You can try to stabilize the SLH by crossing it back against itself, especially if that 1 test plant seems OK. :thumbsup:
Hey Oldmac,

Good advice and my primary plan. The Reverse and Penetrator I have is a couple of years old, but never opened so I'm not overly worried about shelf life.

As a rule on new seed plants, I always take a few cuttings prior to flipping incase she turns out to be "The One!".. In this case I'll just flip one at a time, especially since these sativas can get so frickin' tall and wide. When I first started playing with them, I flipped 4 at once.. 2 x AH, 2 x SLF. Of those, one SLH grew above my lights and was over 7', killed it for the greater good of the room. Then the 2 AH showed their true selves, which we've been discussing; the other SLH is the one I described earlier (10+ oz). Needless to say, I've learned that in the style I grow, no more than 2 sativas in the room at once.

Only downside I see in this approach is I'll never really know if I get a stable female from one of the crossed seeds. If the results are good, I may have to flip one without Reverse to see.. if it goes south, I'll just kill it off..

Thanks for jumping in on this thread, I always trust and respect your advice! Glad to hanging around again!! :jointsmile:

Farmer Rich Reviewed by Farmer Rich on . Do hermi traits follow pollen? Hey all, Long time no post! Here's my delima.. I had a fem Amnesia Haze go hermi (severely) and it pollinated a femmed Super Lemon Haze. Needless to say, I have a bunch of seeds as a result. I've recently started a few of these seeds and was curious what my chances may be of getting a stable female from the cross of these two plants? Opinions please. Peace, Farmer Rich Rating: 5
