I have a feminized Church seed that has been looking great. Except about 3 weeks into flowering I'm seeing what I would determine as seed balls. However a leaf set above the area of balls, are white pistils that looks like a hopeful site for some nice buds. Check out the pics below. What do you think? And what should I do because I can not let the pollen sacks open up and ruin my flower room? I've never had to deal with a plant that shows hermie so early (if that's what this is?), and I'm not sure what to do with it.



(directed toward the potential seeds, not you )

Well since Feminized seeds are made by intersexing a plant(stressing a female flower or spraying hormones in buds to cause growth of male flowers) And because of this the plants still have this intersexual trait! It sux i know. Only when a feminized strain is really breed to its fullest that it gains the anti intersexual genes from its family! Since this takes up to 4 years. companies like gh were your church comes from, or BBB just pop out fem seeds after another, without being stable, so there comes your hermie, yours is just showing strong traits, i would just cut then off without leaving a stump or break them off with your fingers but by pinching with your nails so the wound gets closed a little bit and pests or plagues have less a chance to the moisture. Hopefully it only stays at certain branches! Its better to remove then to have a crop of seed, but watch it and see how the flowers move on the plant before you make your choices of cutting or whatever. However i am not saying that the seeds you guys purchase are not of quality, they are. Its just the herm traits can be less or greater just depending!

Just pinch em off

Thanks for the advice!

I'll definitely have to monitor it closely, and will be taking a scalpel to the seed-pod areas. I never knew Green House had that type of reputation. I guess clones are truely the best way to go about getting a new strain. All of my clones look great!

if its has a femenized trait would its hermie rate of the seeds be the same as when a regular girl hermies and u sow those seed or would you be able to use those seeds...........

So I took all of the balls off no problem... probably stressed the plant a little but whatever... it likes it .

Do I need to worry about pollen of any sort? I'm trying for a room full of sensimilla... seeds aren't welcome!

You will have to keep a close eye on everything constantly because most times they will grow back,just keep on taking them off if you dont want to get seeds.

Okay but do I need to worry about any pollen, or anything that'll turn surrounding flowering females to go hermie?

Not from the pics you posted, though terribly clear... they aren't near release yet. However, I doubt you will be able see/find/pick all the banana dicks from the plant as it continues to bud... they are stealthy. Would use fine-tipped tweezers instead with a cup of water... dip it in there each & every time you remove the dicks. Try to get at the dick deep down in the sack as if it rips, it'l jiz all over the place. How's that for imagery! Best brah!

Pollen cant turn other plants hermie,only stress and genetics can do that.Some plants hermie from the beginning some towards the end.
