Re: New City Grower
ive not had any issues with fem seeds turning hermie,
the 24 hour dark period is just given once before starting 12-12, not something i do or have ever done, in flower go 12-12 till the end, make sure theirs is no light leaks during the dark 12 hours else it will go hermie,
that soil dont look the best to be fair, its its ground soil then you will need nutes as it has very little nurients in it unless you leave near peat bogs or some forest with good composted ground soil.
id be concerned about air getting to the roots with that soil, so i wouldnt over water with this soil as it might take a long time to dry out.
nice looking plants though, might be worth taking a clone from each and start growing it in good compost, that might give you much better results, but so far the plants look great, lst will really help with light penetration, id take clones if it was me and keep them for the next grow and try it in some good potting soil.
a lot of plants will hermie real easy if they get light during the dark period, to much or to little water, some plants take a lot to hermie and others take very little,
out of all the fem seeds ive grown only one has gone hermie on me on its own, basically fems seeds are produced from hermie pollen, they either use silver chemical or force a plant hermie to produce fem pollen, when i first started to make fem seeds i forced a plant to go hermie, i used the pollen and got seeds, i grew the seeds and these hermied at same time as i stressed the mother plant,
so what i do now is leave a plant in flower a few weeks longer and it produces banana type pollen sacs, i collect the pollen from these and pollenate a fem plant and that gives me fem seeds, so i guess it all depends what method was used, as long as their is no stress then it should not go hermie, so temps need to be good, water needs to be correct, not to much nutes, then you should be ok,
but by the looks of it you have got a nice healthy plant, that soil wont help much but nutrients will really pay off, if the plant grows well then id either take clones and use decent compost or id flower and reveg and transplant into some other soil,
SHE JUST DOESN'T SEEM TO BE DOING TO WELL. I'LL TRANSPLANT HER INTO A POT LIKE LAVERNE'S & TRY TO REPLICATE THE SAME GROWING CONDITIONS. MAYBE IT'S THE HEAT. WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A HEATWAVE RIGHT NOW.
