SOIL A Happy Ending

[TheKieftan]

So after getting my first plant a clone I decided it might be wise to cover more bases my clone was already about 10” when I decided this so the two banana mango seeds I started were quiet a ways behind but they were very Sativa and my clone was very indica I also had been topping the clone very frequently and only topped the banana mangoes once in the end they were nearly the same height the bms just had WAY less girth the grow went very smoothly which I knew wasn’t my normal luck so when I discovered my two bms had herm’d I wasn’t super surprised I immediately removed hoping to save my main clone the bms looked frosty and smelled heavenly but from everything I knew herm weed was supposed to be awful harsh weak weed well I trimmed and hung them and hoped for the best after a few days out of curiosity I smoked a star burst sized nug and oh my god the smoke was so smooth the taste so delicious the high so soothing it’s probably the second best thing I’ve ever smoked yeah it’s just stuffed with seeds but that’s also a good thing for me I don’t mind seedy weed I love seed hunting and grinding that sticky herb between my fingers well I’ve smoked a few more nugs over the last week and I’ve already noticed an improvement the high is amazing there’s a powerful soothing upliftedness paired with a body high that feels like soaking in a warm bath the moral of this story is don’t give up on your herms they could be scrumptious weed also for anyone curious they were fem Banana Mango a cross of mango trees banana OG and blueberry muffins from humboldt seeds

Nice it's always a great feeling to smoke your own grown weed. Now you have a bunch of fem seeds

I've never noticed a difference in weed from a hermed plant vs one that hasn't, except for seeds. The biggest thing it does is hurt yields, but only if there's a lot of seeds. Otherwise everything else should be almost exactly the same.

Cheers to TheKieftan love happy ending growers. It pays to keep them healthy and happy for rewards are so pleasent. Both hubby and me feel our muscles and arthurititis aches are much less noticable using our daily doses. I'm working towards adding more CBD plants also.

Well done, Young Padawan, will be watching for your next adventure. Out of desperation I have sampled a few 6 week buds after decarb at 270 degrees for 40 minutes. I get a light uplifting creative effect. I'm thinking I should lock my grow cabinet and hide the key until they mature. I really don't want to go to the dispo, lol!

Some of the best strains in the world have been created by accident due to some hermie plant. Many of the most stable and reliable genetics have been worked on for years to prevent this from happening. Hermie traits have nothing to do with smell, taste, potency, or anything but making seeds

Good for you. Good feeling to smoke your own. On to the next grow!

Congrats @TheKiefaan The best weed that I have ever smoked in my life I grew myself. Such a great hobby!! When I think back at all of the crap I bought over the years (and most of the time I was happy to even get it) it is so gratifying to smoke a bowl of some pretty good stuff I grew myself. Enjoy!
