The temps xould cause herms if genetics are unstable.
And u can always smoke ur meds with seeds in it. Hell thats what im doin right now.
I wasnt pleased with it cause it had seeds but once i cured it and smoked ahalf jay i got a incredible head change. It was better then the kush i usually be smoking. Im VERY impressed.
So just pluck the nanners, and pull the pollin sac and itll help
but ur gonna have seeds. Just give it a try.and if anything u can make hash or oil or ear wax etc
Good luck!

thanks for the help i will be plucking, I still have maybe around 2 weeks to go till harvestso ill be patient and try to be a good observer, I wish it dose not give to many seeds. I am scared about the genetics cause i have 4 more clones from the same mother in my veg room, so I dont know if its worth the risk of flowering the same strain any help?

So i have been reading aliitle to get to the point where my plants stressed and i came across a thread of a guy that says his plants drop during the night, which is normal because all the water is at the roots right? I have walked in my room right after lights turn on and they were not droppy, so this is another symptom of stress right? So I am looking at a watering schedule problem to see if it was from there. any help?
 
Dont ever grow from Fem. Seeds, ThEY CAN STILL HERMIE, if all else fails and you dont have light leak isssues then it could be the seeds. Now fem. seeds wont always hermie, they can! your best bet is to get regular seeds of that strain grow till you hit gold and then you'll obviously have your clones.

Yeah, those are too far along to prevent seeds now...but who cares if there are a few seeds in a plant...? Not me..which is why I leave hermies to finish...but I might not anymore because just a couple of days ago I got my first case of bud rot...and it came from the dead pollen sacks, and seeds casings in the middle of the bud...the seeds were done and fell out, but the calyx cover was still in the middle of the bud, and it rotted...so I had to remove the whole plant early...super sucks.

Heat stress looks like ur plant is really perky. All the leaves will be almost straight up. But a healthy plant perks about a 45 deg angle.
 
ya growing from regular seeds, until you have a female. You will only really know after you put it in 12/12 obviously, but you still have to take clones before 12/12 because to take trimmings off a plant in 12/12 may hurt/confuse the trimmings, so always before... And this is still not to say the specific strain or other sources causing stress can still hermie a plant. so strict conditions are required. An example is i grew in a tent, the light was on during day light hours off at night time hours, so no light leak obviously, i tried to control everything from the temperature, humidity, nutes(not burning the plants),to light leak, and also not burning the plants due to having them to close to the light(which did happen on this one in particular, due to becoming to big) So doing everything a grower should do, keeping mental notes of what you did or anything that has happened to the plants during flowering. Some of the conditions for my plant in particular, were, before flower she was semi-root bound, cleared that up and waited 10 days to put her in 12/12. also the size issue, over a period of time the plant was heat stressed some, the top was also removed (it was past the light and pretty much died) and the rest was bent down(this happens around 6 or 7 weeks tho) so
then i determined how far along i started seeing male flowers. which came around 12 weeks, just before harvest. This was a Sativa maybe sativa Dom. from a bagseed tho.
Overall this plant never really showed signs and maybe did this stunt because this is sometimes it's natual mechanism to produce seeds, or that it has hermie genes, i dont think its was left in to long either, due to what i was reading through to scope, it really wanted to go 3-4 more weeks, which is perfectly fine for some Sativa strains, and only under a 400 watt hps is not the best. So clones were still kept and going to try once more and see before i dump it or collect pollen then this next time, to put with another nice strain i have, this strain was still really awesome, with a few seeds lol ,
try and message me if you'd like to know more, or try to go see a few of my posts, where there are some pics, Hope some of that helps
 
i dont actually know if i would be good or not, i would say not to, bacause if they are already hermie, then it's kinda a waste to even give them grow space if other plants need it, and if thats the case then you'd be wasting nutes also. If you continue growing anyways, then ya, i guess just follow your routine, the seeds will sap out nutes. but yet again i cant be sure, thats just what seems like common sense to me atm...
 
For what it's worth, I've had "nanners", or pollen-sacks, in the top of my buds (just like in your picture) a few times, and to me it happens with regular seeds just as often as feminized (simply my personal experience).

If it happens late in flowering, I never kill it, I continue to grow it like nothing happened. I've never regretted that.

I have pulled out all the male flowers there were not alot, I inspect my garden everyday and haven´t seen anything the last 3 days and do not see no seeds growing I am 5 and half weeks into flowering and will be inspecting everyday.

Any1 have any ideia the amount of seeds I will have? I dont see none yet. I dont want massive seed on my bud but if I find one here and there wont really mind I guess...?
 
if your only 5 1/2 weeks in then, it might be stress or maybe just a natural hermie. If you caught the sacks befor the pollen opened then expect minimal casualty to THC productivity. Otherwise if all 5 were able to open, you whole plant, and maybe a lil of other plants may be compromised, especially if you have good air movement which im sure you do. If they all opened i would expect at this stage you may want to pick out all seeds, and decontaminate your room, to get rid of any residual pollen so if your plants stops the male sacks you dont re-pollinate your plants in the future. Keep up on all other stress related problems, and keep your watch-full eye on anything that doesn't look right, including the sacks.
