3 blueberry seedlings

Damn, gettin closer to the end haha. Those plants sure looks like they were worth the time. I'm considering cloning now though, I don't like the idea of hermies at all. Even if buds still are potent I don't want hermies. That's just the way I am . I'm not saying they turned hermie because they were feminized but I just rather avoid all possibilities. But I'd be happy to have your plant seeded or not haha they look gorgeous :stoned:

Orangeman.....look into a product called Reverse made by DutchMasters. Works excellently against hermies.....I speak from personal experience. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

OK, so this REVERSE is sprayed on in the first couple weeks of flowering, RIGHT? And you do this EVERY time you flower, as a preventative measure, right, not a reactive measure? Am I correct? I know nothing of this process, obviously...but I will soon, I hope.

Wow...I might still end up cloning though due to the fact that it just seems easier than starting from seed if you already have a viable mother. But that Reverse stuff makes me smile . I'm gonna get some and if I ever get a hermie I will test it out. Btw how long does plants have to be exposed to light during the dark hours before they start to react to it? I had to go down stairs earlier and I used a flash light to look at the plants and look at humidity. It only took me about a minute.

Orangeman imo....you are pushing the line with that kind of thing. You never know which time will be the time they say "'The World Is Ending" and start hermie-ing instead of "boy, there's that guy with the flashlight again...he never lets us sleep"

My sad story is this....my first grow had 15 or so viable female plants.....four hermied (or was it five?) due to various reasons...all stress related.

My hydro guy recommended Reverse.....Fog it is used as a preventative and you use it as foliar spray on day 1 and day 10 of flower. Including this grow I have had 17 females since that first hermie experience and not a single hermie in any other them so far. While obviously it's better not to stress your plants despite my good intentions I manage to do at least one doozy every grow including overpruning, overnuting, undernuting, the molasses experiment that burned the plants and the fungus spray debacle on this grow. Still not a banana to be found....ever. It's said to be 95% effective in preventing male flowers and the 5% male flowers that could appear will positively be sterile.

Straight from the horses mouth.....my hydro guy. :thumbsup:

Yeah I know Weedhound lol. I'm honestly not trying to go in there when they should be resting but I probably wont be over here the whole week and I needed to see how they were doing . I only bothered them once in flowering which was today, also today makes week 1. Friday I should have pics.

Thanks, WH, pretty much what I thought, but wanted to hear it from someone who had experience with it. Thanks. Definitely something to stock up on.

Hey, O-man, some people who just can't resist going in during the dark period for whatever reason (curiosity or just because they can't work on them during day) put a green light in the flowering room and work from that. Apparently that is supposed to not be "seen" by the plants, therefore not affect them. Just something to think about. Not sure about how true it is. Sounds logical, but...who knows.

Yeah Fog I heard about that. If those green lights work with just green regular incandescents then I might buy one for my little lamp light that I have in the room that I used to turn on during the vegetative stage when I wanted to go in there in the dark. I'm going to clean out my room after this grow is done because I'm really considering sectioning off my room so I can have clones. Due to my situation I'll probably set up one section off for clones and use that to immediately flower and see what sex I have. When I find out I'll take more clones from the plants and kill off the males and flower the female mother and later on flower the clones. I don't have any room to keep a mother alive for as long as I'd like. Oh and one question. Does mother plants suffer if they become root bound? I mean if I'm just using it for cuttings I don't guess it'd be affected would it?
