Do I have Hermies? What should I do?!

Alright there is a first for everything, just noticed this today when trimming some undergrowth on my Henny OG Strain. I am 99.9% sure this is Hermies but just want it verified....


Quick run down on my room, 8kw, 2 4x8 tables with a 5x8 trellis net above them. 6 plants per table, 4kw per table, 12 plants total in flower room. Veg room and Flower room are both connected HVAC wise but no light leaks. Have had this room going for a few years and never had this issue. I have 6 plants (GG4, All Same Strain) that are on Flush now (Half week into flush) and will be ready to chop on the 15th. I have 6 other plants (2 Henny OG, 2 LS, 2 Sour D) on week 4. Anyway BOTH my Henny OG plants look like they have Hermied and since this is my first time I think the sacs have opened up.
If what I am seeing is true, I need to stop that Pollen ASAP, but no matter how I pull those plants it is going to disrupt the heck out of everything (including opening up more sacs since its in a double trellis) So How should I execute this plan?
My girls that are on the flush should I pull them a little early incase they got pollen on them?

HELP!!!

Pluck the lil nanner looking thing off gently take it to another section or outside of your location cit it open and see if pollen comes out also if your close to harvest and all you plants are close to harvest start plucking em off best you can if need to i usually just cut the plant and put it in a bucket with a airstone for the last week just my style of flush but i you do that you can then seperare your plants if you move em and they get disturbed just spray water an wipe everythin down remember water kills pollen just scrub your area real good cheers bud :bigjoint:

There are a bunch of those what I assume are "nanners" these two plants cover about a 5'x3' section in the Trellis but don't forget it is in a double Trellis so it would be very difficult to remove without disturbing all the pollen sacs and stuff, I would have to cut and kill both plants to remove them out of the trellis net - or cut the heck out of the nets. Plants are in 10G coco pots so they could live out of it but If I removed them from room it is in the teens at night so I would have to kill them as they wont survive outside.

So I guess do I just spend all day plucking nanners? they seem to have them in the buds and things at bases of stems. I would hate to ruin the rest of my crop and really worried about my plants that are in flush since they pretty much rub into each other.

your first picture in this second post of yours is just the calyx but the second picture is clearly showing what needs to be removed. you're so close, just remove what you can find/get to and don't worry about it now.

There are a ton of them, I will start plucking them. So if they keep coming back do I do anything different?

Sorry I am just extremely worried about having a full run of seeds, I would pull it but I worry more I might make things worst then better due to them being in the double trellis.

Pluck Pluck Pluck I go

Thanks guys

Should I do anything different with my 6 girls that are next to them that are on flush already? Hate to take the chance of those getting seeds being only 10 days out. They show no sign of Hermie'ing but I'm sure there is still time to start producing seeds if any of the Pollen made it over

Also are these things going to keep growing back all the time for the 5 weeks or so they have left and make my life a nightmare plucking a few dozen of these every day or will they kinda stay away?

Water makes pollen immobile but doesn't kill it. Nothing in nature would work if that was the case.
Yes. They will keep growing back...or you may be lucky as some OG and kush related strains pop them Nanners at 3 to 4 weeks then stop. It's a recessive trait in OGs and from what I have learned generally happens on lower buds siteswith limited light coverage.
I have never used it but there is a reverse spray out there...DE reverse I think. Have a look into that. Especially if you have 5 weeks left. Good luck.
