Hermie High Times Centerfold pic!

[TedNugget]

Anyone else notice this? It's in the newest edition of High Times magazine (May 2015, 420 celebration cover).

It's on page 82. It's the picture of Jorge's Diamond #1.
It's not super noticeable but if you look close, you will see them. There are a number of little yellow hermie fingers through out the bud.

I sometimes think people don't even realize that those buds even have those little hermaphrodite flowers. Obviously High Times and whoever is growing that Jorge's Diamond did not notice, otherwise why in the world would they post a full page centerfold picture of it, right? LoL

Those stupid little hermies are like a f'n epidemic now a days!
Sooo many seeds I crack seem to sprout 1 or 2 of those tiny little yellow fingers. I don't remember having to deal with us problem years ago before feminized seeds were so wide spread...

This is hilarious! Most people don't even open their eyes! Good find! hahaa

 

[bboybungus]

I caught that one too...

 

[iTarzan]

IMHO people growing for smoke are too worried about hermies. As long as it doesn't get seeded more than a few spread here and there. I could sell tons of weed like that and nobody would ever say there was a male flower in a bud. It just needs taste and power.

 

[LEF]

In some places, you can sell shit.

No need for much taste or power.

Excellent, maybe in a few years the newest hermie-spawned elite will spring from this

 

[stoned-trout]

I have seen so called herms in a lot of their pics...late stage nanners are more common then most think...yeehaw..if you let most strains go till the very end I would guess around 80 percent or more will pop a few nanners..IMHO.. even sour bubble throws a few now and then ..not one seed in all these years tho

 

[blastfrompast]

I have yet to find a strain that doesn't throw nanners if you let it go long enough, It doesn't mean the pollen is fertile or there is even much in there...

Most hightimes pics seem to be taken from bud that is flowered longer than most cash croppers are willing to go...so you will see the odd nanner...

Nothing like full blown balls tho....that is what I consider a HERMI

 

[MJPassion]

Just to be clear...

A female that shows male parts, period, IS A HERAPHRODITE! Think chick w dicks.

Maybe HT is preparing us for the "new weed" to come.

Also...
most of the HT readers prob don't grow so they wouldn't know what to look for in the first place.

You should find some new strains bro, I let some of my strain go 16 weeks with no herm issues, I grow organically and rarely get hermies, if I do it's usually genetic to the plant. Just to see what happened I let a psychosis go 24 weeks once the thing was brown and glistening all over it never hermied. Wasn't to bad to smoke either.

 

[MJPassion]

I had a BC BUD DEP0T Swt Tooth #3 that I allowed to go for 100+ days n never saw a nanner one!

 

[stoned-trout]

well I guess almost all strains are herms then..ak 47 ,c99,sb,black domina,n lights,hindu kush,space queen,killer queen and a huge list of others all have had a nanner or 2 pop up here and there..never any seeds...I let mine all go as long as possible and if I look REAL HARD I can find a few usually top of bud.....yeehaw..this run I found one nanner

Ding Ding Ding.....you might only find 1-2 per lb but they are there...my ww starts showing them at week 9 of flower..

Come over to the history of herms

 

[The Dopest]

I have read that a lot of females will produce nanners late in term as a sort of self preservation. They try to produce seeds so that there will be another generation after them. It has nothing to do with good/bad genetics, just life/survival.

 

[TedNugget]

All you people saying that just because they don't produce actual seeds that they don't F up the weed, I could not disagree more!

Just because it's not totally viable pollen doesn't mean it don't affect the crop. Look closely, very closely. The calyx will produce the tiniest little seed.

Also, I don't think the buds ever reach their full potential. And it throws the taste off too. Instead of a pipe tasting good till the last hit, it will taste ok or good for a few hits and then taste like crap or One hit will taste real good and the next hit tastes funny. It's more harsh usually too.

Weed hit by hermie pollen is WAY different. If you've ever had super super dank tasty weed, like so good you can't help but smoke it like crazy just for the taste it leaves in your mouth. that is my standard. Anything less sucks. And a crop that was hit by hermie pollen will never produce the tastiest of tasty weed. Some hits may be tasty, but not all. And the weed breaks up differently too. I can tell immediately.

I've had some very very nice looking and smelling hermie plants. I just did a Blue Magoo and it was possibly the nicest looking plant I've ever had. But you could tell immediately upon trying to break it up that it got hit by the hermie pollen. It only grew like one male flower but that was enough to F the whole plant up! The whole room for that matter...
The weed is harder and had like tiny half formed seeds that you could not remove. Other plants had even tinier seeds, like the size of a pin head.

Sorry, I'm just very passionate about this subject lol. Because a lot of people I talk to about it have no damn clue what I'm even talking about. (in real life I mean). They don't even know hermie weed exists lol.

I know for a fact that the seeds we used to order (late 90's mostly) did NOT throw out ANY hermie flowers ever. Period. Well, not ever... Light leaks will cause this and sometimes stress will, but it was nothing like seeds are today. It only happened on the rarest of occasion and most strains never did.
It could be the feminized seeds, or it could be certain newer strains used for wide spread breeding are hermie tendent. I really don't know the cause. But it seems to me that it probably has something to do with feminized seeds. Like begets like after all - you breed using hermie/reversed plants, you will get more hermie plants...

It's getting harder and harder for me to find strains that don't ever throw out any male fingers. Even some of the "best" breeders strains are throwing out a couple tiny male fingers. It frustrates me to no end!
Ok, sorry for the rant.

Are you saying Hi Times TRIppED up Again ....lol No ..never ....lol

Icmag ...at least they can tell the difference ...lol

 

[stoned-trout]

some of the best weed I have smoked had a few nanners in the crop...so there goes that theory...yeefuckingha..the nanners form in the last week or so and no pollination occurs as most pistils are already shriveled..high times jumped the shark ago and isn't worth squat..

 

[CaStoner]

My current grow is from Rodelization method from previous harvest, best way to make feminized seeds, you have to look at the end product. Monster buds and you find a few nanners at the end of your grow is like finding gold..I might let some of my current crop go over peak harvest and collect some more pollen and create some more feminized seeds on the next grow.
