any others with purple jems shots?

 

[Delux83]

yeah my green one was real short, the funny thing about mine was the one that turned purple didnt even get her third set of leafs for like the first month the other 2 plants took off on her but was only growing the 3 so kept her anyways and she ended up be the bigest and the only one that turned purple glad i kept her. i think i harvested a lil early couldnt find any smoke they smelled just like grape fruit had a real fast heavy high but only lasted like 1 hour but like i said i harvested early. cant member exactly what i yielded but think was 30ish grams. check my sig and that grow plus my current auto grow is in it PJ prob bout 5-6 pages in then its dna 60 day wonder

whatsup people, ive tried other threads but so far no reply. not much info on autos. this thread hit the nale on the head. hopefully i could get the info im lookin for. i have 2 nirvana auto blue mystic plants. they are advertised as 100% female. and i understand there is no certainty. so about 3 weeks in, they both showed sex. 1 seems to be all fem, the other showed male sacks first but now i can see white hairs also.(herm?) but like i said they are advertized as 100% fem, but the 1 plant showed male first. what does this mean? is it male or female or just a rare thing. i would like to make the most out of the situation, so im intersted in producing seed. from what i think understand if the herm pollinates itself, it would produce different quality seeds than the herm pollinating the fem. can someone explain my options and what the the offspring would be like if i let the herm pollinate itself and or if i let the herm pollinate the fem. 4 weeks and a few days in now. these are the latest pics. any other info would be great also.

sorry to say but herms produce herms. i would cut it out before it sheds any pollen. thats the prob with fem seed. to make them they stress the female plant so much that she produces pollen that only carries female chromosomes, but she also inherits the herm trait. yeah it will still produce some bud, but you are always gunna have shitty bud. not primo bud like a pure dioecious strain would produce.i say stick with reg auto instead of fem strains and do your own breeding.it will work out cheaper in the end.

aye thats what ive done with my pj's got 2 males out of 10 and have pollinated 1 of each of the best henos bottom branches the seeds look ok, does any one know if auto seeds have to be dried out same as normal freshly harvested seeds? id have thought not as the plants auto flower they are around all year so would the seeds naturaly be ready to germinate straight away?

I had a long drawn out response but fuck all that, fem seeds will not produce shit bud, a grower who doesnt know what they are doing will produce shit bud. I dont know about you, but my fem seeds produce good plants. If yours dont your doing something wrong. Always shitty bud from fems? Man you might want to look into that a bit more.

You misunderstood I think. He is saying that if you take buds off of a plant that is spending it's energy producing seeds then the buds will not be nearly as potent as they would have if the plant had not been pollinated.

I didnt misunderstand anything, I read what he said, if he meant something other than what he wrote maybe he should be more clear. He clearly said, "it will still produce some bud, but you are always gunna have shitty bud" Not much to misunderstand. You are right that they will not be as potent if pollinated, if its a heavy pollination. If its only a few seeds in a plant, it wont take much energy for the plant to produce them, plus the rest of the plant will go on trying to become impregnated, producing more bud and resin. If the plant is fully pollinated then you will have an issue with loss of potency. A plant is not happy with just a few seeds, it wants every calyx full, so 10 seeds in a plant, wont make it crap bud. The plant will barely notice those seeds and keep going on like its not even pregnant. Thats why people pollinate lower branches and keep their tops seedless. The top will grow just like its never been pollinated because it hasnt, only the lower branches have.

well thanks for the replies. im prepared to take a lost in bud if i know ill end up with quality seeds. i think the auto blue mystic is fairly new genetics. maybe its not so stable just yet. like i said i know certainty is a far shot. but the male does come from supposedly 100% fem, so in my mind the offspring should be prodomenantly fem traits with a chance of herm due to the process of making fem seed. but if the male herm pollinates itself there is a greater chance for male and herm offspring. but if i pollinate the fem with the male that was supposed to fem anyway, than i would think i would have a higher percentage of fem seed. but genetics is hit and miss anyway, right. i would rather have alot of seeds that can produce and supply bud, than just have one good plant produce a small supply of bud. you know the saying "give a man a fish he can eat for a day, teach a man to fish he can feed himself for a lifetime."

 

[nimbin1]

o wow where do i start? maybe a couple of brackets in there would have made it easier to under stand. i never ment for any one to interpert it like they have. outdoorindica, sorry for the misunderstanding. i should have made it clearer. i wasn't dissing fem seeds saying you would get shit bud i was dissing herm plants saying that they would always produce shitty bud and to not breed from them as they will only pass on the herm genes. BTL1384 i assure you that if you pollinate your one good plant with that herm pollen all you will get is heart ache.. a couple of joints of shit bud and a shit load of shit seeds carrying the herm gene. ultimently its up to you but i have over 15 years experence and i can tell you time and time again HERM'S BREED HERM'S. rip it out tread on it and be done with it. another $60 on fresh seed will save you ten years trying to breed the herm genes outta it.im not trying to upset anyone by the way just trying to get my point across:-]

Hey all I have a Purple jem autoflower growing at the moment and she just started to flower a couple days ago at 23 days she is know 28 days I would like to know when should i pollinate her for the seeds to be finished by the time she is finished. I would say she has maybe 10 or so flowers now and she is short and compact hard to get in to pollinate.if any1 can help me with this. also if anyone else has grown it to tell me how many days she took to finish etc. she will be pollinated with a purpjem boy already collected n stored...

What would happen if I change my light cycle to 12/12 with like 2 week left? Day 53 of my Short Riders and theyre in the same room as some vegging plants I want on 12/12 because they're getting too big.

 

[raw225]

sup people?? im about to order my first seeds from an online seedbank

i am going with an autoflower strain "FAST BUD" description below>> i heard when you grow a autoflower strain, you use a MH light 18/6 cycle the whole time....is this correct??? also, are these strains EASY TO GROW?

http://www.cannabis-seeds-bank.co.uk/sweet-seeds-fast-bud/prod_1306.html

i'm also gonna order some "TOP 69" autoflower seeds...> http://www.cannabis-seeds-bank.co.uk/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=1569

they have some of the latest strains im new have a good look around

ladiva can get up to 300 grams per square metre

(mfdiamond)
it wouldent do too much slightly slow it down i would think anyone else?

 

[lulutheblack]

Who has grown autos on an 18/6 schedule AND a 12/12 schedule and what differences did you notice? Do most people stay 18/6 the entire grow from seed to harvest?

i heard when using the 18/6 cycle you yeild more bud heres a review written on the AUTOFLOWER STRAIN "SHORT RIDER" on the NIRVANA SITE >
This is my first auto flower and it is an out standing plant. Nice hard buds and the most beautiful color of purple I have ever seen, which was a nice surprise.
the smoke is smooth and will have you ripped for most of the day. I had a small hit in the A.M. and out of it all day.
This is not a smoke for lite weights. And if you are a veteran of war then this is for you. No nightmares, just a long and rest full sleep.
I grew it in a 4"X4" tent and under a 1000w m/h lamp on a 18/6 schedule all the way though the grow.
Thanks Nirvana, I love doing business with your company.

---thats one of many times i have seen someone say they use the 18/6 cycle

Hi all, I have a quick question. I'll be growing a DNA Genetics 60 Day Wonder. Has anyone grown this strain? How is it? And I'll be using a peat pellet and then transfer to FF Ocean Forest. Will the Ocean Forest be too strong at this stage?
