Hello everyone! 
I am from Balkan, Montenegro to be precise. I have grown few domestic varieties of cannabis.
In the beginning there were 6 seeds that I got from best local weeds that I smoked in past year. These 6 seeds turned into 6 little plants after 3 months under 3x60w CFL 24/0.
After that I transplanted them to bigger containers and moved into bigger box (the one that I use for flowering) under 400w HPS 16/8. A week after that I change light regime to 12/12.
Everything was going smooth, first male appeared and I killed it. After that two plants turned hermaphrodite. First I thought that I should kill them, but then I read this in "Cannabis Grow Bible" and it kept me thinking:
"Hermies cause problems because they may carry the hermie trait with their offspring. In fact, genetically the hermie will only produce female seeds and hermaphrodite seeds. It will never produce a male seed. If you have ever seen all female seeds been advertised by seedbanks then you should have the right to know that these seeds come from female plants which are stressed into producing male flowers. The plants then self-pollinate themselves and the results are female and hermaphrodite seeds. In a special case a female known as an XX female will produce more female seeds than hermaphrodite seeds. That is how female seeds are created. In general growers try to keep away from any hermie plants because they will spoil a Sinsemilla crop. Also having pollen floating around in your grow room from a hermie plant will spoil everything else including breeding projects."
However after two days of thinking what to do, should I make the seeds or get sensimilla, I decided to get rid of hermies. Three plants have left, and all of them are females, two of them look similar (sativa/indica), and one looks more sativa.
After first week of blooming I started to tie them down. I lst-ed all three of them.
^these were photographed on tuesday 4. decembar 2007.
^You can see LST better from these...
^These are the fertilaziers and in the middle new product on our market (root stimulator, helps a lot). All three are Balkan products, we don't have access to the same stuff you do, there are no growshops.
One more word about the plants... The more sativa one is the last one that got into flowering, so the first two are going to be done in first weeks of the new year.
to be continued...

Hey! nice grow... you sure had alot of let downs during the first stages of your grow. 
Losing a plants to incorrect sex and then 2 turn hermie on you! that sucks. But at least your other plants are holding up strong and looking quite healthy might i add. 
But ill definitely be tuning in for this. 
How far into flower are your plants? & what kinda feeding schedule do u have them on just wondering...
