Im not 100% sure about any of the hairs retracting and changing color. Some of them have shorter hairs and are turning dark, but they may have just been smaller buds to begin with. Not much I can do about it now.
There is not a lot of info out there and much of what I have read is conflicting and/or confusing.
I am assuming that this is due to my stressing them almost to death with the Neem treatment, but I wonder if they were stressed before I got them. Its also possible these clones were taken from a plant in flower. They were showing sex when I got them and had no tops and all the stems had been cut off. Looking back on it, they makes me suspitious that the seller cut them from plants that were already flowering. Seems like that would have been a major stress factor as well. OR - they could just have bad genetics.
I need to take a closer look at the two ‘extra’ clones in my bat tub and see if they show any signs of nanners.
My question is - if I let these go on until I get mature seeds, will the seeds have the same tendency to hermie? Will they be some odd ball inbred mutant, or is it possible or desirable to keep those seeds and try to grow them again?
The two extras are - very slowly - going back to veg mode in my tub and look very happy and content - other than growing very slooowly due to low light levels. If they do re-veg successfully, would clones from them be ok to use?
On the other hand, maybe I should just not take any more chances and toss them?
