i actually agree with you not to pull it. you are right to pull off the pollen sacks. make sure this plant is loli popped (shaved legs) usually male pollen sacks will appear on lower growth that doesn't receive that much light.

Thanks guys. Yes, from what I have read the plant should have been pulled. But I wanted the lady to go all the way. Hey swaggersDlite, You mean remove all the small knuckle buds that are forming? How far up the branches should that be done, and will that give me more yield overall?

I've only had a herm once and I just cut the entire branch off and tagged the area for future inspection.

Might not have pulled it but for sure has hell would have moved it away from the rest of my crop. I can see how some say pull it and some say leave it. for some of us that only have 2-3 going.. ya keep it.. more bud.. I guess if i lived in a med state or CO I would have pulled it. Waste of time. Seeing some of these grows with 15-20 monsters.... would hate to dedicate time on something that could ruin a whole crop. In one of the pics the male flowers have opened. make sure shes down wind. And I wouldn't advise growing anything seed wise that you find from this plant.

i had to google knuckle buds no search relevant to this though, LOL. but i i think if you meant any lower "scruffy" buds you know the stuff that really wont add weight and isnt getting much light. i personally take off between abouts a 1/3 to 1/2 the plant. and yes if done early enough will add a bit weight but more importantly by taking off lower buds now the plant will focus more energy and fertilizer to the parts that really need it ( the Buds ) making them denser and prettier over all.

It will produce more pollen sacks. If you plan to keep it, keep a close eye on it.

I would pull it because of my other plants, and out of courtesy for other growers who might not like hermie pollen on the air.

I have a question! I know a plant that naturally hermies is prone to hermie... what are the chances that it hermies due to stress\grower error... would those seeds not be feminised.. well I have two questions I found 4 seeds in some bomb girlscout....they all germinated I was wondering if I get a male and cross it with a legit female is it possible to breed the hermie trait out of the offspring?shit I got 3 questions if it's a male and it hermies will those seeds have more female in the genes...I'm assuming the last one is no!!

I'm actually growing kush that comes from a plant that was done something to hermie and self pollinate. Got males and females out of the seeds, but the females threw out nanners with actual pollen and self pollinated around the same time, on the 6th week of flower. I believe the new seeds will do the same. nigro just done fucked some pricey seeds and didn't bother to tell
