Quick update. Dropped the PPFD following aqua’s guidance. things seem to be coming along. I had to order some new tubing and a couple more blumat carrots. They should be here within the next few days. Couldn’t come sooner cause I’m tired of hand watering!

Chugging along. Can’t believe the growth rates in Coco vs. Soil. I have a couple of runts in here and need to decide if I take them forward or replace with a few clones.

After asking myself the same question and keeping them and then having the runt finish with the nicest buds… I learned that i will never count a runt out. That wont always be the case but only one way to know.

Your plants are looking great man

For sure. On the current run I have going I had one cultivar that just didn't want to cooperate. She was healthy and green but just didn't really grow much. About 3 weeks in she just blew up like roots hitting water in RDWC.

I took a cut off of her and she's showing the same characteristics in the mom tent. Very slow growth but she's healthy.

Don't count them runts out.

+1

some of my runts have turned out to be the best phenos of the bunch, not by size or yield but every other metric for sure 🤙

Looking good @Nesta
 
Ok truthfully!

I grew a few plants from seed a long time ago. Sharks Breath. The got pushed around by some giant white widows and they got so crowded I was going to pull the little freaks.

Still her favorite to this day over 100 strains later. Tiny little buds all fugly. Best smoke ever.

These are fems im guessing? I guess fems cause you say it hermed.
My current run of fems, (real sour okie and triangle kush okie from tengu) shot balls all over the place for the first 3.5 weeks of flower. Plants are turning out amazing, but i didnt enjoy the daily cleanup.

These are regs, but on 18/6 lighting. Shouldn’t be throwing anything just yet.

Nice plants you got there I’m late as usual but I’d grow that girl

Those were reg seeds and I would’ve kept the male, but not one that’s throwing balls this early in veg. If one of the others turns to be a male further down the road, I would likely keep it.

This is what males will do even in veg sadly..I’ve had them from week 4 ..your nxt run you will b able to put in extras ..those solo cups don’t take up much room..I’m thinking bout doing some regs nxt grow.I’ll prolly put them in a little bigger pot just so the roots don’t get compacted too much..they really surprise me how well and how long you can keep them in tiny pots..

Sorry to hear this. That is just a case of pollen chucking and grabbing cash from an unsuspecting purchaser. I have already seen this clown talk about taking clones from mothers to prevent hermies. This is another joke as well. Again sorry for your experience!

I also have testers as well that I only charge shipping and a commitment to grow em and take photos and tell me how they smoke, do not vault or resell them. I totally get money being tight...going back to college in my 30s has me in that boat wondering if its worth the cost.

the only time I've seen a difference in that was from super thin leaf heirloom types. where the seed mom wants to throw some bananas but the clone wont, but I also think that's more to do with sexual maturity of plants and maintaining health for longer periods of time. Alot of truly thin leaf stuff wont trigger until its big, so that first run in flower could be 16 -20 weeks, but from clones pulled off that mom the time can be more in the 12 week range. but in general.... herm is herm, if it herms once, it most certainly can, and likely at some point, will herm again. that has been my experience anyway....and I've popped and ran and overseen the running of....more than a few lol seeds. Some things at least do the sterile herms - like the chem d cut I got from hazeman, indoors especially, some runs she would banana up all over, but never would find any seeds. Had a dog Kush cut that was like that as well. I've also seen a handful of missed bananas fully seed out the tops of a 100' greenhouse lol. nature is crazy
