ok so almost 6 weeks into flower and one of the 2 sour diesel mothers i vegged for 5 months are going hermie ive noticed male parts under some of the buds at the bottom of the plant and there is 1 seed growing on top of one bud on each plant these plants are over 5 feet tall there is only the 2 plants in that room and one smaller clone that i had to move out of the veg room. is there anything i can do? can i give them some superthrive what does it do that makes it bad during flowering? these plants are looking awesome and this had to start no more than 3 or 4 days ago there is barely any male parts i only found a few it really sucks after all the work and time i put into them this happens. i doubt i would be able to chop them early any suggestions or information would be greatly appreciated.

get the tweezers out mate and pull those bananas off, give them a little squirt with water first to keep the pollen down and yank them out of there, then do as cheddar says and try the dutch, hope you get it sorted.

thanks i will check that stuff out and i did pull off the male flowers i found has anybody had sucess with that dutch master reverse? and is it ok to foliar feed with how big the plants and buds are i just dont wanna cause any pm or any other problems and it says spray a few days into flower and then 10 days later im a little past a few days into flower has anybody used it this far in? i posted pics of the plants in another post about a week ago if anyone thinks that would help let me know and ill find them and post them here also i think maybe they went hermie because of being rootbound or maybe slight light bleaching happen when the 1kw hps light i have was to close after they stretched but it barely did much and only to a few tops that i couldnt tie down

look into dutch masters reverse and saturate. I used it once to stop seeds and discovered all the benefits. It will stop seed formation. There are other benefits as well. It also seems to let your plants know they are ladies... and they act accordingly... growing huge buds. If you've found one seed, you'll find more. I once had to spray a plant that was 5 weeks along. I made sure there was a fresh flow of air into my grow room and everything was fine.

how did your bud turn out after spraying it on the buds did they taste like the spray or did they have plenty of time to get rid of the chemicals through evaporation?

How is the reverse working out for you, I have a similar prob at around the same timescale, currently in between the 1st/2nd application at week 4-5 flower and plant is now showing good crystals, but was concerned about spraying the nice ongoing crystal coverage
