Good job dh..... Good luck the rest of your run......d:rastasmoke:
Wow is right! They look great.....especially for a first grow! Good work dill. Keep it up. :thumbsup:
Got a hermie :(
Checked the plants today and one of em had balls all over it. Fortunately they were confined to the small budsites in the undergrowth. After picking through them with tweezers for an hour, I said the hell with it and started cutting the whole shoots off. What's it gonna do, hermie on me?
I think that all of the male flowers were immature, but some had split into quarters. Does this mean that they dumped pollen? I didn't see any, but that doesn't mean that there wasn't any. Look at the pics and tell me if I'm gonna have seeds...
These plants haven't had any light or heat stress. I had a pH problem and had to repot last week. Was this enough to make one grow dicks? Or is this proof that feminized seeds suck?
I guess I'll have to be more diligent with my nanner check from now on. On the bright side, I have enough immature bud to make a joint. Think they have THC yet? There were quite a few trichomes on a few of them. Gonna taste like shit, but I'm gonna try them tonight. Dehydrated immature green bud and leaves. Yumm.
I was right about one thing, the taste was pretty bad. But it was much stronger than I expected. It caught me by surprise. I really didn't expect anything because the plants have only been producing buds for 2 1/2 weeks. It took nearly 10 minutes from the first hit to feel anything. I was on the fourth hit when it started and had a few moments of anxiety. After that passed, I had a very nice trippy high. I even had a few closed eye visuals. Then I got the munchies and then I went to bed.
I guess I'm pretty pleased. It was every bit as strong as the stuff sold around here as "good shit". I can only imagine what it's gonna be like when it's ripe and cured. I'm a lightweight, so I'll probably have to be careful with it :pimp:
Get yourself some Reverse from Dutchmaster to prevent hermies. Could be stress from your issues but usually there is some sort of light leak coming through so if you can climb inside from your plants point of view and check for leaks then do so asap. Even something as small as the teeny lights on your timers, dehumidifier and/or surge protectors can be enough light to mess them up.
Yep, some of those have opened and dumped pollen. One good thing.....if you like this strain any seeds that may come from your grow will be female themselves. WW is know to hermie easily.......have never grown Skunk so can't say about that strain.
check out an old thread called "Hermie solution confirmed" I believe in the search function. Tons of hermie info in that thread.
Thanks Weedhound! Coming to my rescue again, eh? That was a good read, I'm sold on Reverse now.
Pretty sure there is no light leak. I've crawled in there myself, long enough to get my eyes adjusted. No leaks. I did have a power failure during "night" that caused my timer to get off by 18 minutes. I wonder if that did it?
I'm not terribly upset about getting seeds though. I wont have to buy anymore, and I'll have more than enough smoke for my needs. I just hope some bud escaped pollination.
How much pollen is in a ball anyway? I had 3 or 4 that were open. Is that enough to get all of my buds? That would suck.
Dill.....I honestly cannot say how nuch you would need to pollinate a crop with. I would do the Reverse at least once....even this late in your grow and Rock Steady will swear it stops "nanners" in their tracks. As long you as drying your plants very well before you turn your lighing back on there should be not be any last ing affects. I personally would not spray it on my plants after, say, the fourth week in bloom TOPS and only if I had seen nanners on the plant, (as you have) and when using itturned off the lighting until I made sure the buds, branches and leaves are thorough dry by applying a light but constant fan to the wet plants amd checking them over for wet spots very carefully.
The more "inbred" your seeds get (self-pollinating or "selfing") each generation of plants get less and less stable and you tend to get end up with seedlings AND grown plants with lesser immune systems and just generally do not thrive and/or yield as well as do many stable and carefully selected seedlings that you pay you hard eaned $$'s for. Something to think about. Sometimes freebie seeds are terrific.....but have their own issues as well (such as again.....hermieing easily due to stress in future babies as well.) I have found third generation "selfed" seeds about 50% stable compared to 90-100% from my normal seed company.....just my personal experience.
WH, you got me to thinking about light leaks. I haven't checked the closet for leaks since I installed my exhaust fan. So I got my old night vision scope out, removed the plants, got in and shut the door. After a few minutes I saw a faint amount of light coming from the pvc exhaust duct. Way too dim to see with the unaided eye. After some investigating, I found that the light was coming from a street light shining through the gable vent in the attic. My fan is directly in front of the gable vent, connected to the closet by four feet of pvc pipe.
Then it dawned on me. I did some work in the attic about 10 days ago and had the attic lights on. And guess what? The hermie is sitting directly underneath the exhaust vent. I think I found the problem. Doh!
If I could edit my first post, I would put this info under Item #3.
Now that that's solved, do you recommend using DutchMaster Penetrator along with Reverse? The propaganda on their website says "You must always use Dutch Master Penetrator with this product".
I may have to wait until next grow to spend any more money. Although this grow is mostly for my wife's medical benefit, she would most likely strangle me if I keep spending money. Getting strangled hurts.
The pic is of my exhaust setup.
I feel like I've been on an episode of CSI :D
