"do you know the percentage of sativa/indica in NL x Haze?"
No , but its much more NL than haze . Haze is about the longest growing plant there is before it flowers . Haze is very long and thin . And there are not just one original haze plant , there are still several . Most of the original haze types have been lost though . The NL was added to make the plant smaller , more compact , produce more buds , flower earlyer and to stop you breeding . Real haze grown indoors is a 12 week plant and its not possible to grow it outdoors in northern Europe because it takes till winter to flower = it dies first . It was a mixture of mexican and columbian parents . There were also at least 5 different strains of pure northern lights .
Problems with the electric company are one of a growers biggest problems so if you are a desperate kamikazi you use a "go backer" or if your clever a gas generator wich also produces CO2 wich is good for your plants .
I`ve seen mother plants that were more than 20 years old and had stemms as thick as your arm with bark on them just like a tree has . Breeding is the best way to go as clones degenerate , look at Holland for the proof .
I used to have three sorts of out door plants called jehova grass because it was grown by...... A JEHOVAS WITNESS !!!! The one was harvested and dry before the first of september , another by the middle of september and the special one = 4- 5 meters tall by the end of september . Guess who took my seeds off me ?
"I met this lady that was saying she was reverting hermies back to normal females."
Shes lying . Or maybe she uses "monoatomic gold".............
" My boss told me to flip my baby seedlings to 12/12 to find out the sex but that proved to provoke hermies"
= bad plants , badly bred wich should be thrown away . If you dont you end up with something that is similar to ruderalis = it self polinates earlyer each year . Hermafradites breed hermafradites and should be avoided at all costs or you are going to fuck your grow attempts up . You need pure strains to breed . Thats the reason the Dutch sell hybrids because its a waste of time breeding them and after the fist generation they become unstable . As you said Drugless you only have to look at them to know what sex they are .
"So many things can make a plant hermie."
No . Its the genetics and bad breeding = its got hermafradite in it somewhere . Like you say maybe thai . Avoid "thai" like the pest . The thais never had a grass growing culture . The legends about thai being good came from all the farmers boys from idaho who had never smoked anything in their lives before that got sent from vietnam on leave to thai brothels . Thailand is run by the mafia = the military , like Burma . There are generaly two sorts of comercial grass available . A brown one and a better green one . If thai people want good looking and good smelling grass the go to Cambodia . If they want nice grass they go to Burma and if they want realy good grass they go to Laos where the things that were called thai sticks came from . Thai sticks arent wound around sticks like the ones you get in Holland , or buds tied together with hemp fibers . They are the top buds , the ones that look like bullrushes with the bud leaves removed .
AS you say Drugless its very easy to identify the sex of plants just by looking at them when you have experience . If you get a magnifying glass and look at their armpits you can tell even earlyer as they grow what are called "Pre- flowers" there .
Feminised seed are the product of greedy scum and should be avoided like the pest . Breeding pure strains and doing your own crossing is the high road to sucess .
"i believe over cloning drops the yield"
I`ve not got the same experience . We grew from clones for ???? years and the yield went up fron 2 - 300 hundred gramms a square meter to 600 gramms a square meter ..... but the power went down the drain .
That wasnt ment to be the be all and end all , its ment as a basis for discussion . I respect both of you and experience and knowlege .
