So yesterday I got home from a weekend out of town, and I was suprised to see some sort of sacks on my flowers. 3 out of 5 have these sacks all over. Theres like 3+ on each and every bud.
They are about 6-7 weeks into flowering and I only noticed these sack yesterday.

This is my first gro, so never saw a hermie with in real life. But I believe that these are pollen sacks?
Then again.. I bought these seeds when I was living in spain. A friend of mine gave me some seeds of the same strain that he got from his own grow. He didnt have any mails in between he said. However he managed to get seeds frmo his grow.. It was outdoor in a pretty croudet area of Barcelona, where like every third apartment grow weed. So its prob from there..


Anyway. What should I do with these hermies now? Should I chop them right away and let the 2 last grow to finnish.. (one of these are doing real bad atm. And the other one is of another strain. but looks realy sweet)

Or should I just keep on flowering these things till the end.. They are like 4-5 weeks to finnsh still.. Maby abit less.

In advance.. Thank you verry much for you help :-P

It's up to you. The hermies may pollinate your females. (You did say you had 2 females, right?) But then again, they dont produce much pollen. Your only problem is you'll have seedy weed... The weed will still be pretty good. You def. wont get as much as you would otherwise.

EDIT: Were your plants stressed at all?

Yes.. They where pretty much stressed from start of flowering.. The shelf fell down liek ½ a meter twice, with al lthe plants on it. I didnt open my "my ghetto" closet for a day, with the lights one. And no intake or exhaust fan.
Also they wherent watered hole weekend.. And they already needed water on friday.
So all in all. They had a really rugh time. So this is really no suprise to me at all. But you know.. The best way to learn is to fail :clap:

CPH:

Yes.. They look alot like that. But not as many balls as yours I believe.



Hmm so hard.. Can deside what to do.. Maby a little bong of that kashmir hash I bought earlyer today will help me think :weed:

I think the general consensus is that hermie seeds produce hermie bud.. correct me if I'm wrong. Then again, I wouldn't throw my hard work away and probably would germ the seeds in it and grow them anyway LOL.

you smoke hermie like 30's just take the seeds out. the seeds in a hermie plant will have the genetics of that plant so you will have more hermies if you plant those seeds. I would still smoke it. if you catch a hermie in the beginning and cut the pollens sacks off before they pollinate would work to. I had this one time and I would cut the sacks off everyday. the bottom buds a few seeds in it and the top were good weed with no seeds.

i had a little problem with light leaks and turned 4 of my 11 hermie. but i seperated the plants and fixed the light leak and checked the plants every day for about 10 days and could not find another male flower.....so i dont know what i did. but i did pick the balls off the plants and have only one bud site that looks like it has one seed growing at the bottom. i put pics
