Big Bud gone hermaphrodite... help!!!!

In the end I chop down my hermie and dried it. It wasn't the most decent smoke, but If tried worse. And it gave a light buzz. Better than throw it away, right?

A Hermie doesn't reduce the quality ....... It just doesn't grow as much bud.... focuses on seed production rather then bud growth..... should just let them finish unless they are like 2 weeks into flowering or something..... if they are near the finish i would say let em finish lol

look on the bright side. herrmiees make feemale seeds dont they?

Yes every plant from a hermie seed will start as female but in the end will hermie. I have heard of some ppl growing hermie seeds and didnt see balls till the last few weeks of flowering...... I also heard that if you take the pollen from a hermie and use it on a pure female that it will produce female seeds and not have hermie traits .... but then again that is hard to believe cause the pollen sacks came from a hermie there for the new seeds should have hermie traits.... but then again i could be wrong idk ... dont believe everything ppl tell you trail and error ftw.

I have used reverse with good sucess. no drop amount of tri's or color of tri's. had a few that didn't hermie and you couldn't tell the difference under a microscope

Hey I just found a couple odd hermie flowers at the bottom of my plant, it doesn't appear that the are spreading, most of the bud is still resin covered and 5-10% red already, the pods on the male flowers aren't open yet, but I'm thinking I kinda wouldn't mind letting it go and feminize a couple seeds in its own flower, Now can a contain the pollen somehow? Would I be able to wrap or cover the flower spot so to not interfere with other female flowers? Or should I just say fuck it and cut the little pods off? Its it easy to contain male pollen??

please just chop those motherfucker male sacks, but carefully just put a small cup full a bit with water and take a scalpel and precisely cut the male flower. if is not too late. peace bro

I've got one plant out of seven and none have showed any male flowers but one pushed out some seed pods. Anyone ever have this happen?

No. I had bad luck as soon as I noticed my plant goin hermie. I noticed it on one and then i realized they were evrywhere on all my plant 2 days later. If I had your opportunity I would chop that ASAP or transplant it somewhere safe outdoors and throw some cow shit on it and come back for it in a month

But wouldn't I see some male flowers somewhere? Why would I just see seeds? Anyways I plucked all the szeed pods out I saw

oh you got 1 plant out of 7 to sprout? or you have 1 hermie surrounded by 6 plants? if its the latter your herms gotta go

Yeah I've got one plant out of seven that hermeid on me. I check all my plants every day and haven't seen any male flowers at all. Then two days ago I noticed some seed pods popping outta a few buds.....have one other of thatb strain, then two other starins in there...nothing but bud on all the rest...weird how this happend to me last time....different strains...same issue...

Get it out of their of their man. unless its too late then id grow all 7 hermie

Ok...I just don't understand why its only one plant...I finished all my other plants last time, and all them turned out fine....no male flowers....how can one hermie turn all the rest? I will pullit thou thanx

So the lights just came on and its both orange crushes....gonna pull em out and flush then the next few days....makes me real mad....too much time spent on these for shit like this to happen....could popping the door open during night cycle trigger that in less stabalized strains?

Shit i got the big bud right now im gona spray reverse at the begining of flower, i just looked under my canopy n i got hemiees fuck! i thought i was good i had the same happen to my mad man i relized it was as bad as ur big bug nut sacks ow shit mine right now r master platnum ogees n they had no signs of it on the top but im in the 22 day i hit reverse on it today it a small amount bananas arent even yellow yet wow slaped my silly my heart just skipped on me man i have failed many times before n i got this problem again well ill give you my results definately on this progress ill take a pic to bad they hardie plants just like yours

time to Harvest

soul11223 think u might be right but today hit revers top half about four feet high tops look great cristals n bottom r starting to pod ima cut off the new growth from bottom n c what happends

Check out my baby... she has the fattest buds, but now the buds are sporting pollen sacs. Anyone have an idea why? I will put up my nutrient schedule. I measure concentration in CF so 10 CF = 500-700 PPM 30 PPM = 1500-2100 PPM, depending on the scale you use. I am using less nutrient than recommended by GH. I need help to make sure this doesn't happen to her clones.

The clones would take the trait of their mother so it is possible to get another true female hermie although it's very rare. It is obviously a true female hermie(being there were no shock values involved). If there were let's say a light leak shock to the plants photoperiod and that caused a hermie it is much different from a true female hermie. The true female hermie will fuck up your crop but the seeds in which they produce will be 95% feminized(if you believe in that sort of thing). The stressed female that turned hermie has very little effect on a close indoor crop if you fix the problem immediately. If not, havoc. The seeds these produce are no good. The genetics has been tainted because of that generation and will result in many problems. If you get a hermed bud with seeds in it know if it's the right kind of seed or not to grow. Very difficult to understand genetics but if you're passionate enough you'll dig deep and find out amazing things.

you have to spray reverse the day you put the plant in the flower room then again ten days later to keep from getting pollen sacks. If you keep those seeds your gene pool will be screwed for years. I made the mistake of taking ten clones off a hermie.

make sure that reverse spray wares off before you smoke the bud I think it takes 50 days I could be wrong.
