how much damage can one busted pollen sac do to my babies? because i had a bagseed grow goin and ended up with just one female and 75 days into flowering i found a pollen sac sittin on top of my soil, looked for more and only found one that wasnt even open, and i cut it out. couple days later it started to hermie in other spots but i couldnt see any busted sacs. i decided to chop it. when i chopped it i noticed it looks like ive got some seeds goin on most of lower buds :cry:
i got the others males out fast and properly too when i first started flowering

so does that mean one pollen sac from a hermie 75 days into flowering could have produced those pesky seeds?

yea man, same thing here. i think a light leak caused one of my girls to go hermie. although it now seems fixed (no more male flower production) the damage has been done to all the inside lil snapper nugs. all my colas and my main cola are untouched, but all inner nuggage has turned to seed clusters. who thinks i should harvest? im not a pro, just trying to be one. are my cola gonna keep growing or is all the attn gonna be focused on the seeds? any help? i only have 2 sour diesels and one is the hermie so i really dont wanna harvest yet but if im not going to get any more size to the nugs then what should i do?

trust me when i say your crop is ruined. I had 1 hermie in my grow room that I caught too late and fucked my whole grow. The day you see a hermie is the day u chop it down cuz its not worth picking out 50 seeds in a bud.

well like i said, it looks as if all my colas are left untouched, a few bananas opened and pollinated a lot of inner nugs close to the main stem. i could use the seeds, and the bananas went away, all the seeds look almost fully developed now so i deff can see where the plant was pollinated. maby you had a fan on at the time that spread the pollen? mabye im lucky my fan was not on at the time the bananas busted? so i guess my question now is, are these seeds going to be fertile? can i just harvest this plant for edibles and concentrates? i have another of the same strain (sour diesel X master kush) thats a prize, a mother for sure after i harvest. any feedback will be great!
