I went on vacation and while I was gone had someone drop in to water just once heavily, not expecting them to do much more.

When I returned, I realized a fem seed plant had hemaphrodited and pollinated the crop, Shit! I tore it down at 4 weeks and bleached the floor, as well as a wall or two. I did not bleach the whole room. In addition I had the veg and flower room connected via ducting, as I wanted to utilize in the veg the CO2 I had in my flower room.

My question to you is- Are the plants that were in the veg that were exposed to air, (which i assume had pollen in it for a short time), are those plants also proned to turn male even though they were in the veg? Those plants have since been placed in the flower for two weeks now and do not appear to be flowering profusely, SHITTTTT! I fear they are all males....

I don't know what to do, I feel like every plant has pollen on it now, and can and will turn male, FCUK! I'm so upset. How can I move forward to make this space growable again, I do not have access to another house or other grow spaces. Please help!!

waz it the whole plant or just a limb. you should be ok just removingit fromthe grow area. if it was just a limb that seeded on youyou would of been ok leaving itin there. we experamented with one like that with a friends grow and things went just fine. in fact he grew the seeds and 85% ended up female.

The hemaphrodite I believe opened pollen sacks, from there the oscillating fans must have carried it all over the room because I saw seed formations on various parts of each plant.

To answer your question the hemaphrodite affected whole plants.

Thanks for your help!

If you had pollen that had gotten into your flower room, what would you do before you put more plants into that flower room for the next go round?

I really appreciate it
