I was given two clones of a polyhybrid cross called "new wave" or triple threat, it basically consists of Purple Erkle, Og Kush, and Sour D...its very nice smoke, floral, hard hitting high.
I veg'd these two clones out, took more clones from them both, and flowered out both of the originals. They did NOT hermy or have any indication of male flowers.
So i decide to keep a mother and flower out a bunch of second round cuts. These cuts go to 3 seperate grow areas, 2 in my grow, and another at a friends grow who has lots of experiance and never gets hermies. The plants are in the exact same tray as the previous round that did not hermy!
The second wave of "new wave" forms huge male flowers at 3 weeks and has fully polinated everything in ALL THREE ROOMS!
Since i stand to lose thousands of dollars due to this, i figured i would do some research and try to figure out why a CLONE ONLY STRAIN, that has never hermied before, would blow pollen in 3 seperate grow rooms that have never had hermy issues before!!
At first i thought light leak, but i dont have any! and my friend doesnt either.
Second hypothesis is that the mother became unstable somehow? i know she went dry for a day once and was wilted, would this cause the resulting clones to be unstable?
Any ideas? Im more pissed because now i wont have any OG, Blueberry, or Sour D to bring to the 420 cup. Im spraying down my 4th tray, cookies which are only 1 week into flower with reverse and tons of water in hopes it will kill any pollen still lingering. if the cookies get seeded too i am in for a very dissapointing 420...
