First Grow - 2 Master Kush

[Weedhound]

Are you positive they are seeds? I'd really think you'd see some pods around....that surprises me. Yes, they could have hermied due to stress....(we have other things for you to buy for that.....) but ......you know...if they ARE seeds....they're female seeds unless you have a male around. Deja you may never have to buy another seed depending on how many there are.....)

I always thought that female seeds from a herm was just a myth?

Anyways, I poked one with my calibration screwdriver and it felt pretty solid. If it was just a pod, would it be somewhat stiff? I have had some weed with false pods and they were always kind of poofy and spongy. Many of them also have pistils coming out the tips. What do you think? Is there any way to tell for sure aside from taking the pod off the bud or waiting for the seed to become exposed?

[Weedhound]

No it's not a myth. BUT ...let me warn you, the feminized seeds you will get her may very well be MORE likely to hermie even than these. They have products you can spray on the plant at the beginning of flower to prevent hermies. I use it and it works great. But if you were going to try to use the seeds for BREEDING....you may well run into stability problems. To grow them for smoking (as I do) they are the bomb!! Master Kush female seeds no less. :thumbsup:

Its hard to say without seeing them myself....even then....I've been fooled as far as some of my calyxes (seed pods) looking very swollen and I've sworn there had to be seeds in there. But never have had it happen....it's always just resin.

That said, could be, could be......:jointsmile:

What do the insides look like if they are resin? I popped some with some tweezers and they were filled with some kind of liquid and the inside was bright green. I think they are immature seeds. If I popped them, would they stop focusing on producing seeds and produce more THC?

My partner made some peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies from the three dead plants and they turned out pretty nice. Knocked me out pretty good this evening.

Also, I'm interested in the anti-herm spray. I'll have to use it on my next crop and see how it goes. Hopefully, they will be a lot less stressed since I *sorta* have the hang of this whole hydroponics thing now.

I've never seen the inside of a calyx...(seed pod) with seeds in it so can't really tell you. I think the more you hassle the plant the more it's going to hermie on you. You wouldn't want someone hanging around with a big pair of tweezers would you?

Let me find a link to the Reverse....the stuff works GREAT.

Ha ha on the cookies....there's no END to the fun with cannabis..

Dutch Master Reverse from 4 hydroponics.com by Growco Indoor Garden Supply

You will want to use the Penetrator along with it...the reverse itself you use full strength but the Penetrator you only add a little so it lasts forever.

Follow the directions carefully (apply on day 1 and day 10 0f flower) and you will have no herms (unless you really screw with plant and the light etc....) This stuff works GREAT!

I think I have seen that stuff at my local hydro store, so I will have to pick some up.


I think one of the final three plants is dying off. It is the one that the bottom third or so died from the nitrogen deficiency. I broke one of the branches and it was crispy and just snapped right off. The rest of it was going well, but this morning the leaves were all shriveled and it looks pretty bad. The roots are also very black and soggy and are not looking very healthy. At least this one made it to 6.5 weeks so it might be worth smoking. Its covered in trichromes at least. Looks like my only yield will be from the two beast plants that survived the over nuting. Hopefully my next grow is more successful.

I'm sure your next grow will be much better. I've made every mistake in the book and I'm still growing things so I'm sure you will too. Now you have an idea of what to expect so you can be a LITTLE less nervous about things and have a little more fun with them in your second grow.

Have a cookie on me.

[dejayou30]

Well, I cut 'em down on Tuesday at day 53. I checked the trichromes on three different leaves from various areas of the plant at 60x and they were about 10% amber so I chopped em for the more cerebral high. I was gonna harvest slowly but decided I was too impatient. They are slow drying in a closet at 68° and 40% humidity as we speak and I will be starting my second crop tomorrow! Yay!

Pics when you can! Congratulations on a succsesful harvest. :thumbsup:
