Pollen sacks on some plants-What do I do?

So my plants are 4 weeks into flower(they're 9 week strains). I have 28 plants and 3 are platinum purps, which are the ones showing pollen sacks. Should I take them out? Try to find all the pollen sacks and cut them off and leave them in or what? I don't want to risk the integrity of the rest of my garden by keeping them in, but I am reluctant to take them out because they look so nice! I caught one pollen sack that was just starting to open, the rest were not yet open. What would/do you do in this situation?

Erm get them the fuck out of there :wall: Lol

Seriously. A male can pollenate a female one mile away so spray them with water. On the balls. Put a bag over entire plant and pot and remove them gently. Wash your hands before you touch your other plants after you've mutilated the males/herms

I've heard of people cutting all the pollen sacks off hermies or wrapping plastic bags around the pollen sacks, but I guess i'll just get rid of them, thinking of just putting them outside seeing as it'll get a natural 12 hour dark cycle. These 3 plants that have pollen sacks look better than the rest of the garden lol. i'm hesitant to just kill them. Definitely will move them though.

Yeah I wouldn't keep a male either, a hermie on the other hand is really rare, and it may actually be 1, but it is usually the fault of the grower and not an actual hermie, no offense, I've done it, and I kept said hermie and it has yet to show sacks on any of HER clones...so peace, happy growin, and good luck :peace:

NOTE: Stressing the plant, such as colloidal silver, or just natural stress like putting into flower for 2 weeks, and putting her back into veg for 5 days, and then set her by herself in flower again, and she will "hermie" and grow feminized beans, not hermies. Or if you have just bombarded her with love...LOL...that can do it...less is more :clap:

It's just odd that only these 3 plants of the one particular strain harmied. They looked better than all the rest of the plants too. I'm just trying to figure out what I did that stressed them so much because this run has probably been my best as far as keeping temperatures nice and not burning or having any major deficiencies. I did have thrips for a while, but got rid of them easy and the damage wasn't extensive. Guess maybe this strain is just really sensitive.

Lmao. Male plants are fuckers. I know a guy who replanted his male plants near his rivals grow He planted two mates and they pollenated his entire grow. Just kill em. My best plant so far turned out to be a male. It's tough to cut it down but just get it done. You'll survive.

image.jpg Nice and female. That's all we want for our efforts this one suffered my lack of knowledge so she's not as big or yielding as could be BUT she still producing.

If is mighty big word for 2 letters huh...example, "Balls said the queen, IF I had 2 I'd be king" and maybe that's what his plant is thinking :clap:
And maybe that's what you would do, but IF I had thrown away that 1 plant when I was starting out...I wouldn't have a beautiful strain of White Rhino...with no dong or balls I might add :hump:

If they were grown right and you didn't have many probs, well then I'd say it's an actual hermie, and then yes, I would get rid of it cuz you can't breed it out...peace
