Seeds in my plants, 6 weeks into flower today.

Hmmm i would off grew one on my next grow but i dont want the seed/plant to herm on me again then im back to square one,

I got told that when a plant gets stressed and starts herming and producing seeds they will be female or is this a myth? But i have chopped the hermed plant and im finding a few seeds on my other 3 plants, I plucked and found a few earlier with tweezers,

Will these seeds will be feminized? The ones from the other plants not the herm i chopped at 5 weeks. There was no seeds on the herm i chopped just loads off bananas outside and inside the bud.

Ah well there you have it, you should have kept the one you chopped as the others are herms so it wouldnt of mattered.

By one or two newer members advice on herms you would kill them all and have zero bud.

I feel like this is the best reason we advise to keep the herms to new growers, no harvest otherwise :-)

Again, it depends on why the plant hermied. If it was in perfect health and started chucking nanners then you are probably dealing with crap genetics. If it hermied because of stress factors (over feeding, under feeding, extreme temps or humidity, over watering etc etc) then more than likely the seeds it produces will be no more likely to self pollinate than any other.

Tbf I was growing lemon kush they were expensive seeds think I paid like £60 for 5 and I was told these were cunts for going hermie but I just loved the flavour and high best I've ever had.

Top stuff, Cheers for that advice buddy i used the Canna full range off nute becasue my 50 odd year ols cousin swears by them he says they are the best around to use specially the canna boost, I payed £50 for one Litre off the stuff, Its expensive. All the others canna additives wernt to bad to shell out for.

Im currently following the "Light Sheduale " on Cannas website for growing in coco and so far ive had no nute issies (touchwwod)

I feed 1L off feed a day, I mix them all into a 10L bucket or sometimes my 20L if i can be bothered lol

Im just over rhe moon ill have some Fem Seeds, just my luck as soon as i payed nearly £100 for 10 white wisow off sensi seeds.

Meh. Most that Canna specific stuff is watered down and marketed to new growers. It works but is over priced. I can do the same with a bottle of dynagro or bag of megacrop. Either is a few bucks a grow. Megacrop is one of the few cannabis specific nutes I like. It's cheap and works. They sponsor here.

I grow organic myself. It's free for me.

As far as store bought seeds. I've bought all the hype the last few years and find myself going back to stuff I've been growing for 15-20 years or looking for older landrace varieties.

If it matters I have several grow threads here and can provide pics. I show my mistakes as well. I'm honest about my grows. Ask the new guys if they can do the same.

Hilarious the dudes that spread shit like “90% of elites come from bag seed” and “flushing is voodoo” are considered the authorities here at RIU now. What a fucking joke this place has become...

Flushing is a myth.

I never said 90%. I do know quit a few popular strains are herm prone.

You can't flush a plant. Science says otherwise.

Immobile nutrients don't move so can't be flushed. Mobile nutrients move from the yellowing leaves to new growth. The very buds you smoke. So try again.

Leeching is the technical term and just means to remove salts from grow medium.

Cannabis puts on up to 25% of it's weight in the last couple weeks. Why starve it.

Don't over feed them and you don't need to flush. Less is more.

The smoothness if from the dry and cure.

A know but a panicked and just chopped it dowm, The buds thmeselves on the other 3 plants they have 8 huge main colas each,

But the one i chopped it was full off nanners i was picking them off for a week everyday then i deceided to open a bud randomly and inside the bud it was packed with them so i thought its coming down there and then,

But i check my other 3 plants everyday and there is no nanners at all just seed pods on the lower buds and none on the huge colas (touchwood) They have just finished their week off PK 13/14 and the buds have grew massive this shit really makes a difference in my opinion and the frost is unbelievable.

I wonder what it is that caused the hermie plant,

I have taped bing bags around the outside off the tent just to make sure there is no light leaks, (This is before i even popped a bean and i got the missus to Zip me in and there was no light seeking through at all).

Everytime i go in to feed the temps are always on 26-27 degrees, Humidity good to.

Mmmmmmm, Mystery,

I cant wait for my second grow in this tent Sensi's White Widow i cant wait! But before a bean is even popped that tent is getting a good clean.

Just remember it takes about 4 weeks to make seeds. So by the time you see them the damage is done.

If the one was throwing that many nanners the it was probably a good idea to remove it. The seeds you see now we're from a while back. The new pollen would've made a bunch of immature seeds. Those suck.
 
Dinafem makes a good White widow. I'm partial to seedsman white widow. The Brazilian sativa comes through on it.

For affordable fem seeds try out female seeds. I've grown a number of thier strains and they have been good. I like thier c99 and is on par with all the other c99 I've had from other breeders.

If you don't feel like growing any of the seeds that were made just put them in with a little dry rice in a dark drawer they will last for years.

It all comes full circle. You will buy new strains but will find yourself going back to old stuff as well.

I think the biggest thing is new growers love thier plants too much. It takes time to learn patience. Sometimes the best thing to do is leave them alone.

I won't bullshit you. I grew up growing our own food. Raising a garden and canning. We grow house plants and flowers as well. I still make mistakes.

Welcome to growing. It's a fun ride. I enjoy growing more than smoking.


Here is a thread of mine. I quit updating it.
