| I started 5 beans out of a bag of Orange Bud "regular" (m/f) seeds. Four of them where males and one died early so I had to start the remaining 5. One seed did not sprout but 4 did it. Vegged for 35 days, first week under 72 watt fluoro light, then under a 400 watt Grolux wich was used also for the flowering stage.Vegged until 14" (35 cm) then switched to 12/12, they stretched a lot, finishing to be (even tied down a bit...) over 1.2 meters tall each (50" and over...). I was not very happy with those seeds: I also had a bag of "Skunk #1" with them who revealed fatal genetic problems,probably just an unlucky stock as all the Orange Bud females showed hermie bananas...
After 2 week the plants showed the sex: 3 females on 4 plants and all doin' good. I was very impressed about the growth vigour the plants shown till that moment, very fast growing, bushy and sane looking plants. At the 4th week of flowering I started to notice male bananas on all the 3 female left... 2 of them were chopped after 38 days of flowering due to too many bananas, the other one had bananas-cuttings every day till day 56 of flowering then was chopped. Anyway I found 8-10 seeds in the buds... Two of the plants were grown in soil (Plagron mix), Canna ferts (Terra Vega + Flores + ph 13-14), pH of the solutions was 6.5. One was grown in Canna Coco, with Canna a+b for ferts,Cannazym, pk 13-14 and a ph of 6.0 in vegetative stage and 5.75-5.80 during flowering from the 2nd week of 12/12. I had only 1 "pheno": the hermie big stretcher pheno, but the plant that flowered for 56 days was good both in resin production and in potency, with a dry skunk/pine smell that revealed some citrus orange backgrounds when cured (15-20 days). Although I had only hermies I can tell you that the one I smoked was really potent. If you are lucky enough to find a good resiner pheno with no hermie traits you should keep it as a mother... I don't like hermies much so I think I won't grow those beans again, also because some friends of mine reported hermie problems. The grow the plants were grown in also was used for a couple of batch of other seeds (Nirvana& Sensi), about 4 other strains and none of the females flowered (same medium/grow/ferts..everything...) has shown hermie traits... This makes me presume those traits were in the genetics (parents) of the seeds...
