Platinum Lemon Cherry Gelato Contest Shit Talk & Banter

H.A.F.

a.k.a. Rusty Nails
I keep a bottle on hand and spray once or twice for safe measure.
It might be more about toxicity in concentrates than smoking flower. That's understandable.

I can't imagine what we were smoking in the 70's, from the salt water soaked to the "Paraquat pot.
And no one died back then.
Seems people today have these weird reactions that weren't known in the past.
Weed has become another sterile product in society.
It's not fun like it used to be.
Its all the chemically produced food we've been fed for years not knowing any better. Everyone seems to have food allergies that weren't around back in the day. The Purell generation with the helicopter parents and no drinking from the garden hose or playing in dirt is the other factor.

In almost 9 years of growing, much of it perpetually, this was my first grow I didn't get to harvest. Yeah I'm one of those who only ever grew weed so there's that. I'm still in a prohibition state myself so I rely on it. I'll never buy another pre made substrate ever again and will add spinosad in my routine. This really sucks but I learned something so I guess it's not a total loss.
it's a bad deal in those states, remember who did what and keep voteing

Well folks,
I'll be the first negative Nancy here, by reporting so far ive got 1 plant thats throwing nuts...
If they was just on lowers , id of just plucked them and went on with it...

But this transvestite is popping them at every node and on the main newst growths .... Smh..

Yes im aware that these are tester beans but it still never makes u feel better to trash a plant uve got close to 2 months of time in..
I new this b4 i took the tester beans, so dont take this as me bitching and moaning... Just to inform others...

Ive been growing indoors the past 7 years and close to 25 years outside, but this my 4th plant ive ever seen thats a legit herm/dud..
And the times it has happened, it has been only on the "FEM" beans that had done it..

Never on regs so far ...🤔

Healthy af plant, no light leaks, no chemical/salt/nute burnt tips on leaves,
Vegged 18/6 for 4 n half weeks,Flowered 12/12,
Was mature when flipped...?
Dont think it was human error,
Just the way it goes these days , i guess....

These was the Zero Gravity's fyi..
Not bitching, just letting everyone no to keep your eyes peeled just in case you might have the same fate....
Thx ✌

The issue isn't really with fems it's with the people that are breeding with plants that they know were herms or hermed in terms beginning of life but stopped doing it on the second round. It happens. Plants will throw balls in there seed grows and never do it again feom clone so people keep those plants and use em to breed with. The only way for me to know 100 percent is to check offspring from the mothers and eventually cull them.out.
Growing from regs you still have to pull the males out so that point is kinda like either way you have to cull plants. If the mother used in a reg cross is herm prone than reg offspring can still be herm. I personally would never grow weed from seed . I would run them small and fast, grab keepers and run them back as clones and than you will never have seeded bud.
Looking for keepers for a nice run. Sounds sense for I.
A nice GG4 and a Platty Ice for the summer ☀

question to the growers that like the bean stalk plants? like just one branch with not many side branches reaching to the top? i want to share something ive learned that works amazing. to get level plants. but dont want to seem like an asshole or like im calling out ppls grows or style?
i like to shoot for 8 main branches. and its pretty easy to do. pm me if you would like to know and grow some bushier level plants?


this is not a post about the above member, but for the community itself! i see it alot in this comp and just want to help,

Good info man!
I totally agree with you, for the most part I top all of my plants.
I believe topped plants will always yield more!

I take no offense to your post.....I couldn't grow a bean stalk plant if my life depended on it!!
Though I do use little mini step stools....

I finished up my Texas toasted and getting ready to start over fresh, got all new coco and all that. I have 4 more platinum I can pop, my next run was all set to be all h's new creations. I have max ac, gg4 auto and apple fritter auto to run as well. I may throw a few stragglers in but I think that's the route I'll take
