cookies cross hermed

[Piff Rhys Jones]

I just had a look at your second set of pictures and I really don't think they look stunted for week 5. Some strains tend to develop slow and then mature fast near the end. I wonder if maybe they are just slower flowering plants than what you are used to, and the hermies are making you worry about pollination unnecessarily.

Peace

Hi,

I know the pictures don't look that bad but it hasn't got bigger since then, it stopped at end of the 4th week and now it's middle of 6th week.
Anyway, i'm in a process of acceptance, i just hope they will get as dense and heavy as possible for the size they have.
And next year will be better for sure

Peace

ive grown out the SSSDH fem beans ....no hermies but one did get attacked by PM like ive never seen...only that one....no other pmon other plants so i killed her off and that was that

herb was spectacular

If they did get pollinated almost two weeks ago you will definitely see pistils turning color at this point. I would examine the buds on the remaining plants and see if any pistils appear to have died back.

Peace

i grew one pack chem d cookies but there was not a single ball even though they were very stressed.I do not understand why this happened to you.

 

[jammie]

i grow a lot of poly-hybrids and cookie crosses. i've used dutchmaster's reverse for the last 6-7 years and have never had a plant hermie. out of 12 plants from last years grow, i've found 3 seeds.

I've never had testes on my paradise seeds fem strains but on some you get these little 'crunchy" parts in the very center of the buds going the length of the flowers.Look real close and they can only be one thing,male parts.Some very premature seeds and some I think I don't knwow what the hell they are lol.All in all paradise does a good job.And the late hermies are killer in quality normally.I jst take a minute and anything whitish or or just not female gets removed.

sounds like bad seeds! you should not have to be more diligent checking for herms that's just bullshit LOL at that! those seeds are not the quality you want in your garden those plants were full blown herms actually environmental stress like your timer which did nothing to them BTW would have created "better" seeds LOL don't save them thats garbage they are of no value. The cookies are hermies look at DNA genetics they crossed THE cookies cuts from the cookies fam and made a ton of crosses all hermies thats why you don't see any cookies from DNA beware the cookies and the crumbs surrounding them! Good luck I'm sure you will have a great next grow

It all depends on the cross. Any cookie crosses from cgs are tested so you won't find many herms. But there is other gsc crosses that almost every plant herms. That's why they're tested. But it does vary heavily depending on the cross. Not all cookie crosses are hermi bombs. And seeing that the plants stopped growing there is obviously some environmental factors happening. Never heard of a plant that stops growing part way through flower because of bad seed.

Hey,

It's not the cookies crosses that stopped producing, it's all the other ones. The cookies i took them all out.
I agree that there are probably other reasons to why they stopped growing but i just can't figure out what...

The things i have done differently from my previous grows were vegging under 250wMH instead of T5s which made them stretchier during veg but they stretched less during beginning of 12/12, kind of different structure than with the T5s.
I gave them a bit less water but more often than usual.
I didn't lolipopped as much as usual because i wanted more flowers in the lower parts with the under-lighting i do.
I sprayed water on them when i found out the hermies to try to inactivate the pollen. (maybe that???)

Environment:
Temps were between 24/27°C during lights on and 17/20 lights off.
Humidity was pretty low but it's often the case during winter -> 35/40%
As i said, one night at end of 2nd week, the timer shit that got my under-lighting stay on for maybe 3 hours more.

Nutrients:
Bio canna vega, rhizo, flores, boost (as usual)
Og tea veganic special sauce for beneficials (new)
Hygrozyme (as usual)
Bio Bloombastic for week 3/4/5 (new)
Never over recommandations
PHed at 6.0 to 6.5 every time.

I water when the pot is light...

And plants looked healthy.

So i don't know...

 

[GSPfan]

Bugs?

 

[sourkush]

Bugs?

I don't think so.
Nothing visible on the leaves, nothing visible in the soil. No spots on the leaves. The plants didn't deteriorate. They just stopped producing.
It's not from clone. I clean my tent with bleach before any grow. I wash my hands before i touch plants. etc

Oh yeah the smell is just amazing. Sorry to hear about it yielding small. Last time i grew 2, both were more than 40g in the same configuration (16plants/600w/4x4tent) (one was tasteless though, the other one was amazing)

It's the best smoke i've grown from about 60 seeds

sounds like we both have the lovely smelling tangie pheno thats a crap yielder,,,,the other smells fine is shaping up to yield well,,,,s2

Well if it's not bugs then it doesn't make sense to me. Something is definitely going wrong in your garden though. I would just attribute the timer issue to the hermi problem but the plants not growing points to a bigger issue. Hopefully you can get your garden under control so you can grow out the rest of those cookie crosses. Pure fire from what I've seen. Maybe move your problem to a more appropriate section and you might get some better answers.
