Hurricane... It seems like that reptile you have in that image is some kind of chameleon. The huge "telescopic" sort of eye is making that suggestion to me. I can't really see the rest of it, so I couldn't tell you for sure.
Not surprised at all that borax would make a plant stressed enough to hermie as I seriously doubt that trying to derive elemental boron from borax is something a plant is even capable of. Borax itself is just a term to describe many different complex boron compounds, of which none of the uses for any borax compound is plant food. In fact borax treatment is commonly known to kill off/control creeping charlie [ a noxious yard weed. ]
Imo theres plenty of sources for elemental boron in ferts and plenty of it coming right out of your cities tap water. As long as you arent using distilled or RO water then you have no boron deficiency issues to worry about. I would also research any method you've never heard of like using borax or car battery acid and consider them highly suspect until proven by a decent group of qualified growers.
Kokua, consider yourself lucky you only wanked a couple of plants on this kind of 'sage' advice. I feel sorry for those not as experimental as you that take this advice and go ruin an entire crop.

is it? How do you know? Have you performed plant specific testing on cannabis to prove what you say?
It could very well be a coincidence...but I wont take that chance again, especially after the lack of results from the first batch...

you have got to be kidding me

coincidence hmmmmmmm i dont think so !!!!! I dont believe in coincidence !
I have seen this plant grown in 4 different gardens that were all set up completly differently and none of them hermied And yes they all came from the same mom !!
Lets face the facts sproutco you are reading text books and throwing out your ideas on what you read and have no proof of whats going to happen.

We are still waiting for you to prove all your bold statements you have allready made !!!!!! Until then I and others will still think you are Full Of SHIT!!!!

This from someone unfamiliar with the strain being tested? I am grasping here but I'd bet dollars to donuts your not raising nor have you raised the test subjects.
The fact that ONLY the boron enhanced plants exhibit this trait and NONE of the others is a coincidence?
Because????
you say so??
I don't think so. I think your talking just to hear words
again
Stress attributed? maybe
Chemical imbalance? maybe
mere coincidence? unlikely.

Somehow I knew a response like that would come if something went awry...
sproutco said:
Yeah, about as much coincidence as you removing the boron link to this post in your sig. The only thing this makes abundantly clear is sproutco has never grown a marijuana plant in his life.
And theres a big difference between adding boron to your plants and adding Borax.

This company uses the stump remover (potassium nitrate) and borax in their fert. Nothing wrong with either. http://www.plantmarvel.com/130044_hi_k_spec_tech_sht.pdf
