Hi, i have an indoor garden of 10 auto plants in their third week of flowering and 6th from sprouting
2 auto somango
5 sweet seeds +speed
3 Dutch passion autoxtreme
I have just noticed 4 little balls growing in one mid branch on one of the autoextreme. There is no other ball or sign of hermie in the whole grow i checked each plant carefully. That branch was very close to an HPS side light so i m thinking it might have gone hermie due to extreme heat and light. Shall i just cut that branch off so i dont risk polination ? Or could i seal it with a plastic bag over it, then collect the pollen when it grows and carefully polinate just 1-2 buds, also covering them on an transparent bag so i can create some seeds ? Does it sound risky ? I ll post some pics later on, i would apreciate opinions from people that have an idea of breeding seeds.

Try as you might if its left in there all your girls WILL be seeded. Its too hard to try and control pollen in a open room. And every plant that grows from those seed will have the hermie gene in it, so its very likely that all the plants grown from those seeds will hemie on you.
