I want to love these plants, but unfortunately both plants hermied. There was a circuit breaker trip and they were with minimal light for a few minutes ~F35, so maybe it was that. I ran 2 plants and both were different phenos. They grew vigorously with thick stems and large fan leaves that seemed really resilient (I beat them up a bit). I didn't notice the hermie until I found seeds in my buds on F52 and that's when I pulled them. I didn't want to pollinate the rest of my flower room.
There is a lot of lost potential for me with this strain. Harvesting it this early and pollination lost me quite a bit of weight and I ended up with a lot of trim/small buds for edibles.
The Indica pheno was more mature (still early harvest) and had ~5% amber trichomes. The high is a spacey body high. It smells extremely diesely and dank.. great smell.
The Sativa pheno was about 80-90% milky trichomes and 0 amber. It is a more heady high that gives some energy and is uplifting. A less developed smell, more citrusy.
I plan to eventually run this strain again to see if I can redeem myself!

@AstroBoy, Thank you!

you sure about the circuit thing? I dont believe 5 minutes of lights-off can cause this to happen.. but I dont know. Just saying, maybe it has a different reason

@@Spaceman, It was extremely frustrating for them to do that.. guess that's why the seeds were on sale π or the strain is just more prone to that... But I am still learning as I go and having a great time growing.
Thanks and god luck to you too!

@@motaman311,
hmm.. sounds kind of plausible but on the other hand, i mishandle my plants so much, move them in and out of the tent, sometimes they just stand 2 hours in the bathroom with only some daylight etc. Never had this happen to me..
Good luck π

@@Spaceman, That night I checked for any light leaks and I have 2 other plants in the tent and they didn't/haven't hermied. It's been about a month since then. Not sure what else could have caused it and the time fits. The light was out for less than 5 minutes and I opened the tent up immediately, so really it was only 10 seconds of almost nothing, then a few minutes of natural light with the tent open.
I thought about the late defoliation causing the hermie, but I didn't remove THAT much and the back plant I barely touched and that hermied too. The stress combo maybe.. π΅. I could be convinced it was something different, but the plant before the Chems were fine and the plants after are fine so far π.. we will see π

too much light?

motaman311commented6 years ago
@@grzesiek, Thanks for your comment and advise. For sure I am going to check light distances and heat. It is possible it is the light distance, but I even raised it 5 inches on day 31 cause I was nervous about the front plant getting too close. Also the pistils on the plant aren't showing the typical frizzy/brown signs of light burn/stress and it didn't start turning stressed like this until after the roots were left out :(.
I burned it during the first few weeks too, so it is possible that makes her more susceptible to light burn/damage now. Ha now you got me thinking even more. Thanks! π

@@grzesiek, I don't think so. I left some of the root ball out around 10 days ago for a day I think after the res change π, so it did a lot of funky stuff to it. I have my light about 25 inches above the one in the back and it isn't set too high.

@Puffer_Bill, Thanks! It didn't turn out nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. I am more upset at the lost potential with these babies. Live and learn.. turn off AC when I run the vacuum ππ

@Johnnyb__blazin, Thanks. I wound up turning it into a flower tent because I was having so many issues with the humidity/temps. The coolers work pretty well too. I haven't had to use a frozen water bottle yet (lol) and the water temps stay between 65-68F.

Take the LARF.......LITTLE AIRY FLUFFY....if its frosty......get a trim bin...and chop it up then shake the trim bin.....you should get maybe 3-5 grams of WHITE POLLEN TRICHOME HEADS....like 3-500$ worth of NEARLY PURE THC....well worth a trim bin cost....ONLY TRIM BIN DOES IT....
I put it in the corner of a baggie...tie it off...leave it....did nothing no pres...no temple ball....BUT YOU CAN.....now im smoking that
WHITE POWDER....IN THE GSC DIARY PHOTO...FOR HARVEST....I think I reposted that.....YEAH ITS FUCKING AWESOME....
I PAID $45 for the trim bin and I have mad $600 worth of hash from trichomes gathered.....
FIRST RUN LIGHT KEIF TRIM BIN....nothing better...'TRIM BIN'....then you can@dry ice ot for the rest of the the stems and broken heads and a little plant material.....use a 90-140 micron bag and $10 worth of dry ice.....
Then use that to make butter or whatever.....GET RID OF THE PLANT MATERIAL NO SOLVENTS THAT WAY......
BUBBLES BETTER THEN DRY ICE....but for edibles...dry ice.....for hash bubble bags ICE AND ALL....
I did the paint stirrer with drill in huge 20 gallon bucked of ice weed and water.....
At THE HUMBOLDT COUNTY SHERIFFS HOUSE IN HIS GARAGE...he let me use his shower......I made at least a GORDY 'elbow' aka pound, of hash there....at least...
