Here's my question, I have two females that were pollinated by a hermie which is now dead. Im 4 weeks into flower and im starting to notice some slowing down of the bud growth and seed pods look like they are popping up every where. These are my first bud plants and i was planning on revegging them after harvest but since they have been pollinated, will they continue to make seeds even after reveggin?
My two girls were pollinated, revegging ?

I would just kill them and start over with some new plants. it doesnt seem like your that far into flowering and most of your bud sites are probably pollenated. if you want some seeds you can keep it around, but its probably not really worth it. i had a plant turn hermie on me last year late into flowering and i was surprised by the amount of small seeds i had one week later when i harvested the rest of the plants in the room. make sure you clean your room out real well and kill all the pollen too.
Well its been almost 4 weeks since i switched to 12/12, I found the hermie before it could pollinate my girls and wanted to keep it for the bud, So i started to pull the pollen sacks before they could mature and one day i pulled one out and it burst so i panicked and shut off my fans right away and killed it so it wouldnt happen again, Obviously that didnt work, I guess it doesnt take that much to pollinate them. As stated before these are the very first plants i have ever grown and i really wanted to keep at least one as a mother, whenever i touch a bud my fingers get very sticky. The two plants smell lovely and all my friends say my house smells like chronic, (luckily my landlord is cool with it!). I would rather keep them going till harvest and i wouldnt mind having seeds. Can anyone tell me if they will stay pollinated even after cleaning my grow room and revegging these two?

one pod with your fans on can pollinate your whole room

Also, since they were already in the flowering/bud development stage take several clones and grow them out. Chances are they will result in females that will be usable. It is not true that pollinated females are always going to end up being "hermies" if they get cloned. At the lab we have several females that we cloned and they turned out just fine. its worth a try as cloning is the best and fastest method to maintain a strain. Just keep them away until they show sex from other plants you might have. Oh yea, once pollinated always pollinated! be sure to scrub your room before the next grow too. At the stage they were in you can also make some fine canna butter or hash too.

you could reveg them if you really wanted to but it takes a while. it would probably be easier to just start over. but you could always just pick the bud sites off and keep it veggin. its gunna be a weird lookin plant tho

yeah but they're also a poor choice as a strain to clone from since they're already producing unwanted hermies.... Who's wants hermie clones. Even if some of the plants are fine it's still in that plants gene somewhere. Whether induced by some trigger or just naturally. I don't know how you feel about it at your "lab" but I have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to hermaphroditic plants.

The hermaphrodite gene is widely believed to be present in the male pollen and only idle in all females. Until pollinated. So by cloning he would have a good chance of getting his original strain and not necessarily a "hermie". My "lab" is at the University of Mississippi, I work in the only legal growing facility of cannabis in the US

I tried cloning before I started the flowering cycle and I did not drop my ppm's a week or so before taking cuttings, besides that I did every thing the way your supposed to and stuck them in a home made bubble cloner with a dome, two weeks later there was not a single rooted clone. I sprayed them twice a day and they looked like they were doing good but failed to root. How long do you think it will take clones to root if I drop my ppms down to around 200ppm now before taking cuttings a week later?
If cloning fails again I still want to try and revegg, although its useless If they keep makings seeds. I wonder if anyone had the same happen to them and what the out come of trying to clone or revegg was.
Or if both fail how viable would the seeds be? one way or another I would like to keep this strain for later use.
I attached a pic I took before lights out and spotted a seed sticking out already! I would hate to get rid of them with that sweet skunky smell and just look at all those trichomes.
