Whats gonna happen since i cut my leaves

The plant knows what it wants and needs - it will show you



if you only listen




if it's attached - leave it alone; or is that, leaf it be.?

The goal of any grow - especially the first few, is always get to harvest. I'm pretty sure - your pointed in the correct hemishpere - ok your going the right direction.

Even as they start to turn yellow they are sources of amino acids and protiens, vits and precious resources. Why deprive your plant of these?

save that picture,,,

something tells me it will be a lot funnier a few years from now.

And from my experience, stress can trigger a hermi prone plant to go to the other team. over/under watering did it to me a while back, and once in a heat wave.
Being attacked by a weed wacker - could be.
If the trait is there - it will come out sooner or later. Thrash the genes

What excatly do you mean by hermi-prone?Light manipulation is the only way to cause a herm that I know of,I really dont think abuse is going to do it.If by hermi-prone you mean its a genetic thing then its going to happen anyway whether you beat the crap out of it or not.I think a lot of people tend to blame themselves when its unwarranted,unless you intentionally interrupted the dark hours with light 3 or more times in a row or give it gibb acid or other chems, I dont know how in the world you make make a genetic female or male hermie

ever grown mex pot?



Hermi prone


sooner or later the vast majority of females will sprout balls - not the lil nanners - - pollen producing BALLS


hermi is a genetic trait and is to be eliminated IMO

if you like seeds in your bud, you ought love hermis

I don't like seeds in my bud unless I planed it.

1600 posts and you don't understand hermaphrodites? -- it's easier to understand than spell

You haven't grown schwag seeds have you?

Want some?

Some strains try to put out male flowers late into flower and while some don't consider the a hermi trait - I do - I call any female that can be coerced red into self pollinating a hermi.

If a female if chemically treated our hormone induced - that plant is not a hermi - there is a big difference.

Go read up on Boron - it appears a good dose of that will also make hermis

Stress causes hermis or induces them


Which came first - the chicken or the egg?

Or the dreaded HERMI CHICKEN

I agree 100% with Skeletor. I have totally abused some plants to the point of almost death and they have never turned hermi on me and still, reluctantly produced buds. I know it's a sin to abuse harmless plants, but trust me - these one's deserved it lol. I have had a plant go hermi on me from light stress, and that was done un-purpose too.

Why would anyone intentionally grow mex schwag?No man I havent grown it to answer your question.If you want to believe that beating up on a weed will somehow magically get it to change sex where it wouldnt under "good conditions",go ahead and believe that.I'll continue trying to let folks know of my experiences over the years,not what I've read on OG lol

Your ignorance and inexperience are answer enough and the fact you brag about it and belittle others says it all.

I would get rid of the hermies, just go ahead and toss them, but that's just me. Love the others, be gentle and use this first grow as a learning experience. You will get some buds out of it and your next grow will produce even more. :joint:

Spend more time growing and less professing what you really don't know, - and add some learning -

for a hobbiest - you still have a long road ahead.

OK seriously speaking no more back and forth like kids I know about gibb acid and other chems,thats not what I was referring to.I was talking environmental.So tell me from your experience what does it?Too much heat?Too much humidity?Not enough water?Generally talking down to it and hurting its feelings?Sexual abuse?What exactly cause this plant which I'm assuming to be 100% male or female,to suddenly take on flowers from the other sex?Really I want to know

Gotta go walk the dog now bro but I'm real interested in what you have to say,if you've abused clones that you knew were one sex or the other for sure,and it hermed on you,I want to know about it.
