can.



The leaves on top were all yellow and almost necrotic, but they turned right around and are now nice and green. The lower branches just popped up the other day, moving right along nicely. I imagine her to be alot bigger when I get back from la in a couple of weeks.

i mean hermies are just buds with seeds right?? will the weed that i grow out be better than the bud i got the seeds from?

oh my bad,

yes it will, because its fresh, grown by you. and cured currectly. as far as potencyy thats kinda hard to tell. alot of thc production gets halted when seed production takes over.

i really wouldnt worry about hermies, just go for it. most of the time hermies are created because of plant stress not bad genes. just go for it! and try to get better genes when you can. like i said before bagseed is a great way to start and teach yourself , same goes for males.

If you have the funds, the fox farm trio pack is a good way to wet your feet with using nutes.

the nutes you use also depend on the growing medium you are using. you also have to make sure your soil isnt fortified. if it is you shouldnt use any nutes for a few weeks or at least slowly begin the process.

you can get the trio pack for like 40 bucks if you look around.

generally with nutes there are three stages.

veg
bloom
super bloom

you can also add unsulphored molasses for an extra push while flowering. this will increase the sugar and carbs for the plant

you can try to remove all the banana flowers but its really really tuff. you have to constantly keep up with it. good luck but dont worry about it you will be fine.

increase the sugar? make my weed taste sweet? i have two daylight cfls, should i add a soft white to the mix?

probably nothing. possible nute lockout. the plant doesnt need those extra sugars and carbs during veg.
