hermie

[budman678]

i am 4 weeks into flowering...buds are stacking, trichy and smelly...

on a couple of the chem99s i found some immature male flowers. not bunches, just random stick on balls underneath some of the lower growth..

is this a deal break?
should i just chop and cut my losses?
is it possible to pick the male flowers every couple days?
will the male flowers come back ten fold?
is it possible the plants can grow out of it?

these were untested beans i got as freebies from seedbay. they lookin good. the thread is in the signature of my email

what do you all think?

Its cool man when I get something like that I clone it and give it a few more runs, if it still has ball sacks on the third round I know its not me and it gets winged out..... o ya and it gets put in my male room cuz u don't want hermi in your genetics

 

[budman678]

well, i only have 6 plants. if two or three are hermed that ruins my bumper crop!

Na not ruined u might of got hermis that are sterile and produce no seeds. But put the hermis on one side and the good ones on the other and refrain for using a lot of fan movement and it wont move the pollen around with no wind.. good luck bro no worries u can still smoke it

 

[wilbur]

nope! pull them out!

 

[budman678]

thanks so much for the input brother. its greatly appreciated

i only have five plants....will a few males flowers seed out the whole crop to where its not even consumable.

i am trying to keep on top of them...i have found 2 males flower over the past 5-6 days.

has anyone found male flowers around eek four and still cut down killer herb?

Well your 4 weeks in so if they are not more than a few found I would just pinch them off and look for them twice a day. I don't think a couple over looked pollen sacks will seed to the point of ruining your crop, but keep the slight hermi ones at the far end from the fan and the others close to the fan. The fan can sometimes help reduce pollen from reaching the non hermi plants if strategically placed.

Don't get me wrong, you can/t prevent pollen from getting to the others, but can at least miumize it. As stated above, they could be non viable _ which would be nice.

Oddly enough, I have found slightly herm plants to sometimes be the most potent of the bunch, but this could just be me.

Make sure there are no light leaks, even a minute or so at night to water. Some plants are extremely light sensative.

i took pics of them a few weeks back when they were sleeping. i cant imagine that caused the slight hermie issue. good idea about keeping the offender in the corner away from the fan.

its not tooo bad, i dont have nanners sticking out of the buds i just had some hangers at the bottom of the canopy...

i got high off some sour diesel and chopped one of the querkles bc she was she male flower/ i sort of regret it in retrospect. i could have just quarantined her better...it was the most fruity grapey weed ever.

the chemdog family is known to show nanners around week 4 i hear....im on constant vigil.

 

[budman678]

also, if it was stress induced, wouldnt they not be true hermies. if i get shit straightened out they should not show nanners in the future?

kinda of like, a one-time thing huh?
