Rubbermaid CFL bag seed grow

[Balkey]

Damn man, that sucks. I've never had a hermi, ever. It could be because I use store bought seeds/just get lucky with good genetics/the way I handle the ladies just gets er done. Did you do something during the growing process that could have stressed them? Light leaks?

Personally, I don't even TOUCH them or move them at all, except for when transplanting (even then I make that process as fast as possible and gentle). Probably just genetics though. Your next grow should be actual strains from a breeder. You have the process down enough to risk some money on beans.

If your 3rd one doesn't turn hermie, I wouldn't worry about the size. Sometimes the biggest yielders are the smallest ones.

As for your water, I have no knowledge at all about store bought water. I don't drink my tap water either (it's terrible) and just ph adjust it, and it does just fine. Besides maybe some lime build up (which I've never had noticeable deficiencies from) tap water IMO works just fine.

Good luck on your last lady. :stoned:

try picking the balls off and see if it produces any more. Mine threw a couple balls like that even though it was a clone from a pure female mother from stress i guess. I picked them off a week ago and haven't seen anything since. beautiful plants though man :thumbsup: i'll second what balkey said try and get some clones or some good seeds for the next run you definitely got the growin part down

Thanks guys for the responses, I already chopped the hermi plants didn't wanna risk messing up the one plant that survived. I do think it was stress that turned them because they were so crammed for elbow fighting for light and I moved them every few days to water and take some pics so I'm sure that didn't help. I know I could use stuff to fix the ph, but its just as easy to go down the street say I need 5 gal of 6.5-7 ph water and they have it ready lol. you guys have any suggestions on places that send to the middle of the USA? If I knew anyone that grew around me I'd ask for clones or seeds but I keep to myself when it comes to my habits and what not. I did start a list of things I'm going to be doing different next grow to make it go a little more smooth. Here is a pic of the lone survivor. My roommate said he thought he saw some balls forming on an alt node if so I'll try the pick off method and see what happens. :smokin: funny side note.. I didn't find out till today that my roommate took the top kolas and dried them while I was gone and smoked them.. he said he was high for like 30min after each bowl and it tasted horrible.. I almost fell over laughing.

Just finished with the watering.. Did a thorough search no balls which makes me . Had some browning on one leaf at the top but I think that was from the lights getting to close so I remedied that by raising the top a little. I also added 2 desk lamps in the bottom of the box. I used the 6500k lights because I saw some other cfl threads that mixed light colors during flowering and they had some nice results. I got a close up of top bud and it has some nice trich growth. Other than that things are back on track.

Ok so things went from being ok to horrible in a short amount of time.. I had to go out of town for a wedding I came back late last night and checked on them this morning it appears as the main exhaust fan died and the box has been hotter than Hell its self. They were being watered on a Bi-Daily basis, but my roommate didn't notice the fan not working. I'm overly concerned at this point that the plant is just going to die. These pics were taken just after watering I'm afraid to take it out of the box that it might be fragile and break. Any tips on what I could do to try and save it. The only leaves that are looking bad are fan leaves the bud sites all look amazing still. Any who keeping my fingers crossed and my vibe positive. :hippy:

Damn, I wanna know what happened. Did it die? Did you get some bud? Pretty good thread other than it doesn't have an ending...

So yeah I did get some decent bud from the one plant. I didn't take a wet weight, I'm taking it from the dryer box tonight and I'm going to get a dry weight. I'll post it and some pics a little later. But from the test run of it the other day, It is smooth with a mint like taste and a nice aroma. :jointsmile:
