wow alot of hermi reports again.
2 is not a lot more.
I would go on a limb and say that most reports will be negative. People are less compelled to go on and on about any thing good and if they do they are fanboys etc.
It's a no win!
OSD is fire, issues=0

oceansider how about describing your set up.. cuz its easy to blame the seed... just like its easy for me to blame the grower.... so your saying u spent 360 and didnt get an gram back? let alone an ounce or 2... and 4k watts do u test your genes or go seed to your 4k set up...? i mean you do have to test the strain before committing to a large set up.its like bringing in new genetics you have to test run then before u commit. but what would i know only been growing longer than a decade.. def give gages gear a run his is dank for sure... thats why i rep him..

Cheers

I run Sour Deisel and Headband.... I love them both... I picked the dankest phenos of the 6 I got of each, and kept them.... I use Advanced Nutes... The Sour D stretches about 3 X's the size, the headband almost 4 X's the size... Both nice and easy to grow. I always top, and am yeilding @ 10oz per plant with 2 under each one thousand watt light....

As far as hermies from CC, Ive never had a problem.... I DID however have some trouble germinating a few of their seeds.... DNA fucked me a few times when I ordered Fem seeds, they sent Regulars... No Hermies

Here we go again! I run Tahoe deadhead Julius Larry ogiesel corleone and have had no problems whatsoever from the seeds stock. All were regular seeds and are serious fire. The problems that I did run into when popping all these was created by me and resulted in the plant going into protection mode. Once I found that they were sensitive to stress it was a matter of finding there happy medium. my Larry started to hermie at week 8 and was cool anyways cuz I had a light leak from exhaust adjustment. Fixed and flawless now. I'm not saying that anyone is wrong or right I hear a lot of people say they've had probs with swerve gear on the same side tons say his gear is the shit. So please before you possibly take a bad run or mistake on your half and bash a breeder make sure it wasn't on your end. I've had so many people tell me don't run this it sucks or don't run this it hermies, only to buy a pack myself and never have any problems they describe. I can't see a breeder selling seeds knowing he's gonna f gardens up and piss people off. To me my word is much more important than it being a joke
 
I ran Reserva Privada's Sour Kush. It sucked. -RP's Kosher Kush was awsome with little nuggets but had major stretch in the stems. The little nuggets were quite dense and weighed a lot more than I thought they would. Very good quality smoke with a lemony flavour. Found the odd seed throughout the smoke. RP's OG Kush sucked. -Had a few herm issues but nothing major. Buds were mostly hairs, not very dense.

As for Cali Connection..... I ran Larry Og. It stretched quite a bit, but the flavour and quality of the buds was the best I have EVER seen. The buds weren't super dense, but definately visually attractive and super crystally. There was the odd seed in my finished buds, but I never actually noticed any pollen sacks during flower. I am now hooked on Cali connection. I won't run any other brands for a long time...if ever.
I am keeping a Larry mother. I am also now running Cali's Tahoe OG, 818 Headband, and a mixed pack seed, which are ALL showing really great plant structure with no stretch and tight branching.

I don't understand how people could bitch to the breeder about a hermie. That's fucking lame. You have to go through your packs of seeds and find the keepers. It takes time (MONTHS) and patience. You don't just order a pack of seeds and expect the genetics to be perfect in every seed. The breeders can only do so much and you have to sort through the rest of the bullshit yourself if you want a good mother plant. I've gotten hermies from all sorts of different seed companys. Some strains are more sensitive than others. I was shocked when I found out about this wave of negative comments directed specifically at Swerve and Cali connection. There are hermie seeds that are coming from ALL the breeders that I've every tried. It's up to you to find the keepers otherwise maybe you should just buy it from someone who enjoys growing and sorting through strains.

I dont normally post on here just a lurker but have to defend my mans swerves genetics. On my third 4,000 watt scrog of the most super sour huge yielding stoniest OGIESEL ever....getting 1.25 gpw yall!!!! No Hermes ever! Agreed that you have to search for a pheno but if you find bet you won't give up ever!
 
Haters with 5 posts all about their "hermies" no pics and drop off never to be seen again
here is my 818 headband femenized seeds at week 4 of flowering. 4 of the six seeds i got hermied on me.IMAG0839.jpg
IMAG0840.jpg

never stressed them or interupted the light cycle, all are healthy plants with big female buds already. as of now there are about 20 male flowers total (4 or 5 are opened up already) and i am going to use dutchmaster Reverse for the first time

Cali Connection is by far the best genetics i've grown. I grew out the pre-98 bubba and lots of the 818 Headband...so far no other company has surpassed them....DNA OG 18 and Lemon Skunk is dank for sure, but they dont compare to the CC strains....Just my 2 cents

pull them off they look like they were low meaning it was just some small type of stress that caused it or an intial genetic tweak that worked it self out cuz the top and the rest minus the open pods are all female...

Reverse doesn't work well, BUT b vitamin products can sometimes prevent stress related herms. Thanks, I know the question was a ways back.
