Read a bunch of articles about it and decided the worst that could happen would be my plant will die. Well I said fuck it and I did my first defoliation day 27 after the switch to 12/12! what do you guys think? Did I do too much, just right, or am I stupid for doing this Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Hey fuel. Just wondering how your plants bounced back. I did a mild defol on day 3 flower and then a full defol of all fan leaves on day 21. What was the outcome of your yield. I’m worried I have not seen any change since I defoliated. Did yours bounce back
For what ever reason they turned Hermie on me ... what a shame they were looking pretty too Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
That sucks. Hopefully mine don’t. A little stress and I guess they get finicky. I’ve beat mine up bad so I’m expecting the same outcome as you. Cool colours on yours tho

Take your hermie plants and make yourself some badass HASH! Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
I saw in a video that they survive and thrive with or without fan leaves. It was on a video so it's obviously true. I cut all fans

I am not all the way through yet but I have taken a few large fan leaves every week and quit a few about two weeks ago. I am on day 82 since first 12/12 Did you take a picture of the bananas or balls that let you know it was hermi?
Most vids and articles say day 21 seems to be the most popular time to do it. Some do it again on day 42. I’m guessing it has to Do with the end of the stretch period
How long after did your plant show signs. Or in general if anyone has had it happen how long after a stress does the plant show signs of hermaphrodite?
Still no signs of hermies. Although over all growth is slow. My temps hovering about 18.5 degrees with lights on. Basement grow and the ambient room temp is very low. If I slow the exhaust fan down the RH gets up to 60 which seems too high for day 35 so I shoved a big fan in there today to get the RH down a bit.
