I have a 4x8 grow and three out of eight plants Hermed. What should I do??

can I pull the sacks off? I already sprayed them all with water to hopefully save the others.

I just ordered another 4x8 in which I will move the hermed plants to be alone in another room.

suggestions please.

Even with another room you can track pollen on your clothes or anything id just pull the sacks off while there small before they get to the pollen stage and keep an eye on them I recently killed two herms because I would pull sacs and then come back and there would be even more. If you don’t mind seeded buds then keep em I want only females that’s why I cut them

Carefully pull them off, do it before they turn yellow.

If they aren't tucked deep in the flowers just dab your fingers or tweezers in some water to help catch loose pollen as you pop them off.

If they are happy plants and yet keep going hermie for no reason, then yeah move them into another tent if it helps.

But you should probably think about why they Hermèd in the first place. I think I stressed mine out really bad when I transplanted. The soil fell apart and a lot of the roots broke apart.

i tried but it’s too many variables. I had a plant in another tent that wasn’t growing the best. We chopped it early and dried it in the same room...turns out that that plant was fully hermed and seeded 100% but we couldn’t tell. Once dried it was all seeds! Figure that it’s possible that pollen came off that plant and got in the air while it was drying.

or it could possibly be heat stress. It’s just been a lot going on. Sucks but it’s a critical grow that I can’t lose anything. I got a lot banking on it.

I don’t want any seeded bud but is it possible to grow Hermies out with no seeds if plucked early and properly?

Yeah that’s def how they got hermed. That’s why I killed mine lol I don’t want any problems.. I’ll clone a good plant or buy seeds before I put energy into a male or herm plant.

Yeah I’ve had people tell me that it could only be one or two seeds so don’t cut it but that’s why I said check them daily and once you get to a point where your constantly plucking new ones I would just cut it to save the rest of my grow but I personally didnt wanna chance it because I had females in my tent who were budding already

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.Chop em save the rest.
Hard and harsh,but why take a chance with such a critical grow.

Maybe in a different tent,you could try to reveg,but not sure if even that would work,
I’ll most likely finish the flower in a different tent. I already ordered another 4x8 for another room across the house.

I think I’ll spray them down and pull the sacks off and spray them again and separate them and see if they come back.

Drying a seeded plant in the same room, although not the greatest idea, cannot possibly cause a plant to reverse.
Light leaks, unstable conditions of some sort, must be rectified.

Strain was Huckleberry and I wanted a Mom, so I did it. I finally found one true female for Him but I kept one too. Never again. I buy or breed. Can't fuk up a room with pollen like that again.

I sprayed them to death with water, pulled sacks and sprayed again. I think we caught it early
