Dude.....most people gave the advice I did.....soooo chances are you have just never seen a hermie plant before. They tend to occur more in feminized seeds, especially in the blue strains. I have had both a Barney farms blue cheese and a Blue Moonshine hermie near the end. Stress can easily cause a plant to hermie and since the guy’s pics looked a lot like when I’ve had plants hermie and the plants looked easily mature enough to harvest....I gave the advice that i did.

So chances are your a rookie grower and haven’t really had many grows. That’s fine but you should be less willing to jump down someone’s throat until you have gained the experience necessary to give an educated rebuttal.

B.C Chef,

Sorry man, I must have been a little to jacked up on caffeine at the time. My bad.

I have had plants hermie on me before and cause seeds to form when growing from unknown bag seed so I do know a little something about how they act and what they look like. But I've also got quite a few non pollinated plants to harvest and seen those swollen calyxes that didn't have seeds in them and looked like the pictures hazex posted. So that was the reasoning/personal experience my opinion was based on.

While I personally don't have any experience with trying to grow from feminized seeds all my reading tends to make me agree with you about hermies tending to occur more often when growing from them.

I do how ever tend to disagree with this whole notion (that seems to be fairly wide spread) about various kinds of stress being the cause of plants going hermie. I can't really back this up with any scientific evidence but it is my opinion that plants go hermie based solely on their genetics and not due to any enviromental factors. In other words if a plant is going to do that early stage hermie thing (as opposed to that late stage banana formation) it's going to do so even if it was grown under perfect conditions. And for the life of me I can't think of a methodoly right now of how you could prove or disprove this theory one way or the other.

So when you say you've had plants hermie on you "near the end" are you talking about them forming those yellow bananas up in the middle of the colas or throwing out clusters of male flowers lower down on the plant?

Once again, sorry for coming off so harsh so quickly.

Let the learning continue.

Jack

PS: So what was the final out come of this seeded versus non-seeded controversy. Did those buds hazex posted pictures of have seeds in them or not?

So BC.. at the moment i'm growing Crimea Blue from Barney's..... what's the probability of them hermieing ?

Looks fine. No bananas. I would chop it, looks done.

Oh! LOL.. my stoner ass sees now you found no seeds and harvested. Looks great, I am sure you will enjoy smoking her.

hehe there was no seeds..i did not find one yet i also didnt crack to many buds open they been curing for a day and a half now iam burping every 12 hours...even if it did hermie or start tooo wont the bud be good to smoke?i mean am i wasting my time curing this? and the only thing i came close to a seed at all where these little tiny white things i find sometimes on the bud..but wayy wayy to small to tell if its anything by eye..so to my knowledge this plant has to mature seeds or ones mature enough to tell its a seed..all i want to know is it going to be good?it is a bagseed i still hvent found a good site to order to connecticut from> its in USA NEAR new york lemmek now if anyone knows legit sites...ALSO the bud seems a little dry when iam burping them..so i only been burping for a half hour or hour..should i be worried my bud is to dry and moisten it up? or just keep burpin and it will slowly gain moisture?

^you only need to burp them for a couple minutes, because all your doing is letting the old air out and fresh air in. If you dump them out, you can put them back in and close it back up right away, because the air is completely refreshed. That should help them to not dry out any further.
