Hey all,

I know this subject has been brought up before, and yes, I've done plenty of searching through existing posts..

I'm happy to report I ended up with on the order of 10.5 oz of the 5 plants from my last grow. This was 8 oz of nicely trimmed bud, the rest is low buds and trim I'll use to make hash. From a lighting standpoint, this came out to about .42g per watt (600w with 8 sq. ft of space) Now, looking to improve yield and increase my harvest frequency.

Part of my strategy is to grow a couple of mothers for clone stock.. I made a trip to the Sensi Seed Bank and brought back:

White Widow, Blue Berries and White Diesel (White Label brand) all feminized. Being the dumb ass I am, I of course did most of my reading on feminized seeds after the fact.. Also picked up Black Domina and White Rhino (non-fem!!), so maybe not a total dumb ass.

With the tendency of the feminized seeds to go hermie here's what I'm thinking for a solution:

1. Wait for cooler weather to start the feminized seeds to avoid heat stress, both boxes are a bit hot right now (82-89 during the day with lights). Up in the great Pac Northwest, it'll be cooler in a month.
2. Once ready, flip to 12/12 and use Dutch Masters Reverse as a prophylaxis for hermies.
3. Re-apply Reverse in 10 days.
4. Clone the strongest for potential mothers.

I guess the major question I have is, will the hermie tendencies from a plant grown from feminized seed follow the clone? If so, I guess I'll be buying more Reverse.

I also have seeds from my first grow from 3 plants, all of which were very nice and appeared to be mostly indica. These were pollinated by a hermie sativa, also very nice (less the nanners ). Any comments on if I might be dealing with any stability issues from these beans?

The rest of my increased production strategy was to increase my grow space, so I added a second box for mothers/veg, using a 48" T-5 fluorescent pan fixture.

Peace!
