Ocean Grown Genetics

sad to report my pheno #1 of dark helmet is a full blown herm. I have heard of forum cut crosses doing this so i'm not too surprised. It was the stinkiest and most vigorous of the 6 females i have so it was kinda a bummer. I definitely won't be breeding with any of my DH though just for this reason.

i have been following all the dark helmet grows and doesn't seem like anyone has run into a herm yet so maybe just some bad luck. The only grow i've seen of a Vader strain herming out is greengenes garden and it was his dark plasma (also a forum cross).....he said it was a light leak issue though.

i'm a huge supporter of the vader crew and this shouldn't stop you from purchasing the dark helmet. like i said i've followed all the grow online and this is a first.

i'm no expert on hermie genetics but i thought a plant in flower that is stressed will throw nanners in the buds that are developing and a full blown hermie plant will actually throw balls at the stem.

they can throw balls if stressed too deep into flower, some strains, some strains or certain plants are just very picky too

well all my dark helmets started throwing balls and i think i know why. I had a couple power outages during the veg period and had some lighting changes. For instance i started them on 24 hr light and moved to 18/6 towards the back half of veg (not sure if this even matters). I'm not sure if they were herm plants or just really easy to herm. either way they got the chop today. I have alien rift and jawa pie in veg and some ninja fruit in the mail so its hard to be bummed.

Im a big fan of Team OG but i stayed away from all the cookie crosses and Im extremely excited they are moving onto the next projects. In my opinions cookies is nothing special, is a low yielder, and is herm prone. I had it once when it first came out and it was really good, but since then, every cookie ive smoked has been blahhhhh

yeah, i should've known better than to run with forum cut genetics. I followed a lot of the grows of the dark helmet and seemed guys were getting some pretty nugs but i guess your environment/grow has to be flawless for them not to herm. last time i buy cookie seeds....maybe
