From the looks of these balls.....they might have busted a nut already...........always scrap hermies no matter how far along.........i uderstand you don't want to but save yourself a hassle.............I'd clean your room with some bleach.....take all your plants of tent and clean it.....all you need is a set rogue pollen screwing shit up next grow from falls blowing pollen around................

Did a nice scrub down last nite just to be safe. Thank you. I will also scrub the drying room when I take them down to cure.

Yup probably right, that sux too. I have a big clone from her thats been topped and nearing ready to flower lol.. and a couple other clones as well. Luckily I have two other strains left and some more seeds from all 3 strains. I guess i'll let these clones grow and see what happens, but I doubt I'll cut any more from that strain. Shame too, she was such a big healthy fast growin plant.
where did you buy seeds? wich breeder? were they fems? if the breeder used the wrong method of getting fem seeds then you may not want to buy from them again. if they used the light cycle stress method then half of the seeds will be hermis the other half fems, and its quite possible that the hermi trait once introduced in this way will remain......ie.... if the non hermi fems are breed to a non hermi male the offspring could carry the trait from the previous generation.

Nirvana fems.. they sent me wonder woman by mistake when I ordered white widow. they also replaced the mistake so I ended up with the wonder woman seeds free. I dropped another of the wonder woman seeds in a cup of water today to start one from scratch. Maybe it was just bad luck im not going to fault anyone because my first plant was a hermie. It sure could have been something I did I dont know for sure. The other two plants in the tent seem fine still. from nirvana also.. an aurora indica and a white widow. Does suck tho cause her clones are top of the class in health and growth of all the clones I took from all 3 plants. Guess i'll see if they hermi too lol.

I dont know if you realize this or not.. but if you walk in your grow space during the dark hrs. this kind of stuff happens.

Im not saying you've done this, Im just telling you to prevent problems like this in the near future.

Good luck to ya :)

Yes, it wasnt a lighting thing that hermied it. Preciate the thought tho :) I really think I was just unlucky with that one. had 3 plants in the same tent.. other two are still fine.. diff types tho. The tents always been zipped up at or before lights out. Ive been inside it and made sure it was light proof. Just a bummer cause she woulda been two to three times the yeild of the other two plants that I have left. But im packin the veg box full this time just in case :) planted 4 more seeds just tonight. One of them was another wonder woman fem, in case her clones suck too.. I'll give the strain one more chance cause she was huge. Its a good buzz too for an immature plant that I quick dried a few buds from. If she'd have been amber I bet she'd have been two hit quality :)
