Just a little word of caution, feminized seeds don't give a 100% guaranteed female ratio, you still need to sex the plants once they're on the 12/12 cycle, and keep a close eye on the feminized one throughout flowering, they're notorious for turning hermy.
Hey, what do you mean by once putting them into flower i have to sex them? and they might turn into a hermie? I've taken out the thai weed and put it in another room, the white widow is int he room by itself now with no other plants, its on 12/12 now.. is there anything special i should do apart from leave it grow? what did u mean by sexing the plants, and how could it turn into a hermie if there 100% femminized seeds taht i paid like $80 for?
Thanks, Peace.

what does hermie mean? Newbie here.. don't know much about anything
thats the best grow i have seen from a 20 watt at 27 days...good goob:)
as for whats a hermi...a hermi a plant that has both male and female flowers.
Keep Growin
A hermie is a "hermaphordite", meaning that the plant will produce both female (pistils) and male (stamens) flowers. A little botany lesson here. Buddha is a dioecious plant, meaning that one plant will generally produce either a male or female parts or flowers. So, as one of us noted, the plants are notorious for switching or becoming hermaphroditic. Hope this helps out a little better.
Peace
i have a question about hermies. what happens? does it pollenate itself or something? does it even bud? are they useless plants or what?
A kannabis plant has both male and female flowers. The male flowers will release pollen and the female flowers will receive the male pollen. The female flowers will then grow seed. Yes it will grow buds with seed. Useless would be a matter of opinion. The general rule is the seed will grow kannabis plants with both male and female flowers. Kannabis plants that are not seed less are not as potent as well.Quote:

refering to the plant in the pics under the coke can light thingy, are u sure that its a female cause it looks a lot bigger than the one next to it. Males mostly grow bigger than females and not as nuggety. Also u can polinate one flowering female plants branch with a male plant to produce seeds for next season. (make sure the female u polinate is seperated from any others). U dont want seed all through ur feamales cause u wont get much bud once u have extracted the seeds from it.
grow on peoples :p
