it has to come out of there. I would not interupt my other cabinet and just get rid of it-- If it was my first grow i wouldnt deal with a hermie. like u said, it's "supposed" to be sour d so it may not even be a loss of good smoke.

Yes it has to come out so you don't pollinate the other plants, but like some of the others have posted, keep it in a different area if you can. You don't have to destroy it, you just don't want it near the others where it might pollinate them as well. If some of the sacks burst, it can be a pain to get rid of the pollen, and you can even contaminate a future grow.

I decided to take the safe route and follow the advice of those who said to get rid of it.

Ironically....as I was cutting it up and putting it in a garbage bag, I was looking closer, and noticed that almost every bud had a sac, which makes me wonder if I mis-sexed it to begin with. I am certain that I saw the pistils originally, with the 2 white hairs coming out.

Do MALES create flowers like this plant had???????

Do hermies usually create THAT many sacs? Some of them were way bigger than the ones I originally saw, so I'm thinking that they could have popped really soon.

I don't have the experience to try and make something work that I'm not ready for. And, like K3rnal InGus mentioned....even if I wanted to move it to my other cabinet and let it run its course for seeds, I may stand the chance of contaminating my next grow. Plus...having pollen spewing out of my basement cabinet may end up causing some to get on my skin or clothes, and then when I tend to my 2 remaining girls, I may end up accidentally pollinating them.

Many thanks to everyone for their quick advice today!!!!!!!
