Help Hermies

[Fitzy]

Thankyou so much for your reply and help ... could you suggest a Strain that may be better ? And company ?

Unfortunately that trait is there now most quality breeders like dinafem and Humboldt seed organization fastbuds rocbud are all great and 1s I've used in some of my own breeding mephisto is also good but I've seen problems popping up more often then before but honestly 90% of strains are good quality so hard to go wrong.

What do you look for in a high? Rec? Med? Almost anything from Mephisto will rock the boat, dinfem, Fastbuds... I have a personal soft spot for sour stomper, enough so that I've begun working with the genetics. But I'm a heavy indica guy with the occasional sativa thrown in for outdoor activities.

When I'm looking at a new strain, I try and dig up all I can on the parents, what breeder the photo parent came from and then look carefully at the photo strain that it came from. Its unfortunate, but the gene is pretty wide spread, probably due to poor breeding practices early on in the indoor years. Sometimes you just have to work around it for that special cut.

Make sure no light leaks in your grow area when lights are off. That's a big stress factor

Autos, light leaks have no effect.

Really I didnt know that. Good to know. Thanks bud. I had photos hermie from a light leak but never autos.

I've had my share of photos toss a sack or two. Unfortunately, the majority of the popular strains tend to come from strains carrying the gene. And... now brought to autoflowering, brought the gene along. Autos, at least for me, herm if I mess with them too much during the transition period. But I have had one that was just a straight hermaphrodite once too... kinda interesting looking, a true half & half. There's a pic on here somewhere, I think the thread I was looking for a male for breeding.

Do you grow hermies out or chop em right away? I chopped mine all down when it happened right away all pissed. Lol not sure if I shudder chopped em or not. I read somewhere to chop it down so that's what I did and started over.

Sometimes you can just pick off the first flush of balls and the plants will finish life as female; other times they just keep throwing balls Chop Chop and use in salves.

Sometimes... if it's just a sack or 2 at the first or second internodes, due to stress, you can pic them and usually that's it. Other times they need to come out. Photo herms are instant cull.

Yeah all the plants were popping them up everywhere. I tried pulling some off when I noticed it and pollen came flying out. The fan blew it all over my room and everything had nanners coming out so I chopped em down
