On Shishkeberry: I just finished up the Shiskaberry and I have a few notes
gypsy nirvana on it, if anyone is interested. A
friend made my seeds; parents were Breeder Steve’s seeds. The notes below are only from one of the
Shiskaberrys that I have tested. With further testing I will the

Aroma
gypsy nirvana - The smell put a smile on a friends face tonight when I pulled out da' sample. But kaka has yet to
smell a thing. Allergies are a Mary Jane Seeds Ak47 Dehydrating Marijuana killin' and ka ain't a smellin'.
A bunch of Shisks are drying and I can’t smell
them.

That means that your grow room must be sealed to the point where it
is completely light proof. If you want to learn how to do this perfectly
then I suggest that you read up on 'Photography Dark Rooms', either
on the Internet or in your local library. Photographers use common
items that can be bought in most hardware shops to make their filmprocessing
rooms light tight. If you can replicate their ideas (basically
a thick black screening around the doorframes or any open light
points) then you will have a great system for flowering plants in. I
177
think most of you would have done this by now anyway if you listened
and took the advice on covering your grow with either Mylar or white
walls/boards. If you have prevented any light from leaking out, then
you have prevented light from leaking in!
Problems with 12/12
If you switch to 12/12 before pre-flowers have shown then you
may encounter the following problems.
- Stress related sex problems (Hermaphrodites).
- Abnormal bud growth.
Stress related sex problems MIGHT produce hermaphrodite
plants. The stress of what is sometimes called "early flowering" (it is
not really early flowering, there is no such thing as early flowering.
We will explain this in a moment) triggers the plant into a situation
where it thinks that its chances of reproduction are slim to none. That
situation is a condition called - 'self-pollination'. It does this by
producing both male and female flowers on the same plant. The male
flowers then pollinate the female flowers which will eventually
produce seeds. The reason for this is that the plant notices that the
photoperiod is irregular and that it should no longer be in the
vegetative cycle but in flowering. This shocks the plant into a last
ditch effort to receive pollen because it feels that it has missed its
chance to receive pollen already (in the wild males release their pollen
178
just around the time that females begin to flower and sometimes even
before that).
Figure 7.3 - This is what hermies look like. Notice that both
male pollen pods and female pistils are present on the plant. They are
hard to see and you should check your female buds every week for
signs of any male flowers. 1 and 2 indicate the hidden male flowers.
You should be able to see their lumps in this photograph if you look
close enough. Picture by Rasta Linus.

Figure 7.4 - Here is another shot of the hermie condition. The male
pods are not clearly visible when they first develop and this is why
checking for them is a must. Picture by Rasta Linus.

Figure 7.6 - These series of shots also show
181
the hermie condition clearly. Picture by Rasrta Linus.
Hermies cause problems because they may carry the hermie
trait with their offspring. In fact, genetically the hermie will only
produce female seeds and hermaphrodite seeds. It will never produce a
male seed. If you have ever seen all female seeds been advertised by
seed-banks then you shou
