DW2's HERMIE SEED TEST
GROW #6 - HERMIE SEED TEST
This test is to see if the seeds produced from a 'hermied' plant, in particular, a plant with the 'nanner' form of hermorfaditic trait, produces female or 'feminized' seeds. The hermied seed used all came from plant number III harvested on 7/27/2016. The seeds were selected at random, irregardless to their color or shape. The weeks are listed as the begginning of the week and are in this format 'grow week / bloom week' and the dates are month / day and are all 2017.
5/04 wk 0/0 Started 10 seeds on paper towel in pH 5.0 water, covered with plastic wrap and aluminum foil in a foil pan.
5/06 wk1/0 Only 5 seeds sprouted. Placed sprouts in R1, locations I, II, III, V, and VI. Start five more seeds in pan.
5/08 wk1/0 Only 1 seed sprouted. Placed sprout in R2, location IIX.
6 seeds out of 15 seeds is a germination rate of 40%.
5/14 wk1/0 Moved plants I and VI from R1 to R2 locations XI and VII, respectively to ballance number of plants in each reservoir.
5/27 wk3/0 Start 12/12 light scheduale.
Interum Feed, drain, repeat, etc.
6/14 wk6/3 1st pistils showing on plants III and V in R1.
6/22 wk6/3 1st pistils showing on plant XI in R2.
6/23 wk6/3 1st pistils showing on plant II in R1, and on plant VII in R2.
6/24 wk7/4 1st pistils showing on plant IIX in R2. All six plants are showing femal traits!
7/08 wk9/6 Plant IIX in R2 showing some wilt on stems after feed change!
7/10 Plant IIX in R2 dead! Remove. Others (VII and XI) OK. Plant II in R1 showing some wilt as well.
7/15 wk10/7 Found light leaks in both reservoirs, fixed leaks, and drain and feed.
7/19 Plant II in R1 still wilting. Found air stones 'root bound', replaced air stones in reservoirs.
7/20 Plant II dead in R1, remove. Plants III and V still showing some drooping leaves, but ok.
8/05 wk13/10 Plants V in R1 and XI in R2 not looking good, many wilted stems
8/09 Plant XI in R2 dead, remove, VII doing ok.
08/12 wk14/11 Both plants in R1 wilting worse, drain and try a flush to try to clear up the wilting.
08/15 No improvement in plants III and V. Harvest both plants.
08/19 wk15/12 Plant VII in R2 still growing and building buds. Waiting for some cloudy tricomes!
Plant II's yeild was such a small amount that it was placed in the 'trim' bag for future DIH (total of 120.7 g with all other trim). Plant XI (premature) yielded 27.1 g of bud, plant V yeilded 7.2 g of bud and three seeds (so far), plant III yeilded 72.8 g of bud. Plant VII is still building buds (as of 8/20).

Many respected folk germinate that way but I see it as an exposure to unnecessary accidents.
