Sudden Hermie - should I scrap the whole tent?

I had six large plants in flowering. They are between weeks two and five. Last night I noticed one of the plants suddenly hermiedd and had pollen sacs at the nodes. I have thoroughly inspected the other plants. One appears to have seeded. I can't tell about the others. Should I just scrap everything and start from veg ?

The plants are also too large for the tent. I had to top the largest one at week two in flowering. I'm certain this stress will cause it to Hermie as well in time. I think it's best to just start from scratch but these plants are halfway through flowering already and would have yielded quite a bit.. my veg plants won't be ready for another two weeks.

What would you do ?

Unlikely that your whole crop got pollinated, remove the hermie and carry on. Unless you were going to sell it all as bud who cares if there are a few seeds? If the seeds are that big a problem, you could finish it and then turn it all into hash, sift, whatever.

There is a less stressful way to sex your plants. Take a small brown paper bag and put over one limb tip on each plant to make 12 hours of darkness. Mark the limb somehow, and repeat this every day. That limb tip will start to flower in two weeks.

You answered your question. If the veg plants are not ready, you would be sitting empty for two weeks. Get the hermie out, and carry on. at least until you are ready to refill the flower room. Every day longer you run it, it is giving your weight and quality.
