Hermie solution - confirmed!

[420freedme]

wondering if you followed the label then took clones from sterlized mom. say day 2O of flower you cut know hemie, that you reversed on day 1 and 1O and now on day 2O there are none, but its a plant you know from previous grow is hermied good by day 2O w/baby nanners.

so its a good mom now? i mean a clone is a exact copy, so the reverse clone siouldnt hermie? epigenetics would apply, but ?? ? im high.

weedhound, i used help_neededs hermie method before...rip and toss. I will try this if the need arises.

420...personally I wouldn't "trust" a plant that had a background that included any "relatives" that hermied. It's very true that if you use Reverse (and no continuous light leaks) your plant will not hermie but the genetics are still there. You're just changing their conditions for awhile.

Weedhound - It's been about 3 weeks since I used Reverse and installed blackout curtains to eliminate even the possibility of light leaks. If these gals go hermie now I can't imagine what it could be. I'm right at 30 days into flowering cycle and so far no bananas. Do you think I'm safe or am I not out of the woods yet?

Hey All,

I'm curious, if you have some probability of hermi's wouldn't it be a good practice to use Reverse as a preventative measure regardless of spotting any nanners?

Hi Huntley,

Sounds good so far. Light leaks (and I mean more than one....say three or four different occasions) are the worst thing so if you can avoid those you should be golden.

Rich that actually is the recommended way to use it. I spray all my stuff as directed on the bottle as a preventative and it works great! :thumbsup: The only thing I've seen REALLY break through the Reverse is continual light leaks.

Hi Weedhound,

Thanks for reply and confirming what I thought.. Too bad I didn't figure this out a little earlier! I got a hermi in my first grow that managed to spread some pollen around my box. Oh well, the next one will be better!!

It's possible I've had light leakage probs since day one and just didn't notice it until I got something more sensitive like White Widow. I mention this because I've noticed an overall improvement with everything else. Since we're discussing the benefits of Dutch Master's Reverse, does anyone know of something they make called Liquid Light? Seems to improve the plant's ability to use light more effeciently.

I heard about Liquid Light from Opie Yutts.....and have just started using it myself. My hydro guy says he has gotten rave reviews about it but I can't speak from personal experience....yet.

What exactly does it do weedhound?

Let me find Opie's thread on it....
