Opinions Needed on Leaving Hermi

Just wondering what you guys think i should do in this situation:
I have 16 plants under a 1000w hps in a 4x4. i grow perpetually. I have querkles, purple kushs, whiteberrys, and amnesia hazes. the Amnesia haze is the only seed start. It is a little over 6 weeks into flower, and as i was going through the canopy i found what im pretty sure is a pollen sack. Not growing from the plant however. it was yellowd and resting on a fan leaf in the middle open. So... im assuming that the damage is done... I have 1 queerkle thats 2 weeks out, 4 that are 3 weeks out, and 1 pk that is about 1 month away. as far as i can tell it doesnt look like anything has been pollinated... I carefully went over the rest of the plant and dont see any more male parts... Do you think i should pull it early? or do you think its too late and i mine aswell finish it out... im thinking the latter as of now. any opinions greatly appreciated.

I have the same thing but I'm at 5 & 1/2 weeks flowering. At 4 weeks I notice a few seed on the bottom branches of few of my plants but not on the top half? I never seen no balls! I'm just going with it! Just curiosity what kind of dirt? FFOF? This is my last grow with FFOF!!!

Yeah get rid of FFOF soil, anything that requires additives shouldn't be used when there is better ways.

I have a hermie in my lot and I just let it go. If you are vigilant you can get all the pollen sacs before they pop, and then you should be alright. I just couldn't afford to take it early, I'm kinda riding on this crop. The smoke from it is sub par though..

I've add 5 cups of lime to each 5 gallon pot of ffof and the ph won't come up! 6 six plants and their 5.8-6.0 ph!Picture 8.jpgHere's' my next grow or 2!

Yeah I have piecing together a hydro setup for months now, and seeing as I'm at day 56 right now I will be moving to that soon. Won't have to deal with this BS anymore haha.

nah fuck ocean forest IMO. ive done side by sides of coco/perlite to ocean forrest. coco plants were double the size. all other variables were the exact same. I also got shitty root aphids from it. I strictly grow in coco now. lets keep this thread on mystery hermis though! Ghettogrower: I have grown plants befor that have popped seeds, and never balls. I also have grown plenty that have hermi genetics, and popped balls within the first month of flower. This Amnesia bothers me beacuse i got the seeds from a guy who kills it outdoor every year, been growing for years, and says the strain is one of the most stable hes ever grown. I did fuck up the light schedule 3 times in 1 week, while working on my room. I assume this is probably what caused it. But what i dont know is how long that pod would have taken to develope, release pollen, and than drop. I couldnt have noticed the sack more than like a week after the light problems, so i feel like it may have come from befor? meaning possible genetic flaws?
