I would 100% agree with this. There has to be an underlying gene in every strain that would cause this. I was just curious as I had 4 do it all at once, if it were something on my end.
Im a pretty firm believer in this too. Stress is stress, no matter if it is from a light leak or flipping to flower before it is sexually mature.
It may be they are all hermie proned and you just lucked out with one, or just that one particular plant is just more sensitive to stresses because it hangs heavier on the side of one of the parents that carries that trait....or possibly the one girl wasnt as sexually mature as the other 7 yet when flipped? Could be a number of things but pretty safe to say that if you run enough of anything, you will find something anomalous in comparison to all the others run whether that be balls on a girl or quality beyond compare to the others. No scientific backing, just my .02 of course.
you do know the the hermie gene is in evey seed -- some mtimes stress brings it out - have had some very good "hermie" pot + seed to play with - just dont; grow them olut because they will polliante youor other plants in room - I ways hate to pull plants out of the mix because of a hernmie
I did lol.
I’m in a basement that usually stays around 63 degrees year round. The room is an 8x8 but everything is in a 4x4 tent in the room. I had light leak issues when I was using just the room for flowering, but now with the tent in there, there is absolutely no light getting to the flowering plants. I did put a space heater in the room with the tent to get the ambient temperature up a little. I have three other plants in the tent that had no herm issues at all, so I’m banking on underlying genetics. One being a Mo Swayze that looks absolutely amazing. The Mo Swayze that hermed was most likely my fault. It was left from a seedling in a little seedling container for about three months. She was probably two foot tall and spindly. I also didn’t help it by putting it in a half gallon pot for flower.
Good to know! I am running about 600w of LED in a 4x4. So you think my temps should be up higher? For some reason I thought around 75 degrees was good, but I am always learning. Working on getting my Masters in mids right now……
Yeah you did a good job pointing out stresses are cumulative, I think red mentioned that too. You arent just looking for the straw that broke the camels back here.
Exactly, and what may be the straw for one plant, may be just another in the stack for a different plant. They’re all unique.
I was keeping my temps bout 85 with the LED, feeding a bit lighter, and had humidity bout 45% and was having great success with that til I had pH issues haha. I want to go back and find what I was reading before but it had a lot more info about this than what I’m saying right now
I like to run at 80* to 85* with a lights out bottom at 70* ish...I like to adjust my humidity to pot size...bit higher with small containers...lower with 5 to 7 gal...my range is usually 45% to 60%...humidity is a big deal when dialing a room, strain, pot size, lighting, nutes and medium....when you hit the sweet spot you can't help but notice...right everything down and don't be afraid to make changes...over time in the same space you will be automatic on adjustments.
Yes...operator error is a common thing with new growers that tend to force and rush the whole process before they learn the patience it takes to let the plant live it's full life cycle given it's conditions the grower supplies. Proper veg...only the nutes the plant needs and uses given it's eviroment supplied...and a complete life cycle wether it is 52 days or 125 days
Will the name of this future company be “Eunuch Seeds”?
