Ya the phrase verbal diarrhea comes to mind. Thats the foot in the mouth comment i was referring to. I got myself some bad press a while back. The correct thing to do in the situation is mind your ps and qs if you want to be accepted by your peers again. Not go and call out a whole sub form of riu and call em noobs. (Shakes head in disbelief)

Lmfao If you haven't seen any herms, then you aren't growing much or stick with clone onlys..Gtfoh with that bs. Every so often you get a pack that has a herm. Ever grow GSC strains or cherry pie. Good luck being 100% herm free...

guess your reading comprehension isn't up to snuff either. 6 yrs of all fem seeds for me. no herms.
i grow stable strains, not crap rushed out the door cause it's got a cute name.

You had better start researching deeper then the internet!
Your wrong..I know and speak with plenty of breeders....I breed and we all have opinions!
I don't consider rebuilt strains should be called what the "breeder" intended to "copy". That includes 99.89 % of ALL cookie strains on the common seed market! Weak genetics and improper breeding practice are part of the equation.
The whole problem there is Cali Con and Barney's LMFAO!
43 years !! I breed too!
MOST common cause of bisexuality (proper term) in growing plants is the growers fault!
#1 cause of Bisexuality in Cannabis = Environmental causes leading to severe plant stress. Overfeeding to being too hot to running to long!
I got news for you - light leaks....not so much!

Damn 6 years? How many plants at a time? What strains, what breeders? I must learn from you...

A. Who said anything about light leaks
B. What company do you work for? I chuck pollen as well.
C. This discussion stems from the opinions of whether making fems with CS passes down the herm trait to offspring.
I'm not trying to have a damn argument on here but everyone thinks they've got all the answers. I admit I do it at times as well. I have been told to my face as well as done shit tons ( as we probably all have) of reading about everything under the sun, including th CS fem debate. I have multiple grow locations and have been doing it over 10 years so it's not like I'm some closer grower who doesn't know shit. As for Barneys and Cali hell ya they suck balls, but I wanted a strain and took the leap. I've seen other herms here and there. It happens when you've grown hundreds of plants. Why this turned into an argument where I ever said every fem seed is herm trash. Just said they have the trait which is what I've always been taught. Unless someone on here is a geneticist, then nothing anyone says on here is gonna change my opinion.

We all have different opinions and different ways to get what we want. As long as we all end up with our herb, who cares I suppose.

I have grown fem beans for over a decade. Maybe 5% have turned hermie. And the majority of those were so late in flower it didnt matter. Maybe your herm problem is your growing skills. You may want to work on those before you attempt to breed. Or should I say chucking some pollen around, probably more accurate.

I made my own cs and have been spraying the dinafem xxl auto. Self it and the seeds will be close to the mom. Its just now starting to flower and I'm sure I will have to remove the drawers in my cab to make room.
The one in the right. My cab is 25 inches deep. 15 inch pot with about 5 gallons of dirt.That is under t5. With a bigger pot and outdoors or hid and 100 days, a half pound.
She is really starting to look like a sativa at the top.

Something is off if you get more than one or two.
Why would I buy a seed without research? I look into the breeder and grow logs before I buy.
Guess what. No hermies.

all spraying a plant with a chemical such as collidial sliver does is prevent the plant from producing the hormone, ethylyne, needed to grow female, pistilillate flowers, and instead, grow, male stamenate, flowers instead.. that's it..
if a man takes a hormone such as estrogen, a female hormone, he will start to grow breasts, his voice might go higher, and he will be less hairy.... the guy isn't suddenly a hermaphrodite, again, it's the hormone that caused the man to grow breasts, and have a higher voice, and less hair, same as what cs does to plants to make fem'ed seeds.. if a male who has taken a hormone such as estrogen has kids, do you really think he's going to have kids that have breasts if they're boys? that's simply laughable.. plants are no different then people when it comes to things like this.. if the man stops taking estrogen, the breasts go away, his voice raises, and he gets lucky and has to start shaving again.. it does nothing to his dna..

I've grown mostly fem over the past 5 years too - NOT ONE Hermy'd...! I've had only one herm - it was a 'blue treacle' auto.. , i grow regs, fems and auto"s - anything that i like regardless of seed type. Happy growing,

How am I wrong? I've never had regular bean go hermie on me ever! Like I said 70% of the fems went hermie late in flower and had seeds.
I've been growing for a long time and I usually grow well over 200 plants per cycle.
Fem went hermie, regular beans didn't..
You can NOT say that my personal experiences are wrong.
