Oh noes, did my little girl go hermie?

[Gundari]

well I went into to check on my girl today since it marks about the middle of her 3rd week in flower and i noticed something that made me really sad. I think she's growing balls ; ;. So is there any real point to growing a hermy? Ive read that the smoke usually gives you a headache if its a hermy. I don't really want genetically unstable seeds. So I'm just wondering if I should just go ahead and cull it now and start over.

That looks all male to me.

That's a full on herm. I see pistils and LOTS of balls... IMHO that plant is a total loss. You'll never be able to keep up with picking off the nanners on that one.

[Gundari]

So thats two votes for kill it.

figured thats what i'd have to do. Oh well such is life. I'll just start again and not make the same mistakes.

[klondike_bar]

definitely a kill less you actual want it for seeds. id watch out, cuz its looking ready to burst

[klondike_bar]

put in in a public flowerbox

[Gundari]

Its been killed. It was a sad moment but i was able to share it with two friends.
I am depressed that my first grow did that but I know exactly what caused it and I will be sure to avoid making that mistake again next time. I also got a good look at how developed its root system was and i was extremly surprised. I'll be able to put a grow log up for my second grow, got a few nice indica seeds from my brother, hopin one of them will sprout.

What caused it?

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I FANTASIZE daily about Stinky looking at a photo of me and saying "I see LOTS of balls"!!! Oh Stinky. Whadaya say? ;)

[klondike_bar]

........what? you got more than two? or take pics with naked men?

on topic: i dont know why u killed it, as it sounds like it was your only plant.... better to get something than nothing....


i still say use it in pranks. and frame one of its leaves (press it of course or itll curl)

[Gundari]

I suffocated the plant for a few days on accident with neem oil, Thats what caused it.

[GDS StonerBoy]

dude i wouldnt have killed it but thats just me! Atleast you would've had some smoke instead of none. And i smoked schwag all the time before i started growing and i dont believe i got many headaches. And i know alot of that shit is hermies! I grew out bagseed's several times before i started growing and i had high rates of females and some of them went hermie on me. So i know alot of them self pollenated! Whatever though the deed is done already!

[stinkyattic]

That is NOT a plant you would EVER want seeds off.

Hm... there IS actually a pic in the 'sexy pic' thread that I saw this morning and was like, yo, I see lots of balls!!! Ehhhhh... can you say bananahammock? :D

[Weedhound]

I think Gundari's statement about not wanting genetically unstable seeds explains why he killed it......;)

[Gundari]

Thats one of the reasons.

Mostly though I killed it because I swore off smoking (well mostly if my brothers in town I'll buy some and smoke with him for nostalgia / relationship rebuilding reasons) until I grew something I would have been proud to smoke, I would not have been proud to smoke that. I even entered into this grow (it was my first) fully prepared to walk away with nothing, and even after killing the plant I'm still not walking away with nothing. I've gleaned SO MUCH knowledge from this grow, so much so that as long as I can get a female out of this next batch of seeds I've started germing I'm sure I'll be able to grow myself some nice buds.

[Gundari]

Hmmm suppose this probably would have been the appropriate forum to post it in in the first place.

[Weedhound]

Thats the way to look at it Gundari....I've definitely learned the most from the problems I've had and not the successes.. :thumbsup:
