ok first off i had a mother or was gonna be one awhile back i switched to 12/12 to show sex so i could cut the males of the bunch and they showed and the 1 i kept the mother i switched it back to 18/6 well the ? is i looked at her today and she has alot of other growth around the white hairs/nodes is this normal?? or could it be a hermie? i'll try to get sum pics just wondering if it was normal since i had it in 12/12 then back to 18/6 and she was starting to flower.
and if it is a hermie can it be cloned back to a fem?? or will it always be a hermie?
A hermaphrodite plant will always pass on this genetic trait to their offspring, especially if you clone it because it is passing on identical genetics. Alot of time feminized seeds will hermie and so will shwag...
Only thing to do is see if she drops balls ( Pollen Sacs) and if so then I would yank it unless its KB becuase some feminized strains that are pretty good have hermie traits.
this strain is ice
Be aware that palerider forced the hermi with the screwy lighting.....I think any plant might do the same given the lighting conditions they had. I personally wouldn't hold it against a plant to hermie if I mess around with the lighting....in fact I'd pretty much expect it to so I wouldn't write the plant off based on that. I'd write the plant off if it hermied for no good reason......but I personally think screwing around with the lighting like that is a and having the plant hermie in response is a pretty common thing.
well thats what i was told to do is switch it to 12/12 to show sex, as i tried to let my others go and after 9 weeks in veg still no show of sex. so i was told to go 12/12 to show, and also is it not a common method to go 12/12 to show sex as i see alot of people give that advice on here i myself would rather have not done it that way but i don't want to wait 9+ weeks to show sex either. and i did'nt write off the plant i said what i did and asked if that was the cause simple enough.
Not at all defensive are you palerider? First decide if the growth is pollen sacks or new veg growth....then decide where to go from there. I'm afraid it's all part of the game when you play around with the plant's enviroment.
no but i can sense attitude lol
palerider - When you switch the plant back to 18/6 it is going to re-veg; which means it is going to go through a metamorphisis during which it will get all sorts of strange growth that hardly even resembles an mj plant.
A hermie plant just grows balls, it doesn't drastically change its appearance. If your plant has strange looking growth, and if you have changed the lights to 18/6, most likely what you are seeing is the re-veg growth. If this is the case, it'll take about 2 weeks for the plant to complete the re-veg and get back to normal.
Not very well, you can't. Weedhound is a sweetheart and was only trying to help.Quote:
