Grew 2 Jack Herers. Both turned into hermies in flower with tons of pollen sacs (they may have shown up earlier and I missed it due to blind faith in feminized seeds). I tossed one of them and harvested one of them at week 13. It probably had 2-3 more weeks before it would have been ready. After too many hours of picking off the balls, it was too much upkeep. After harvesting, I'm confident it was the right call - there were pockets of balls all over the place and it would have been too much risk for my other plants and neighbors (one of them stopped by and kindly asked that I chop it as well!)
I'm drying the bud now and will try to cure it nice and slow to see what I can salvage. I'm assuming I won't get much out of it which is a huge bummer since I was really looking forward to this strain. I'll probably end up making tincture out of it and having to mix it with other strains to neutralize any poor type of effects. But, who knows? Maybe it'll turn out.
I'll update once I have dry weight and after testing it out.
Given that it's my first grow, it could have been a ton of things that forced this into hermie status. Maybe genetics? Maybe the heat from the black fabric pots (switching to tan next grow)? Maybe too many nutrients (switching to Ocean Forest soil and will reduce nutrients next grow)?
