took cuttings from a hermied mother???

Discussion in 'Advanced Growing Techniques' started by thefloweringman, Oct 13, 2011.

  1. I took cuttings too often and too quick without recovery time and the mother plant hermied, i chopped most of her limbs off all that is left now is a cantaloupe top, she has been pulled out of flower and is going to go back to veg for a while then go back after i use some "reverse" on her, maybe she 'll produce again, my question is, the cuttings that i took, are they going to be hermied, or can i use reverse on them as well once rooted to prevent hermies because there are 14 cuttings from her and 2 from the flowering mother that looks great right now, and 2 new seeds from the same strain, purple power! the cuttings were definitely taken from budding sites, not the male sites, not even the same branches, the entire plant was split 10% male and 90% female, i only noticed it because i enjoy spending time with them, any opinions, experienced opinions? :wave::eek:
     
  2. My opinion would be that I'm sure its possible for them to be hermie's, and that it could also be possible that they are still female. My opinion is that trial and error is the only way you'll truly know. ;)

    thank u for the opinion
    i guess i will keep them and just try my luck i also just after that, took 2 cuttings from my big lady, and started 2 more seeds of the same strain, this my first grow of this strain and the first 5 plants, 2 of which were females, were of a learning experience, now i know what this strain needs and should be able to control any unknown stress factors that i couldnt control before until its needs (different from the other strains i have grown) were known. purple power definitely takes more chem.s and cal/mag and cooler temps than w.w. and northern lights, it seems to like low 70's tamp wise.

  4. sherman the broke dick herman dude. its for sure hermie genetics you cloned. let it pollinate itself... the seeds on the other hand you could find some females(still have hermie dna) but pop enough seeds you could find that pure...
