i removed the balls on 1 of the fs x line c99 and i got rid of one as it went totally ball crazy and was the runt anyway. aswell as the balls i notest simlar teardrop ball things instead of round balls on the them they have a pistil coming out of them i did not touch these as i thought they were not a threat also i havent found and open one, agfter checking plants daily and removing the balls now only 2 weeks from harvest 2 of the 4 northern lights have tiny brownish green seeds popping out through the tops of the buds just like the photos of seeded plants this really anoys me, as i was told that removing the balls would solve the problem, again i have not stressed these plants in anyway and they are 100 perfect, is it too late now and what will the effect on potency be as they are still extremely frosty.

you have a bunch of herme smokin to do.
they might not be the most potent, but they'll do sometin

when you say the ladies are not stressed, this may be there way of saying they are!

beans will prolly be herme too

The balls have nothing to do with potency, nor do the few seeds that you got. You don't have hermies. If you go to fms website they explain this. How can you have a 100% perfect grow, and still think that the male balls effect the potency? You have nothing to worry about. You should be happy that you will harvest some great weed. Also do you have any pics?

Reggae, if you are having real bad hermie problems then you may need to check your setup. I reckon 95% of hermie problems are caused by light leaks so if your set up is not quite there then you are going to have problems.

Check for light leaks where you grow and I mean really check. I had some problems with the skunk special but it was because when I turned the light on in my bedroom the light leaked into the grow cupboard. You live and learn, once I sorted it I haven't had a single hermie since.
