At Blue Sky, not last time I shopped there but the time before, I got some Jack the Ripper that everybody had hermies with. Mine turned hermie and when I went back to Blue Sky and told the clone vender this he just gave me a snotty look and said, "well, do you want clones today or not?"
This is the medicine that keeps me going, and with a crop full of hermies all I could do is make hash. This threw me off for the next 3 months till the next harvest came out. Quality control is in every industry, but when somebody tells Blue Sky the product was below par the only thing said is, well shop somewhere else then. Or, "do a test run next time."
Those are just not acceptable answers and I believe that if cannabis goes legal then this type of crap wont happen over time. If cannabis was legal then you would be able to grow out hundreds of seeds in order to find the elite clone that doesn't hermie. Maybe some day.
yes your right, but i'm sorry i preach "do a test run on everything to everyone, because just because something does right 1000 times, what happens if you're 1001?
i've ran all the strains that everyone here feels have hermie tendancies(spl) and have not had a single cola turn hermie.
does that mean you all are full of shit, or I have some magical garden (i wish), not at all, just means that none of it hermied on me, just as yours did you.
not every strain is 100% stable to every possible way or every possible system, there are no perfect beans.
point in case, romulan, i can't get this strain to fit into the way i do things to save my life, thus i will not fill a whole room with "the perfect romulan cut from anybody" and trust me, i get offered choice romulan from various sources. it just doesn't work for me at all.
i would never fill my whole room with anything anybody gave me <period> be it from really good seed stock or from the hand of whoever.
i can remember for every hermie story i addressed in this thread, posting 10 success stories. even out of my own pocket, taking back i don't know how many jtr's and then in turn just giving them out to people, and have them come back with successful grows.
am i saying yours didn't hermie, no, but i am not calling jtr or bubblegum hermie strains in any way.
this is my belief, not the opinion of BS, as I tell you.
but if you would of just stuck to what worked for you, then threw a couple JTR's in there to see what she'd do, if it hermied on you, you simply do what you got to do, but the rest of your grow is not screwed up (test grow) - my mentor drilled this into my head, I'm just passing on something I firmly believe in, that's all.
but then again, i have never had a full grow go to shit on me either, so maybe it's not just bullshit afterall...
ok now let me go and ask this guys for the new line up...
