Male & female on same plant, terrible shit, proper name hemaphodite

[loylty gets u nothing]

u getting the seeds from the wrong people then

i am basically growing a mix of seeds i have made myself

or other aussies have made and seem to have no hermie issues

sure u see the odd 1 every now and then and it is killed on the spot

 

on the other ahnd ive also had some of the best smoke i rate from a late hermieing female

shed throw male balls in week 6,they seemed to be sterile cause i never saw a seed amongst the buds

best advice if u cant source a more reliable seed base

maybe just find 1 quality true female and clone th ebejesus from her

all the best

Have been growing outdoors 4 many years, last year did some clones but had issues with mold any suggestions how to control mold during the rooting period ?

Rooting period?

 

Time it right should be ok mate. Strike them properly and healthy.

Harden them off. Go out after last frosts or even after early heavy dews.

 

Have a good run next

First and foremost... cleanliness

 

rinse tools and what ever you use as a propagating box with bleach solution (5%)

 

use new materials for striking media - rockwool, seed raising mix, coco etc, don't reuse old material for cuttings.

 

keep the cuttings warm... wont prevent mould on it's own but warm cuttings root faster that cold and can stand lower humidity levels much sooner.

 

that's all I can think of atm.

mongy right onto it.

 

i'm guessing by mophy you mean Hermaphrodite? Some bagseed, generally sativa has a high tendancy to go hermaphrodite.

Try some different seed. Happy growing.

Cheers for the advice, last time I was keeping the humidity at around 70% is this best or can it be lower to reduce mold risk

Just need more airflow into the grow area and out of the grow area to reduce humidity, Mine sounds like a jet engine but the humidity is perfect. =) GH72
