    Lightbulb Recommend a strain for a third time lucky grow!

    So we are just over 4 weeks into flower and it would appear they have turned hermaphrodite
    Link to our grow diary here https://www.thctalk.com/cannabis-foru...post1070568218




    We've had a couple hiccups in the last week which i think has caused this issue, and intend to get a better timer to rule that out (got left on over ride as well....) and going to get a cooltube as that is an issue in the current grow...

    Any way, please suggest some tough well known genetics for our next grow, third time lucky and all.
    I intend to do 3 plants this time as 4 was too much
    Ideally 100% indica so height is not an issue....


    Go go go


    My Grow Diaries

    1st - Master Kush No 1 - 14oz Dry turned hermaphrodite
    2nd - LSD -Train Wreck - Girl Scout Cookie - Chocolate Skunk - 3.8oz Dry turned hermaphrodite

    Current
    3rd - Bulk Cheese & Purple Kush

    Hello buddy, sorry to here about your hermies.☹

    I'm just coming to the end of my 6th grow. My first was a impromptu bagseed grow in a tiny little cupboard in my shed. I had poor equipment and that hermied 2 weeks from the end. Still got about 20grams to smoke tho.😉

    Then I upped my game and built my grow room and proper gear.
    I bought some Amnesia lemon beans from Barnes farm. I highly recommend you try these.
    I grew 2 seeds in 1 12ltr pot (beacuse I was still noob).

    I got a very nice smoke and a big yield for a noob. They grew to about 15/18 inches tall.

    Since that 2nd grow I have done at least 1 amnesia lemon every grow (except this grow I'm on now) as my growing techniques have improved so has the weed.
    It's lovely man and so strong and hardy.

    None of the amnesia I've grown have gone over 2 foot tall. It's 40% indica and 60% sativa.

    The last 1 I grew I got around 4oz off her in soil.

    Highly recommend them matey.
    Good luck and I'll be keeping my eye open for your new diary 😉

    Dinafem strains are very stable in my experience.
    So are paradise, sensi and royal queen

    Thier genetics are rock solid

    I would recommend Critical Jack, wappa and critical from the above respective breeders, but there are plenty of others.
    Skunk 1 or Northern lights from sensi are also solid strains

    The strain wont make a gnats cock of difference if your environment and lighting timers are not on the case.
    Get that sorted first, then choose any strain you like. Leave it and whatever you grow will hermie

    Don't worry, i will be getting a decent digital timer.
    I've now got a cool tube.

    If you don't know my set is as follows;

    1.2 x 1.2 x 2m tent
    600W Dual spec HPS
    6" Rhino Filter & Extractor with a variac fan controller
    InkBird Heating/Cooling Thermostat
    Dehumidifier & Dehumidifier

    Air-Con unit

    We have just invested in a cooltube and as i say timer.
    I intend to get a humidistat to keep that more precise

    I'm also going to try and vent out of the tent much further (can't vent out side )

    I have also introduced a 16" fan which is flat on the floor which massively increases air movement so feeling positive for the next one with all these changes and wanted to choose a strain based of recommendations rather than just reading reviews on the actual websites

    Try a MEDUSA, they are a 50/50 hybrid. Smokes really good and grows super buds. Here is a picture of one I did with a 220W LED Right at 6oz, imagen what it would do under your 600W. Good luck and happy growing.

    Just top and ferm them about 4 times, and Veg under 900W CFL for two Months, before switching over to the 220W LED. I also feed them Kool Bloom, and Maxi Bloom. No training just let her grow. The nutes have everything you need, you don't need to look for anything else it all in there.

    in my opinion I don't think big bud xxl femenized seeds from ministry of cannabis should be overlooked, 80% indica and 20% sativa...one of the highest yielding seeds out there,would definitely recommend doing a bit of background into this as I think it is exactly what you are looking for,real tough plant as well mate!!
