Can anyone explain me how it's possible to have a nice female plant into late flowering and i have just discovered a couple of seeds... so it took a closer look and i found out it has 2, not a couple but 2 male flowers... how much can 2 flowers contaminate my growroom? Since i got another female plant just started flowering and 2 clones of it... i turned off all the fans and picked the flower.. but still what else should i do... help me please i m desperate...

2 male flowers can pollenate many females. Just gt rid of the male flowers and clean up the best you can. That is all you can do.

Also remember that pollen can live for 3 months or so in the refridgerator. It should be less time in light and heat.

remove your plants and clean out your grow room as best you can with bleach. once pollinated you're pretty much stuck. its not the end of the world though.

You can also treat hermie plants with dutch masters 'reverse' It kills off the male organs in hermi plants.

Doh,, i cant even remove my plant atm since it doesnt fit the door of the closet... so since i started flushing last wednesday i give it 2 more weeks to harvest regardless it's ready or not.. So prolly i m doomed.. but the peculiar about this hermie is that it just had 2 single flowers.. never seen that so far.. So i m going to turn my fans on and pray that my top buds arent getting polinated and the uvb lamp degrades pollen a bit faster... Btw have this occured to anyone? just 2 single small flowers?

I had a Star Kush throw just one male flower, after heavy stress due to supercropping.

It happens, just have to be prepared for it is all.
