Rasafrasin'...Hermi Question

[Tommygirl]

Ok, I've just discovered that my large, female, White Widow is actually a hermi. I don't care about the pollen that it could produce, because I've been pollenating both my girls with the male that I have.

My concern is whether or not it having gone hermi means that it will fail to produce THC as a proper female will, or if it's going to be fine. If developing mature, male flowers will keep it from producing THC as it should, will plucking the balls off before they mature prevent too much male hormone from disrupting THC production?

I also have a minor question about rockwool...

Do people buy precut rockwool cubes 6 for $8, rather than buying a 8"x36" slab for $6 and cutting it to size, for convenience or is it really hard to do yourself?

for the hermi ?, when plants get pollenated, they use up a lot of their energy producing seeds instead of THC. It will still produce THC, there will just be less than what you would have had if there was no pollen. Since you said you were already gonna polenated them, theres no problem at all. It'll still make THC, seeds, and buds.

They just won't be as potent, but i've had some seedy bud that was still flame, so it's all about the care you put into them.

Edit, Forgot about the other ?. I don't know about the rockwool, but I grow with peat pellets and they work great. I'd suggest trying to use those. The roots still grow right through them.

Edit #2 - where do you see it being hermi. All I see are pistils... It's kinda blurry but maybe a pollen sac at the top of the pic. Not quite sure...

Is this not a male flower? If it's not, what is it?

I don't think I can use peat pellets in my sudo-DWC.

Buy the slab, it's not all that bad to handle, kind like fiberglass insulation only stiffer. Don't forget the rockwool conditioner.

Looks like a ball to me. it's a hermi!!!! still great smoke, just pick off the balls as you see them, I don't know if it helps, but that's what i would do. Good luck!!!

What would you use to cut it? A serrated kitchen knife? Kitchen shears? A Hanzo Katana? Seriously, what would be the easiest, cleanest and safest way to cut it into useable pieces?

I use a big serrated nife the kind used for cutting roastbeef and such. I used the 4x6 slab. As far as safe, as long as you don't try inhaling it, your good to go.
