I belive one of my plants is hermie. Its got banana like looking things hanging down in some parts of the plant and others budding up nicley. I was wondering if this herm would affect my female plant thats right beside it. There both budding up and getting hairs on them.

Gatta look at your options... 1. How far into flowering are you 2. How many plants do you have 3. How much do you want to harvest min (can you reach this w/o that plant) 4. Do you mind some seeds

If you have your clones already they are safe. So if your low on fems this round you could let it ride and get some seeds in your buds and hope for the best your next round. If you are fine with the # of fems you have tear that bastard out.

I have taken the hermie out of the box. I am not looking for a big yeild. This is strickly for learning purposes. The one plant was defently a hermie. The pollen sacks were opening and pouring when I was taking a closer look. After I took it to another room of coarce.

I think the problem was 24/7 light during veg. I heard it can make plants hermie.

I veg mine at 24hr light and out of 28 plants I got 17 females and 11 males. No hermies.

no sorry, I heard that growing 24/7 stresses the plants out and the stress can cause hemie.
