Keep me updated on them. I won't be getting around to growing them for a few years yet. Have too many other seeds with higher priorities.

Hello everyone, I'm new to the site so please excuse me if ive put this in the wrong place,,,
anyway I had 6 24kgold seeds from dna and I was around 10-11 days into flower after a 4-5 week veg and I noticed they were showing male and female preflowers, I google image searched and they were defo male preflowers so I chopped all 6 of them as I found male parts on all 6 of them however prior to this I took 2 cuttings from each one of the 6 plants my question is will the cuttings most likely herm on me too or do you guys think its more the fact they suffered a slight bit of environmental stress cause I left my fans running on high one night and the tent got cold, I also overfed by accident prior to there death....lol, but if anyone could shed some light onto the cutting thing that would be great thanks!!!!:bigjoint:
You should discuss with people your exact setup so you can absolutely rule out environment. Or a few pics of all your components to save 1000 words. I personally lean toward it being environmental, no two seeds are the same and to have all of them herm at the same time purely from genetics just seems unlikely. You would imagine reputable (are they?) company would not sell them at such a price if they were too fragile. It's not in their long term interest to play that kind of game.

Nothing in those pics shouts out herm to me, others might see something else. But I would try to keep wires off the hoods only for over heating safety.

If you can rule out heat swings during day/night or a possible heat wave at that time?, I don't have any other suggestions. Regularly entering the tent after lights out has split opinions but better to verge caution and avoiding it just in case, imo.

I notice you don't have a bigger oscillating fan. This may be a none issue but during a heat wave or spike I think it will do a better job of removing hot spots around the root zone, if slightly tilted up.

I imagine you keep in/out take going 24/7?. I don't know if that even matters, aside form heat spikes I've never read of humidity spikes creating herm, but it may be possible?.

Well, hopefully it was just a bad set of seeds if your day/night temps are looked after.

you can just pluck the balls off a hermie plant, they wont grow back. if you have a monster plant tho, or several of them, it might be difficult
