Well sucks to report this but one of my DDS has hermied it seems. I saw just a few small bananas this morning before heading out to work. A little disheartening for sure. I hope it was nothing I did. This plant has been under a little stress since day one popping above soil and I believe this may have contributed to it but who knows I can’t help but feel a little responsible for letting her and myself down. Upon sprouting she had tied her taproot in a knot somehow or another and has been growing sideways out of the soil since. I decided to let her live and give her a chance. I could only imagine the bigger she got the more this stressed her. I have yet to check the other girl but I did not see any bananas with a quick look over. Just hope she hasn’t been pollinated by my he/she. She will be coming down tonight at a few days shy of 8 weeks flowering. Hope everyone had a good Memorial Day and has a good day today! She’s only about 10-20% amber but I can’t let her live any longer. I’ll look for the pic of how she sprouted and I’ll show pics of how she grew from the soil later tonight. I am a little discouraged right now for sure because she is quite possibly one of the most beautiful plants I have grown but it happens I suppose. Stay blessed guys.

do run vermiculite or perlite as the medium for your hempy? if so vermiculite especially scares me i read that stuff and cat litter are mite infested and to keep those bags even away from ypour potted plants. that doesn't mena it is spider mites per se but i did use vermiculite as a bottom layer in pots for water retention mainly and thta is the run i ogt em. prolly a coincidence but idk i 'll have to see if i can find what i read about it again. i am fairly certian it is the dusty dry nature of those things the mites like

Before you bring them into your house, put the verm in turkey bags and bake it to kill any potential mites, Seems like a good idea to me anyways.

yea i didnt know about this 'mite issue' when i was buying vermiculite tho. in hindsight that would be the solution. i was even gonnamention it being "non-pastureized" as the problem. but ig you could do it yourself as you said
 
Here’s a pic of the hermie. No bananas showing but trust me I’ve spotted a few. Also a pic attached of the weird sprouting of this plant.

Yeah now that it’s this far what’s maybe one or two more weeks gonna hurt? Idk. Also forgot to mention I picked through one small lower bud a little and found two underdeveloped seeds

Most if not all the big names came from herms these days from what I gather. I’m new to growing and only did it for personal use, so if I get herms...no biggie. I took tweezers, dipped in water, plucked off banana, dropped banana in cup of water, rinsed tweezers, and repeated. Got majority before they opened up. Haven’t found a single seed so far. Idk. Good luck and nice looking buds!

Edit: added pic, not sure if you can see the nannersD47DB1B7-839C-405A-A6A0-7F8749A4205A.jpeg

Yeah I’m relatively new as well but just kinda messes with my head a little putting in 14 weeks of love and care and then it herm on me. It’s alright though like i said it happens. If anything get some bonus seeds. I’m strictly personally growing too so it doesn’t matter in that aspect just making me second guess my growing a little. Nice bud you got there. Just a couple small bananas on the bottom right I see

Nice
I've run a hempy or two(3years straight at one time).Great yeilds in small containers.
Was this a pure perlite hempy?
I ran the verm with it once.Didn't like the mess.
Pure perlite,perlite + coco and perlite + calcinined clay hempies are what I use now.

I ran hydroton in the bottom and coco in the top with amazing results.

@CoB_nUt i know you experienced a few late bananas on one of your DDS phenos. What ever came of that and how seeded were you? Sorry if you’ve already expanded on it I may have missed it.

Bummer.Yes I had my #2 pheno pop nanners.
She was seeded 125+..lol I stopped counting at 125.Even pollinated my #1 pheno with some babies.
She had to have popped some midway thru as I harvested a lot of mature beans.More mature beans than immature...pale,white,soft etc.
I wanted to run her again with these #1's I'm chopping now.Just to see if I was the cause.But I tossed the wrong extra clones.
It was my chocolate diesal leaning pheno that popped nanners.
Wasn't no picking these off as they were all over
I only noticed near the end when I could see them
Early on,it seems as if they were hidden
I'll admit,I wasn't watching them as closely as I should have being that they were new to my garden.
DDS#1 pheno second run no nanners or beans.
 
not getting off the bed but ill get some pics at some point however tonight is the last night for the jabba x ssdd from useful. this post is to honor the marijuana gods :) and thanks for another successful harvest.
jabbas x ssdd taken day 70 with minimal amber trichs in soil all organic no salts. prolly be 9 weeks in hydro be my guess. again I will post pics but I would say I have a decent amount of variation in these. tho somehow they are similar to lol. main smells are straight chem from the tres dawg in the lineage be my guess. this is really one of 6 females I grew that had this smell strong. main smell is berry funk which has a chem tone to it. I am also growing jabba f2s atm in day 39 flower and I would say the fruit from these is coming thru in most phenos but with a chemmy note that is not in the plain jabbas. this chemmy fruit has a wine or brandy smell to me. the all chem pheno is lighter in color which is odd. she also seems to have some feeding issue I am not sure about yet. basically she seems to get nute burn halfway thru flower in my soil mix. at one point an organic calcium and mag feeding of langbenite and eggshell/vinegar made the burn stop going, but back to plain water feeding for end of life brought the 'burn' back. I mention this only because my hunch is this is gonna be the dankest of the bunch and the only one like it. only the smoke report later will tell tho. i'll get pics this weekend sorry for the long post with no pics
