That's good to know. One of my hermies was a NYCD that has very solid genetics. The others (7 hermies total now) were BC Seeds Jedi 41's. I've only been growing for a year but I've had a perpetual Harvest going since last October. I've never grown the Jedi's before and I've never done a complete growing season outdoors. It's been quite an adventure and the harvests I'm getting are really beautiful so I'm digging it. It's still a drag to have to whack a 7' tall flowering plant that would yield half a kilo or more. I've still got a lot of them flowering so I'm still good to go bit I'm watching them like a hawk. They were all in #25 pots in an area that got pretty hot. I went ahead and painted the pots flat white, they are a lot cooler now when sitting in direct sun and I'm not having any more hermie problems.

Funny also.....I have allot of "smart pots" that are black and MY Plants LOVE the heat....Most peep's start out w/seed's that came from Hermie plants anyway ...then wonder WHAT went wrong...... Good Luck!!!! Pray for a "cooldown" (with RAIN) Ha Ha ...this is Colorado!!!:rasta:
Thanks for your feedback. It could be an anomalie on the NYCD and sketchy genetics on the Jedi. The monsoon has started down here in SW Colorado and the plants have grown/swelled noticeably over the last few days.

I love growing in Colorado. I just wish the outdoor season was longer.
