You are right about the sacs opening but the fact that the plant is showing all the right sighns for harvest time makes me think hermie. Some people say that hermies are not good too smoke but thats a lie. You just dont want to breed them because of the lack of bud and if you do breed all of the seeds will come out hermies too, making the availability for more hermies to arive.

Ok, yeah I already smoked it bit and it was a great high...

I am not too bothered because it's my first grow and it was basicly an experiment

Do you think it is ready for drying though?

hey bro, If you have already smoked some and it seemed right for you than it is ready. There is really nothing wrong with hermies its just not what people like. Like I said before, hermies get you high and thats what you want right? I say go ahead brother. On your next grow try to make sure the temp, soil,watering,and feeding are right for the plant and you wont have that problem again.later bro.

I also don't see any indication of a hermie here. Does anyone realize how rare hermies are? I think you have like a .001% chance of ever developing a hermie. I mean think about it, how many human hermaphrodites are there? Not many compared to the rest of the population. But, it does seem like a lot of people talk about them on the boards.

Keep up the good work.

You can't put a probability on getting a hermie because MJ is subject to turn hermie when placed under stress. Stress can mean lots of things -- training and pruning, over- or underwatering, overfertilizing, light types and intensity and schedule, temperatures, pH imbalance, on and on. These are all environmental conditions, so it's up to the grow circumstances. The more stress you put on your plants the greater the chance of it turning hermie.

Also, humans are not plants with the capability of self-reproducing incase of emergency... so, not a good comparison there. haha.

:P

TheFxckingHero · #21 (**permalink**) 04-27-2006, 09:26 AM

dude you already harvested? you could probably easily get double the amount that is there now if you just waited...

science · #22 (**permalink**) 04-27-2006, 11:28 PM

Toastybiz is right. The more stress the plants go under the greater chance of a hermie.

hermies don't necessarily produce hermie seeds, bro. In fact, that is one of the ways to produce 99% femd seeds.

Thank you mad4.
I think the word hermie gets thrown around way too much here on this bulletin board. Hermies are very rare and my guess is that at least 50% of the people posting here that say they have, have had, and will have hermies, is/are diagnosing the sex inaccurately.

comedykills · #25 (**permalink**) 04-28-2006, 09:02 AM

i'll have to agree with Smkn on this on

TheFxckingHero · #26 (**permalink**) 04-28-2006, 05:52 PM

I agree as well. they are pretty rare unless you are intentionally doing all that you can to stress out your plant (incase you wanted to produce feminized seeds).

2Packed · #27 (**permalink**) 04-28-2006, 08:26 PM

Nope, not harvested yet.

I am thinking of harvesting on the 1st May.

I'll get some more pics Sunday.

couldn't agree more. if you're not producing a hermie on purpose, then you're fucking somethign up big to get one. I rarely see a hermie.

I harvested today, I thought "Fuck it, I got 5 more plants growing, a load more seeds, I live in a country where you can grow pretty much all year around outdoors and I got a friend coming to visit me in one week!"

I will get some pics up soon.

Watch this space.

Ok, I got a pic of all of the buds (un-manicured).

After this I pic I used another, larger box and spread them out a bit better.

Tbh, I am pleased with the yield, I have got at least 150 euros of weed there for free so it's all good
