Super excited for this grow! This is my very first M/F photo run, previously growing autos exclusively. Ever since I tried some 'French Toast Crunch' flower by FireBros, I knew I needed to get my hands on a genetic with the same supposed cross (Secret Cookies x Kush Mints). The flavor and effects were surreal, with flavors of toasted cereal, very similar to french toast crunch or cinnamon toast crunch lol.
Germination was a breeze! Soaked the beans in RO water and hydrogen peroxide for 48 hours. These beans took the longest to crack, but all 5 had taproots after 48 hours of soaking. The photos are another 2 days after planting gently in coco.
Two of the five seedlings seem to be crawling away from the light, so i ended up turning them down to 20% power @ 48in above the seedlings.

SCKM#1 is really growing weird. I dont think the light is necessarily the issue. I carefully removed the shell in hopes that itll fix whatever is happening. I also dug underneath the long taproot and essentially planted it deeper and filled in with coco on top and around the long root. Im hoping this seedling finally starts sprouting towards the light like its siblings.
The rest of the seedlings are chugging along and starting to grow their first sets of leaves! It seems that they are really happy based off their root system developement, even on the seedlings that originally were growing sideways and exposing their taproots.

Grow Questions
Hotcrossbunsstarted grow question 3 years ago
I need help! One of my plants has developed a crazy mosaic pattern on most new growth. There has also been slightly twisted leaf growth. Does this look like a deficiency or Tobacco Mosaic Virus aka TMV?

Don't look to be TMV but instead genetic trait. She seems to be healthy, maybe just a little overwatered. Discolourations apart the green tone is right and don't suggests to add more fertilization. if I were you a I would give a check to the Ph and wait, plant is growing anyway. Cheers

Day12 of flower with a couple female preflowers. This pheno has several fan-leaves growing from where the preflowers should be. These growths look scarily close to male preflowers.
Hermie or weird growth?

I would agree that is some funky growth, It almost looks like you have a male ball with tiny leaves growing on the edges of it. I would keep a close eye on them. Fingers crossed you see a white hair pop out of them signaling they are female.
But with the short stem behind the ball it makes me think male. The last pic where there is no stem looks female without a hair.

Please tell me my eyes aren't playing tricks on me. These are bananas inside of a calyx right? Or pistils coming from a pollen-sac..? Is this the ultimate Hermie? Cuz she/he almost fooled me. Wtf?

this is rather common no necessarely need to worry about it.
Banana inside the bud happen sometime near the end of flowering, this is a process know as rhodelization an ultimate effort by the plant to pollinate herself and reproduce. Most of the time such banana don't get mature enough to drop some pollen before you harvest, even though they drop some pollen plant won't have enough time to produce mature seed before harvest and in anycase trichrome maturation is advanced enough not to impact significantly your harvest potency.
other hermie case is the plant growing a few pollen sac and banana the first few weeks of flowering then stopping afterward and normally producing actively calix and pistilafterward.
In this case just touching the pollen sac before they open up and they fall easily
if you spot them early and fear about pollination you can always remove them safely with some tweezer before they get mature and open up.
finnaly if your plant don't stop producing more actively male flowers than calyx and pistil after the 4-5 first flowering weeks it could be a rare severe hermie case you'll have to rip the plant

Pity about the hermies man. At least the other girls came out unharmed. Hope they do better for you pal

@gottagrowsometime, appreciate that. I kindof expected a few hermies, but definitely not 100%.
That is very true about my other ladies though. None of the pollen sacs ever opened🙏

These are regs. U just got unfortunate on males. I wouldn't ditch surf tho. Their gear is top notch.

@Visions, I actually got these plants pre-sexed via testing and all of them turned out to be female. Im still keeping a close eye on the possible hermie but I honestly think its just a weird plant with weird preflowers. Even the female preflowers with hairs are on mini-stems.
Update: I cut open the more-mature growths and found bananas.....

My Afghani #1 Auto showed some slightly different growth early on in flowering but I think its turned out all to be female. Your questioning is making me want to go back and double check.

@eurorack, its always good to be extra cautious. Ive been checking these ladies multiple times daily for pollen-sacks lol

don't spread the hermie fear, most hermie case could be handled easily without a single seeds in the end. check my "gorilla cbd" week 5 6 and in the end for exemple.
i have a few males flowers here and there pretty often and never been bothered with some seeds when harvest come.

@HerbalEdu, I appreciate the answer and it makes sense.
If I had the space, I probably would have tried to keep up with these instead of chopping them. Ill be holding onto the remaining beans for down the road when I have the space.
I could tell the plants would have produced amazing flower, even at day18, but I dont trust myself to keep up with half the tent being herms. I feel like lots of exotic genetics are tedious to take care of because of the hermie-traits.
Error on my part for choosing to run hermie-prone genetics while being a novice and not having a seperate space for them... It still hurts that I decided to chop them. Live and learn I guess. Did I want to keep them? Yes lol

@Hotcrossbuns, just deleted and answered your question again with more details., i grow 8 plant in sog 6 l pot 90x60x180 and it's not rare i have a few hermie per grow session depending strain , it's fairly easy to deal with them in most case if you keep a watchfull eye , but severe hermie case can always happen as well then you'll have to rip the plant or grow it in another space than all the others.

@HerbalEdu, I just cant keep up with four hermies throwing pollen and its almost impossible to check them and remove 100% when theyre crammed in an SOG.
I really dont want any seeds, at all. These herms were really starting to throw balls. I didnt catch the other three hermies until i got up close and personal today.
