So after supercropping one of my girls that MAINLINED HERSELF, I noticed that the new growth is only sprouting 3-fingered leaves. The new growth looks very healthy though so I'm more curious than concerned. Thoughts?
3 fingered leaves

Probably just from stress.

Will that affect the yield? Im also thinking that the recent temps this week have been barely over 70 degrees, that might have something to do with it. (Outdoor in san diego)

I think once the plant recovers the leaves will go back to normal. I dont think you have much to be worried about.

That's what i figured. I mean, the new growth looks GREAT so i wasn't too freaked

Welp, she hermied. Found a few balls scattered throughout the top couple nodes.
Heartbreaking.

Supper cropping is a high stress form of training and is not with out risks.
You might be able to pick the balls off and keep going, but that too has its risks

What risks come with picking the balls off and continuing? Bananas in the buds? I might just pull it since I'm a noob and dont want to ruin my other plants. And it's preflowering both pistils and balls. Im not in full flower mode yet

I assume that, over time, you start to die a little less inside everytime you uproot a baby. This hurts my soul

If you other plants pull it, agreed.
Balls and nanners ain't exactly the same thing, almost the same thing, but nanners usually come in singles and have no sack around them to open . So when a nanner shows up it can release it pollen quickly.
Anyway good luck.

if you know what caused the hermie you may want to save some pollen and make some fem seeds. remember that whatever caused the parent to hermie will most likely cause the offspring to hermie. example if light leak caused the herm it may make the seeds herm but if your positive you fixed the leak and wont have any others you may with to make fem seeds. if you do get rid of the hermies but save a couple nanners in a bag. chose the colas you want to bear seed. tie a ribbon around them soy you keep track of your seeded buds. use a que tip to pollinate marked colas.

Wait, wait, wait. Cpl a questions.....
Regular or Fem seeds?
From who?
Strain?
Real balls? Exactly where? This sounds more like a male then common herming! Give us pics please....
If it's throwing 3 leaves from a super cropping. Somethings not right besides.....That minor stress should not make a plant throw 3. I've never had that problem super cropping any strain that I ran. I Have seen that done by males!
Just so you'se guys know.....Plants herming by the odd thrown "naners".....Those naners on average are over 80% sterile......Sure as hell not that they don't cause beans....They're just mostly non-viable...Long story about naners.

Looking at the pics supplied...... Don't see any super cropping anywhere!
I see topped plants and only 1 plant was throwing five leaflets anyway.
Your plants with 3 "fingers", tell me they are not yet stable! The one with 5 was topped and that made it regress back to unstable again.
I see low mg and low feeding. it's getting better but, I bet you saw a calyx forming at the branching point...
Give us a pic of one of these "balls".

Sorry for the late reply. I've been germinating my collection of seeds so there's no way of knowing if they're feminized or not. It was a male after all. Allbeit, there WERE female preflowers, shortly after i noticed the female preflower, a bunch-o-balls popped up out of nowhere. I uprooted it and the rest of my crop is looking good.

I try to kill every seedling that sprouts, in a variety of ways.
when they are still tiny ill let them wilt and water, tossing whatever doesn't wake up. I'll feed them twice as much, waaaay too early, whatever thrives I keep alive. I starve some, I put a constant fan on some, more drought. At the end I have plants i don't have to baby sit, no chasing temps or coddling finicky should-na-beens. I usually end up with hassle free plants by killing the weak ones first.

The tough love approach...i like it. Im actually about to make a post that'll blow your mind about some unknown strength that i just have to breed
