think its a hermie? Should i yank it

got 3 plants going in dwc, day 25 of flower.. stuck my head deep in today to inspect the plants and one of the 3 plants seems to have some male characteristics, i pulled down 2 of the lower branches and took pics

but i think i need to pull this plant so i dont affect the other 2.. Any thoughts? is the damage already done? i see nanners and balls am i wrong?

Yeah it's a Hermie. If one hermied the others probably have as well. Just let it grow, harvest, and collect the seeds. Abracadabra you now have feminized seeds. These will have a tendency to Hermie so make sure everything is up to par and keep your new plants happy. Should have no problems with the new ones. If u pull now it's just a waste of time and decent smoke.

the other 2 plants dont have any signs of hermie, and i have tons of seeds already. Wouldnt it be better to just kill this one and give the other 2 more space and keep em seedless? or as seedless as possible

brown fibers = already pollinated

Most likely they are already pollinated, or soon to Hermie. I'd just let them grow and pick bananas when you see them, balls too.

I see at least one pod has already opened.. It can be saved, carefully pic all those pods off and watch for new ones. I’ve had herms in my garden and sometimes never got and seeds because I was on top of it. Definitely not genetics that are worth keeping in my opinion. Good luck.

Personally I'd scrap the run and start over, only in like what week 2 of flower? I'd at least pull the hermie

i wouldn't because picking is a pain in the ass and most the time plant gets pollinated to all hell anyway and youll end up with more seed then weed. some hermie. plants can produce good bud though

Carefully pull it out of the garden immediately and dispose of it or keep it for pollen in a separate area, it likely has spread pollen like everybody said above, but to what extent is the issue? Good luck!

If and when you do start over don’t forget to clean you grow area.

How bad is it? I’ve had herms with like only 3 pods throughout the entire grow.

Picking is a pain in the ass, I agree. But you can still have unpollinated buds somewhere. It's worth trying.

I yanked it bagged it up and it’s in the trash , I do believe it is an isolated incident of just that plant . All of the other have white pistols and much further along in flower. It took this plant the longest to develop and overall it wasn’t the least desirable of the garden anyways.
The other 2 plants have more space now and hopefully they are ok: both of them are much further along the one I yanked despite being planted at the same time .

That being said I am sure I may not wind up with a fully seedless crop but hopefully I’ve controlled it. Time will tell. If god forbid one of the next two hermie on me , I will just let nature run it’s course

Figured I would come back and update .

Other 2 plants are alive and well (if anything happy with the extra space ). Did a res change to make sure nutrients are good and in check .

No hermie on other plant yet and they are blooming away , also no signs of them being pollinated .. cautiously optimistic that everything is going to be just fine
