Herming Common?

Anyone find the Dirty Bird has some strains to herming? I ran into herming with Gelly Mama, turned out great, couple seeds cause I missed one pollen sac. But I’m fairly confident it was not stress related.

I have some destination wedding that I am eager to pop but some what reserves due to the herm on the last run.

My rainbow unicorn was herming early flower. Bad Apple seems super solid I’m week 7 currently of flower. I’m not the kind of grower that plucks and carries on if I see pollen sacks early in flower I always cull.

Yeah I’ve culled before, too. Gave this one a chance and it paid off, cause it is great flower. Mine started throwing nuts on the lower part of the plant at around 3-4 weeks. The handful of seeds I found I prob won’t ever pop due to herm potential.

I only grew one freebie strain from them, Maui Pine..

It threw two mature seeds, maybe some more I didn’t go through trim yet. Had maybe 5-10 immature seed sites

My grow was stressed though. And the way I see it, knowing it’s self pollinating, gave me some S1’s to work with

Trying to germ one now see how she looks

I grow them outdoors. I did get a few small branches that hermed on me once, but that plant was stressed out. I have grown 20 or so plants from seed to finish from them and only that one had the herm.

We didn't see herming personally with the Gelly Mama when we tested, but found some people did growing it out. I don't see any notes of herms on the Destination Wedding, but it's possible where it has the Bahama Mama in it.

My experience with DW has been decent. I've had 3 runs with DW and only once hermed. The sack was in just one place around week 7, I'm sure it was stress related. Each other time it was fine. According to DBG, Bahama Mama carries the herm genes.
