How F***ed am I?

30 days into flowering noticed that one of feminized plants decided to go hermie. One male flower opened. I found two more male flowers that did not open. I immediately removed the transvestite bitch. She was full of great buds. Are the other plants in the flowering room f***ed? I have ten that are thirty days in and ten that went in 3 days ago. Help!

when that male opened did all the fems have the white hairs out already?

better yet did you see any yellow on the dirt, containers, plants, anywhere near the plants? If so you are gonna get some awsome hermie and feminized beans... if it just opened you might be really lucky and caught it at the right time.... so either way its win win right?

No Yellow stuff anywhere. All the girls have white hair. The other plants will make regular seeds won't they? I thought only the hermie would produce female seeds. Basically, I have no need for seed so if I get any my crop is shot.

I will keep you posted. I sent the hermie away to a friends house for safe keeping. Going to let it finish out. Curious to see what the hell happens. I yanked the balls off of her so who knows.

That's correct, the hermie plant will produce feminized seeds. IF the other plants got pollinated by the hermie, those seeds will be regular seeds, NOT feminized.

That is what I thought. Thanks for the reassurance. It has been twenty years since my last grow back in college and it has been a rough start. Anything that can go wrong has gone wrong.

thats just sick man yankin balls off a hermie... do u generally go around tuggin on hermie nutz? lol j/k you can also use an enzime spray that would have let you keep the hermie right there and not produce any pollen... cant rememebr right now where to get it but might be a useful tool in the future...

while it is correct that pollen from a hermie will produce fem seeds in itself it may also pollenate plants that have a greater chance of their offspring being hermie... all depends on why the plant was hermie...stresss or genetic.
