Can someone help me wire a 'lampholder'?
Looks like its going nicely! Your clone rooted great, thats your first time? Nice work! Glad you got the temps wrangled under control too. Sounds like the plan is working. Now, hook me up with some of those NYCD clones! ;)
In my experience I have found once a hermie, always a hermie. and if it is a hermie, just get rid of it (kinda like if you found out the girl you met last night at a bar has a dick). Not worth a shitload of hermied seeds in my next batch ya know, plus the headache/hassle of trying to remove em all. Thats why I pulled my AK48 a few weeks early :(. But if its only the one plant then you should be ok letting it finish.
And yes, I believe you can induce "hermification" by removing female flowers - anything that causes stress to the plant. Hermaphroditism seems to be a survival mechanism. Can you take some good pics of one before you rip it off next time?
Yellowing in the older growth is (somewhat) normal, and it doesn't look too extensive in your case. Looks like its a little light atrophied as well, which happens to the lower shaded branches. Just make sure you N her up next time you feed, or foiliar feed some N (if not flowering) and she'll be fine. Splashing concentrated fertilizer on her is not a good idea :) I like to swap my mothers out every 6-8 months or so, with the healthiest clone of the then current batch. Then you can either flower the 6 month old mommy in the chamber, or (as I'm gonna try this year) just put the old mommy outside and let her rip.
Looks like you are doing good - next time you take pics, take some out of the closet with normal lighting and show off them buds!

Yea, I suppose I will finish, and hurry up and start putting more ready to flower plants in there, I just need to get a potent strain to start cloning.

:*( I think I did it... I got some pics here, just got them now..

My god do I want to try an outdoor grow, I can't imagine what I would gain.
Yea, hopefully I will get a good strain, and then get good at the cloning vegging cloning flowering process.

Guess it's a Herm.
Buuuummmeerr..
I wonder if I caused the turn...probably..well..good lesson learned...don't bully the plant or force it to live in an unnatural environment.

Something that looks exactly the same...but has spawned pistils!:

ZOMG WTF...I am so confused.

Photobucket is working on their servers so they keep deleting the new pictures I upload and things keep getting lost, so I don't know how the pics will come out.
I will redo this post later, photof*cket is not working.

Yep thems nads :( bummer. .. maybe temps a bit high.. Although the herm gene is inbred, it might've hermie'd on you regardless of if the conditions were perfect.
Other than that, the leaves are nice and vibrant, healthy, no burn, great shade of green. Looks like good bud structure. I know that calyx LOOKS like a bannana, but look at both closely next to each other, you'll see a world of difference. Just keep on plucking them bannanas when you see them to stick it out for this one. I hope your mom/clone is not from this plant, because it might have the same reaction to flowering. :( get your friend to get you some clones asap!

I hear ya, I hope that one turned from the stress and extremely unstable growing conditions, rather than having genes that are totally unable to flower as a female in the general conditions I have them in.
I have one premo seed, which I think I'll plant now, if that turns male, would allowing cross-breeding really help me out? Would it make good weed.
Or would it just turn the bag-seed/middie plants I have into crappy bag-seed middie plants, that are only slightly different?
Yep. My friend (lucky he) is in Thailand right now, doing god knows what :rasta: , hopefully he'll be back and I won't forget to call him.
That diesel was mighty nice, very strange almost chemically but still funky smelling long buds that lookd almost bluish from the crystals.

Thanks to Tokudai, and good look to him on his future.
Latest update, does it look like it's the right size?

My buds have grown so much, the crystals are overflowing now. I'm sure it's not the best, but it's a great feeling to see those crystals in the morning.
