Yeh, I was gonna buy some beans the other day and noticed they were all over the place on Herbies. Was curious but I think I will give them a miss...

I am so glad to hear the same thing I just experienced a few months ago; I still have 2 of their beans left and am afraid to try the rest. First of all, the one plant I did of the money maker was deformed as all get out .The leaf that came in was 3 sided and the second nodes from the top grew like an upside down xmas tree, I had to throw it out, I didn't want to take it any further. But the thing I have found after trying Herbies is the same,half of everything I grew were hermie's and I will never pollute my rooms like that again. The one's that didn't were really good, but I can't come up with the confidence to try any more. I did feel like a fool giving my money to them

Don't waste your money on thes beans I just finished yesterday and the she Hermed on me in the last week. Beautiful plant though..

Great looking plant! If it it didn't herm until the last week it wouldn't make beans would it? I grew it a year ago, huge arm length colas, no herms and pretty sticky but those seeds were probably from another batch. I spent a bunch of money on some fem girl scout cookies this year, planted 3, and all were male!

Thanks man I appreciate it. I ment 2 weeks I was stoned when I posted.... I'm not sure on how long it takes them to produce seeds. Every single calyx has a tiny little seed, about the size of the ball from a pen.

Well, I had to harvest the moneymakers. They were ready but I could have left them a little longer. The harvest is the best I have ever done for weight and appearance but I can't say it was because of the genetics. I made some major changes in my nutes and I added a 300w led to the 2x4ft tent along with my 400w hps. Man, that was really a lot of light and the plants loved it. I also trained them as an 8 head manifold. Trimming was super easy except for being so sticky. I just left the popcorn on the stems and will make oil out of it later.

This was one plant.

I ran it before. It was a bit leafy. Not too potent. Flavor and euphoria was good on one of the phenos. Hashy and berry. Looked like the pics above. Overall very easy to grow.

Hi, I know.. old topic etc but I just want to share experience.

I bought 5 seeds, all 5 germinated with no problem (put in water for 24hours after they sunk i use the paper-towel method until the root is about 2cm and then put them in jiffys)

very uniform growth, very fat round and very foxtailing headbud, the sidebuds are more of triangle/christmas tree shape. It stays very small but I dont veg it for long (2 weeks from germination). Done 2 runs now with all 5 plants and their first generation offsprings. I grow with amare se300 (315watts) and I get about 50g per plant when I put 4 of them under one light. Very reliable performing strain. I also got seeds from one but it didnt trouble me. I will grow them out outside this year.

If you can get your hands on the strain I recommend it, just to have it. I will keep it around for long, in a small corner somewhere in the back. Just saw yesterday the seeds are not available anymore and I am glad I got some. Dont know if they will come back.

Have a nice weekend

PS mine is not very leafy, easy to trim. But i dont do lst them i keep the natural form and defoliate while flowering bit by bit so at harvest most leaves are gone already

edit again: i dont understand what the people on this last page say about hermies, I dont see it that way and they dont pollute the grow room.. its not like they can make other plants turn seedy..
