Hermie - has it ruined my plants?

help me out please!!!

checked my BB plants (4.5 weeks into flowering) last night and she had little pods coming out all over the bud sites on her lower branches.

on checking my other 2 x white widows tonight they also have a couple of the same looking pods on a few of their lower branches - not as many as the BB tho.

check out the pics - they are all of the BB but both of the WW are simillar.

Since there are no more ladies in my grow room what should i do? I know they are probably hermies - or one hermied and polinated my other ladies. it was due to probably heat stress as i moved the fan that is blowing on my bulb the other week and the temps went up to 32 dgrees celsius at one point - not good).

i am gutted - please help.

well it's hard to tell much from the pics but it does look like it may have been pollinated.Not much you can really do at this point if they are all pollinated but to look for male flowers and eliminate them. Just keep growing them out I guess.

^I agree with him. It's really hard to tell from the pics, but I will say that i didn't see anything that is clearly a male pod. It also does look to be pollinated, because the pistils shouldn't be that brown already, which is a good indicator that they've been pollinated. Have you had any light leaks? I'm asking because high temps don't usually cause hermies to form. I ran temps in the 100*(37*C) range, for weeks, last year and didn't have any problems. I'm not saying that it can't happen, just saying that there might be another reason.

You should probably let them finish out of the damage is already done(the pollinating), and you'll get some okay smoke. It won't be as potent as it should be, but it'll still be decent. You could even turn it into hash if it is too crappy, so that's always an option.

thanks alot guys - no light leaks although i did have an socket short the other day and the room was plunged into darkness through the middle of the day for about 10mins.

also through the first 1.5 weeks of flower the extension lead cord had a red led that i hadnt taped over, could have been this?

my humidity has been low too - 35% at night and 20% in day could this have caused it?

could flash photography have caused this?

what do i do now then? I have 2 more BB plants in my veg cab that i wanted to flower asap but i will not put them in there now, also all my pollinated girls in the flower room have had clones taken off them so do i just bin all the clones in case its the genetics or just flower when the others are done and keep a closer eye on them?

well carfully pick off the banannas if there is anymore, and keep growing them out if you want, You'll still get bud but seedy and not very good. Or if you're ansy to get your plant in there, toss 'em and CLEAN your grow room well with diluted bleach and put them in.

like everyone else said, just try to pick out any sacks, you can and might as well leave any seeds to mature though. I personally wouldn't grow them indoor incase they all hermie but would be decent for outdoor if you have no plans.

as far as prevention for the future, temps can cause hermies, but tbh if you were taking pics in the dark that would be the more likely culprit imo. I blew a breaker for half of a light cycle before it was flipped back on, and my sleestack x skunk and trainwreck both were on the verge of herming. They both started to shoot out bananas but from only 1 bud site, and they seem to have stopped and are dying off. Very close call as I am only in week 4. The red light on your power bar probly isn't enough to trigger photosynthesis, but tape it anyways. Your humidity is a bit low, with sudden high temps that could also cause some stress.

don't let it get you down, as my friend tells me it is much better to make all your mistakes early on, as frustrating as it may be it's better than getting your first 2 grows perfect, expanding your setup only to run into problems and not know the fix.

good luck man, youll still have some tasty chron, just not quite as strong.
