    one dark night in central florida, humidity or maybe just karma caused a piece of tape to fall off of the wall of the flowering area of a grower that could have done a better job of lightproofing the first time,he was warned and knew better,but f*ck it, a piece of duct tape'll work, right? but for how long? i opened up my door this morning to bananas in my nugs and pistils slowly reddening and shriveling.pollen has come to town.hermie pollen at that.the upside is,i see now what can handle the stress without turning and what cannot.luckily for me and some friends,:qbluewacko: the plants i have pollenated on purpose(dsd f3's & ak47 x dsd) are outside and isolated away from the hermie pollen.the bad news is,my next harvest at the first of the month has now become mids:5headache:
    make sure you're on top of light leaks folks,it could cause you a real pain, i hope this helps someone

    if it's the light leak that caused them to hermie, your seeds won't be hermie...I guess that's a good thing, right?!?

    question...


    you got me thnking hygrade...my babies are too big to really look over thoroughly..it would involve too much touching...


    the female preflowers are supposed to be amber by now if the plants are old, right? The ones that get polinated are the new ones that pop up during flowering, right?
