I seem to be plagued by hermies. In the past, the damn digital timer was not going off when it was supposed to. Or I stubbornly and stupidly was not finished what I was doing before lights out. This time, I did not have any of the above problems. I checked and checked and checked some more, and did not find any. Many days of this and then I noticed once of my nicest looking flowers had at least 4 suddenly obvious flowers and the seeding seems worse than ever before (some fully developed seeds and some green, just a few in some cases but quite a few on most)! I don't know if it is better to chop and regenerate and settle for a shit yield of seediness, or risk more seeds but maybe get more weight too? I don't know how this slipped past me! It was right in front of me too! not way in back
The main question is, how often do hermies tend to occur? Say someone is an expert grower but has 100 plants (I have nowhere near that). Will a certain percent always be hermie or will some growers of some strains always be hermie free? I know some strains are more proned to this, like chem types and Thai. So what percent will hermie for various strains? (for example if someone said 15% for Thai and 3% for Northern lights, this is the kind of answer I am seeking). Thanks! ps. the one that hermied was a strawberry diesel kush from fractal genetics. But I have several others of this strain and diesel hybrids from cannaventure that did not do this.
