It's like a scene from the Great Escape in your pots as usual Medgrower!!! brilliant

Thanks for the compliments bro! I sure hope I get plentiful harvest from this one. Smell is good and those buds look like they are going to be yummu!

Consider yourself lucky bro.
Looks lovely.

Im running 3 of these - day 35 i realise that 2/3 are hermi....
Beyond gutted. Its the third DP grow in a row that have Hermied on me.

WOW. That is some seriously bad luck there bro. I've been doing DP seeds for years now and never I have gotten a hermie from any feminized seeds. I hear that is a very rare possibility but to have that high occurance is beyond anything that I have ever heard. Do you have any grow diaries where this has happened? I'd like to take a look.

 

[dirtbag]

sadly no diary bro.
im a watcher rather than a shower....

I'm beside myself to be honest...
It can't just be bad luck for me- three DP grows in a row all Hermie??
Seems almost improbable.
Ive bleached my space. Kept a super tight eye on all the variables (temp/light/air/Soil)

Salt in the wound- just had a double look at my final ANQ- it also has seeds growing in the main Calyx's.
3 out of three down the pan??

Almost tempted to give up.

I am so sorry to hear about that bro. I won't lie it sounds almost impossible to be true. Like the opposite of winning lottery or something. I used to not do any grow logs myself, just being a reader like you said. But after giving it a go and gotten so much good advice from my fellow growers here I am convinced it is really good way to improve your skills and knowhow. I would be glad to join in to your growlogs too if you deside to start one.

Honestly, to me it sure sounds like that there is some yet unknown variable that is causing your plants to hermie. Residue bleach that stresses them out? Otherwise we all would be having hermies from autofems by DP more or less the same rate. Since this happens to you much more than anyone else, it is simply logical to assume some enviromental factor. I feel you on that. It must be frustrating as hell. Have you tried other strains by other seedbanks? Do they work better for you? I don't mean to imply that you are doing anything wrong here but just try to problemsolve this rather unusual problem. Belive me, anything you can do wrong I propably have done it at some point.

Hey MedG.

Thanks for taking time out.
Appreciate the thought man.

I know- the maths involved in this suggest it has to be something else...
I guess the big one for me is that i grow in a loft. After my last balls up i bleached the Grow area as much as possible- but the reality is that there is a big space up there that i just couldn't clean (it's full of dust and would take me more than a week to clean. Just not possible.

Bearing this in mind - I'm thinking maybe my space is just unusable now. I bleached and rinsed my sealed area as best i could- but the reality of Pollen is that its so minuscule - almost impossible to be 100% sure its all sterilised.

Kinda lost at this stage.
Wondering wether i should try one more run with another seed company or just hang up my growing gloves for now.

Its enough to make me wanna move house !!!

That really sounds like unusable space for a grow. Back when I had a tent I did do pollination in it once and after cleaning it I successfully grew next crop without issues so I wouldn't think it is that bad of a problem to have around. How about you build yourself an isolated tent or grow cabinet in your loft with active air intake through some robust HEPA -filter? I have active carbon filters on my growspaces now but in future I am planning on doing a fully filtered air intake that protects my plants from any contaminant. Well.... most of them. Pollen and cat fur atleast.

 

[dirtbag]

Hey Man- Thanks for the idea. I'll have to look into HEPA filter. Sounds like a good tip.

Im really not up for a return to street weed. Just such crappy stuff and crazy expensive these days. Ive been self reliant for 3/4 years. Would be a massive step backwards for me.
I'll have to stew on this for now and work out my next move.

Defeat isn't an option- but if i do another run and it goes wrong again??? I really might have to call it quits?
Dam an Balls!!! There everywhere

Thanks again bro- i appreciate the thought in a rough moment!!

Hey MedG.

Can you do me a favour bro.
Since your growing out a ANQ- could you pull of a Calyx and see if its totally empty?
All the Calyx's on my main stems have little tiny green balls inside (which I'm pretty sure are unripe seeds).
But have been reading some mixed information and wanted a second opinion from someone with the exact strain ??

Many thanks dude- hope alls well in your garden!!

No unripe seeds in the calyx's here bro. I will push this baby for several weeks still I guess so I will check later if there is any developement. Sometimes I get couple of seeds there and there myself too but just couple.

DAY 59

pH 5.9
EC 0.8
RH 45

Leaves are showing signs this plant is finished and it would be time to harvest. So does the pistils. I checked the tricomes and I see some ambers. Honestly, I feel quite disappointed here with this grow and I do not know what went wrong with it yet I feel I cannot judge this strain with just one grow and one phenotype under my belt. Hmm.. I took the slow start as a possible strain specific property but it just simply might be that it got stunted somehow and never recovered. BAH. I will just give this baby a week of plain water and call it quits. What buds I can see though they look super super super frosty and potent. Lets give that to this strain atleast. Might make nice bedtime vape for my wifey if nothing else.

 

[dirtbag]

Looks pretty crazy med!
Like a bit of a mutant ninja turtle!

I think it gotta be pheno related - my three looked nothing like yours at all- they had the DP standard structure you'd expect !!

Bet it's a knock out smoke though!
Respecticles !!
