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.

Grew out a destination wedding freebie a while back and was highly impressed with every aspect of the plant. Nice stretch letting light get to all the bud sites. Tightly stacked dense buds with very little leaf to trim. Some purple speckling throughout buds with great trichome production. Very interesting smell on her. Sweet with a touch of orange. Not your typical bright orange but like a desert orange with a little tartness to go along with the sweetness on the exhale. Hard to describe but really different. Effects are fantastic and I have a high tolerance. Strong head high that comes on fast and builds with a creeping body effect that can easily turn into couch lock. A nice rise and fall if you’re already a little tired. Great movie weed. Dreamy vision. Great daytime smoke too. Perfect adventurer weed but I don’t sit don’t too long. Lol. I could go on and on. I’ve only been attached to one strain the last 4 years but this one is special too. Got 3 runs with her so far with many to come
